After being introduced through a mutual friend on the moot court team in the fall of 1988 at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, Marc Chapman (JD 89) and Tracy Duda Chapman (JD 90), became friends right away.

But it wasn’t until they worked at the same law firm in Orlando that they started dating.

“They didn’t have policy against it,” Tracy said of their relationship at the firm. “But we both were concerned over whether or not that was a smart thing to do.”

Fast-forward to 2013. The Chapmans now have two daughters, aged 12 and 15, and have been married for 19 years.

Tracy is the senior vice president and general counsel of A. Duda & Sons, Inc., a diversified land company with operating divisions and subsidiary companies in agriculture, real estate development and related businesses. She is also the CEO of The Viera Company, a subsidiary of DUDA that manages the commercial and residential development of DUDA’s non-agricultural property in Florida, and is the master developer of the master-planned town of Viera in Brevard County, Fla.

In February, Marc was elected president of Dean Mead, a full service business law firm based in Orlando with three other offices around the state (Ft. Pierce, Viera and Gainesville) and nearly 50 attorneys. He practices in the area of commercial litigation, including banking, construction, real estate, commercial landlord/tenant and probate litigation, as well as creditors’ rights and non-compete/trade secret enforcement.

As a couple of Gator grads with diverse paths in law, Marc and Tracy said passion for a chosen field is recipe for success.

“You have to enjoy and like what you do,” Tracy said. “If you choose a field that you’re interested in, it makes going to work a lot better.”

While Tracy is passionate about agriculture law, working for her family’s company makes her strive even harder for success.

“I have stock in the company. My daughters have stock in the company. So I have a vested interest in its success,” she said. “You feel like you’re continuing the legacy of passing on the business to future generations.”

Tracy also recommends that students continuously seek knowledge outside of their chosen career path as a means of broadening their horizons and as preparation to take on unexpected jobs.

Marc adds that students interested in commercial litigation should take a number of business classes.

“In addition to the litigation issues, you’re going to advise clients on some type of corporate, tax or other business issue impacted by the litigation in most cases,” he said. “You need to at least recognize the business issues so you can refer your client to the appropriate advisor.”

He also gives a simple but crucial piece of advice to law students and recent graduates: Be a good listener. It is the only way to really figure out what a client wants and actually needs, he says.

Marc and Tracy say they have been fortunate for the ability to participate in many philanthropic events. Together they’ve donated to the St. Luke’s Lutheran Church and School, the HOPE Foundation and UF Law, among many others.

They enjoy traveling and taking their daughters to the Keys every summer, which presents Marc a perfect place to enjoy his hobby of fishing and Tracy a lush landscape as family photographer.

They are also huge football fans. Marc, a seven-year Gator, is a Champions Club season ticket holder, and Tracy spends many football weekends at the University of Alabama, her undergraduate alma mater.

“We don’t see each other much on football weekends,” Marc said. “And when the Gators play Alabama, we sit on opposite sides of the stadium.”

The course schedules for the upcoming academic year (Summer 2013, Fall 2013, and Spring 2014) have been released and are posted on the Student Affairs website: http://www.law.ufl.edu/student-affairs/current-students/course-schedules. There is very important information you should be aware of concerning distance education courses prior to registering for classes. Based upon ABA Standard 306(d), governing distance education in U.S. Law Schools, no student may obtain more than four credit hours of distance education(online/asynchronous) courses in the same term, and no student may receive more than a total of 12 credit hours of academic credit for distance education(online/asynchronous) courses to count toward the J.D. degree. Furthermore, since students are permitted, with prior approval, to complete up to six credit hours of graduate level courses to count toward law school graduation requirements, and since some students complete distance education courses through the Graduate School, the four credit hours and 12 credit hours limitations apply to these courses, as well. Thus, if a student is registered for an online graduate level course, this reduces the number of hours permitted for other distance education(online/asynchronous) courses either through the Graduate School and/or through the law school.

This information is particularly important for the Summer 2013 term, as there are currently 6 asynchronous (distance education) courses on the law school’s summer schedule of courses. Out of these six courses, one is a one credit hour course and the other courses are two credit hours. Therefore, you will only be able to register for up to two of these asynchronous courses during the summer term. Please review the schedule of courses carefully and plan your schedules accordingly. As you register for classes, you will be reminded of this requirement in ISIS when/if you register for any law distance education(asynchronous/online) course. If you attempt to register for a distance education(asynchronous/online) course, the following message will pop up to remind you of this rule:

“Per ABA Standard 306D, a law student may not register for more than four credits of asynchronous online courses in one term.”

If it is determined that you have registered for more than four credits of asynchronous (distance education/online) courses in any term (e.g., this summer), you will be notified to drop a course or courses. If this is not done, you will then be administratively dropped from the course or courses until you are in compliance with the ABA Standard 306(d).

If there should be any questions or concerns about any of this information, please feel free to contact Assistant Dean of Students, Kari Mattox, at mattoxk@law.ufl.edu, or stop by the Office of Student Affairs.

Matthew Goodwin (2L) and Will Anderson (3L) competed in the Florida/Georgia moot court competition Oct. 26 with the help of their student coach, Bob O’Linn (3L), center.

By Felicia Holloman (3L)

The UF Law Moot Court team had a busy October, sending competitors to three competitions around the state.

Joey Posey (2L) and Alfredo Ferrer (2L) competed at the Puerto Rican Bar Association Moot Court competition in St. Augustine, where they won the award for best brief and were less than a point away from winning the competition.

Posey and Ferrer argued constitutional issues regarding the voting rights of citizens in United States territories and whether a democratic style of government must be provided to the territories.

“Puerto Ricans are United States citizens with no representative in Congress and no voice in the presidential election,” explained Posey.

