Text from Pages 1 - 30 of the 1949 volume:

STATEMENT OF THE FACTS HE WORD Prolocuzor, according to Webster, means one who speaks for the group. In England, this oflice belongs to the Lord Chancellor. As Lord Speaker of the House of Lords, he is the person through whom all measures passed by the House of Commons are communicated to the Upper House. We feel that it is a highly appropriate name for the student annual, and award full credit to Sam Gantt for his winning choice. We do feel that the Duke Proloczztor speaks for the group. Through the coopera- tion of both the faculty and the students, our plan has been success- ful, and the first issue of the annual, unique in Duke Law School history, is now in concrete form. While many problems were incurred in the process of getting the book out within such a limited time as we had, they melted away quickly, when confronted with the determination of the staff to get to press on time. In particular we are indebted to Cliff Benson, President of the Duke Bar Association, Bob Wilson, our capable photographer, and E. D. Fowler of the Seeman Printery for their invaluable aid, and to Dean Harold Shepherd, whose timely help and friendly counsel contributed greatly toward making this annual possible. It is our sincerest hope that we have presented to you a fair and accurate picture of the Law School year to the fullest extent possible, and that you will occasionally in future years End pleasure in recalling to mind the episodes, trials and triumphs of this academic year. We will feel Well rewarded, indeed, if such objective be fulfilled.

O3 f ' A HAROLD SHEPHERD EAN SHEPHERD came to Duke Law School as a Professor of Contracts in 1939, already an eminent, nationally recognized author- ity in this held. Prior to this time he had served as Dean of the University of Wyoming and Uni- versity of Washington Law Schools. He had held professorships at various other leading universi- ties including Stanford Where he will again ac- cept a position as Professor of Contracts next fall. In 1941 Dean Shepherd was elected President of the American Association of Law Schools, and assumed the duties of Dean of the Duke Law School in 1947. While these are notable achievements, and though it cannot be doubted for a moment, that his loss will be a great one from a professional standpoint alone, yet it is to his students a per- sonal loss and one which will be keenly felt. As a tall and dignified scholar, he commanded their respect. I-Iis patient and thorough lectures in Contracts will remain a landmark to each of them. But it is his willingness to give friendly counsel on any and all student problems, and his unique personal charm that will not be soon for- gotten. Under the guidance of Dean Shepherd, the Law School has expanded greatly in enrollment, the curriculum has been completely modernized, and the graduate program has been established and expanded. This has all been accomplished in the face of difficult, sometimes almost insur- mountable post-war problems. lt was with the greatest regret and a deep sense of personal loss that the students of the Law School learned of the resignation of Dean Shep- herd.- While all their good wishes go with him to his new position at his alma mater, their re- gret at his leaving cannot he easily disguised. Dean Shepherd has indeed left his mark upon the Duke Law School. PAGE 3 W. BRYAN BOLICI-I IOHN S. BRADWAY EDWIN C. BRYSON BRAINERD CURRIE ROBERT KRANIER ELVIN R. LATTY S YOU turn into that part of life's highway where the shadows are looking toward the east, you might glance back from your ever as- cending position on this road through the valley of life to recall that first hill-Duke Law School. There, through the haze of time, you will be able to distinguish fourteen men who helped you over that rise and on to greater heights. Let.'s look back a moment .... You remember Mr. Bradway. Marriage is a good thing was his favorite dictum. He was a jolly fellow, who was always busy, but never too busy to help you with your problems. Then there was Mr. Bolich, better known as the Baron. He wasn't a baron, of course. He was a real property professor with a language all his own. Pennsyltucky, as far as he was con- cerned, was a place where a notorious republi- can might lind himself in jail for tempting the court without getting a chance to trial before the immortal twelve. You never saw much of Mr. Bryson your first two years, but he was the sort of person whom everyone liked and wanted to know. You al- ways thought Of him as a prince of a fellow. PAGE 4 VicefChancello1's Mr. Currie was a quiet person who believed in the students asking the questions, a fact which was always less embarrassing than being asked, in Law School. Time was of the essence with Mr. Horack, one-time Dean and a fine old gentleman, who went on leave at the end of the 1948 year. You had jolly well better know the law when Mr. Kramer gave an exam. He hadn't been teaching much longer than you had been going to law school, but had already made a name as an excellent instructor, whom all admired for his keen mind. If and when the smoke cleared, you could see Mr. Latty, provided, of course, that number 23 was false which would conceivably result in num- ber 67's being tl'LlC. He was the man who could teach a week's accounting between pulls, and three years of it in two Weeks, along with a course in Agency. Cactus lack could always be depended on to attend our student functions, which we appreciated, especially when he brought I l CI-I1XRLES H. LIVENGOOD CPIfXRLES L. B.

