Library Officially Opened at Law Weekend The $1.5 million Library addition to The T. C. Williams School of Law officially opened Saturday, October 24, 1981. The opening ceremony - just one of many events which occurred during Law Weekend - featured The Honorable M. Ray Doubles, L'26, dean of law emeritus and professor of law emeritus, as the program's guest speaker.

The new four-level addition took over two years to complete and provides over 16,000 square feet of new space. The addition includes carrel-type seating for 65% of the student body and additional seats for those who use the library. The opening ceremony also included the "unveiling" of a special donor plaque recognizing those donors who gave $1,000 or more to the Law School Capital Campaign.

Many changes are occurring within the Law School and every effort is being made to report on these changes.

There are, however, a great many other developments, both within and without the Law School, that are of interest to alumni, friends, faculty and students. Readers are, therefore, encouraged to submit items of general interest, of either news or commentary value, for publication.

The Newsletter is published for alumni/ae, parents and friends of The T. C. Williams School of Law by the University Development Office.

The 1980-81 Law Fund Report Our $65,000 Goal Was Surpassed Chairman's Message The 1981 Law School Annual Giving Campaign was a great success. This will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the loya lty of our Law School alumni, the dedication of a sma ll group of volunteers, and the persistence of Dean Edmonds and Jon Tracy, who mobilized this most successf ul fund-raising effort, by far , in our history.

Forty percent of our alumni (more than twice any previous level of participation) contributed over $70,000 towards a fund to provide scholarships for our deserving law students. Prior to the 1981 campaign, we never have raised more than $38,000.

To those whose generosity made possible this historic achievement, our heartfelt thanks. Our very special appreciation is due C. Daniel Stevens, J. Waverly Pulley, Charles F. W itth oefft, and Joseph P. Massey, who worked tirelessly and unselfishly throughout the campaign. Finally, I am pleased to acknowledge our appreciation to the University administration and President Heilman for making available the resources and staff support to enable us to launch our own independent fund-raising campaign effectively, thus giving us the oppo rtunity to demonstrate that law school alumni are indeed a special, but loyal, part of the University family.

The next campaign will be under the able leadership of Carle E. Davis, John S. Barr, James C. Roberts, Douglas W. Conner, Lucretia C. Irby, and Stephen D. Busch. With the cost of a law school education escalating so dramatically each year and the consequent competition among law schools for quality students, the challenge is before us. We all want our Law School to maintain its rightful place among the nation's best. May each of us resolve to do our part, when the call comes, to keep it there.

From the Dean

----.-Jllf.

Thomas A. Edmonds

As the 1981-82 academic year gets under way, I am struck with the realization that this will be the 5th year in which I have been privileged to serve as your Dean. In looking back over the last

four years, the progress which we have all made together is apparent, yet I am satisfied that the problems and opportunities which lie ahead, both for our law school and for legal education in general, will continue to provide us with ample challenges to our imagination, intellect and resourcefulness.

In the areas of admissions, placement and faculty recruitment and retention, for example, it is clear that serious difficulties loom on the horizon. While our law school has continued to out-perform alarming adverse national trends in all of these areas, we will have to protect our enviable position in the future by redoubling our efforts and devoting more adequate resources to these aspects of our program.

On the admissions front , we have experienced steady growth over the past 3 years in the number of applications received by the law school, and there has been a corresponding improvement in the credentials of our entering class each year. For the class which entered this fall, we received a total of almost 1, 100 applications; and the apparent qualifications for the study of law possessed by the 155 students who enrolled are unsurpassed by any prior class.

Our limited recruiting efforts to date and the reputation and quality of our academic program have clearly served us well, and it might appear that little needs to be done in this area. The problem, however, lies in the demographics of the coming decade, along with the fact that many law schools have been established or expanded over the past decade in response to the surge in demand for legal education. The number of college-aged persons in the populations of Virginia and the other mid-Atlantic states from which we have traditionally attracted most of our students is expected to decline precipitously during the next 10 years, and it is obvious that the number of persons seeking to attend law school is

also likely to be sharply curtailed. Accordingly, unless we are prepared to see the size and quality of our applicant pool dramatically diminished, it will be necessary for us to enhance our recruiting program and continue to encourage our alumni to strongly recommend the school to well-qualified applicants.

