A cover profile spotlights Mohamed ElBaradei, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, sharing his views on containing the nuclear threat and the need for peaceful solutions. The issue also features campus updates, faculty and student accomplishments, and excerpts of recent scholarship.","The  \nLaw School  \nthe magazine of the new york university school of law  \nautumn 2006  \nin this issue  \ncivil Procedure rules:  \na highly regarded cadre of  \nnyu faculty show students how to make the right legal moves.  \nmass appeal:  \ntop legal minds consider  \nthe pros and cons of class actions.  \nThe  \nDisarming Diplomat  \nin a rare interview, nobel Prize-winner mohamed elBaradei (ll.m. ’71, J.s.D. ’74, ll.D. ’04) talks about his firm belief that “people need to sit together and find a solution” when it comes to containing the nuclear threat.  \nCover: Joe Raedle/Getty Images  \nMessage from Dean Revesz  \nM  \nany of you will remember struggling in your first year over Pennoyer v. Neff and Erie v. Tompkins. So you also know that civil procedure is the point where theory meets practice, where conceptual brilliance and sensible street smarts are equally necessary.  \nIn “The Rules of the Game,” on page 24, wetrace  \nthe formation of a truly outstanding team of men and women who influence the administration of law in this country through their own remarkable scholarship, but never lose enthusiasm for initiating lawyers into the ways of their profession. While most of them don’t go so far as Professor Burt Neuborne—who burns his notes each year so that he can approach the classroom with afresh take each fall—every one ofour civ pro professors admits to being somewhat addicted to teaching this important subject. As regular readers know, since I became dean, each issue of The Law School has featured an academic area in which the NYU School of Law has excelled: International Law (2002), Environmental Law (2003), Criminal Law (2004), Law and Philosophy (2005) and now, Civil Procedure (2006) . I’m confident that, in each of these areas, an objective panel would agree we have the strongest faculty among the leading law schools.  \nA related story, “Heads of the Class,” on page 36, showcases an edited discussion of a much-maligned tactic, the  \nclass-action lawsuit. We invited eminent alumni who often represent clients in mass tort cases to join our faculty experts for a sometimes heated, always nuanced and often amusing conversation about the whys and wherefores of this legal instrument. I am grateful to all of the featured faculty and the esteemed graduates who lent their expertise and gave generously of their time to make both civil procedure stories come together. Visiting Professor Arthur Miller, who moderated the roundtable with  \naplomb, deserves a special note  \nof appreciation.  \nIt’s impossible to imagine a more timely and engaging choice for our cover profile than alumnus Mohamed ElBaradei (LL.M.’71, J.S.D.’74, LL.D.’04), who won the 2005 Nobel  \nPeace Prize in December. The director general of  \nthe Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, a multilateral organization charged with the formidable task of forestalling nuclear weapons proliferation, consented to a rare interview in the midst of a particularly difficult period—as tensions over Iran’s nuclear activities continued to mount. “What Price, Peace?,” on page 12, provides a chance to get to know ElBaradei, who tells writer Daniel Benjamin, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, that while his role is technical in nature, he has to “look at the big picture.” He adds,“I feel I owe it to the member states to tell them how I see things from where I sit. I have to do verification, but I also have to see how the international community can use this for a peaceful resolution.” Benjamin came away from his interviews with and about ElBaradei enormously impressed with the man. “He’s an international civil servant in the best sense,” says Benjamin, who traveled to Vienna to meet with his subject.“ElBaradei isn’t afraid todo what he thinks is right—and he’s got a very tough job.”  \nAs you make your way through the rest ofthis issue, you’ll also get to know the seven faculty members who joined us this year; their profiles begin on page 52.
