EDITORS NOTE: One of thetreasures of this Law School is amarvelous collection of photo-graphs. I have been using thesepictures for front and back coversof the Gargoyle apparently to theenjoyment of alumni who oftenwrite for copies. Since the finalstory in the last issue related toathlete-lawyers, I chose a "filler"picture showing a Law Schoolbaseball team from the past.Never did I guess the amount ofinterest this picture would gener-ate. Calls and letters came fromacross the country protesting theabsense of a caption or proposingtheir own. While I do apologize forany annoyance I may havecaused, it does seem that I havehit on a high interest feature forthe magazine. Whenever possibleI intend to fill the back page witha mystery photo. Sometimes theywill come from the pile with nocaptions, sometimes from the pilewith a few hints as to origin. I in-vite you to help us fill in theblanks; your contributions will bereported in succeeding issues. Thepicture on this issue's back coverhas no caption although the loca-tion is clearly the old Law Build-ing.

The correct caption for the nowfamous picture from Vol. 11, No.3is:Front Row: (left to right) Al

DEAN'S ANNUAL REPORT

This is a slightly revised versionof the report given orally by DeanHelstad at the Spring Programluncheon on Saturday, April 19.Ed.

Last year when I reported to youat this time, I said that thegeneral state of the Law Schoolcan be described as healthy. Thatstatement remains true today, butI hasten to add that that does notmean we do not have any prob-lems.

With regard to finances, for ex-ample, inflation continues to takeits toll with us as with most every-one else. Funds for purchase ofbooks for the Law Library weredepleted well before the end of thefiscal year even though we hadnot accelerated our rate of bookpurchasing. And shortly beforethis issue of the Gargoyle went topress, the Governor was consider-ing imposing a cut of two to fourpercent in the budget of all stateagencies because of the slownessof the economy and the conse-quent decline in state tax revenue.These fiscal stringencies ob-viously pose serious problems forthe Law School as well as formany others.

With regard to Law School per-sonnel, I reported to you last yearthat we had lost two faculty mem-bers through retirement and twothrough transfer to other jobs orschools. We hired one new facultymember last year (KathrynPowers) and have hired one so farthis year. He is Thomas Palay, arecent graduate of the Universityof Pennsylvania Law School, whowill be teaching Torts next falland Property in the spring. Wewill have two visiting professorson board next year, and we still

have an offer out to one person fora permanent position. We givehigh priority to our goal of assem-bling a faculty which is second tonone in terms of a combination ofteaching and research excellence,and I am sure I will have furtherdevelopments to report to younext year.

In the area of administration, Iam pleased to report that Profes-sor Stuart Gullickson has agreedto serve full time as AssociateDean and that Joan Rundle, a re-cent graduate of the Law Schoolwith prior experience in counsel-ing work was appointed lastAugust as Assistant Dean for stu-dent affairs.

Faculty members continue toengage in a variety of scholarlypursuits in addition to their teach-ing. Three conferences co-hostedby the Law School last spring willserve to illustrate this point.

On April 10-12, the Law Schooland the Institute for Research inthe Humanities cosponsored theSecond Burdick-Vary Symposium.The subject this year was "TheFormation of States in Historyand Theory". Professor WarrenLehman of the Law School playeda leading role in organizing thesymposium.

On May 23 and 24, the LawSchool helped sponsor a con-ference on Law and Psychiatry.Professor Leonard Kaplan wasresponsible for organizing thisconference.

On June 5-8, the Law andSociety Association held its an-

nual meeting in Madison. Scholarsfrom all over the world with an in-terest in research on law and itsrelationship to society attendedthe meeting. Professor StewartMacaulay of the Law School had amajor role in organizing thismeeting and its program. Severalother law faculty members alsoparticipated.

The student body continues tobe a diverse group but almostuniformly a group with very highacademic qualifications. The me-dian undergraduate grade pointaverage of entering classes con-tinues to range around 3.5 and themedian Law School AdmissionTest Score around 650. Thesefigures no doubt would be some-what higher except for the factthat our admissions standardsdeliberately emphasize other fac-tors such as diversity of ex-perience and various indicators ofprobable motivation apart fromgrade point average.

