What is it about the television business that attracts lawyers?
Maybe it's the chance to mug for the camera. Or the opportunity
to open a window on the world. Or the promise of big money. Or maybe,
just maybe, it's the grand lure of show business, with its deals,
celebrity, and buzz. Whatever it is, legal training imparts cool
analytical abilities that work well in a hot medium, as the six
alumni whose profiles follow have discovered.

Made
for TV
BY
LARRY TEITELBAUM, ROBERT STRAUSS AND SALLY FRIEDMAN
Turn on the TV today and there’s a mind-boggling array
of choices on a growing number of channels. Sounds like the
legal profession. Today, a legal degree opens the door to
manifold opportunities. One such opportunity is television,
home to a surprising number of attorneys, including Penn Law
alums Henry Schleiff, Mark Haines, Renee Chenault-Fattah,
Henry Hoberman, and Matthew Apfel. Television’s hurly-burly
immediacy steered them away from traditional law practice,
providing a perfect forum to channel their skills. |

BY
JENNIFER BALDINO BONETT
You conquered law school and aced the bar exam. Now you wonder what to do next. May we suggest clerking? Penn Law
has been quietly ramping up its effort to place more students and alumni in positions with state and federal judges.
Those who take the school up on that offer report that the benefits of clerking are priceless, and definitely worth
the investment in time.

In
Career-Defining Case, Adelman Put Hinckley away
BY ROBERT PACK
Roger Adelman never sought the limelight. It found him. After
nailing a congressman in the Abscam probe, this straight-talking
prosecutor was assigned to bring to justice John Hinckley.
That assignment brought him face-to- face with President Reagan
and his inner ring of advisors. Oh, what tales he could tell,
if only Adelman weren’t so upright, professional and
discreet. Come to think of it, that’s what makes him
a trusted Washington counselor today — he’s never
bigger than the case. |
At
Reunion, Sadler Flashes Back 40 Years
BY
LARRY TEITELBAUM
Even Rip Van Winkle may not have recognized his neighbors
after 40 years. But Blair Sadler managed quite well to put
a name to the face when he returned to Reunion in May. He
had a blast with former classmates. No longer does he have
to wonder: Where are they now? |

RESPONSE
TO KATRINA |
|
IN
LIGHT OF
the catastrophic damage caused by Hurrican Katrina, the
Law School has temporarily adopted 13 area students who
attend Tulane Law School. The students are at Penn Law as
visiting guests for the fall semester in the hope that they
can return to their home institutions in the spring without
disruption of their legal education.
These students will continue to pay tuition and fees
to their home schools and will not be asked to pay
tuition to Penn Law. Also, the Law School is allowing
faculty and staff interested in serving as volunteers
in the affected region to take up to three weeks of
paid leave. Finally, student groups have formed a
committee, in conjunction with the Law School, to
organize fund-raising efforts. |
