Professor Melli

Another section reviews theproblems caused to a widowby theseparate property law of Wiscon-sin. The economic problems for awife in divorce are discussed.Problems such as child support,custody, and wife abuse, are alsocovered.

The Legal Status of Home-makers in Wisconsin begins withan introduction by former U.S.Representative Martha Griffin ofMichigan.

It is for sale ($2.00) by theSuperintendent of DocumentsU.S. Government Printing Office:Washington, D.C. 20402.

The upcoming issue of theWisconsin Law Review, Volume1977, No.2, published in mid-Sep-tember, offers interesting readingon a variety of topics. Number 2features two lead articles. "Sub-sidizing Open Communities," byR. H. Silverman, deals com-prehensively with the problems ofestablishing low-income housingin suburban communities. AndMarlene A. Nicholson takes a cri-tical look at the Supreme Court'sanalysis of the Federal ElectionCampaign Act in "Buckley v.Valeo: The Constitutionality ofthe Federal Election CampaignAct Amendments of 1975."

Several student case notes treattopics holding significance forWisconsin attorneys. In the crimi-nallaw area, State ex rel Prellwitzv. Schmidt, a decision dealing withthe due process implications ofprobation and parole revocation inWisconsin, is examined.

In the public employment area,U.S. Supreme Court decisions inBishop v. Wood and HortonvilleJoint School District No. 1v. Hor-tonvil{e Educational Assoc. arereviewed. The Bishop note ex-plores the historical developmentand current status of the "proper-ty interest" in public employment.The Hortonville note examines, ina due process-administrative lawcontext, the school board'sauthority to dismiss strikingteachers.

The topic of primary jurisdic-tion as between courts and admin-istrative agencies is addressed ina case-note on Nader v. AlleghenyAirlines. Finally, the propriety ofpaying contingency fees to expertwitnesses is considered in a stu-dent review of Person v. Associ-ation of the Bar of the City of NewYork.

***

Professor Melli discusses thedisadvantages which a home-maker, who does not work outsidethe home, has in a separate pro-perty state like Wisconsin. Onesection reviews the state of thelaw in an on-going marriage,pointing out that the woman whohas assumed total responsibilityfor raising children so her hus-band is free to devote himself tosucceeding in business may ac-quire no property herself, unless,of course, her husband makes hera gift.

At the invitation of the Home-makers Committee of the Com-mission on the Observance of In-ternational Women's Year, Pro-fessor Margo Melli has produced abrief, but very useful monographon the Legal Status of Home-makers in Wisconsin.

Goin9s on in the Summer

Each student prepared in ad-vance of the trip a report on onephase of the problems to be ob-served.

Often, during the summer, theLaw School has interesting andunexpected visitors. During thissummer (1977), Mr. ErnestSchopfler, class of 1940, visited hisclassmate, Professor GeorgeYoung. Mr. Schopfler has retiredas an editor in the Lawyer's CoopPublishing Company, Rochester,New York. He is remembered byhis contemporaries and others ashaving earned one of the bestacademic records in the history ofthe Wisconsin Law School, and asthe Dalberg prize winner in 1940.

For example, under the sponsor-ship of the Institute of Environ-mental Studies, Professor JamesMacDonald in the Intersession re-cently passed, conducted a studytour which was devoted to asurvey of land use and water prob-lems in Colorado. The thirteenstudents who were enrolled ob-served irrigation projects, coalstrip mines, an oil shale experi-ment, and hydro-electric plants.The group had opportunities totalk with federal, state, and localadministrators, as wen as withspokesmen for user groups whichincluded mining and irrigationcompanies, the Denver WaterBoard and Trout Unlimited. In ad-dition to their contacts in Col-orado, the class visited one countyplanning committee in Wyomingand met with the city officialsresponsible for flood plain acquisi-tion after the most disastrousflood in Rapid City, South Dakota,in 1972.