After Mr. Livengood's course in criminal law you knew a good lawyer who could help you have your likeness removed from the Post Office Bulletin Board. A'S'pose you heard a splendid lecture in a class, which was concluded in the hall. S'pose that the lecturer was able to lean back in a chair, hold a notebook on his knee, eat lifesavers, clean his tie, and give one of the best darned lectures you ever heard all at the same time. Who would it be? Why, Mr. Lowndes. Has Maggs gotten you yet? Being gotten by Mr. Maggs was an experience you still re- member. You were certain that you had memo- rized Mr. Cardozo's opinion, but you hadn't caught the meaning of the last thirteen words in the second sentence, third complete paragraph at the bottom of page 761. You have silently thanked him many times since, however, for training you to read carefully. Uncle Mac, as Mr. McDermott was affection- ately known, pushed the law to you from the book and his sleeve. He was one of the best teachers you had, and a fine gentleman. Maestro Pemberton was the one who sought to make us realize the past, present, and future of every opinion and every set of facts. Mr. Stansbury always impressed you as having just stepped off King's Bench, and for that rea- son you called him Lord Stansburyf' Everyone, without exception, liked Mr. Stansbury, who could always be counted on to help the students with their problems. Mr. Wilson's task was to make you less pro- vincial and see beyond the backyard fence and into International Law, a job for which he was well suited. There they are, the men who have shared your triumphs and failures on this highway over which you have just passed. You were probably not aware of it, but they were there with you. For you see, in each of us there was a little of each of them. PAGE 5 Trial by Deposition HE LAST MILE-There is an impression among Hrst- and second-year students that third-year men are a sophisticated group who have left the world of briefing and reviewing to pass into an airy realm of easy contemplation. But in fact, pending graduates feel just as keenly as their first-year brothers the uncertainty that lies ahead. The Bar Examiners and the prospect of practice can engender the same feeling of inse- curity as the Casebook Method. As third-year men, they realize that they are to become the freshest of all freshmen-candidates to practice. But most of the third-year men look forward with anticipation rather than awe to the future. After all they have run their obstacle course from res ipsa to res gCSt21C, and whatever fate may bring to them it can never be so initially mysterious. Indeed an appearance of short-lived exaltation lf ludges in the Courts of Equity reached decisions only after long and careful considerrztion of zurirzcn de- positions. The law student undergoes a three-year trial, and professors decide his fate in each course after grading examination papers. may well be pardoned this battle-worn group as they receive their diplomas. BUT SOME GO FURTHER-Yet, a few hardy souls, for many reasons fnot too easily understood by a majority of their brethrenj elect to return to law school for a year of graduate study. Some want to teach, knowing that today a graduate degree is an almost essential prerequisite to this phase of the profession. Others desire a more thorough legal foundation, perhaps with an eye to specialization in some particular Held. As stu- dents their motives and ways of thinking differ on many things, but all are cognizant of the ad- vantages of possessing a graduate degree in law, whether in order to go into actual practice, teach, or enter the business world.

