The Gargoyle is 10 years old. Itseems an appropriate time for itsfounding editor to deliver it ingoodshape to new authorship andmanagement.

In the spring of 1969, when Ijoined the Law Schoolstaff, it wasonly a gleam in Dean SpencerKimball's eye - not yet conceived,but already named. So an oppor-tunity was provided to start fromscratch - learning the publishingtrade from seeking printers' bidsto selecting the subjects, to writ-ing the copy, correcting the mail-ing lists and putting the magazinetogether.

The experience has been lots offun. I have had chances to inter-viewprominent alumni in their of-fices in New York, Chicago, Lan-caster (Wis.),Milwaukee, Portage,Kenosha, Washington DC, andother places. There was amemorable lunch in the UnionLeague Club of Chicago with Mr.William J. Hagenah [Hagenah -An Hesperian Forever, Vol. 5, No.1, 1973], recently deceased, thenover 90 years old. Also to beremembered are the interviewswith Mr. Harlan Rogers, Portage,and Mr. Leon Foley, Milwaukee,which revealed that both of theseremarkably successful lawyers

had dyslexia, an infirmity whichmakes reading very difficult.Among many others, there werevisits to the office of the formerDean Lloyd K. Garrison on ParkAvenue and to Perry Neff of theChemical Bank, New York, whichwas terminated when the buildingwas evacuated during the inter-viewbecause of a bomb scare, andin Washington with Ed Garvey,Director of the National FootballPlayers' League.

Through these ten years, theGargoyle has been published atArtcraft Press, Waterloo, a com-pany which publishes many maga-zines. Mr. LyleMiller has been theprinter in charge of every singleissue. He is pleasant, accom-modating and efficient. Therehave been three trips to Waterloowith each issue, 120 trips in all,fall, winter, spring and summer.

The activities of faculty and stu-dents have provided a new educa-tional experience with each issue;I have discovered that writers andeditors inevitably learn a lot, bylistening, reading and askingquestions.

Someof the statistics are a littleawesome. In 10years, the numberof Wisconsin Law School alumnihas increased by almost 2,600peo-ple. The number of women among

the graduates has increased from4 in 1969 to 81 in 1979, about onethird of the year's total - 411over the 10 year period.

The Law Schoolis a fine place towork. In recent years particularlyit has been relaxed and friendly.There is a spirit of optimism here.Life is serious business, and theresponsibilities of many areheavy, but the varieties of humanexperience are manageable bythese strong, able and conscien-tious young people.

Many colleagues and visitorshave noted that the view from myoffice is one of the best on thecampus, ground-level, facingBascom Hill. The view includes asmany as 20 frisbee games on anice day; stray ducks, an occa-sional Canadian goose; as well asclasses and gymnasts. In 1971,helmeted, armed and gas-bearingpolice and National Guardsmenconfronted howling, rock armedstudents in front of my windows.Now skate boarders do tricks.During the last long winter, I ac-tually saw people turning somer-saults on skis!

A debt of gratitude is owedto allthe Deans: Kimball, Bunn andespecially to Dean Helstad, who,among his other talents, is a heckof a proofreader. We are indebtedto the photographers, students EdWeber, Ha rv ey Held, DavidUllrich and to Gerhard Schultz,the University photographer, whohas done the job in the last fewyears. The secretaries over 10years, Doris Parisi Wallsch, RuthAnn Nelson, Grace Chen, AliceSaben, and Elaine Sweet have allbeen most helpful. Ms. Sweet, inparticular, has lent her artistictalents to the Gargoyle and otherprojects in the Law School.

Most importantly, the readersare the key. Our audience hasbeen large and friendly. I thankthem all.

Finally, the Inspection Team ex-pressed concern about legislativeactivity designed to compel theLaw School to run a full-scale eve-ning program. A bill to requite anevening program was introducedin the 1977 legislature, and a simi-lar bill has been introduced in the1979 legislature. At the time ofthis writing, the State AffairsCommittee of the Assembly hadrecommended passage of the bill.My own position on this matter isthat, before adopting an eveningprogram, we ought to weigh verycarefully the need for such a pro-gram and the question whethersufficient financing will be avail-able to maintain the quality ofboth an evening program and theday program.

