Then And Now: A Bit Of Autobiography And An Argument, Vernon X. Miller
Cleveland State Law Review
I am old enough to give my younger colleagues (and a few of my contemporaries) some advice. Study the 1920's. They were a law teachers' decade.

Most of the criticism of evening law schools seems to emanate from day school people.

Cleveland State Law Review
The law school should strive to educate the lawyer and nonlawyer not only on law but also on society. In this enterprise, there will be no boredom. Law, viewed as an interplay of history, logic, and sociology, is second to none as an exciting and liberal subject.