Similarly, with regard to placement opportunities for law school graduates the future is problematic. The number of lawyers in the United States has almost doubled in the last ten years, and the total number is expected to exceed 750,000 by the end of this decade. Compounding problems of over supply in the profession generally are the current cutbacks at both the federal and state levels which have sharply reduced the number of law school graduates being employed by federal and state agencies. Once again, primarily because of the effective job done by our placement office and the loyalty of our alumni who tend to look primarily to our law school in satisfying their placement needs, our graduates have been better off from a placement standpoint than law school graduates generally across the country. In order for this to continue to be the case, we will all have to remain alert and sensitive to the needs of our students and the placement opportunities which become available in our area, and we will have to provide additional resou rces for our placement office for development and promotional purposes.

The final area of concern which I would like to share relates to the matter of attracting and retaining a high quality full-time faculty in the future. Here again, I feel we have been fortunate in assembling and keeping a very able and talented group of full-time faculty members. Our young people currently on the faculty are working out extremely well, and we have sound leadership on the part of our senior faculty in both the areas of effective classroom teaching

and scholarly and professional accomplishment. With the ever in creasing number of lawyers in the country, one would think that the future would portend a buyer's market insofar as hiring new faculty is concerned. The fact is, however, that employment opportunities have never been better or more lucrative than they are currently for the best and the brightest law school graduates, from whose ranks we have traditionally sought to recruit our full-time faculty members. Indeed, the salary disparity between top graduates who have chosen to enter and remain in private practice and those who have opted for the academic community is growing so great that many people路 involved with legal education in the country are predicting great difficulty for most law schools in the future in attracting and retaining well-qualified faculty members. It is absolutely essential that we continue to work toward a salary structure and working conditions at our law school which will at least minimize, if not completely prevent this prediction from becoming a reality for us.

On balance, I would say that we have a sound program in almost every respect at this point, and the agenda for the next decade will be to preserve, nurture and strengthen that program. I look forward to the task at hand with great confidence, in no small part because of the strong role which many of you will play in assisting and further improving the law school.

Thomas A. Edmonds Dean

A Word From The Law School Association President Our Law School is entering the 1980's with an excellent ouilding and a strong Dean, who has great plans for the school's future. The appointment of Dean Thomas Edmonds several years ago met with a favorable response from the bench and bar, the faculty and the student body. Under his leadership, the Law School has achieved and sustained good momentum. Our physical facility has improved rapidly in recent years, our library has grown, the faculty and course offerings have expanded, the quality of the entering student body has steadily improved, and our applications John G. Rocovich. Jr .. '67 for admission continue to in crease, contrary to the national trend of law school admission applications, which has been moving sharply in the opposite direction in recent years.

In addition, the school employs a full -time placement officer and now has the benefit of a development director, both of whom have had significant impact on the Law School's progress.

Certainly, we are moving in the right direction. As you are no doubt aware this momentum is principally the result of our Dean,

Tom Edmonds, who in my opinion is second to none so far as law school deans are concerned.

However well things are going, the school still needs significant help from the alumni. In order to strenghten and improve our school further, it is essential to have strong alumni support. This need is especially evident since our body of living alumni is small.

We should be able to accomplish Dean Edmonds' objectives, providing that the Law School Association does its part.

During recent years, we have helped fund building additions, additional scholarships, a faculty chair and other special events.

We must continue to support these programs in order to compete with other law schools for the best available faculty and students.

Since legislative appropriations support three of our competitors, the cost gap in attending our school and the state supported schools is widening. Consequently, an increasing share of the burden will continue to fall on the law alumni.

With our solid support, the Law School's reputation for excellence will continue to attract good students , some of whom will be our own sons and daughters, and it will continue to graduate the outstanding young lawyers who will become our future

Law Firms

1980-81 Class Agent Roster

The Law School extends a special word of appreciation to the partners and members of the following Virginia law firms that in 1980-8 1 supported the ongoing effort to increase the scholarship and financial aid resources for law students by providing annual or endowed firm scholarships:

Initiated last year, the class agent system was chiefly respon sible for doubling the law school's alumni participation in one year.

