Moving To New HorizonVOLUME 3 EDITION: SUMMER DATE: AUGUST 1984 NUMBER 1

Sampson Named Professor Emeritus:a profile and reflections

by Lundy L. Johnson

The North Carolina CentralUniversity Board of Trustees, acting onthe unanimous request of the Dean andFaculty of the School of Law, on June 20,1984 designated Professor Daniel G.Sampson as Professor Emeritus. ProfessorSampson will retire as a member of thefull-time faculty on August 31, 1984,although he will continue as a part-timeteacher with one course per semester. TheNEW HORIZONS Letter interviewed DeanSampson and asked him to reflect on histhirty-four years as part of the "life andtimes" of the NCCU School of Law .

Background and Education

Professor Sampson came to the NCCUSchoo'l of Law in August, 1950 afterobtaining his LLM in June 1950 from BostonUniversity. He received his LLB (therewere few, if any, JD degrees offered atthat time) in 1949 also from BostonUniversity. He had already earned aMasters in Economics from AtlantaUniversity (1941) and a BS from MorehouseCollege (1939). Professor Sampson enteredthe Army in 1942. After completing hisArmy duties he taught high school and anadult education program during the firstseven months of 1946.

When Dean Sampson began teaching atthe Law School in 1950, there were 17students, 4 full time professors, onelibrarian (who also taught Legal Methodsand Legal Bibliography), the Dean (whotaught Contracts and Constitutional Law)and other visiting professors from Dukeand UNC. Professor Sampson taught, in hisfirst year as a teacher, NegotiableInstruments, Trusts, Equity, DomesticRelations, Sales and (of course) Torts.

Students Then and Now

NCCU's student population, likethat of most other law schools in 1965,was, for the most part, male. "As amatter of fact, in the early years whenrecruiters went to recruit law students,female students would leave. Few femaleshad any interest in law", says ProfessorSampson. In the 1950's most of thestudents were in Professor Sampson's agegroup and older. Many of the students didnot come directly from college; theyworked first. Therefore they were moremature and more committed than thestudents now - they knew what they wanted.

Another difference in students thenand now, as Professor Sampson sees it, isthat students now seem to seek jobs in"law related fields". In the early daysstudents came mostly because they wantedto practice law. Professor Sampsonremembers an incident that happened to himas a student: The FBI was recruiting athis law school. Professor Sampson went toan interview but left when he was toldthat the FBI did not hire Blacks. Thusthere were few avenues for Blacks exceptprivate practice.

Professor Sampson thinks studentsgave him the name "Mr. Torts" for severalreasons. He taught it every year, hetaught it so long and he was the onlyprofessor to teach it. He goes on toexplain that Torts is a course thatstudents like, one reason being that Tortsconcerns factual situations students canrelate to. This aspect of Torts alsopresents a problem for students becausethey think they know it before they do,merely because the facts come fromproblems and experiences that arefrequently common and familiar.

Sampson Profile continuedL

Teaching

Professor Sampson has found fromhis teaching experience that, "It's hardto determine from test scores whichstudent will ultimately succeed."Professor Sampson believes that the lawschool's examination process is notrefined enough. Examinations give anindication of a student's work, but gradesdo not predict the success of a student asa lawyer. Professor Sampson does not haveenough confidence in examinations to havethem used as tools for dismissing astudent without close examination of thestudent's entire record. An alumnus hepreferred not to name, who is now veryprominent and successful, would have beendismissed because of low examinationscores, except that Sampson was willing to"go to bat for him."

As Dean 1965-1969

Dean Sampson recalls the followinghighlights during his tenure as Dean:

1) The Law School's first legalfraternity - Phi Alpha Delta (RaymondWatkins Chapter) - was started.

2) The JD degree replaced the LLB.3) The North Carolina Central Law

Journal was started.4) The Barrister, a student newspaper,

was started.5) The first course in "Law and

Poverty" to be taught by a law school inNorth Carolina was offered. A grant fromthe North Carolina Fund was used. Thefirst students from Duke and UNC enrolledin this course at NCCU.

6) The curriculum was strengthened andexpanded. The expansion included thefirst CLEO program which was hostedjointly with Duke.

7) The first Indian students wereenrolled.

8) The first white students wereenrolled.

Sampson recalls two events on the"darker" side in the life of the School of

Law during his tenure. The State made twoserious attempts to close the Law School .Sampson believes the attempts weredefeated due in large measure to the"backing of the community and alumni."

