before the students various speakers who are connected with the legal profes- sion in some capacity. They have succeeded, to some degree, in calling to the attention of the students some of the practical problems which they will meet in the practice of the law. This phase of the Council's activity has served to encourage the formation of various clubs which will devote their attention to specific phases of the law. Presently functioning are a Criminal Law and a Labor Law Club. During the next year, we hope the student body will form other clubs with similar objectives. The organization of an employment unit for the purpose of contacting members of the alumni and also large organizations which employ people with legal training has been initiated by the Council. There is still much work to be done on this matter, but we feel that if it is successfully continued, it will be of assistanceto our present students. The record enrollment in all law schools throughout the country underscores the need for an employment unit. On the social side, we had our first Spring Dance at the Hotel Vanderbilt which gave our long suffering spouses and friends an opportunity to meet the students they had heard so much about. We hope that all these activities will be continued and that other 'suggestions of merit will be developed in the future. The effective work of tl3ouncil could not have been accomplished with- out an integrated membership which worked together as a unit, and for the most part, enthusiastically helped to make our various activities successful. We extend our thanks to the individual students who supported our efforts thereby indicating their interest through active participation. Without the support and interest of the student body, the Student Council would have little significance in the affairs of the school. It is to be hoped that in the coming years, the students will continue to give the Council their active support, and in return the Council will give that kind of program which will be vital to the students. page Flff-j'f!71E'6 cgfze 1948 Gfianceffof

l . Student Council DURING the war years, the activities of the Student Council were neces- sarily curtailed. In 1945 under the leadership of Irwin Taylor, who was then president of the Student Council, a program of activity was started which has gained momentum with each succeeding year. In 1946 William Foley, and in 1947 jere Sullivan, continued this good work until once more the Student Council has become an important factor in Brooklyn Law School. It may be of interest to those who knew them that Irwin Taylor is now a member of our faculty, Bill Foley is an assistant district attorney in Kings County, and jere Sullivan is resident counsel to American Chicle Company. Witlmout the active help and co-operati-on which we have received from Vice Dean Jerome Prince, we would have been unable to make the Student Council the force in the school which it is today. The sympathetic understandf ing and interest of our faculty advisor, Professor Martin Weyrauch, has been of great help in meeting the various problems which have arisen.