The class agent system has an alumnus/ alumna from each class serve as a class agent, or representative. These agents contacted their classmates in the spring with an individual letter. By incorporating the class agent system into the development program, an effective avenue of communication was opened to our alumni . It is our hope that the more informed alumni are, the more they will ¡respond when contacted by representatives of the law school and their classmates.

J. Waverly Pulley, Ill, '72, served as the chairman of this phase of the 1980-81 Law Fund campa ign. Listed below are the individuals who volunteered their time and energy to help establish this program. Their results speak for themselves:

Admission Report

by Jean Morris Tarpley

New & returning law students enjoy a get-acquainted picnic during the first week of classes.

Jean M. Tarpley

Dual Degree Programs With V.C.U. The Law School currently offers 2 "Dual Degree" programs . In the Dual Degree programs a student may earn 2 degrees which would normally involve a 5 year ed uca tional commitment, in only 4 years . These Dual Degree programs are being offered in cooperation with the Virgin ia Commonwealth University Graduate Schools of Social W ork and Urban Studies and Planning, respectively. These programs were designed to attract a few highly motivated stu dents. Students enrolled in these programs are permitted to count one semester's work in the law school towa rd ¡ meeting the degree requirements in the respective grad uate schools and vica versa.

The Juris Doctor and Master in Social Work Program began in the Fall of 1979. Graduates of this program wi ll, of course, demonstrate competency in both law and social work. This competency is applicable to areas of practice drawing upon knowledge and skills from each of these fields. It is expected that this program will bring together not only persons sensitive to both the legal and human elements in social and personal dysfunctions, but also two fields that call for certain similar as well as different kinds of knowledge and skills directed toward resolving human problems. This effort to integrate education in law and social work will draw on the contributions each can make to a professional

14

base for practice in both fields.

Seven students are currently enrolled in the J.D .-M .S. W . program.

The co ncept underlying the Dual Degree Program in Law and Urban Studies and Planning addresses socia l and economic concerns through institutions which shape the direction of urban change. Whil e lawyers are often concerned with the impact of leg islation and judicial decisions on groups and individuals, planners concentrate on social, econom ic, and political impacts on land use with the aid of legal strategies to guide commun ity growth and development.

The Master of Urban Stud ies and Regional Planning and Juris Doctor dualdegree program integrates these two professional curricula to provide the necessary expertise to app ly legal and planning ana lysis to the resolution of urban and regional policy issues and problems.

One student is enrolled in the J .D.M.U.R.P. program, which was begun in 1980.

The Law School and The E. Claiborne Robins School of Bu siness of the University of Richmond are currently working to develop a third Dual Degree Program , the J.D.-M.B.A. program .

It is hoped that such a program will be approved for the Fa ll of 1982.

Law School applicants continue to be on the rise with an increase of 67 this year over last year's 1,013 applications . Many outstanding applicants are seeking admission, which gives the Committee on Admissions a tough job!

We contin ue to add undergraduate institutions to our list of those to be visited by representatives of the school. Through these calls, correspondence and visits , our contacts with these schools have become more personal. The result has been that we are drawing students from a wider range of schools and backgrounds geographically.

We add, however, that approximately three-quarters of our students are sti ll Virginia residents .

An interesting fact to note is the average age of our stu dents is now about 26 years. This reminds us of th e early 50's when the World War II veterans were re, turning and entering the school.

For those of us who have long served the school, it makes us proud to see the accomplishments of so many who have gone from our law school out into the profession. The student body has vastly c hanged over the years, not only in size but in gender! Our average total enrollment each year numbers approximately 425, of which one-third are women.

We are delighted with our facilities, which now very adequately accommodate these students, and we urge you, if you have not already done so, to come and visit the new library addition just comp leted in July - where, hopefully, you will find a student in every carrel!