The Students

The students continue to be animpressive group. Aside fromtheir outstanding academic cre-dentials, well over half of the stu-dents have had one or more yearsof work experience before enroll-ing in law school. Almost 37 per-cent are women and between sixand seven percent are members ofracial minorities.

With regard to the admissionssituation, pressures of the last tenyears seem to be abating some-what. On the national level, it ap-pears that about 10 percent fewerpersons are taking the Law SchoolAdmissions Test than has beentrue in the past several years. Ourown admissions pool is downsomewhat. We have been averag-ing 850 Wisconsin resident appli-cants over the past several years;this year we were down to 780.However, the apparent academicquality of the admissions pool hasnot dropped at all, so we still areturning away several hundredwell qualified applicants much the

Report

State of the Law School

The general state of the LawSchool can be described as heal-thy. This also was the conclusionof an American Bar AssociationInspection Team which visited theLaw School on November 2 and 3last fall. Although the Teamgenerally had high praise for theLaw School, it nevertheless noteda number of areas of concern,most of them involving questionsof the adequacy of financial sup-port. It noted, for example, thatdespite some improvements in re-cent years, faculty salaries stilllag $4,000 to $7,000 behind sal-aries at some other Big Ten lawschools and some of the majoreastern and western law schoolswith which the University ofWisconsin Law School competesfor faculty. The Inspection Teamalso expressed the view that secre-tarial support for the facultyneeds improvement and that theLaw Library budget should be im-proved. The Team stressed the im-portance of better financial sup-port by the alumni if the LawSchoolis to maintain its margin ofexcellence in a period of increas-ing costs and tight Universitybudgets.

The Inspection Team expressedconcern about the extent to whichour students hold part-time jobs.This also is a matter of concern toour faculty, but economic pres-sures make it a difficult problemto deal with. Our recent surveysshow that 26% of our first-yearstudents, 70%of our second-yearstudents and 83%ofour third-yearstudents hold part-time jobs.

THE GARGOYLE

The Dean's report to the Alumniis slightly revised from the reporthe delivered to the annual meetingon April 21.

Last year and the year before inmy annual reports to the alumni, Istressed the diversity of goals andactivities which currently makeup the totality of this institutionwe call the Law School.This yearmy report will be more in the tra-ditional mold of annual "state ofthe school" reports, touchingbriefly on a number of differentaspects of our operations.

same as wehave been doing in thepast ten years. Our nonresidentapplicant pool is down very sub-stantially from almost 1,200at itspeak to about :650 this year.However,we take so few in the en-tering class (about 55) that thereclearly is no shortage of appli-cants.

About a year ago the UnitedStates Supreme Court decided theBakke case. The law school worldas well as others had awaited thedecision anxiously because of itspotential impact on affirmativeaction programs. When the deci-sion was announced, however, itbecame evident that there werenot any clearcut winners or losers.A committee of our facultyreviewed the potential impact ofthe case on our admissions pro-gram and came to the conclusionthat it had very little impact. Wemade some minor changes in ouradmissions procedures, and weperhaps may make other minorchanges, but essentially we arecontinuing our affirmative actionprogram without much change.Although we do not have a quotafor minorities, the numberregistering in the entering classeshas generally ranged between 15and 25 in a class totaling 280 to290 students.

With regard to the job situationfor our graduates, I can say that ithas remained good.We had morefirms recruiting at the LawSchoolthis past year than ever before,job placements seem to be pro-ceeding at about the same pace asin the previous year, and theaverage starting salary appears tobe up about $1,000 over last year.Starting salaries which have beenreported to date range from a lowof $13,500 to a high of $31,500.