The diversity of the studentbody is apparent from a variety ofstandpoints. At least 25% of thestudents range in age from 28years and up. It is apparent thatmany of them have had ex-periences which will enrich notonly their own educational ex-perience in law school but alsothat of many of the other law stu-dents and perhaps also of the lawfaculty. About 40%of the law stu-dents now are women, and about 6or 7% are from racial minoritygroups.

3

For all practical purposes, therehas been no slackening of the de-mand for legal education. For nextfall, we have 1,565 applicants forabout 285 places in the enteringclass, an increase of somewhatover 100applicants from last year.The time may come when we willneed to worry about havingep.ough qualified applicants, butftom the standpoint of this LawSchool that time does not seem tobe just around the corner.

The excess of well qualified ap-plicants we have faced during re-cent years has not been an unmix-ed blessing from our perspective.Personally, I have always valuedmy opportunity to attend lawschool so highly that I have strongempathy for any qualified personwho is denied the opportunity.Quite apart from that personalreaction, it is clear that difficultinstitutional problems also stemat least in part from the fact thatwe had to deny admission to somany well qualified applicantsduring the past decade. It isalmost bound to have had an ad-verse effect on our relations withour alumni, the bar and the publicgenerally. I believe it also hassomething to do with recent ex-pressions of concern on the part ofthe Legislature about part-timeand evening program oppor-tunities. Of course, part-time orevening program opportunitiesare not going to solve this prob-

4

lem; only substantial increases inthe capacity of this Law School orthe creation of another LawSchool in the state would begin tomeet the problem.

As many of you know, theWisconsin Legislature last sum-mer adopted a law which wouldhave required the Law School toinstitute a full scale evening pro-gram. Through a vigorous efforton the part of the Law Schoolfaculty and administration andwith important support from anumber of our alumni, we man-aged to persuade the Governor topartially veto this law so that wewould not have to go into a fullscale evening program withoutsome rather firm indication ofneed for it and assurance of fi-nancing to maintain quality in ourprograms. The law as adopteddoes, however, require us to offerpart-time opportunities and eve-ning courses to those admittedstudents who want them, thusenabling us to test the interest inpart-time and evening oppor-tunities. In each semester of thisyear, we have scheduled somefirst-year courses in the late after-noon and evening hours as well asearly in the morning and at noon.We are doing the same for1980-81. All persons offered ad-mission, and indeed all applicantsfor admission, were advised of thepart-time opportunities. To date,

the expression of interest has notbeen great, but it is too soon todraw any firm conclusions aboutthe extent of interest in the pro-gram.

Despite the large number of lawschool graduates (about 30,000each year on a national basis), ourgraduates continue to find law rel-ated jobs. The average startingsalary is close to $18,000 a year.About 40 to 45%of our graduatescontinue to take jobs in privatepractice. This has been the pat-tern for many years. Another 35%typically will go into a variety ofgovernment funded practice jobs,including district attorneys' of-fices and public defender offices.Probably 10%will end up workingfor business organizations. Job op-portunities in this latter areaseem to be increasing.

About 70% of our graduateslocate within Wisconsin. Our gra-duates plus the graduates of Mar-quette Law School and successfulbar exam candidates from out-of-state law schools increase thenumber of active lawyers in thisstate by about 6.5% annually.Although this means that theWisconsin bar is increasing in sizequite rapidly, it is well below theCalifornia growth rate of about10%or the national growth rate of8.5%

Let me now make a fewremarks about what happens bet-ween the time a student is admit-ted to Law School and the time heor she graduates and takes a job.During that time the student willhave earned a total of at least 90credits. The first year is devotedalmost entirely to requiredcourses designed to introduce thestudent to basic concepts of legalanalysis. The student takescourses in Civil Procedure, Crimi-nal Law and Procedure, Torts,Contracts and Property, in addi-tion to a course we call Legal Writ-ing. The student will have the op-portunity to be in one small sec-tion of 15 to 20 students in whichhe or she will be exposed to somelegal writing exercises as well asto the substantive or procedurallaw of the particular course. Otherclasses, as in the old days, arelikely to have 70 to 125 studentsenrolled.

In the second and third years,students have almost unlimitedfreedom to choose the coursesthey wish and in the order theywish to take them. It is true thatthe state Supreme Court about 10years ago imposed certain courserequirements on those studentswho wish to avail themselves ofthe diploma privilege (whichmeans almost all students). In thesecond and third years, these in-clude Constitutional Law, Evi-dence, Trusts and Estates, Juris-diction of Courts and ProfessionalResponsibilities. I think there is aconsensus, both among facultyand students, that most all ofthese are basic courses. Othercourses which, according to a re-cent survey, our faculty considersto be basic are Corporations, Tax-ation, Administrative Law, andCommercial Law. These also arecourses in which students enrollin great numbers.

