Eliza Schmidkunz, the assistant
director of communications at the
law school, said a public memori
al service will be held sometime
soon. Strickland described the up
coming service as a “celebration of
life.” He added that it will take
place at the law school and is ten
tatively planned for Sept. 5, al
though he and other faculty will
meet to set a final date this week.
Memorial contributions may be
made to the Holt International
Children’s Services or the YMCA.

Extraordinary
continued from pagelA
that still inspires much of his work
today began long before that, while
he was a child growing up in inner
city Portland.
He grew up in a poor family
supported by welfare, but even as
a student he knew that someday
he would be successful.
“I had a dream and a vision of
where I wanted to go,” he said.
“And I worked hard to get there.”
He founded the Timber Invest
ment Firm, a Portland-based com
pany that raises money from pen
sion firms to acquire forests for
long-term investments.
Since then, the company he
started has grown into a $2 billion
corporation.
And as a successful business
man, Campbell said he believes he
has an obligation to give back to
the community — especially chil
dren growing up in situations sim
ilar to his own childhood.
“If you’re fortunate to have re
sources, you’re called to share
them,” he said.
He has founded four organiza
tions serving children, including a
mentor program aimed at helping
children who are at most at risk in
society. Called Friends of the Chil
dren, the program is unique be
cause the mentors involved are
paid professionals who are paired
with children in the first grade and
stay with them through high
school, he said. By next year, the
program will serve nearly 500 chil
dren in nine cities nationwide.
The first children to participate
are now sophomores in high
school, and with nearly all of them
still in school, Campbell considers
the program a success. Knowing
that he has made a difference in
their lives gives him a sense of ful
fillment as well, he said.
“It’s a wonderful thing to help
these children,” he said. “It fills
part of your soul.”
Attorney Holly Smith also
works with people to share re
sources, but energy is the resource
she helps to distribute.
Smith, who graduated in 1999,
originally went to work for the
Washington, D.C., office of Davis
Wright Tremaine, which repre
sents, among other large corpora
tions, Starbucks and Rolling Stone
Magazine, as a telecommunica
tions lawyer.
But when concerns about an im
pending U.S. energy crisis began
heating up, the firm began adding
more lawyers to handle new ener
gy accounts. The firm represents
many independent power produc
ers in order to help them sell their
product on the wholesale market.
Smith, one of those asked to join
the group, said while the move
was unexpected, energy law is an
exciting field to be in, and an im
portant one because the work her
firm and others are doing allows
more power sources to be made
available to those who need them.
The field is also receiving na
tional attention. Last week, Smith’s
law firm was featured in a Wall
Street Journal article on the grow

ing energy law practice.
And while Smith hopes to return
to telecommunications law in the
future, she said her experience
shows the need for law school grad
uates to be ready for whatever direc
tion their career may take them.
“I never thought I’d be an energy
lawyer,” she said. ‘‘But now I am.”
Being transferred to another de
partment is one thing that Suga
hara doesn’t need to worry about.
As the co-founder of the computer
software company Counterclaim,
an electronic filing service for
courts and law firms, Sugahara is
his own boss.
Sugahara and classmate Shogun
Naidoo began the business in
1999, while Sugahara was still in
law school. And as with any new
business, he said, there were con
stant concerns over whether they
were going to make it.
“At first it’s always difficult, be
cause you’re wondering, ‘Am I go
ing to make money, am I going to
eat?”’ he said.
Even more than that, he said, he
worried that they might not have
the money to pay their employees.
But unlike other technology
firms, Sugahara said, Counter
claim has not been hurt by the
downturn in the economy because
the legal system is no less busy
than it was before.
And despite the risks, Sughara
said, he’s glad to be in a position
where he’s in charge of his future.
“There’s a lot of ups and
downs,” he said. “But the thing
about it is, you have control over
what you do.”