The Faculty

Last year I reported to you thatwe had hired two new facultymembers, Daniel Bernstine andKenneth Davis, and that we hadnot lost any faculty through resig-nations or retirements. Startingin fall 1979, we will have one newfaculty member, Kathryn Powers,who has been teaching at theUniversity of Florida Law School.She teaches in the area of corpora-tions, corporate tax and corporatesecurities. This is also the area inwhich Kenneth Davis teaches, soby our hirings in the past twoyears we have substantiallystrengthened our teachingresources in the business lawarea. As you may know, GeorgeYoung has for many years carriedan unduly heavy teaching burdenin this area.

mermin

This year I must regrettablyre-port that we are losing facultymembers and staff. ProfessorsSteven Cohen and Tom Heller,who have been on the facultysince 1972, will be leaving, and ofcourse we have lost the services ofShirley Abrahamson through herelection to a full term on theWisconsin Supreme Court.

Two long-time faculty members,John Conway and Samuel Mer-min, are retiring. John Conwayhas been a member of our facultysince 1953.He has taught particu-larly in the areas of Civil Pro-cedure, Evidence and Federal Ju-risdiction. He has been a mainstayof our faculty in the area of con-tinuing legal education activitiesand in service to the state, partic-ularly through his long term onthe State Judicial Council.Although John has officiallyretired, I am pleased that he willbe teaching full time in the fallsemester of the 1979-80 academicyear.

man.The joint meeting of the two

Boards onApril 21 provided an op-portunity for discussion of the leg-islative proposal to establish apart-time law school. All agreedthat an evening law school couldnot provide quality educationwithout a substantial increase inthe Law School budget. IrvinCharne, WLAA President, wasauthorized to present the Associ-ation's views to the Legislature atan appropriate time. IndividualBoard members were urged tocontact their own representativesto discuss the implications of thepart-time law school proposal.

of Directors and Visitors of theWisconsin Law Alumni Associ-ation, postponed until fall thefurther consideration of changesin the organization of theBenchers Society.The Benchers Society, founded

in 1962, is celebrating its 17thbirthday this year. Originally, theSociety had 100members, each ofwhom contributed $100 annuallyto the Wisconsin Law Alumni As-sociation. In recent years, thenumber of memberships has beenincreased to 150, and the annualdues have been raised to $150.There are 132 active membersnow. The Society has jealouslyguarded its rather exclusivenature.The Benchers' revenue is

alloted to the Dean annually, to beused at his discretion for thebenefit of the Law School. In1979-80, it is estimated that$19,000 in money donated by theBenchers will be available forspecial projects, such as theResearch-Development projectwhich provides seed money forpreparation of research proposalsto the government or to founda-tions.The Joint Boards will consider

recommendations which wouldprovide some tangible recognitionof the services of the Benchers, aswell as the possibility of providinglife memberships for Benchersafter many years of membership.

In addition to approving theprop 0 sed allo ca ti on of th eBenchers funds, the Board ofDirectors budgeted, for variouspurposes, a total anticipatedrevenue of $39,800 in the LawAlumni Fund and a total of $3,900from special endowment funds ad-ministered by the Association.

Comments to be published in-clude one by Professor WarrenLehman, "How to Interpret aDifficult Statute. "

Professor Alan Neisel has con-tributed the other leading articlewhich explores the exceptions tothe informed consent doctrine -emergency, incompetency, waiverand therapeutic privilege. A"unified consent doctrine", heconcludes, recognizes that the pro-motion of health is not inherentlyat odds with the allocation of pri-mary decisional authority to thepatients.

The leading article in Volume1979, No.2, of the Wisconsin LawReview which will be publishedduring the late summer, will beentitled The Scope of JudicialReview and Walter Murphy, byRaoul Berger, nationally knownConstitutional scholar. Berger'sarticle is a lively rejoinder to a cri-tical review byMurphy of Berger'snew book, Government by Judici-ary: The Transformation of theFourteenth Amendment.

Mr. Strouse praised the outgo-ing Board of Editors for "an in-spiring job" during the past year,which, he says, accounts for thefact that an unusual number ofextremely capable people soughteditorial positions for the comingyear.

