Dedication To William O. Douglas, William J. Brennan, Jr.

Washington Law Review

Short remarks on the passing of Justice William O. Douglas.

Prefatory Remark, Dorothy W. Nelson

Cleveland State Law Review

There are three prime roles the trial judge should play in clinical legal education: (1) to become involved with the education of the students, (2) to engage with students in a vigorous examination of the judicial process, and (3) to examine critically the educational process in the law schools and its relationship to the courts.
