Looking At The Overlooked: Portraits Of Law School Deans, Peter Goodrich Dec 2006

Looking At The Overlooked: Portraits Of Law School Deans, Peter Goodrich

Articles

The article examines the role of portraits in law schools, arguing that these images are not merely decorative but serve as powerful symbols that shape institutional identity and the legal profession. Despite their ubiquity, these portraits are often overlooked, yet they function as megalographs, inscribing and disseminating the values, history, and authority of the institution. The author contends that these visual elements play a crucial role in the formation of legal identity and the symbolic order of law schools.

Scholarly Works

Writing the introduction to a symposium in memory of a friend is a great honor, of course, and one that I seized immediately, for fear that the Editor in Chief might change his mind.

Herbert Hart Elucidated, A. W. Brian Simpson May 2006

Herbert Hart Elucidated, A. W. Brian Simpson

Michigan Law Review

There are a number of good biographies of judges, but very few of individual legal academics; indeed, so far as American legal academics are concerned, the only one of note that comes to mind is William Twining's life of Karl Llewellyn. Llewellyn was, of course, a major figure in the evolution of American law, and his unusual life was a further advantage for his biographer. In this biography, Nicola Lace has taken as her subject an English academic who also had an unusual career, one whose contribution was principally not to the evolution of the English legal system but to …

From The Dean, Lauren K. Robel

Lauren Robel (2002 Acting; 2003-2011)

This Bill of Particulars provides a window to some of the exciting changes at Indiana Law since the adoption of our Strategic Plan. The plan calls for Indiana Law to be a "highly visible and influential law school whose faculty, students, and graduates advance knowledge, justice, and the public good in the state, in the nation, and around the world." We chose three strategies for achieving that vision: enhancing our community of engaged, influential scholars; communicating our ideas more effectively to influence debate in the academy, the profession, and the wider world; and educating our students for the demands of …

Michigan's First Woman Lawyer: Sarah Killgore Wertman, Margaret A. Leary Mar 2006

Michigan's First Woman Lawyer: Sarah Killgore Wertman, Margaret A. Leary

Articles

Sarah Killgore Wertman was the first woman in the country to both graduate from law school and be admitted to the bar. Thus, she was Michigan's first woman lawyer in two senses: She was the first woman to graduate from the University of Michigan Law School, and the first woman admitted to the Michigan bar. Others preceded her in entering law school, graduating from law school, or being admitted to the bar, but she was the first to accomplish all three. Her story illustrates much about the early days of women in legal education and the practice of law, a …

Of Grace And Dignity In Law: A Tribute To Friedrich Schiller., Daniel H. Halberstam Jan 2006

Of Grace And Dignity In Law: A Tribute To Friedrich Schiller., Daniel H. Halberstam

Book Chapters

When we think of Friedrich Schiller's connection to the law, we usually think of the great playwright's rich treatment of criminal law and public order in his plays. Despite the fact that Schiller abandoned the study of law at an early age, thinking it too dry, Schiller's work frequently and explicitly dealt with legal issues. His main focus was crime and punishment, on the one hand, and revolution and state legitimacy, on the other. From Schiller's first play, Die Rauber to Fiesco, Don Carlos, Wallenstein, The Bride of Messina, and Wilhelm Tell, as well as many of the others, Schiller …