Daniel Strouse, 29, is the newEditor-in-Chief of the WisconsinLaw Review for Volume 1980.Born and raised in California, Mr.Strouse has been drawn toWisconsin by relatives who live inWalworth County. A graduatecum laude of Harvard College(1971), he spent the years be-tween college and law school as acarpenter/inventor's assistantand as an aide to a CaliforniaState Senator, specializing inpublic health.

The annual highlight of theAlumni luncheon each year is thepresentation of the WLAA's Dis-tinguished Service Awards. To bechosen by the Board of Directorsof the Wisconsin Law Alumni As-sociation, nominees must havemade an "outstanding contribu-tion to the profession, within orwithout the school or state, as apractitioner, teacher, judge or ingovernment." To be considered, aperson must be aged 65 or retired,but can be either living or dead.

The awards were established in1967, and two people have beenselected each year. Presentationcan be made either at the Springluncheon, which is the Associ-ation's annual meeting, or in thefall at the dinner which is part ofthe annual alumni visitation ofthe Law School.

This year, the Association choseto honor Robert B.L.Murphy, dis-tinguished practicing lawyer, andProfessor Emeritus John Conway.Professor Conway's award will bepresented in the fall.

Parenthetically, there should bementioned at this point that Bob'sinterest in history is more inpreserving the evidence of culture,of ethnic background, of the struc-tural designs and environment,rather than the battle sites of

history. Witness, for example, theState Historical Society'spurchase of the reconstructedhomes and customs of the earlymining days of Wisconsin in theform of Trelawney-Polpero-Pen-darvis restorations at Mineral

point. I understand this is largelydue to his leadership.

This is the background of theman to whom the Wisconsin LawAlumni Association presents its1979 Distinguished ServiceAward, Mr. Robert B.L. Murphy.

Mr. Murphy replied:Sometime back I learned that the Board of WLAAhad designated me as one of the recipients of the 1979

Distinguished Service Award. At that point, such elements of humility as I may still possess were at odds withthe undisguised pleasure I have derived from this particular form of peer recognition. I consider the award ahigh professional honor which I shall always cherish.

In my view, this award has not been fully earned or merited. Others deserved it far more. Having acceptedit, however, I can do no less than to try to close the gap in the time ahead.

After 47 years at the Bar, I ask that you indulge me while I express a fervent hope. Myhope is that a careerat the Bar may continue to provide for those who follow it with dedication and sustained effort -

First, an unlimited opportunity for the lifelong development of the mind, and of professional andsocial judgment in a highly competitive arena;Second,the challenge to perform professional services of a kind and quality which in their aggregatecontribute something to the attainment of justice in our society;Third, a chance to participate in the grand tradition of professional.and public service which is right-ly one of our proudest hallmarks;Fourth, and last but not least, the richly rewarding fellowship of professional peers who have devotedtheir best talents to an honorable shared calling.

annuJ Jund Drive 1teport

There is set forth on the follow-ing pages an accounting andanalysis of voluntary financialcontributions to the LawSchoolbyalumni and other friends for theperiod of April 1, 1978 throughMarch 31, 1979.The report can beseen as both encouraging and dis-couraging.

It is encouraging to note thatthis year's giving exceeded lastyear's by $3,000. It is also en-couraging to note that contribu-tions averaged more than $100per gift. A class gift from the classof 1949 which celebrated its 30threunion at the Spring Program onApril 21 has encouraged us to con-sider reviving the "class agent"approach to fund rasing.

Also during the past year theLaw School learned that it is to bethe recipient of a major bequest tobe used for student scholarships.This gift, which will amount toseveral hundred thousand dollars,is a trust with income to a spouseand the remainder to the LawSchool. We are aware of severalother estates where the LawSchool is a remainder beneficiary.This is a splendid way of con-tributing to the long-rangewelfare of the School and its stu-dents, but of course it is not asubstitute for annual giving.

On the negative side, it is dis-couraging to note that only 481, or8 percent of a total of 6,400 livingalumni, contributed to the annualfund drive. Obviously we have

failed to inform or persuade thevast majority of our alumni of theimportance of their financial sup-port in the maintenance of highquality legal education at this LawSchool. Of course, participationnever approaches 100 percent involuntary giving campaigns. Inpublicly supported law schools, 20percent is considered good andsome schools regularly top 30 per-cent. These are goals we shouldstrive to attain.

