A Note on Our Name and Logo Our alumni magazine is called The Bridge for a few reasons. Its goal is to serve as a bridge that connects alumni, faculty, students, and administrators. The name is also directly linked with the bridge in the law school’s logo, which celebrates our Boston home and the school’s innovators, and recalls the spirit of graduate Leonard P. Zakim ’78, for whom the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge in Boston is named. With a legacy of more than a century, we also honor our past and maintain a bridge to our history as Portia Law.

Dean John F. O’Brien ’77 < A Conversation with the Dean The Bridge: Since you joined the New England Law | Boston faculty in 1985, our nation’s laws and industries have changed in dramatic ways. How does New England Law continue to adapt to address changes in the professional landscape? Dean O’Brien: Adapting our offerings to suit the needs of today’s law students is an ongoing process. We have a faculty committee charged with staying current with our curriculum; they review dozens of programs and components each year to ensure we’re doing everything we can to provide our students with opportunities that prepare them for success after graduation. Some of our recent flagship programs were developed as part of this process. For example, the concentrations we offer in intellectual property law and immigration law grew out of our recognition of growing industry trends. Another key way we adapt to the needs of our students is through the Pathways to the Profession of Law program, which helps students align their education with the careers that interest them. One of the most recent pathways we developed is in Elder Law, in response to the growing number of Americans aged 65 and older. The growth of this segment of the population has been one of the most significant demographic trends in the history of the nation. As baby boomers retire, they are facing a wide range of new legal issues, and the reality is that many people wait until they’re older to get their affairs in order, whether it’s estate planning, elder care, managing health issues, etc. 2  The Bridge

He was named the sixteenth director of the Secret Service under President Ronald Reagan, his thirty years with the agency spanning seven presidential administrations, and he concurrently served as the first American president of the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) in the mid-1980s. Despite the stature and success Mr. Simpson achieved in Washington, he never forgot his roots, and his connection to the New England Law community was a source of great pride throughout his life. He is warmly remembered for his humility, strong work ethic, and longstanding support and service to the school. “John was a humble man,” Dean John O’Brien recalls. “He worked hard to rise up through the ranks, eventually serving at the right hand of the most powerful office in the world.

Christopher Swartz ’11 From Boston to Washington, D.C. How One New England Law Alum is Helping to Shape the Ethical Foundation of the United States Christopher Swartz To Swartz, OGE provided an opportunity to quietly perform a valuable joined the federal public service: Ensuring the integrity of government decisions by seeing to it that executive-branch appointees and nominees follow the ethical Office of Government rules governing conflicts of interest. Swartz had spent the summers Ethics in 2011. after his first and second years of law school as a law clerk at OGE and, as he recalls, “That’s what really stoked the idea of working for the government in the public interest.” So when he had an opportunity to join the agency as an assistant counsel after getting his JD from New England Law in 2011, he jumped at the chance. While he has many duties at OGE, Swartz explains, each is aimed at seeing to it that the overall health of the government ethics program is maintained. That responsibility includes making sure that appointees and nominees are informed about ethical requirements and then conducting reviews and analyses of the financial disclosure reports that they are required to submit. In doing so, Swartz assists the agency in performing the job it is charged with doing: guiding individuals in how to comply with the rules—not conducting investigations or meting out penalties, which is the responsibility of agencies and the Department of Justice. continued on next page The Bridge  17

“What we do … is analyze [financial disclosure forms] for potential conflicts of interests under federal ethics laws,” he says, “and then we take steps to ensure that those potential conflicts are effectively mitigated before the individual comes into that position.” His strong sense of commitment is apparent when Swartz talks about his work at OGE and the agency’s work in striving to provide good government. In addition to his duties regarding the financial disclosure reports, Swartz also works on regulations that set up the compliance standards. “These really establish a uniform set of conduct expectations for employees throughout the executive branch—the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, every cabinet-level agency, regulatory agencies, and a slew of smaller entities.” Once the regulations are in place, Swartz says, To Swartz, this breadth of reach is what he finds OGE is responsible for making sure that executive- particularly enjoyable about his work. “It’s given me branch ethics offices have a uniform understanding the ability to work with pretty much every agency that of what they mean in practice.

“The idea that decisions should be made free of conflicts of interest, free of bias or prejudice, is not something that is a stand-alone concept. It applies every day to every individual who operates under the aegis of the United States government.” In addition to his broad job duties within OGE, Swartz is happy with his job and encourages current Swartz has had the opportunity to actually work law students with an interest in government service inside the White House during both the Obama and to look into working for ethics agencies—not only Trump administrations. Within OGE, staffers are at the federal level, but at the state and local levels assigned to be “desk officers” to serve as points of as well. “It’s a lot of fun,” he says. “It’s a type of law contact for specific agencies and offices.
