Old And New Type Bar Exams, Melvin Nord

Cleveland State Law Review

Bar exams are intended to protect the public by insuring that only competent persons are licensed to practice law. What comprises competency, however, is a difficult question to answer; and how competency is to be determined is even more difficult. As with most difficult questions, the usual approach has been simply to ignore them and "play it by ear." The result has been bar exams in many states which are of marginal value to the public and which have at the same time been extremely unfair to the applicants.

Problems In Legal Education 1971, Cleveland State Law Review

Cleveland State Law Review

Six problems in legal education, much discussed recently, were posed by the Editors of this Review to a number of the top educators in the legal world. These questions were and are frankly difficult and controversial, but their answers are important to our system of legal education and to our society. Capsule answers given by these concerned educators are believed to be interesting and significant. Each is a personal rather than a representative opinion. Brief answers such as these, of course, are not expected to be, nor do they pretend to be, complete or profound. Their purpose is to indicate …

Make Room For The Students: Governance Of The Law School, John J. Regan

Cleveland State Law Review

Should students share the power? The issue of student participation in the governance of colleges and universities concerns virtually every institution of higher education in the country. Confrontations at some universities have focused on this issue as one of the prime causes of student discontent. Other institutions have plunged quickly into investigations and discussions of the question to head off such disturbances.

A Comparison Of Legal Education In The United States And West Germany, Wilfried Schluter, William O. Morris

West Virginia Law Review

In recent years we have witnessed evidence of student unrest and dissatisfaction in many universities, both in the United States and in many, if not most, foreign countries. In some instances those enrolled in a course of legal study have been in the front ranks of the students protesting the quality of their education and the methods used in endeavoring to provide a well rounded legal education. When comparing legal education in West Germany and the United States, one must initially recognize that there is a difference in the philosophy in the two countries as to the study of law …

Elliott E. Cheatham - Gentleman, Richard R. Powell

Vanderbilt Law Review

It was suggested to the writer that he write about Elliott E. Cheatham as a colleague in the field of legal education. This is but one aspect of his special preeminence, but any aspect of this man finds its ultimate foundation in his underlying and pervasive qualities as a gentleman. Kindly in the face of student stupidity, gentle in persuading his obstinate colleagues, loving in his more personal relations, the man embodies the best that can be connoted by the phrase "Southern gentleman."

Elliott Evans Cheatham, Willis L.M. Reese

Vanderbilt Law Review

Cheatham has made a marked imprint through his teaching and his writing on five areas of the law: international law, property, legal education, the legal profession, and conflict of laws. Of these, the legal profession is probably the field where his influence has been most deeply felt. Indeed, it is largely because of his ground-breaking casebook that the subject figures so prominently today in law school curriculums. Likewise, his Carpentier Lectures of a few years ago on "A Lawyer When Needed" provided the entering wedge into a subject that is of great contemporary significance. What Cheatham has done in the …

Legal Education And The Demands For Stability And Change Through Law, John W. Wade

Vanderbilt Law Review

Our theme for this dedication program is "Stability and Change Through Law." The general plan has been to give consideration, first, to the demands made upon law and legal institutions to meet the basic social needs for security and order and to reach out toward the fuller realization of national ideals, while adapting to the stresses brought on by science, technology, and changing political, economic,and social patterns; and second, to the responses of law and legal institutions to these demands. The treatments of the law's response considered not only what has been done in the past and what is being …

Edmund M. Morgan, Austin W. Scott, John W. Wade

Vanderbilt Law Review

Everyone who knows him well speaks of him as Eddie Morgan--or simply as Eddie. This includes his colleagues, whether they are at the same school or another one; his students, though this is privately, of course, when they are talking about him among themselves; and his former students. Especially his former students. No matter whether they have been out of school for many years or just a few years, they ask about him in the same way. The face and the voice disclose an admiration for him and a touch of awe, and yet at the same time a different …