For the past several years, thethree weeks between graduationin May and the opening of thesummer session late in June hasbeen designated as Intersessionon the Madison campus. In theLaw School, students can earnthree credits in one of a number ofofferings which in 1977 includedConstitutional Law, Creditors andDebtors Rights, ProfessionalResponsibilities, Law and Contem-porary Problems. A seminar inLaw and Correctional Institutionswas conducted for studentsenrolled in the Legal Assistance toInmates Program during the regu-lar summer session.

In addition, the Intersessionoffers an opportunity to provideinnovative educational ex-periences to law students.

The work is difficult. Onecourse, for instance, had twomeetings (11/2 hours each) everyday, with lengthy study assign-ments for each. But most partici-pants relish the chance to con-centrate on one subject withoutother distracting demands.

By Sue l. Center, Director

Center staff Barbara Meyer, Sue Center, Cynthia May.

It is 8:15A.M.The telephone atthe Criminal Justice Referenceand Information Center rings anda caller explains that he has beenappointed to a citizen's committeecharged with the responsibility ofscreening applicants for the posi-tion of town policeChief.Does theCriminal Justice Center have anyinformation or standards thatmight serve as guidelines for hiscommittee? The Librarian takingthe call responds affirmativelyand promises to send thematerials on loan that same day.

Child abuse; hollow pointbullets; adolescent suicide; bat-tered women; halfway house pro-grams for juveniles, women,alcoholics, and ex-offenders;policepolicymanuals; and defenseof drunk driving cases are but afew of the thousands of topicsabout which people have re-quested information at the Crimi-nal Justice Center. Locatedon thefirst floor of the Law Library, thisspecialized lending library is com-prised of over 20,000volumes and350 periodicals on the criminaljustice system. It is open Mondaythrough Friday, from 7:45-4:30.The staff includes the Director,Sue Center; Cynthia May, incharge of Cataloging and Techni-cal Services; and Barbara Meyer,Public Services Librarian, all ofwhomgive reference first priority.This unique library, which isjointly supported by the LawSchool and the Governor's Office,is a prime example of the LawSchool's commitment to outreachand "The Wisconsin Idea" - theconcept of University service tothe entire State.

The collection is dividedinto se-venty broad subject areas. In-cluded among these are differenttypes of crime; police administra-tion, training, and education; ar-rest, search and seizure; pre-trialprocedure; sentencing; prosecu-tion and defense functions; jails;correctional programs; volun-teers; probation and parole;juvenile delinquency; juvenile cor-rections; civil disorders; alcohol-ism; and drug abuse. In addition tothis basic collection,special collec-tions include penal press publica-tions (inmate newspapers) fromcorrectional institutionsthroughout the United States,theses and dissertations, and localand state criminal justice agencystatistics and research reports.The Staff has devised its own sub-ject headings and classificationsystem which provide rapid, in-depth access to the wealth of in-formation available.

Last year the Center circulated4300 items in response to 1700re-quests for information. Approx-imately 50% of these requestswere from persons affiliated withthe University of WisconsinSystem, and 50% were frompatrons around the state workingin the field. This library is open toanyone with an interest in crimi-nal justice. User groups includepublic defenders and prosecutors,correctional personnel, inmates,social workers, law enforcementofficers, judges and their staffs,students and teachers, specialistsfrom the Wisconsin Council onCriminal Justice, libraries, com-mittees and task forces, andspecial interest groups.

Questions about the Center orreference requests may be submit-ted by mail (c/o Law School), bytelephone (608-262-1499), or inperson. The staff attempts toanswer all reference questions,but policy precludes engaging inlegal research or advice. Abrochure describing the Center isavailable upon request.

The new Dean of the North-western University Law School isDavid S. Ruder, Class of 1957. Anative of Wausau, Dean Ruderpracticed with the firm ofQuarles,Herriott and Clemons,Milwaukee,before joining the faculty atNorthwestern in 1961. He wasEditor-in-Chief of the WisconsinLaw Review, and elected a mem-ber of Coif.