SECOND YEAR CLASS BEWILDERED AND AMAZED-Perhaps the most predominant and mutual characteristic of the first-year class as they enter Law School is their complete bewilderment. The first few classes do little more than increase their sense of apprehension at what is to come in the future. Lost in a Hgurative sea of queries, they scan the horizon frantically for a ray of light to illuminate The Law which they hope will carry them to the shores of certainty. But they are doomed to disappointment, as page one of Latty on Clzaltel Transactions aptly points out. Instead they are subjected to a series of questions hurled at them by the professor, they are confronted with dia- metrically opposed cases on indistinguishable fact situations fQueryPj. As beginners they have implicit faith in all that is in print. They accept case holdings as unimpeachable and the profes- sor's word as gospel. In short, they do not ques- tion, doubt or analyze. But as the first year draws to a close, the courses gradually ftoo damned graduallyj begin to take shape, and per- haps just a little more comprehending, a little better analyzing is theirs. The final exams mean perhaps of their their confidence again mounting momentarily, they face this last hurdle with grim determination, black coffee, and an ample supply of no-doze pills. the greatest test of the year, entire college careers. With ebbing away, their confusion THEY FIGHT ON-VVith.the beginning of the second term, the battle-hardened veterans return to find that while a few familiar faces are miss- ing from the classroom, a surprising number of their associates turned out to be quite a bit smarter than they had imagined. The second year of Law School is more or less an interim period. The newness of Law has barely worn off, and the threat of bar exams is still a distant one. They may do more work than they did in the prior year, but through improved study habits, more work is done in far less time. They are more critical of- dogmatic statements, whether made in books or by their professors. They feel a little more secure funtil examination timej and they have begun to think in legal terms, which is an accomplishment in itself.

In 1850 law was made available to seniors as part of their cultural education. Within twenty years it had been given departmental status. The present School of Law was founded in IQO4 upon an en- dowment established by Iames B. and Benjamin N. Duke with the distinguished and colorful Samuel Fox Mordecai as its first Dean. Trinity College blossomed into Duke University in 1924, and the Law School shared in the expansion. Iustin Miller, author of Miller on Criminal Law, became Dean in 1930, and the Law School grew even ITIOFC--IO include graduate work, the Legal Aid Clinic, the Practice Court, the Duke Bar Association, and the famous quarterly, Law and Contemporary Problems. As the activities of the Law School expanded, it was natural and necessary that they be put in PAGE I 2 Venue refers to :he place where the case is tried, and jur1'sd1'ezion is the power of the court to handle a particular case. This Law School has changed the venue and expanded its jurisdiction zuizlz the passage of time .... larger and larger containers. In its earliest days the Law School held its classes in the Washing- ton Duke Building and in the Library on what is now East Campus. In 1927 it went into larger quarters in the Carr Building, and three years later it moved to its present location on West Campus. The Law Building, like all other structures on Duke's West Campus, is in Tudor Gothic style of colorful Cambrian stone from the University quarries. It has space for the Law Library, Legal Aid Clinic, offices, classrooms, seminar rooms, and a courtroom equipped for trial court and appellate court sessions. Legal pioneering has been an everyday occur- rence in the Duke Law School since its inception. education It set the standard in Southern legal by being the Hrst to require two years of college as a prerequisite to entrance fthree required todayj. It was one of the Schools to use the case method as a basis of in- struction.

Below: The Legal Aid Clinic Class views a slide projection of an actual brief, in preparing to handle a practical legal problem. a Law School. Law and Contemporary Prob- lems is absolutely unique in the field of legal publications. This School was over fifteen years ahead of the American Bar Association in setting up its Bar Association for law students. The present administration, through appro- priate faculty committees, has proved that the pioneer spirit of the Law School is not merely a thing of the past. As of this year, the student body is benefiting from a revamping of the cur- riculum and teaching methods. Work in the public law field has been considerably expanded. Legal Research and Writing fa course required of all studentsj has been given renewed emphasis, and seminar work with the accent on planning and drafting of legal instruments has been added in the third year. On the eve of its transition from Trinity to Duke, the School of Law had four thousand books in its library. Five years later it had eleven thousand. Today, the Law Library contains over eighty-two thousand volumes and is the largest law school collection in the South. The Library receives every current legal periodical of general interest printed in the English language. Duke's internationally famous Legal Aid Clinic is a boon to those law students desiring a legal internship before stepping into private practice and to the poor in need of legal guid- ance. It is in effect an active law office offering the student funder supervisionj experience in interviewing actual clients, investigation of facts, preparing cases for adjustment or for trial in court, writing legal documents, briefing, and other tasks familiar to the practicing attorney. Approximately four hundred persons a year apply for the services of the Clinic. Only those applicants who are unable to pay counsel fees and cases where there is no opportunity for a contingent fee are accepted. Dr. Iohn S. Brad- Way has directed the Clinic since its founding. Absolutely unique in the field of legal publi- cations is the Law School's quarterly, Law am! Contemporary Problemr, which is edited by Pro- fessors Brainerd Currie, Robert Kramer, and Iohn Pemberton. It presents in each issue a sympo- sium on a problem of current importance, in PAGE 1 3 L r About-, left to right: Robert Rcnbert Wilson, I, Francis Paschal, Carl A. Hyldburg, Wallace H. McCown.