About one third of the credithours offered each semester in thesecond and third year courses canbe considered to be clinicalcourses in the broad sense. In ad-dition to seven or eight differentclinical programs where the stu-dent is involved in client service,there are the simulation coursessuch as Trial Advocacy,Appellate

Advocacy, Client Counseling andGeneral Practice. One might alsoinclude such practice orientedseminars as Estate Planning andBusiness Planning.

In addition to the basic coursesand the clinical courses, a widevariety of seminars and courses inmore specialized aspects of thelaw are offered each semester.Altogether, about 30 courses and15 seminars are offered in a typi-cal semester for second and thirdyear students. Thus, it seems clearthat we offer a rich and variedcurriculum. I think it is also areasonably well balanced one. Thebar is not monolithic, and it seemsdesirable to afford students theopportunity to sample a widevariety of offerings and obtain atleast preliminary training for awide variety of lawyering roles.However, that issue, amongothers, is one which the facultywill have an opportunity to re-ex-amine in our forthcoming self-study.

Every six years or so, lawschools are required by accredita-tion agencies to undertake a so-called self-study to examine basicobjectives, methods to achievethem and allocation of resourcesfor achieving them. Our LawSchool is about to embark uponsuch a study. I anticipate that thebackground papers will be com-pleted this summer and that thestudy will be completed in a con-centrated period of two to threemonths next fall. Some workalready has been done. For exam-ple, we have had a committeestudying our Legal Writing Pro-gram for the past couple ofmonths, and on May 1 and 2 aTask Force of experts from otherUniversities and from practicecame to the Law School to help usmake a preliminary evaluation ofour continuing legal educationprograms.

Students and alumni, as well asfaculty, win be represented on theself-study committee. Among thequestions which will ultimately beexamined are: What are our basicobjectives and what ought they tobe? Where do we need moreresources in order to do an effec-tive job? Howcan webetter utilizethe resources we have? More

specifically, we probably will beasking ourselves such questionsas: Are we· getting our money'sworth out of the first year smallsection program? Do we needmore structure in the second andthird year curriculum? Should webe devoting more resources toclinical courses? or less? Can theskills training goals of clinicaleducation be achieved as effec-tively through the simulationcourses as through the usuallymore expensive client servicecourses? These are the kinds ofquestions which should get us"back to basics", I am sure theywill generate spirited debate and,I hope, some consensus. At thesame time, I do not expect anyrevolutionary changes in our pro-grams to result from the study.

Perhaps former President,Chancellor and Dean EdwinYoung was right when he said re-cently in a speech:

As a dean, I encouraged thecollege to have a curriculumreview committee that wentinto exhaustive argumentswhether it is three courses inFrench or two courses inSpanish and what equalsmathematics. They came outwith a new curriculum. Itwasn't any better than theold one; maybe by my lights,not quite as good.But by theprocess 30 to 40 facultymembers renewed their in-terest in teaching and whatthey had been doing.Although Ed Young was mak-

ing the major point to a group ofUniversity administrators thatthey ought not be hesitant to in-volve faculty in university gover-nance, the narrower point ofrenewed enthusiasm for teachingresulting from such involvementalso is important. College teach-ing, including law school teaching,often is a lonely occupation, and itis important to periodically in-volve faculty members in studiesfocusing on the broader objectivesof the educational enterprise. I amconfident, however, that this willnot be the only benefit derivedfrom the self-study. I look forwardto giving you a further report onthis matter next year at this time.

1979·80 FUND DRIVE REPORT

Like the Greek god of thetheater this year's Alumni FundDrive report both smiles andfrowns. The good news is in facttwo-fold: the total amount of con-tributions increased for the sec-ond year in a row and reached thesecond highest total in the elevenyear history of the Drive. Theaverage contribution jumped to anall time high of almost $250 percontributor, a truly remarkableamount. Readers with mathemati-cal minds can see in these twofacts our cause for concern. Con-tinuing a four year slump, thenumber of alumni showing theirsupport for this Law Schooldeclined to 461 this year, or about7%of all alumni. Our largest num-ber of contributors, in 1966, was

666, or about 12%.While that rateof participation is itself not partie-ularily impressive, it was almosttwice the current rate. If moregave a little, a few would not haveto give so much.

