handle is hein.journals/slro74 and id is 1 raw text is: ESSAY She Stood Up: The Life and Legacy of Deborah L. Rhode Nora Freeman Engstrom* The 1978-1979 Term was a busy one at the Supreme Court. That's the Term, civil procedure buffs might recall, where, in Parklane Hosiery Co. v. Shore, the Court introduced offensive non-mutual collateral estoppel-an inelegantly named device that has eased the burden of many a plaintiff.1 It yielded Dunaway v. New York, which helped to clarify what constitutes a seizure for purposes of the Fourth Amendment.2 And, it brought us Orr v. Orr, a decision that struck down an Alabama law that required only husbands to pay alimony because, said the Court: No longer is the female destined solely for the home and the rearing of the family, and only the male for the marketplace and the world of ideas.3 Something else stands out about the 1978-1979 Supreme Court Term: the annual clerk photo. A tradition for Supreme Court law clerks, that portrait displays an impressive number of esteemed individuals. Luminaries include USC's Susan Estrich, the first female President of the Harvard Law Review and the first female manager of a major presidential campaign (the ill-fated Dukakis-Bentsen run of 1988); Robert Post, the 16th Dean of Yale Law School; Stanford's own Hank Greely, a prolific and pioneering scholar of bioethics; and Merrick Garland, longtime D.C. Circuit judge, onetime Supreme Court nominee, and now United States Attorney General.4 * Ernest W.
