"As honest as a Campbell Lawyer...." U.S. Senator Robert Morgan, Convocation, August 1976

- Kenelm Lecture -A Campbell Tradition

Robert W. Drummond

In 1981, Robert Drummond of Carthage, director of the Kenelm Foundation of Collingwood, New Jersey, and president of Kenelm, Inc. of North Carolina (which he founded in 1961), approached Campbell University with a unique proposition to establish a program about North Carolina for North Caro­linians. The result of the propostion was the creation of 'The Kenelm Foundation - Campbell University Seminar Series" at the Weymouth Center in Southern Pines.

Robert Drummond was 82 when he died of cancer at his winter vaca­tion home in West Palm Beach, Florida. Drummondwas a true friend of Campbell University. President Wiggins, in his salute to Drummond

at the memorial service in the Weymouth Center, referred to Drummond as "a man of great vision and complete integrity, a man for all seasons."

President Wiggins said of Drummond, "He believed that the Kenelm Lecture Series would help the cause while enriching the lives of his neighbors. Without his foresight and willingness to put his shoulder to the wheel, it is reasonable to believe we probably would not be here today. Yet, with all his vision, I doubt that Bob Drummond could have foreseen how successful it would turn out. His •neighbors' have come to Include citizens from almost every sector of the state. The lecturers are persons of national and jnternational reputa­tion. The highly successful annual Tax Seminar led by the renowned Sidney Cass has been augmented by lectures concerning law, govern­ment and business. And today, we come pledging that we are moving toward other new firing lines."

Remembering Bob Drummond Robert W. Drummond had a strong

interest in the programs offered at the Weymouth Center, and the lectures se­ries he established through Campbell University has been a model for a unique relationship in advancing the cause of learning.

I well recall ourfirst meetino. He had stopped by The Pilot to talk about find­ing a home for his zebras. Later, he came back to talk about preserving Weymouth, and he was supportive of the concepts for establishing the Center. He was a frequent visitor to the newspa­per office, where we discussed the lec­ture series, and other programs he envi­sioned.

Bob Drummond served on the Weymouth Board of Directors with dis­tinction, always courteous, friendly and interested. He had long before matched his original gift, and he continued to contribute funds, along with his time and talents.

Preserving Weymouth and its con­cepts had a special appeal to him. " It was something that needed to be done," he once said. We shall always treasure our memory of Bob Drummond. He will be missed.

The Campbell Lawyer —September 1990

Tim Ail<en Hosts 1990 Kenelm Lecture for Students The 1990 Kenelm Lecture was held in Kivett Hall on May 8, with attorney

Timothy J. Aiken of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, presenting the lecture, "Becoming a Trial Lawyer." He provided valuable insights and advice to an audience full of aspiring future trial lawyers. Mr. Aiken was also the Kenelm Lecturer at Campbell in 1989, and has been invited back to deliver the 1991 lecture.

It is fitting that Mr. Aiken, a prominent and successful litigator from Milwaukee, has become a regular speaker here as Campbell has such a strong tradition of award winning trial advocacy programs. In his Kenelm lectures, Mr. Aiken has shared a vast wealth of expertise in trial advocacy with both law students and practicing attorneys.

Mr. Aiken is the senior shareholder in the law firm of Aiken & Mawicke, S.C., which services referral lawyers throughout the Midwest and also has an extensive business, tax, corporate and probate practice. He graduated from Marquette University Law School at the top of his class in 1975 and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the State Bar of Wisconsin, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and the Wisconsin Academy of Trial Lawyers. In 1986, he served as President of the Wisconsin Academy of Trial Lawyers, and he was a member of the Board of Directors form 1981 to 1988. He is a past Vice-chair of the Council of Presidents of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America and is a past member of the Board of Directors of the Litigation Committee of the State Bar of Wisconsin. Mr. Aiken is a frequent speaker at continuing education programs and has authored numerous articles on case management and trial strategy, including "Hang on to Those 'Hopeless' Cases," 5 The Verdict 2, Spring 1982 and 'The Canadian Connection," Trial Diplomacv Journal. Fall, 1985.

Students React To Tim Aiken's Lecture

The following comments are from 3L Student Hugh Lewis:

Mr. Aiken's discussion of trial tech­niques reinforced my belief that a few basic factors determine an attorney's fate in the courtroom. These basic factors are the same factors that control success in daily life. Unfortunately, we often overlook factors because of their simple basic nature.

BE YOURSELF. A successful trial attorney's self-assurance allows him to be himself. Being one's self is an easily assessable intangible. If the attorney does not act within his own character, then the juror will not believe the information he gives them.