The circu- lation of this Well-known publication extends to lawyers, law libraries, general university libraries, industrial and financial concerns, and government agencies. Some university courses have been built around individual issues. . The lam-:ml of Legal Ezfucazion, the only jour- nal of its kind in the country, is edited at this Law School as the official organ of the Asso- ciation of American Law Schools. Professor Brainerd Currie, as Editor-in-Chief, and Profes- sor Robert Kramer, both of this Law School, head an impressive staff which includes such uotables as David F. Cavers of Harvard, Albert I. Harno of Illinois, and Elliot E. Cheatham of Columbia. The journal provides a clearinghouse for ideas and professional studies in the constantly expanding field of legal education. Dr. I. Francis Paschal has offices in the Law Building, but his job is that of Director of the PAGE I4 North Carolina Commission for the Improve- ment of the Administration of Iustice .... Dr. Robert R.

The wheels Within the wheels who help keep the Law School running smoothly are, of course, the ofiice girls. They help the professors, furnish students with reams of mimeographed materials, and brighten everyone's day with their friend- liness. The Duke Law School is a member of the Association of American Law Schools and is on the approved list of the American Bar Associa- tion. Its qualities have drawn students from more than thirty-five states and 138 institutions of higher learning, and its graduates have been admitted to the bar in forty states and the Terri- tory of Hawaii. It is generally recognized that the Law School of Duke University is one of the very best in the United States.

HE Duke Bar Association was organized in 1931 as a student model of the American Bar Association. Its objects are' to foster legal science, to maintain the honor and dignity of the legal profession among law students, to cultivate professional ethics and social intercourse among its members, and to promote the welfare of the Law School of Duke University. Members of the Association are students in good standing at the Duke Law School and members of tl1e faculty fin an honorary capacityj. Other honorary members may be elected by a majority vote of those present at any meeting of the Association. The D.B.A. story for the school year of 1948- 1949 really 'started with the election of Arbor Gray as Secretary in January of 1948. Arbor served until last Ianuary when he was succeeded by lack de Kruif who will act as Secretary until next year. In May of 1948, Patil Belmont was elected President, Cliff Benson, Vice-President, and Oren McClain, Treasurer. Patil Belmont resigned and Cliff Benson took over to lead the D.B.A. through the most successful year since its founding. Most of the Work done in the D.B.A. is car- ried on by six committees or sections, chairmen of which are appointed by the president. The Section on Publications, headed by Charlie Holloman, is the general supervisory agency in charge of law student publications. During the school year 1948-1949, there were two student publications: The Bar Rag, which is the Weekly newspaper, and the Prolocutor, which is the yearbook. appearing this year for the first time. I. A. West edited the Bar Rag with Dick Doug- las as his assistant. Iohn Coleman edited the Proloczztor. The Section on Grievances and Professional Conduct administers the Duke Law School Honor System. This section, as required by the D.B.A. Constitution, consisted of the mem- bers of the Board of Governors of the Association which consisted of the Association ofhcers and section chairman Sid Smith. Charlie Speth was chairman of the Section on Alumni Affairs and Placement. This section worked closely with the University Appointments PAGE IS At Publication's Council Meeting, student publication problems are solved, and policies adopted. Left to right, Charlie Hol- loman, Chairman, Cliff Benson, I. A. West, Carlton Fleming, Dick Douglas, and john Coleman. Office through which some law students were very successfully placed. Continued co-operation with this office is contemplated. It is hoped that a separate Law School placement service can be established next year. Sid Smith served as chairman of the Section on Law School Affairs. Members of the section were Silas Williams, Al Page, and Tom Poteat. Their responsibility of promoting professional activities among law students and the faculty was aptly discharged. In addition to coordinating affairs with students and the administration, two very outstanding speakers were brought to Duke University. These speakers were Frank Holman, President of the American Bar'Association, and Harrison Tweed, President of the American Law Institute. A moot court program for third-year students was fostered by the Section on Moot Courts of which Cliff St. Clair was chairman. He and the members of the section, Wally Osborne, Dave Hanlon, Iohn Herrick, E. C. Berg, and George Orr, sponsored Copperhead 11. Cojmmonwealth, which was well attended and which received PAGE 16 much publicity. In this moot court Art Eddy, Duncan Daugherty, Al Page, and Sid Smith argued the constitutionality of the City of Dur- ham Snake Handling Ordinance. Douglas B. Maggs, Professor of Law at Duke, Francis I. Paschal, Research Director of the N. C. Commis- sion for the Improvement of the Administration of Justice, and I. Beverly Lake, Professor of Law at Wake Forest College, were the justices. The Section on Social Affairs was composed of Bill Winders, chairman, lim Wolfe, lim Gregg, and Tom Lawton, members. Informal dances were held after every home football game and at other appropriate times. Except for the Hallo- ween Dance held at the Washington Duke Hotel. all dances were at the Shrine Club. The climax of a good year socially was the Spring Formal on April 25, in honor of Dean Harold Shepherd, at which he was presented with a going away gift from the Duke Bar Association. With the election of Bob Potter, President, Bob Stokes, Vice-President, and Bob Page, Treas- urer, as the new omcers of the D.B.A., we can undoubtedly look forward to another big year. Ofhcers of the three legal fraternities gather on the Law School steps.

