The Law School Looks At Vietnam, W. G. C.
The Law School Looks At Vietnam, W. G. C.
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
On November 7, 1967, while pollsters were busy recording increased popular dissatisfaction with President Johnson's Vietnam policy, the Vanderbilt International Law Society decided to find out what law students at Vanderbilt felt about the War and the legal implications stemming from it.
About two-thirds of the entire student body participated in the poll. A multiple-choice format was used; yet, many students added lengthy comments of their own on the War. Of course, their interest wasn't just academic. As one voter noted, "My answers are affected by the probability that I'll be going to Vietnam...and I don't want to get shot …

Organizations For The International Lawyer-- A Brief Survey, Elliott E. Cheatham
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The great rise in interest in international law has a firm basis in the facts of modern life. Washington and New York are now closer to Paris and Moscow in travel time, not to speak of missile delivery time, than adjoining county seats were when Washington warned against entangling alliances. Travel time and ease rather than miles or kilometers are the measure of near and far. The shrinkage of space in time has increased enormously the importance of sound relations among peoples of the world. Science and technology are opening up new areas for human activities, particularly competition in outer …

The End Of Empire, Fred D. Schneider
The End Of Empire, Fred D. Schneider
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Within the space of a generation, the British Empire has disintegrated in a way that appears extraordinary, even in retrospect. "How marvelous it all is," Lord Rosebery exclaimed at the end of the nineteenth century. If marvelous in its growth, the Empire has been no less significant in the manner of its passing.
The decline of great empires exerts a peculiar fascination over the mind of the historian; indeed, more has been written about the fall of Rome than about the death of any other political entity. Diverse and contradictory theories are advanced to explain a complex historical phenomenon, and …

This issue marks the close of the first year for the Vanderbilt International. What it will become in the future is anyone's guess with General Hershey threatening a drastic reduction in the number of law students next year. In the long run, however, the publication can probably fill a very useful role as either an interdisciplinary magazine with a legal bias or as a law journal with an interdisciplinary bent. The former goal has been, by choice and necessity, the object of this year's Editors. Next year's staff will do as they like.
Regardless of emphasis, however, the increasing importance …

Lunar Reflections -- On The Jessup Cup, M. Elizabeth Culbreth
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
A hit from some years ago -- "The moon belongs to every-one" -- came to have special significance for a group of Vanderbilt Law students during the spring of 1967. For the members of the Vanderbilt International Moot Court Team under the guidance of their faculty advisor, Professor Harold Maier, researching, understanding and articulating the international legal arguments on both sides of that musical thesis became the sport of the day. Happily, their endeavors were rewarded on April 29, when Vanderbilt won the National Championship by defeating the team from Harvard Law School in the final round of the fifth …