While the future rights of citizens in U.S. territories will continue to be debated, both competitors agreed that the competition was a success.

“It was great to see the city of St. Augustine, and to meet so many passionate and dedicated persons to the Puerto Rican cause,” Ferrer said.

Posey believes the competition has a potential impact.

“The Puerto Rican Bar Association Moot Court Competition had the modest goal of starting a national dialogue over voting rights for residents of Puerto Rico,” he said. “Their goal was achieved, and the seeds of change were planted.”

Meanwhile, Chelsey Clements (2L), Kevin Stone (2L), Danielle Tamir (2L), and Kristina Gandre (2L) competed at the Thomas Tang Moot Court competition regional qualifier in Jacksonville. Both teams wrote briefs and argued on the issue of bringing suit in the U.S. against individuals or corporations violating international law.

“I learned a lot at this competition about how moot court works in general. I am looking forward to taking this new knowledge with me to future competitions and sharing it with the rest of the moot court team,” Clements said.

The Hulsey-Gambrell Florida Georgia Moot Court Cup was the final competition of the month. Matthew Goodwin (2L) and Will Anderson (3L) argued against a University of Georgia moot court team before five judges in Jacksonville a day before the football teams kicked off.

Although the team came up short, Judge Tjoflat joked, “If the court issued an opinion on this case, there would have been a heated and passionate dissent in favor of the Gators.”

Florida Law Review tutoring program helps 1L students
This week the Florida Law Review concluded its year-long tutoring program for first-year law students. The program began in 2002 as a way to give back to the law school and to assist 1Ls with their first-year courses. Florida Law Review members contribute more than 148 hours per semester toward tutoring sessions, and more than 370 first-year students enrolled for tutoring during the 2008-2009 school year. The tutoring program provides first-year students with the opportunity to ask questions in a less-formal environment, often from students who were taught by the same professors. First-year students rave about how much the extra tutoring helps them with their classes. “The Florida Law Review tutoring program is the pinnacle of peer tutoring,” said first-year student, Greg Kwok. “The guidance and instruction the tutors provided allowed for a more thorough examination and understanding of the course material, given that it comes from students and not professors. It is a tremendous opportunity for the 1L class to work with some of the Law Review students in a very informal and relaxed atmosphere.” “The Florida Law Review tutoring sessions are an invaluable resource for first year law students,” said first-year student, Margo Lyon. “After attending the Law Review tutoring sessions, I felt much more confident and at ease going into my exams.”

Earn pro bono hours with VITA program

The Volunteer Income Taxpayer Assistance program begins this semester and is a great way to earn pro bono hours toward your pro bono certificate. Volunteers in VITA prepare tax returns for low and middle income taxpayers in Gainesville. Many UF students also use VITA as well. Once a tax return is prepared, an experienced coordinator will review the return. You also obtain first-hand experience interacting with taxpayers and learning more about our tax system. No prior tax experience or knowledge is required. The training materials will provide you with the basic information you will need to prepare tax returns. There are two basic tests that must be passed by the end of January before you can volunteer for VITA. You only have to volunteer one day a week (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.) during the spring semester, excluding spring break. For more information contact Christopher Pavilonis at cpav2@ufl.edu.

Moot Court Board wins in Atlanta

Justice Campbell Thornal Moot Court Board members Andrew Hoffman, Michael Friedman, Lorna Cobb and coach Meghann Wolfe won the Best Brief award at the Region Five National Moot Court Competition held in Atlanta, Ga. on Nov. 21-22, 2008. The team also advanced to the semi-final round, surpassing six other teams. Mercer University School of Law defeated Florida by a narrow margin, and later finished as the Region Five champion. Andrew, Michael, and Lorna argued the constitutionality of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act and as a separate issue, whether the Individuals with Disabilities Act requires a student to enroll in public school before becoming eligible for private school tuition reimbursement. The team received valuable assistance from professors Little, Fenster and Pflaum. The Justice Campbell Thornal Moot Court Board represents UF Law in numerous state and national appellate advocacy competitions throughout the year. The Board was founded in 1961, and was named after the prominent Florida Supreme Court chief justice. The board’s mission is to promote excellence in appellate advocacy. Comprised of students from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, the board has received numerous state and national awards. New members are selected each year from all third semester students who try out for the team. (Photo: Lorna Cobb and Michael Friedman. Not pictured: Andrew Hoffman)

Students form Faculty Recruitment Committee

In fall 2008, the Faculty Recruitment Committee was formed with the help of the Office of Student Affairs. The committee is led by founder David Kerner (2L) and Kali Feinman (2L) and consists of 16 diverse members of the law school community, ranging from 1Ls to members of the LL.M. tax program. The committee, which works under the Faculty Appointments Committee, was designed to interact with professorial candidates who were invited to interview for a tenure track faculty position. “It is the FRC’s hope to put the student body’s best foot forward during this important function and to let the candidate know that our student body is involved and invested in the affairs of the law college,” said Kerner. “We believe that student body input is vital to the faculty recruitment process, and with the help of the members of the committee, I know we were able to fulfill the committee’s mission of doing just that.” Kerner also noted that the success of the committee would be impossible without the encouragement and assistance of the faculty, and in particular, Professor Hernandez and Professor Wright, who head the faculty hiring process. The current student members of the Faculty Recruitment Committee are: Andrew Comiter (LL.M.), Jenny Perkins (3L), Charles King (3L), Jonathan Blocker (3L), Clay Carlton (2L), Kali Feinman (2L), David Kerner (2L), Stephen Liverpool (2L), Gaston Fontela (2L), Darren Heitner (2L), Rebecaa Sable (2L), Ashley Beaman (2L), Jennifer Hartzler (2L), Harlan McGuire (2L), Wayne Atkinson (2L), Sara Casey (1L) and Kyla Tan (1L).