Although reference is the mainfunction of the Center, other serv-ices are also provided for its users.Specialbibliographies ofmaterialscontained within the Center onparticular subjects are preparedupon request. Illustrations of re-cent compilations are crime andthe elderly, courthouse security,solitary confinement, and restitu-tion. In addition, two abstractingnewsletters, "Current CriminalJustice Literature" and "CurrentCorrections Literature" aremailed on a regular basis to lawenforcement and correctional per-sonnel, respectively. They providepatrons with a brief synopsis ofnew materials received by thelibrary which are available onloan. Another project imple-mented by the staff has been thecollection and dissemination ofcourt report advance sheets tothree correctional institutions InWisconsin.

The tempo shows all signs ofpicking up for the Fall. As part ofthe annual Fund Drive, beginningin late October, WLAAanticipatespublishing its first alumni directo-ry since 1953. The directory willbe available either as a premiumfor contributions or for purchase.Since the directory will be com-piled from our mailing list, if youwish to make any changes, pleasedo so now.

While summer is a traditionallyslow period at the Law School,theWLAA office has been alive withactivity. In June, we co-hosted thethird annual UW-Marquette LawAlumni Reception in conjunctionwith the State Bar of Wisconsin'sannual meeting. But for the un-derestimation of alumni appetites,coexistence reigned supreme, andwe look forward to a long con-tinuation of this event. The Alum-ni Association also acted as hostfor a reception at the annualmeeting of the State Bar ofArizona, thanks to the efforts ofWalter Raushenbush, who taughtthere last semester. The summerof receptions culminated in theABAreception at its annual meet-ing in Chicago. More than 100alums from around the countrymet and shared reminiscences.

EDWARD J. REISNER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WLAA

We cannot emphasize too oftenthe importance of the annualFund Drive. The cost of attendinglaw school continues to rise. Resi-dent tuition this year tops $1,000,while non-resident tuition is$3,272. The crisis in financial aidwillbe severe for second semesterunless the Fund Drive again sets anew record. While pleased withlast year's effort, compared toother schools, UW is not amongthe leaders in alumni support.Please help us.

Belle La Follette had a naturalinterest in law and lawyers. Sheworked closely with her husbandwhen he was Dane County districtattorney. As a collegegirl she wasa prize-winning debator as well asa brilliant student. She was awriter of great accomplishment, aleader of the suffrage movementand a founder of the Women's In-ternational League for Peace andFreedom. She was a founder andeditor of La Follette's Weeklywhich has become in our genera-tion the Progressive Magazine. Shewrote occasional briefs for herhusband during his few years ofpractice. Early in his career asDane County district attorney,La Follette, when praised by theChief Justice of Wisconsin for abrilliant brief, admitted to thecourt that it had been writtenfrom "start to finish" by his wife.

But she never practiced law.

Professor August G. Eckhardt,Professor of Law at the Universityof Arizona School of Law, Tucson,has written a glowing review ofProfessor Stuart Gullickson's re-cently published book, Structuringa General Practice Course, for theALI-ABA CLE Review. ProfessorEckhardt, during his long careeron the U.W. Law Faculty, wasdirector for a time of the U.W.Law Extension Program.

In her biography of her hus-band, Robert La Follette, Sr., BelleCase La Follette (class of 1885)seldom mentions herself. One ofher rare personal commentsfollows:When our first baby, Fola,was born, I was profoundlyhappy. During the first yearof infancy her care absorbedmy thought and time. I ex-perienced wonderful content-ment and restfulness of spirit,although I had never beentroubled over problems of acareer ... I am sure there isno inherent conflict in amother's taking good care ofher children, developing hertalents, and continuing towork along lines adapted tomotherhood and homemak-ing.Bob was the first to suggestthat I take the University ofWisconsin law course. It didnot require much urging toconvince me I could do sowithout neglecting my childand other home duties. Thecourse was then two years. Ientered in 1883 and was grad-uated in 1885, being the firstwoman to graduate from theUniversity of Wisconsin LawSchool.It appears that Belle La Follette

was misinformed. The earliestalumni directory lists Elsie M.Buck as a graduate in the class of1875; however, skimpy recordsprevent us from asserting withcertainty that she was the firstLaw School graduate. Buck mar-