To all our friends who con-tributed so generously during thepast year we are grateful. We hopewe can report an expanded list ofsupporters at this time next year.

(lW(kULtol1J Gorham Rice

~ flii fUuuL abner Brad'le

Emeritus Professor WilliamGorham Rice died on April 17,at the age of 86. Abner Brodie,Also Emeritus Professor, paidtribute to Bill at a memorialservice held on May 12, at theUnitarian Meeting House,Madison.

When I began teaching at theLaw School Bill Rice had alreadyserved 27 of his 41 years on thefaculty. For about 14 years, then,wewere active colleagues.And wewere friends until his death. For20 years, or so, we lunchedtogether several times a week.And for about 10 years we sattogether on the Board of theWisconsin Civil Liberties Union.So, I feel that Bill Rice was verymuch a part of my life and whenhe died a piece of me died.

Bill came to the Law School in1922 after graduating from Har~vard and serving for a year as lawclerk for Mr. Justice Brandeis.Brandeis had advised Billnot to goto New York when his year wasup. And Bill and his wife Rosa-mund did not wish to start inAlbany or Boston where theirfamilies were well known. He wasmore inclined toward teachingthan law practice in any case andso wrote to several schools west ofthe Alleghenies to offer his serv-ices. Happily, Wisconsin's bid suc-ceeded. Bill joined a faculty ofeight other professors. As a newmember he taught what fell tohim. But early, he offered a coursein Labor Law, one of the fields ofstudy in which he gained nationalrepute. His must have been one ofthe earliest LawSchoolLabor Lawcourses. In those days Labor Law

XiV

came piecemeal from CriminalLaw, Equity and Torts and somebad anti-trust decisions of theSupreme Court.

Bill's Labor Law course at-tracted many graduate studentsof Economics and Bill began towork with John R. Commons andhis associates. This interdisciplin-ary work was very congenial tohim. Indeed, it was one of the LawSchool's chief attractions for him.And he contrasted it with Har-vard where, he said, the LawSchool seemed separate from therest of the University.

Bill also was one of the earlyleaders in developing Interna-tional Law as a field of study, andat the time I came to the LawSchool this was perhaps his prin-cipal interest, supplanting LaborLaw.Hewas active and influentialin the American Society for Inter-national Law and in the organiza-tion for World Peace ThroughLaw. He wrote extensively on In-ternational Law, as well as onContracts and Constitutional Law,both of which he taught for manyyears.

His influence in legal educationwas international. In 1948 he

taught at the newly formedSalzburg Seminar on AmericanStudies and in 1958 lectured onAmerican Law in India andPakistan and helped establishlegal research centers there.

Bill made lasting contributionsto the university at large, outsidethe Law School. In 1928 he waschariman of the University Com-mittee which proposed to theRegents, which adopted them,changes in university regulationsgreatly benefiting the faculty. Hehelped found the Credit Union. Heserved on the Carillon Committeewhich brought the Tower to thecampus, and he composed the textof some of the tablets in theTower.

With some economists Billorganized a seminar which at-tracted both law and graduate stu-dents who learned from eachother as well as from theirteachers. Now, 50 years later, theseminar is still going strong,although, of course, with the pass-ing years it has changed some-what.

It was not only by teaching andwriting that Bill Rice contributedto the development of Labor Lawin the United States. He servedthe state and federal governmentsin various agencies concernedwith labor relations, both hereand abroad. Thus, he representedthe United States at the Interna-tional Labor Organization inGeneva. In doing so, he indirectlycontributed to the emergence ofanother great Labor Law teacher,Nathan Feinsinger. Nate tookover Bill's course while Bill wasaway. This was Nate's start inlabor relations.

He was a great teacher as wellas a fine scholar. His notion wasthat a teacher's function is tostimulate students to learn tothink for themselves, and in thishe was singularly effective.

