Remarkable.
That is the only way to
describe the impact Robert Carroll Stubbs had on
the law. For decades, he worked tirelessly to
develop and advance the law of
condemnation.
Equally
remarkable was the impact Bob and his wife, Mary
Ann, had on their friends and their community.
They pushed Southern Arizona forward with their
commitment to countless public service initiatives
and their philanthropic contributions to education
and the arts.
Tucson
is a better place because of Bob and Mary Ann.
After
Bob's passing, Mary Ann sought a way to celebrate
Bob's impact and enthusiasm for the law. She
wanted to empower students to become the best
professionals they could be, and to promote their
commitment to his ideals of professional
integrity, community service, justice, and public
leadership for generations to come.
With
Mary Ann's leadership, generosity, and personal
commitment, Arizona Law is pleased to announce the
unveiling of the Robert Carroll Stubbs Career
Development Suite.
This
week we feature the legacy of Bob Stubbs,
introduce the first Mary Ann Stubbs Fellow, Tony
Caldwell, and share some photos from our ribbon
cutting and unveiling ceremony.

the footnotes,

Bob
Stubbs made a difference. He was known throughout
the state of Arizona as a prominent lawyer with a
deep commitment to his community, and across the
country as an expert in eminent domain
law.
He
was a triple Wildcat, earning his BA in political
science, a master's degree in economics, and his
JD. He graduated at the top of his law school
class and served as Editor-in-Chief of the
Arizona Law Review.
He
earned the top score on the Arizona Bar Exam and
was admitted to the Bar in 1953. Bob then worked
in the offices of the Arizona Attorney General and
the Pima County Attorney. He entered private
practice in 1956 and was an associate and partner
in several prominent Tucson law firms. Bob
ultimately formed his own firm, now known as Stubbs
& Schubart, PC, which has been recognized
as among the nation's highest rated eminent domain
law firms.
Bob
was known for his infectious smile, his boisterous
laugh, and his tireless representation of his
clients. He was a prolific litigator, handling
both trial and appellate cases, many of which were
heard by the Arizona Supreme Court and shaped the
law of eminent domain in Arizona.
Bob's
impact on Arizona law is reflected by the fact
that the legal publication "Eminent Domain in
Arizona" is dedicated to him and refers to Bob as
"Mr. Condemnation in Arizona." The dedication
accurately observes that he gave:
"...
the Arizona and national legal community decades
of service as a lecturer, teacher, trial lawyer,
and innovator in the field of condemnation. His
legal skills are surpassed only by his proven
dedication to family, community, to the profession
and to friends. He stands as a reminder of the
work ethic, decency and intellectual rigor we all
hope to achieve in the practice of law."

Mary
Ann Stubbs Fellow: Tony
Caldwell |
|
In
honor of Mary Ann Stubbs and her generosity to the
Career Development Office (CDO) in honor of Bob
Stubbs, the college established the Mary Ann
Stubbs Fellowship to support a deserving second-
or third-year student who displays excellence in
the pursuit of career development goals. The Mary
Ann Stubbs Fellow will receive a $1,000 stipend,
and will be responsible for promoting the CDO and
its resources within the student body.
The
2014-2015 Mary Ann Stubbs Fellow is Tony
Caldwell.
Tony
is originally from Southeast Iowa, and is a
diehard Hawkeye fan.
He graduated with a degree in biology
from Wabash College in 2007, where he was an
All-American swimmer. After his undergraduate
studies, he discovered his talents in
pharmaceutical sales, and success in that
field sent him all over the southwestern
United States.

Ann |
In
2011, he relocated to Denver and continued his
work while going to law school
part time at the University of Denver. In
2013, he transferred to Arizona Law to take
advantage of our intellectual property and
health law programs.
Tony
is an active member of the law school and
university communities. He devotes a
significant amount of time to Tech
Launch Arizona, where he is a Student Fellow
for the Colleges of Medicine and Science. He
also serves as a student research assistant
for Professor Chris
Robertson, and is a member of the Arizona
Intellectual Property and Cyberlaw Society, the
Students of Arizona Health Law Organization, and
the Morris K. Udall American Inn of Court.
Tony
is pursuing not just one certificate program, but
three: the Health Law Certificate (new this year),
the International Trade and Business Law
Certificate, and the Transactional Business
Certificate (also new this year). He put all
of this passion and range of knowledge to work
over the summer as an intern drafting patents for
Japan Communications, Inc., a global wireless
telecommunications and cybersecurity provider.
When
asked about his long-term goals, Tony
responded:
"I enjoy
all areas of health law, and I think that my
background has given me a great perspective on
this area of the law, which I believe will
only continue to gain in complexity
as the country wrestles with health care
reform. I want to launch my career in
the area of health care technology
commercialization and licensing. My long-term goal
is to work with scientists, physicians,
and entrepreneurs in the biotechnology
area, specifically focusing on health care
information technology, medical devices, and
wearable technologies."
Tony
was married this past summer in Denver -
and is proud to say that there were
23 lawyers at the wedding! He and his
wife, an attorney in Denver, enjoy road trips,
camping, running, visiting breweries, and -- of
course -- talking about the law.

LinkedIn.

Us - "The Mind & the Law" Lecture
Series: Blinding
as a Solution to Bias
Wednesday,
November 5, 2014
7
pm
Ares
Auditorium (Room 164)
Professor Chris
Robertson explores the use of blinding in
scientific inquiry. Blinding has become a
routine part of biomedical science, helping to
reduce bias by patients, physicians, raters, and
even statisticians. Symphonies now conduct
blind auditions to avoid gender biases. In
recent years, the police have even begun to use
blinding to prevent biases in eyewitness
identification, and there are now calls for
fingerprint examiners and other forensic
scientists to use blinding as well. Are there
other novel applications of blinding in
prosecutor's decisions, campaign finance,
appellate litigation, and administrative
process? And what are the risks of
blinding?
No RSVP required.
Future dates in the series: November 19,
and December 3.

Thomas A. Zlaket ('65),
former Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme
Court,
administering the oath to the
July Bar
admittees. |
With
the unveiling of the spectacular Robert Carroll
Stubbs Career Development Suite, the ongoing and
wildly successful Mind & the Law Lecture
Series, and last Friday's Celebration of Admission
to Practice for July Bar takers, this time of year
finds weeks full of classes, work and events,
small and large,
Students
in their first year have bonded, are working hard,
and look forward (with perhaps a little
understandable trepidation) to their
exams. Students in their second year know
what is required to succeed, but also are engaged
in new kinds of work on journals, in moot court,
in clinics and externships. JDs in their third
year are in the midst of their transition to
practice, including about a third of the class who
have told us they plan to take advantage of the
February bar.
We
all look forward to a few big events yet before
the end of the term -- Homecoming, visits by
distinguished alumni, more talks in the Mind &
the Law series...Halloween and
Thanksgiving.
As
always, we are delighted when you can join us,
Warmly,
Marc L. Miller