Memorable Moments

Alumnus Leroy Johnson '57 becamethe first Black elected to the legislature

of a southern state since reconstruction.That was a high moment for Dean Sampson.Another highlight of his career was theMoot Court team's winning to becomeNational Runner-Up, with former Mayor ofAtlanta Maynard Jackson '64, beingrecognized as best speaker in theCompetition. Professor DeJarmon was coach

of that team.Professor Sampson taught the first

Black United States Attorney and the first

Black member of the NC Board of Law

Examiners, several judges and numerous

prominant lawyers across the country.Professor Sampson has probably taught moreBlack lawyers in the Southeast than anyother professor.

Future Outlooks

Sampson believes that today's"students are often concerned with surface

matters and not with things that arereally fundamental."

He says, "We are teaching rules and

principles and are not showing trends,reasons or why things are what they arebut rather that they are. Law Schools

must fight against becoming tradeschools."

Sampson urges that all Lawyers must

concentrate on serving the public. "The

legal profession is not a highly respectedprofession and is becoming less so", saysProfessor Sampson. Professor Sampson'ssuggestions are that we must get peopleinto the profession who have a genuine

desire to serve. "A Lawyer's mainobjective should be to serve and too manylawyers are falling short on this count -throughout the country."

DEAN'S ANNUAL FUND REPORT

Dear Alumni and Friends:

On behalf of the entire School of Law, I express our great appreciationto each person who helped make this report possible. First, this New HorizonsFind Challenge report at Phase II is a story of quite remarkable success.Second, this report is an even more important indicator of the potential wehave to enhance the School of Law. Third, it portrays so clearly that youwill help us sustain our historic commitment to opportunity and continue ourbold quest for excellence.

One hundred eighty-three individuals, couples, corporations and groupshave joined the New Horizons Fund Challenge. Eighty-six alumni/alumnae fromtwenty four different graduating classes have accepted the Challenge.

The Class of 1976 has the highest number of participants (13), followedby the Classes of 1980 and 1975 with ten and nine participants respectively.The Class of 1969 has the highest rate of participation with a 71%participation rate (5 of 7 members of the class). But graduating classesbefore 1972 were very small. So we have developed a participation rate fortwo groups of classes. Classes before 1972: No. 1-Class of 1969, 71%; No.2-Class of 1947, 40%; Tied for No. 3-Classes of 1954 and 1958, 33%. Class of1972 and after: No. 1-Class of 1981, 15%; Tied for No. 2-Classes of 1976 and1977, 12%; Tied for No. 3-Classes of 1975 and 1980, 11%.

Not counting the Class of 1984, the School of Law has graduated justshort of 900 persons since its first graduate in 1943. Our active, currentalumni list is about 700 persons. With 86 alumni participating in the NewHorizons Fund Challenge our realistic participation rate is 12%. That's agreat beginning.

Total funds contributed during Phase I and Phase II now exceed $45,000.I hope this report will excite you enough so you will begin or renew yourparticipation in Phase III of the New Horizons Fund Challenge.

With deepest personal appreciation, I remain,

Yours faithfully,

Charles E. DayeDean

EL'SPECIAL FEATURESNEW LLPP DIRECTOR SEES WKETWORK" AS VITAL

TO PROJECT SUCCESS

Attorney Brenda Ford McGhee,appointed Director of the Land LossPrevention Project (LLPP) in May 1984,sees "networking" with other organizationsas a vital factor in the success of theLLPP. Networks are needed, she maintains,to develop a support system to combat landloss of limited resource land owners.Attorney McGhee, who received her J .D. in1979 from the UNC-Chapel Hill School ofLaw, was most recently with EasternCarolina Legal Services as ManagingAttorney.

Attorney McGhee's experience withissues affecting low income people isextensive. She has worked with NorthState Legal Services in Hillsborough, NCas an intern and with North Central LegalServices in Durham, NC. She served as aBoard member and as Secretary/Treasurer ofthe LLPP before her appointment asDirector.

The Project faces challenges.These include securing an adequate numberof referral attorneys, providing adequatetraining for attorneys to provide themwith the expertise they need to deal withland loss problems, developing a stablesource of funding and acquiring sufficientstaff.

Attorney McGhee's plan of actioninvolves creating "network" supportsystems. One example: the Project getssupport aid from the Rural AdvancementFund. The Fund's main objective is savingthe family farm by providing technicalassistance, e.g. loan servicing. Loanservicing helps farmers establish arealistic and manageable farm plan. TheFund provides assistance in making thefarm plan work, which the LLPP does notprovide. But through a "network",Attorney McGhee hopes to provide to RuralAdvancement Fund legal expertise inexchange for the service offered by theFund to LLPP clients.

The Land Loss Prevention Prbject islocated at the School of Law, cooperateswith the Clinical Experience Program andprovides both classroom and practicalexperiences for law students.
