Dean's Report 1987, J. Ralph Beaird

Other Law School Publications

In the Annual Report for last year, I indicated that I planned to devote the 1986-87 report to a review of the preceding decade and attempt to provide an historical perspective to this period. It is an appropriate time to undertake this review, for on October 14, 1986 I marked my tenth anniversary as Dean of the School of Law. Counting my service as Acting Dean in 1972 through 1974, I have served this Law School as administrative head for thirteen years, a span of time characterized by much change and development in American legal education.

This past year was …

The highlight of the 1980-81 academic year at the University of Georgia School of Law was the opening of the new Law Library Annex. The building was dedicated May 2, 1981 in ceremonies marking the Law Day observance. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun was the dedication speaker.

The new annex contains 25,000 square feet divided among three floors of library, office and instructional space. With this new addition the law school physical plan now totals 138,000 square feet. The annex includes 20 offices for the editorial staffs of the Georgia Law Review and the Journal of International and Comparative …

The year 1967-1968 was the first full year of what might appropriately be called Phase II of the campaign to move the University of Georgia School of Law into the front rank of legal education. The year's activities were highlighted in the fall with the Dedication Exercises, at which the Honorable Hugo L. Black, Associate Justice of the United State Supreme Court, gave the principal address; and in the spring by the appearance of the Honorable Dean Rusk, Secretary of State of the United States of America, as our Law Day speaker. These address were supplemented during the year with …

The School of Law has had a good year, but has suffered as a result of quite inadequate physical facilities. This matter has been referred to in my Annual Report for years, but now we at the Law School are pleased that, upon the recommendation of the Administration of the University, the Board of Regents has made provisions for additional facilities.

Dean' Report 1962, J. Alton Hosch

The School of Law has had a good year, but has suffered as a result of quite inadequate physical facilities. This matter has been referred to in the Annual Reports for years past but the situation is now most critical. Therefore, the most important part of this Report has to do with the urgency of the need of additional physical facilities that is discussed in Section IV PHYSICAL FACILITIES of this Report.

I have the honor to submit the following Report for the School of Law for the year 1960-1961.

Aristotle once said: "All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of Empires depends upon the education of youth." So it seems to me that the fate of the bar of this country depends upon the education of the young men and women who are admitted to the bar. For over a century now the University of Georgia Law School has been engaged in this high endeavor. We are indeed proud of our alumni …

An adequate library is absolutely essential for the operation of a modern law school. Fortunately the law building is satisfactory in most respects due to the generosity of the alumni and friends of the Law School. We have now reached the point, however, where additional stacks are necessary. The present stacks are arranged so that a glass floor can be laid on them and thereby provide two floors in the stackroom. Additional stacks may be placed on this second floor and we shall then be able to properly take care of our books. The stackroom was constructed with this end …

An adequate library is absolutely necessary for the operation of a modern Law School. Fortunately the present quarters and physical equipment are satisfactory due to the generosity of alumni and friends of the Law School. Progress has been made during the past few years in providing essential books, but I wish to point out again certain deficiencies that should be taken care of as soon as possible.

Last fall a survey of the University of Georgia Library was made by the committee on behalf of the American Library Association. The report on page twenty-two contains the following statement concerning the …

For the past two years the faculty of the School of Law of The University of Georgia has been studying the curriculum of this School as well as the curricula of the other leading law schools in the country for the purpose of effecting such revision as seemed desirable to better serve the needs of the students. The bulletin of the Law School, which has been issued recently, gives the details of the new curriculum which has been prepared by the law faculty and approved by the President of the University. The members of the faculty believe that the changes …

You are familiar with the report made by Dean Herschel W. Arant, Dean of the College of Law of Ohio State University and Secretary of the Association of American Law Schools following his inspection of the Law School last September. His report included the following recommendations concerning the Library:

(1) "That the dean be advised that expenditures in the immediate future would be made wisely if a few complete sets of the better law reviews not now in the library were added."

(2) "That the dean be advised that the library should add eight or ten more statutory compilations to …

Dean' Report 1934, Harmon W. Caldwell

Other Law School Publications

Since the last regular report of the dean was submitted on May 20th 1932, many changes have taken place which affect the Law School. At that time the school was housed in an old brick building at the northeast corner of Broad and Lumpkin Streets. There was then under construction, however, a new building on the campus of the University. This building was completed in October 1932 and the Law School took possession of it in that month. On October 20, 1932 there was held in the century-old chapel of the University the dedicatory exercises of the new law building, …