Many private law schools, withwell established traditions ofvoluntary giving, achieve four orfive times our rate of participa-tion. A few public law schools con-sistantly do that well. In a time ofinflation and reduced governmen-tal funding, all law schools arebeing forced to place moreemphasis on voluntary supportprograms. As we reexamine ourAlumni Fund Drive and otherfund raising efforts, you, ouralumni, are going to hear morefrom us concerning our needs and

the ways you can help.One other note about this year's

results: we are encouraged by thehelp received from our youngeralumni. The number of givers outof school ten years or less matchesany other lO-year group despitethe fact that they have loweraverage incomes and higherdebts. These younger alumni havealso demonstrated their continuedinterest in their School in otherways. The Class of 1975 held alively 5th reunion at this year'sSpring Program and raised a classgift for the school.

With such help and with ourown rededication of effort in fundraising the future may be asbright as the past has been.Thank you for your assistance.

ON THE liGHTERSIDE

Finding a job can be a troublingtask for a law student. Those whoare successful are usually thosewho best keep a sense of humorabout the process. Believe it or notthere are things to laugh about inplacement, no matter what yourperspective. One interviewer re-ported an incident several yearsago where a candidate entered theroom, dropped to his knees andasked, "Wouldit help if! begged?"

That applicant might havereceived the followingletter whichoriginally appeared in an ABALaw Student Division publication:

Smith, Anderson, Milton & JonesPlaza Building

Washington, DC 20000Mr. William L. FangThe Law SchoolSomewhere, USDear Mr. Fang:

I was glad to have metwith you recently to discussthe possibility of a summerclerkship with our firm. Weappreciate your interest butregret that we are not able toask you to continue the in-terview process.

As I am sure you realize,an attorney's time is ex-tremely valuable and a mem-ber of a firm has a respon-sibility both to himself andhis associates to be frugal inits expenditure. The im-mense expense of interview-ing the large number of jobapplicants we see each year,therefore, must be justifiedin some way. As to those stu-dents whose grades, ex-tracurricular activities andpersonalities make them at-tractive prospectiveemployees, we tend to viewthe expense as an invest-ment in the firm's future,whether we eventually hire aparticular individual or not.Others give us invaluable in-sight into the changingnature of legal education and

14

the profession as a whole.Still others present us withan opportunity for invigorat-ing and refreshing dialogue,the value of which we feelshould not be discounted.

However, on the rare occa-sion when we interview astudent whose credentials,demeanor, conversation, ap-pearance and backgroundcan in no way justify theamount of time expended onhis behalf, we are certainthat you will agree that it isonly fair that student bebilled for the reasonablevalue of that time.Therefore, please findenclosed our bill for $24.68(twenty-four dollars and six-ty-eight cents), figured at anhourly rate of $50 (fifty dol-lars) and including secre-tarial, mailing and othercosts.

Best wishes for yourfuture professional success.

Sincerely yours,Fred R. Milton

CARTER TAPSJONES

Prof. James E. Jones, Jr. hasbeen selected by President Carterto chair a special panel designedto resolve disputes between theMerit Systems Protection Board,which guards the rights of personsunder the civil service system, andthe Equal Employment Oppor-tunity Commission, which in-vestigates employment dis-crimination cases.

NEW YORK AREARECEPTION

Thursday, May 15, 1980 found asmall but enthusiastic group ofNew York area alumni meetingfor lunch at the Wall Street Club.Organized by Edward L. Levine('52), the group heard DeanHelstad report on the status of theLaw School. Eighteen alumni at-tended and another 27 indicatedtheir interest in future functions.There are about two hundredalumni in the greater New Yorkarea.

A few senior alumni reportedthat such gatherings, often on aninformal basis, were more com-mon in years past. R. WorthVaughan ('28) remembers that agroup used to gather for lunch ev-ery Monday. "Sometimes therewere as few as two, sometimes sixor eight," he recalls.

One of those who could not at-tend would have won the prize forcoming the farthest if he had.John N. Kramer, Jr. ('68) wrotefrom his firm's office in AbuDhabi that he hopes to join thegroup after he is rotated back toNew York. We all hope he returnswith a few barrels of oil.