If you wish to borrow books,

Federal Civil Practice Seminar Series The Hon. John D. Butzner, Jr. , The Hon . Robert R. Merhige, Jr., and The Hon. D. Dortch Warriner head the list of outstanding speakers for the FEDERAL CIVIL PRACTICE AND LITIGATION Seminar Series being presented by The T . C. Williams School of Law of the University of Richmond from September 15 through November 10, 1981. This Continuing Legal Education Program will consist of nine separate two-hour lectures to be offered each Tuesday night from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

The intensive and advanced course of study is designed both for practicing attorneys with previous limited experience in federal civil litigation, and for those attorneys with more extensive federal court experience who are interested in keeping abreast of the most recent developments in the area of federal practice.

Other speakers during the course of the seminar series will include James C. Roberts, Lewis T. Booker, Wilbur C. Allen, George E. Allen Ill, William K. Slate, Robert P. Geary, W. Carter Younger, James P. McElligott, and Professor W . Clark Wil liams, Jr. The course of study will focus on the most frequently encountered areas of difficulty in federal litigation, including jurisdictional problems , pleading and motion practice, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and appellate practice and procedure.

Due to the popularity of this seminar, the Law School will be video taping the entire seminar series. Those individuals or groups wishing more information may contact Professor W. Clark Williams, Jr., or Beverly D. Boone, Placement Director, The T. C. Williams School of Law, University of Richmond, Virginia 23173, or by telephone at (804) 285-6337.

One new feature of the library which has aroused particular interest is the acquisition of LEXIS. For those of you who are not familiar with LEXIS, it is a computerized

legal research system marketed by Mead Data Corporation. Access to LEXIS will greatly enhance the educational experience of our students as well as the research capacity of our faculty . Because of our special educational rates, it may be used for educational purposes only and may not be used by outside practitioners .

Judge M. Ray Doubles Presented Distinguished Service Award Former Dean M. Ray Doubles, L'26, was honored by the Student Bar Association during the Official Opening ceremony of the new Library addition. Steven E. Farrar, L'82, President of the Student Bar Association, presented the Student Bar Association's Distinguished Service Award to the ceremony's guest speaker, Judge M. Ray Doubles.

Judge Doubles received his LL. D from the Law School and became a member of the faculty that same year. He holds the distinction of being the second person in the history of the Law School to officially hold the position of Dean, a position he assumed in 1930. In 1947, after seventeen years as Dean, Judge Doubles resigned to accept an appointment as Judge to the Richmond Hastings Court, Part II. After retiring from the bench in 1965 he rejoined the faculty at T. C. Williams as an associate professor and taught courses in Administrative Law and Criminal Procedure. Judge Doubles officially retired from the faculty in June, 1971, but returned in September to serve as Acting Dean of the Law School, due to illness and subsequent passing of his close friend and associate, Dean William T. Muse.

The Student Bar Association Distinguished Service Award was funded by an anonymous donor who approached the Student Bar Association in the spring of

Ten 1981 graduates were selected for judicial clerkships. It is an honor to be chosen for such a position and the Law School wishes to congratulate these men and women and to identify them to our alumni.

The Student Bar Association made a contribution to the Law School Scholarship Endowment Fund in the name of Judge M. Ray Doubles, in addition to presenting him with a certificate commemorating his selection.

Student Bar Association

by Stephen E. Farrar

The Student Bar Association begins the new school year intent on strengthening the ties between the law students and the undergraduate students at the University of Richmond.

Because of the location of the Law School on the campus, and the great academic demands placed upon our students, there has been a decreasing emphasis on involvement with the general University.

In appreciation to the following reun ion chairmen, the Law School Association Council expresses its gratitude for their efforts and fine job in organizing the 1981 reunions :

Class Reunions The law alumni from eleven classes met during Law Weekend to reestablish and enjoy an old tradition that was lost during the 1970s.

Reunion dinners for classes dating back to 1916 on 5-year intervals were held at various locations around the City of Richmond. Each reunion was individually organized by a member ot the class, who selected the reunion location, wrote individual letters and even placed calls to as far away as California to assemble their classes.

The Law School Association Council, which sponsored and encouraged the class reunions was extremely pleased with the feedback tram alumni who attended the class reunions. John G. Rocovich, Presi-