BE PREPARED. An attorney's confidence and self-assurance come from a complete understanding of his case. Understanding-his case, the advocate can concentrate on the opponent's case. The successful advocate writes out his examination and prepares alternate questions in expectation of the opposition's examination.

BE HONEST AND USE YOUR WEAKNESS AS A STRENGTH. Being truthful means being realistic. Each case has unavoidable weaknesses that the successful trial attorney willingly exposes. This willing exposure of the weaknesses reduces the power of the opposition's case. Admission of the weaknesses also creates trust between the jury and the attorney. Standing in front of a judge or jury makes all attorneys nervous. The successful advocate admits his nervousness and channels the nervous energy into a positive force.

KNOW THE JURY. What the listener considers important is the basic principle of the art of persuasion. The successful advocate studies the mores and customs of the jury's community. This study allows the attorney to learn what facts are important to the jury. A successful attorney knows that it is what the jury believes that is important, not his own beliefs.

Mr. Aiken's talk helped me to understand that the same common sense and commitment that creates success in daily life also creates success in the courtroom.

Building Fund Update

The planned addition to the Law School

The Kresge Challenge Grant As recently announced, the Kresge Foundation of Troy Michigan has made a challenge

grant to the law school building fund campaign. The challenge grant of $350,000 is

conditional upon the law school raising $4 million dollars no later than January 1,1991.

President Wiggins, who originally announced the gift, is optimistic that the challenge will

be met. "Our people are leaving no stone unturned," said Wiggins. "We are working day

and night and we are not working alone. We have hundreds of volunteers who are lending

a helping hand."

In addition to those planned givers listed above, hundreds of alumni have given lesser amounts. Deans Hetrick and Brown noted with pride that 100% of the Class of 1990 have participated in the building fund campaign.

Numerous alumni are also giving for the first time and others are increasing the amount of their contributions daily to become entitled to receive the naming opportunity afforded planned givers. "Our goal," said Dean Hetrick. "is to get 75% participation from our law alumni in this vitally important building project and each gift puts us a little closerto reaching our goal."

Law School Briefs Campbell Moot Court Team

Finishes 3rd in National ABA Competition

Campbell's Moot Court Team fin­ished at a record high level placing third in the national ABA competition in August in Chicago. The team consisting of Gary Homes, Chris Mewborn and Darci Judkins had won the regional competi­tion in Baltimore in April, and represented the region in a twenty-two team field for the national competition held in Chicago during the ABA Convention. The team won all its preliminary rounds and ad­vanced into the semifinals. Team mem­ber Cary Homes won the award for third best oralist in the competition

The Team's coach, law faculty member Lynn Buzzard, noted that the Team's finish was particularly impres­sive because they were competing as second year students and because the

Moot Court Team; Darci Judkins, Chris Mewborn, and

Cary Homes

problem involved complex issues of Rule 11 sanctions in a RICO action. "The whole law school is proud for them, and forCampbell," Buzzard declared. 'Their high finish reflects both Campbell's in­tense commitment to equip students for the practice of law, and the hard work of eager students."

The high finish caps off a 1989 -1990 academic year that saw Campbell moot court and trial teams establish an impressive regional and national record. Earlier, first year students on the Client Counseling Team had taken first place in the regional competition and went on to place fifth in the nation. Campbell's trial advocacy team had also taken first place in their regional competition.

Church - State Resource Center Publishes new Monographs

'The Protection of Religious Liberty in International Law," and "IRS Political Activity Restrictions on Churches and Charitable Ministries" are the topics of two new publications from the Law School's Church - State Resource Center.

The "Political Activities" monograph provides a detailed overview of the restrictions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on political activities of any charitable organization, including churches. These restrictions coverthe regulations limiting such entities to "insubstantial" lobbying, and an absolute restriction of "participating" in most elections. Because of increased church and charitable organization activity on political issues, and pressureson IRS to tighten enforcement, it has become increasingly important to understand the impact of the rules. The 86 page monograph was prepared by the Director of the Church-State Resource Center, Professor Lynn R. Buzzard.

The "Protection of Religious Liberty in International Law" nx^nograph is a thorough collation of the provisions in international treaties and declarations dealing with religious liberty. It provides an overview of U.N. related materials as well as regional and bilateral agreements. Included in the scope is the relatively recent adoption by the U.N. of the "Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief." The monograph was prepared by Professor Lynn R. Buzzard and 1990 Campbell law graduate David J. Thelen.

These monographs as well as two earlier publications, "Baptist Church Incorporation in North Carolina," and "A Time to Speak and a Time to be Silent: Clergy Confidentiality and the Law," are available from the Center for $10 each. The Center also publishes the nationally distributed, "Religious Freedom Reporter," a monthly publication addressing issues of religious liberty.

