Law Students' Handbook, University Of Michigan Law School

Miscellaneous Law School History & Publications

This booklet has several purposes. It is designed, first of all, to help the first year student make the adjustment to what, for him, will be a new and, we hope, interesting and even exciting experience. It is also designed to assist the more sophisticated upperclassmen in such problems as curricular planning and the choice of legal career.

The Law School: 1951-52, E. Blythe Stason

Michigan Law Review

A year ago, in December of 1950, when the war in Korea was going badly and the country appeared to be on the brink of general mobilization, it seemed inevitable that the demands of military service would make severe inroads upon this year's student enrollment in the Law School. Such inroads have been made, but although the recall of reservists and the call of Selective Service draftees have drawn into the armed forces many young men who would otherwise be studying law at Michigan, the effect has by no means been as severe as was anticipated. The current fall semester …

Five lectures delivered at the University of Michigan February 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27, 1948 on the Thomas M. Cooley Lectureship, enlarged and revised.

First, it is descriptive of the American legal system as it now exists, not of past law and not of legal systems in general. Second, it portrays the legal system as an operating institution. Third, I have given a large place to the discussion of language in relation to law. Fourth, I have given a considerable amount of space to a discussion of the ways in which statutes are made and interpreted. Fifth, technical ideas …

The Law School-1950-51, E. Blythe Stason

Michigan Law Review

Notwithstanding wars and rumors of wars, the September 1950 semester opens with almost 1000 prospective candidates for the legal profession, 372 members of the first-year class, 288 members of the second-year class, 284 in the third-year class, 24 graduate students in law and 3 special students, making a total of 971 students. The enrollment is actually 59 less than last year when a total of 1030 students were enrolled for the fall semester, but the call of reservists and the prospective induction of all other able bodied male persons have had a noticeable though limited effect. Moreover, they create an …

The Study Of Jurisprudence-A Letter To A Hostile Student, Samuel Mermin

Michigan Law Review

The value to the law student of a course in jurisprudence has long been a question mark-and to the teachers as well as the students. The students have not been prompted by self-interest, as the teachers have, to come up with plausible erasures of the question mark. Most students, as you did, find the course esoteric, murky and impractical. The teachers, however, many of whom are mercifully unaware of the student reaction, have found sufficient justification for the course on various grounds which I think I can briefly summarize.

The Law School 1949-50, E. Blythe Stason

Michigan Law Review

Notwithstanding the fact that the peak of postwar veterans' enrollment is supposed to have subsided, the 1949-50 enrollment in the Law School remains substantially the same as it has been during the past several years. Last year we recorded a total of 1057 students; this year the figure is 1030. The beginning class of 409 students, together with 273 second-year and 328 third-year students, to which must be added 20 graduate students, all add up to the total, 1030. Thirty-three of the total are women, the largest women's enrollment ever recorded in the School. The group of 20 graduate students …