THE GARGOYLE

ReunionClasses

He was a great and remarkableman. A child of privilege, hedevoted his life to the service ofhis fellow men. I recall seeing himlast summer when we returned toMadison; we had been away forabout a year. And Bill, then in his86th year and in failing health,was concerned about what hecould do to further the legal rightsof children.

He was a man utterly withoutrancor or prejudice. His innatedignity sometimes made him seemremote, but in fact he had greatwarmth and friendliness. Morethan anyone I can think of,he im-pressed himself upon his com-munity by what he was, even morethan by what he did.

But more than his achieve-ments, Bill's contribution to theLaw School was what he was. Mycolleague Willard Hurst said itwell when he told me "I alwaysthought of Bill Rice as a piece ofmy conscience, prodding me to dowhat I should do but sometimesdidn't want to." But the proddingwas Bill's example, not his pre-cept. He did not preach. He wasthe conscience of all of us, prod-ding us to try to emulate him.

In no better way can I expressmy feeling about Bill Rice than torepeat from Euripedes',"Iphigenia at Alis", lines withwhich Judge Cardozo paid tributeto Oliver Wendel Holmes onHolmes's 90th birthday - "Howcan I praise thee, and not overpraise, and yet not mar the graceby stint thereof?"

annual Convocation awards meritOne of the traditional events of

the annual Spring Program is theAwards Convocation,which in re-cent years has been held in the au-ditorium of the State HistoricalSociety building. Each year, it isfollowedby a reception in the Sell-ery Room for the prize winnersand their families and friends.Winners are recommended to theFaculty by the faculty mambers ofthe Financial Aids Committee.

Prizes are all contributions tothe Law Scbool, often memorialsto deceased alumni. The amountsare set by the donors, and varywidely. In some cases qualifica-tions are explicit, such as the firstor second ranking students.Others, designated by the donors,are awards for "scholarship,leadership, service, or outstandingmembers of the class".

This year for the first time, thenewly elected members of COIFwere not introduced. New rules ofthe prestigious national organiza-tion now require that eligibilityfor membership will be based onthe grades earned in six semestersinstead of five. Instead an honorroll composed of the top 12%of theclass was announced, and mem-bers received certificates from theDean. COIF membership will beannounced later.

THE DEANfrom page 4

Sam Mermin has been a mem-ber of our faculty since 1951,teaching in the areas of Adminis-trative Law, Jurisprudence andCriminal Law as well as handlinga good share of our Moot Courtprograms over the years. Sam alsowas instrumental in initiatingwha t might be called ourJapanese connection. He hasspent considerable time as a visit-ing professor at Japanese univer-sities, and in return we have had asubstantial number of Japanesevisitors coming to the Universityof Wisconsin Law School to studyand do research. I am pleased toreport that Sam also may be con-tinuing to teach from time to timeuntil he reaches mandatoryretirement age in 1983.

Assistant to the Dean RuthDoyle retires at the end of June ofthis year. She has served in herpresent capacity for 10 years,spanning the terms of threedeans. Prior to that, she served foreight years in other capacities atthe University, and it is only aslight exaggeration to say that shehas devoted her entire adult life topublic service in the state ofWisconsin. At the Law School, shehas administered our financial aidprogram, counseled innumerablestudents (both law and pre-law)and produced and edited theGargoyle ever since its inception.

Finally, I must report with sad-ness the deaths of Emeritus Pro-fessor William Gorham Rice andEmeritus Professor Wilber G.Katz. Professor Rice was a notedcivil libertarian and a dis-tinguished teacher of Constitu-tional Law, Labor Law and othersubjects at the University ofWisconsin Law School from 1922to 1963. Professor Katz spentmost of his academic career at theUniversity of Chicago Law School,including a term as Dean of thatLaw School from 1939 to 1950. Hecame to the University of Wiscon-sin Law Schoolin 1961and retiredin 1971. He was a specialist in thecorporate law area and in the lawpertaining to religious freedom.