- Dean's Corner -Patrick K. Hetrick

Well, we've kicked in another academic year with the arrival of an outstanding group of first year law students, the Class of 1993! While I haven't had a mid-life crisis yet unless a 1987 Thunderbird with blackwalls counts as evidence of one, it does disturb me just a little that many members of this class were born after I graduated form law school. There is that inevitable generation gap. After all, I can remember cars without cruise control. My parents forced me to walk one block downhill to my elementary school. Talk about the hard times of the good old days!

There is something refreshing about the academic world and the exciting new beginning that takes place each fall semester. The new group of law students will face increased competition for placement and the pressures of a profession that is rapidly catching up with the technological opportunities brought about by the computer. The electronic revolution and information explosion that we have witnessed during the past fifteen years will beget equally revolutionary changes and hopefully advances in the legal profession and our system of justice. With a small computer and modem, I now have more information at my disposal while enjoying a cabin in the mountains or a cottage at the beach than my law professors had less than a generation ago in the entire university law library. We intend to prepare the Class of 1993 to practice law in the 21st Century. Besides the obvious need to master law and the latest technology, there is a need for this fresh crop to be regularly exposed to professional responsibility and our vision of the lawyer as a servant to others and community leader.

I'm optimistic. If I could do it all over again, I'd go to law school. The J. D. degree has no match when it comes to its versatility, challenge and potential to contribute to society. Stop in and meet the latest group of law students (in property law, I prefer the term "victims") When you are in the vicinity of the Creek. You'll be pleased with what you see.

Campbell Lawyers Provide Exemplary Pro Bono Services

Three of the 17 nominees for the North Carolina Bar Association 1990 Pro Bono Service Award were Campbell Lawyers: Philip Ray Feagan ('80) from Columbus; James M. Spiro ('81) from Sylva; and Dewitt Woodruff Daniell ('87) from Asheville.

The award was established in 1984 to honor individual lawyers who donated time and energy to solving the legal needs of economically disadvantaged citizens. The presentation of the awards took place during the opening banquet of the North Carolina Bar Association Annual Meeting in Myrtle Beach on June 21,1990.

James M. SpIro (*81) said of the Pro Bono Services:

"Our duty as a traditional and ancient profession, as opposed to simply a business, includes an obligation to serve our community and our society as a whole. In this we differ markedly from other entrepreneurs. We as lawyers have been truly blessed to be given great advantages in life - a superior education, a noble and learned profession, and the ability to actively promote, encourage, and indeed change our society. But, with all authority comes a corresponding responsibility. Pro Bono assistance to the truly needy and less fortunate Is the very least we can do to fulfill that responsibility."

Alumni Respond To June Newsletter The last newsletter, dedicated to Beverly Massey, was well received by alumni and friends of Campbell University and

many expressed gratitude for the dedication. There has been an overwhelming response to Beverly's death and the Law School has been blessed with donations to

the building fund in her memory. We have received requests for a "building fund update" which is included in this issue. Dean Hetrick received a letter from Mary M. Wills (*88) which expressed the following about Beverly Massey;

...She truly loved her work, and was inspired to commit all of her considerable talents to help advance the school and the many students who crossed her path. I feel fortunate indeed to have been one of those students ...She was also many things to me -- first a teacher (I survived three of her courses), then a collaborator (we worked together on several Law Review and CLE publications), and throughout it all an advisor, confidante, and friend. She accomplished the amazing task of pushing me to my limits academically and somehow making me enjoy it. In fact, sometime during my second year at Campbell, several of my friends and classmates began to refer to me as a "Massey-chist."

...I am grateful forthe wonderful education I received at Campbell, and forthe guidance and friendship I received from so many of the faculty and staff. But even more so, I am truly thankful that I had the opportunity of knowing Beverly Massey and of being involved in her life and work. She was an inspiration to me personally and a role model for so many others. She was most of all a friend, and I'll miss her.

We also heard from Lawrence Mazer ('83) who wrote a response to the article on Beverly: I would like to commend you on the preparation of the most recent Campbell Lawyer. As a student and friend of Professor

Massey, I found the tribute to be warm and personal and I know it will aid all of us in dealing with the grief of her untimely death.

In response to the article in Law School Briefs which announced our Trial Team as Regional Champs, Larry Mazer also wrote:

...Campbell's first Regional Championship in this competition occurred in 1983 when the team of Sandra Pugh, Tom Douglas and myself won the regional championship in Chapel Hill.
