Book Review: Law School: Legal Education In America From The 1850s To The 1980s By Robert Stevens, Eric A. Chiappinelli
Seattle University Law Review
This Book Review examines Law School: Legal Education in America from the 1850s to the 1980s, by Robert Stevens. The Review explains that the book is a history of American legal education from 1850 through 1945, with a foreshortened treatment of events to 1870 and a prolonged view of the period between 1870 and 1945. Stevens’s work is chronological and details three developments: the hegemony of Harvard and later the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools over educational standards; the role of Harvard in establishing the primacy of the case method of instruction; and the …
Symbol And Substance In The Minority Professoriat's Future, Henry Mcgee
Symbol And Substance In The Minority Professoriat's Future, Henry Mcgee
Faculty Articles
Professor McGee addresses the issues faced by minority professors. In an environment that is mostly white, the minority professor is confronted with problems simply by being present on campus. The minority professor also faces significant dilemmas with respect to his/her own community. As increasing numbers of minorities fall farther below the national socio-economic and social indicators, and racial isolation deepens and becomes more pervasive, the minority law professor becomes estranged from his/her own community.
Mid-City Law Center: Opportunity For Academic Innovation, Andrew S. Watson
Mid-City Law Center: Opportunity For Academic Innovation, Andrew S. Watson
Seattle University Law Review
This paper will explore some aspects of legal educaton in the context of the Norton Clapp Law Center, a new mid-city law school complex. The innovations in this Center will bring certain educational hazards, many of which are at the center of recent pedagogical discussions about law schools. This paper attempts to identify these hazards and contemplate ways to forestall them. I will not explore these issues as either a lawyer, an economist, a sociological or anthropological analyst. Rather, my observations will be those of a working psychiatric clinician who is a long-time member of a law faculty, and who …
A Practitioner's Guide To The Management And Use Of Expert Witnesses In Washington Civil Litigation, Thomas V. Harris
A Practitioner's Guide To The Management And Use Of Expert Witnesses In Washington Civil Litigation, Thomas V. Harris
Seattle University Law Review
The Washington litigation process places a premium on the skillful management of expert witnesses. Testimony presented by such witnesses is both readily admissible and virtually unlimited in scope. Washington's adoption of the new Rules of Evidence can only serve to reinforce the current practice. Since most litigated cases involve substantial factual disputes, the development and presentation of expert testimony should be a major concern of all trial attorneys. The importance of trial examination has never been underrated. That part of the litigation process is one that all attorneys relish. The skillful management of expert witnesses, however, involves far more than …
The Problems And Promise Of Black Men Of Law, Henry Mcgee
The Problems And Promise Of Black Men Of Law, Henry Mcgee
Faculty Articles
Professor McGee discusses the Black legal community's fight from the 1930s through the 1950s that eliminated the constitutional support of racial segregation and discrimination. Given the monumental obstacles which historically have plagued black lawyers, it is remarkable how many have succeeded despite the discrimination. While this article touches on some of the difficulties and limitations of the black bar, it must be stressed that there is a tradition of leadership and service among black lawyers that provides a solid foundation for the relatively large numbers of advocates that return to their communities. Building on this tradition of leadership, there are …

Faculty Articles
Professor McGee addresses the endeavor of Black Americans--their struggle against discrimination and segregation--and their entry into law school and the legal profession. The emerging cadre of Black law students represents the newest source of leadership in the struggle for Black liberation. They are part of a surging tide of blackness that may yet save the nation from the decay and death of racism. As such they command attention and respect.
