Universities, Law Schools, Communities: Learning Or Service Or Learning And Service?, Henry Mcgee

Faculty Articles

This article addresses the roles of universities and law schools and their changing roles in society. While many universities and law schools are assuming leadership roles in national and even global communities, the new challenge is their responsibility to the communities they reside in.

Legal Education: Confronting Reality And Too Many Siblings, Ralph Slovenko

Cleveland State Law Review

What do we-all of us-want out of legal education? Why is there so much concern and dissatisfaction with regard to the third, and to some extent, the second year of the curriculum? Questions most often raised are: What does one want or expect of legal education?; why is there so much dissatisfaction?; what really is the problem, and what can be done about it?

The Law Library In A New Law School, Marian G. Gallagher

Articles

Law school faculty members have a reputation for paying attention to their libraries. They achieved that collective reputation long ago through insistence on autonomous library administration by their own kind, and they have nurtured it by exhibiting greater dependence on libraries than the members of any other discipline. Expressions of their concern and involvement are recorded repeatedly in annual reports, budget justifications, fund-raising brochures, and the proceedings of ceremonial cornerstone layings. Some have gone far beyond expressions of concern, demonstrating compulsion to devote more time to the functioning of their law libraries than has seemed necessary or interesting to the …

Professionalism And Student Protest, Paul D. Carrington

Faculty Scholarship

The attributes of professionalism, which are the hallmark of the lawyer's calling, can be used to help institutions and the public understand and effectively deal with student protest and disorder. An unruffled, low keyed reaction is needed in most cases with the law's processes reserved for occasions that cannot be handled as intramural clashes.

A Dean's-Eye View Of Thomas F. Green, Jr., Lindsey Cowen

Georgia Law Review

MY first contact with Tom Green occurred six years ago when I was in Athens being interviewed as a prospective dean. I walked into his office and found him behind a desk piled high with books, folders, papers and miscellaneous materials necessary for legal scholarship. Tom's office was filled from floor almost to ceiling, in every available space, with other books and pamphlets. I was aware, of course, of Tom Green's reputation for superior scholarship. Regretfully I must admit that I immediately classified him as an "ivory tower" professor interested primarily in research and publication. My error in so assessing …

Notre Dame Law School--The Future, William Burns Lawless

Journal Articles

Dean William Lawless of the University of Notre Dame Law School summarizes the future for the Law School in this article. Dean Lawless states that it will be Christian in tone, it will stress moral values, it will be highly competitive, it will supply the profession with highly skilled lawyers, legislators, legal scholars, public defenders, and judges; in a word, it will train men and women who really care about the shape and structure of this country. The famous Notre Dame will-to-win will stir in the minds of its magnificent alumni practicing at the bar.

Training The Trial Lawyer, William Burns Lawless

Journal Articles

Speaking at the dedication of the Stanford Law School in 1950, Mr. Justice Robert Jackson observed that "the unsolved problem of legal education is how to equip the law student for work at the bar of the court. . . ." He told his audience that the greatest opportunity for improvement in the legal profession, and where it is now most vulnerable on the score of performance, is its work in the trial courtroom. "It seems to me, that while the scholarship of the bar has been improving, the art of advocacy has been declining."

Professor Elliott E. Cheatham, John J.A. Hossenlopp, William B. Reynolds

Vanderbilt Law Review

Professor Cheatham taught far more than legal rules. By imparting to his students a sense of his commitment to achieving excellence through self-education, he indeed prepared them well. Of course, the ideas and insights which he afforded them will continue to guide all students of the law. To those who follow to the classroom he now leaves behind, we offer on his behalf a thought which, more than any other, calls to mind both his teachings and the way he lives: "The great lawyer has always been a great teacher and his best pupil is himself."'

Elliott E. Cheatham - Gentleman, Richard R. Powell

Vanderbilt Law Review

It was suggested to the writer that he write about Elliott E. Cheatham as a colleague in the field of legal education. This is but one aspect of his special preeminence, but any aspect of this man finds its ultimate foundation in his underlying and pervasive qualities as a gentleman. Kindly in the face of student stupidity, gentle in persuading his obstinate colleagues, loving in his more personal relations, the man embodies the best that can be connoted by the phrase "Southern gentleman."

Eec, John W. Wade

Vanderbilt Law Review

Elliott Cheatham is a man of young ideas--often radical ones. His thoughts and plans are of the future, and he looks to the past only for the lessons it gives as to how the future can be improved. He thinks always of the "energizing forces of the law."' He sees the turmoil and vicissitudes of contemporary society as a challenge to the law, the lawyer, and the law school, to identify the values in them and find a way for law to produce the orderly change which will capture and utilize those values. He can sternly and firmly prod and …

Elliott Evans Cheatham, Willis L.M. Reese

Vanderbilt Law Review

Cheatham has made a marked imprint through his teaching and his writing on five areas of the law: international law, property, legal education, the legal profession, and conflict of laws. Of these, the legal profession is probably the field where his influence has been most deeply felt. Indeed, it is largely because of his ground-breaking casebook that the subject figures so prominently today in law school curriculums. Likewise, his Carpentier Lectures of a few years ago on "A Lawyer When Needed" provided the entering wedge into a subject that is of great contemporary significance. What Cheatham has done in the …