Curriculum and Other Matters

A recent issue of the Gargoyle(Vol.X,No.2) was devoted to our"traditional" curriculum. Sometime in the near future we hope todevote an issue to our clinical andpractice skills curriculum. Hence,I will not devote much space tothis subject at this time. I will noteonly that we do have an ongoingreview of our curriculum, focusingcurrently on the basic courses inthe second and third years.

On February 16, the StudentBar Association speakers pro-gram brought Ralph Nader to theLaw School, and on June 5 JudgeJean Graham Hall ofEngland wasa guest speaker at the Law School.In November 1978 the Law Schoolhosted a National Conference onCritical Legal Studies, an area inwhich some of our faculty mem-bers are interested.

In September 1978, an 11,000square foot addition to the LawLibrary was completed, giving ussome much needed extra space.

Research and Public ServiceAny law school which wants to

consider itself a distinguished in-stitution of learning must devotesome of its resources and effortstoward seeking improvements inthe legal system - in short, in thepursuit of justice. A great deal ofthis goes on at the University ofWisconsin Law School. I will men-tion three examples of current ac-tivity by way of illustration. Thescope of these activities rangesfrom state and local to interna-tional.

A project of international scopeis one in which three of our profes-sors (Joel Handler, Marc Galanterand David Trubek) are involved. Itis a wide-ranging study directedby Stanford law professor MauroCappelletti and financed jointly bythe Ford Foundation and theItalian National Research Coun-cil. The study seeks practical solu-tions to problems which deny ac-cess to justice to millions of peoplethroughout the world. Understudy are various alternatives tolitigation as a means of settlingdisputes.

THE GARGOYLE

A similar study on the nationallevel is based at the University ofWisconsin LawSchool.In January1979 the U. S. Department ofJustice awarded the Law School a$1.3 million contract for a 2-yearinvestigation of the costs of litiga-tion in federal courts and the in-vestigation of alternative disputeprocessing mechanisms. ProfessorDavid Trubek is the director ofthis study. The study will involveinterdisciplinary analysis ofseveral thousand cases to bedrawn from federal and statecourts and from arbitration,mediation and administrativeagency proceedings. The projectteam includes researchers withbackgrounds in law, economics,political science and sociology.Among them are Professors MarcGalanter, Neil Komesar andStewart Macaulay (in addition toProfessor Trubek) from the LawSchool,as well as faculty membersfrom the University of Wiscon-sin's Political Science andSociology Departments and fromthe University of SouthernCalifornia Law School.Most of thebasic survey work will be sub-contracted. The project should

contribute significantly to thegrowing policy debate over the ap-propriate role for courts in oursociety and the effectiveness ofalternative systems of disputeprocessing. I am pleased thatsome alumni funds were availableto help us prepare the groundworkwhich enabled us to bid suc-cessfully for this project.

The third project illustratesdirect service to the State ofWisconsin. It is a project in whichProfessor Walter Dickey isengaged. The Law School enteredinto a contract with the Depart-ment of Health and Social Serv-ices to draft rules pertaining tothe whole area of corrections. Theneed for this rule-drafting projectcame about because the Legis-lature in 1977 abolished an ex-emption from rule-making pro-cedures which had existed formany years. Hence, it became nec-essary to draft and adopt rulesdealing with the whole gamut ofcorrections work, including ad-mission of convicted persons topenal and correctional institu-tions, transfers among institu-tions, discipline in the institu-tions, parole and discharge of con-

victed persons, and a number ofother related matters. We wereable to enter into this pioneeringeffort because of ProfessorDickey's expertise in the field ofcorrections - an expertise whichhe had acquired through his ex-perience as a director of ourlargest clinical program, the LegalAssistance to InstitutionalizedPersons Program. ProfessorDickey will continue his draftingwork during the 1979-80academic year. He also will beresponsible for providing trainingsessions to the employees of theDivision of Corrections to betterenable them to carry out theirnew duties under the rules.

ConclusionIn summary, it has been a fairly

normal year at the Law School.Change is ever-present, althoughincremental, and new challengesseem to arise every day. But an ex-cellent faculty and staff and sup-portive alumni have helped uskeep the place on an even keel.For that I am thankful.