The Defendants Fraternize . ITH a duality of purpose rivaling that of Ianus or the average coed, Duke's three legal fraternities purvey the campus scene-one side looking to the professional, the other, to the social. Here the student body is indeed fortunate in having chapters of the top three national legal fraternities to aid in combining and accenting these two Well-recognized phases of Law School student life. Long recognized in this country for superiority in numbers and importance are Phi Delta Phi, Phi Alpha Delta, and Delta Theta Phi. These three fraternities number the nation's foremost lawyers, judges and government officials among their members. As a result, the profes- sional element of contact with older lawyers con- stitutes an important advantage of membership in a legal fraternity. In purpose and in operation, a legal fraternity affords little basis for comparison with an under- graduate social fraternity. There are, of course, no such things as fraternity houses or sections among the legal brethren, or, fortunately enough, those long weekly meetings that so many of us endured in an undergraduate social fraternity. Legal fraternity life centers primarily around luncheons, a happy balancing of the social and the professional. Duke fraternities have for years presented an impressive series of luncheon speak- ers, who, as a rule, speak and then answer ques- tions of general interest concerning some field or problem of law. Strictly on the social side, the fraternities have long supplemented the admirable efforts of the Duke Bar Association with functions of their own. The fraternity calendar includes a goodly sprinkling of both formal and informal affairs. On the formal side are such things as joint initia- tions and joint banquets with the corresponding Carolina and Wake Forest chapters. Less formal are the fraternity smokers held during rushing. Completely informal fand howlj are the cabin parties. The fraternities have gotten together on such things as rushing rules and hands off D.B.A. elections in the past, and even closer co-operation is in prospect.

UGHES INN of Phi Delta Phi was founded in 1931, contemporaneous with the founding of the Duke Bar Association, which makes it the oldest legal fraternity on this cam- pus. It is also the oldest legal fraternity nation- ally, having been founded in 1869. To the mellowness of age can be added the power of size. The local inn has seventy-nine active members while the national has approxi- mately 4o,ooo. Hughes Inn has continued this year with its program of collateral legal education through speakers who address the bi-weekly luncheons. Professors have spoken on the more practical as- pects of some of the things we learn in classes. A toxicologist constructively criticized the way lawyers handle expert witnesses and suggested ways in which the medical and legal professions can help each other. Young lawyers have told of the trials and tribulations fprecious few trials and far too many tribulationsj of starting out in private practices. Older lawyers have stated the PAGE 18 joys and satisfactions of being established in the profession. A clerk of the court outlined nu- merous ways in which he could help a young or old lawyer along. The social side has not been neglected. The joint initiations with the Carolina and Wake Forest inns are fast becoming traditional, and with good reason. Each initiation is held in the Capitol Building in Raleigh with justices of the North Carolina Supreme Court presiding, after which there is an informal party and then a formal banquet. There are less formal affairs too, like the cabin party at Baileyls and the rush- ing smokers. Oflicers for the fall term were Al Page, Magis- ter, Fred Maynard, Exchequer, Silas Williams. Clerkg and Tom Poteat, Historian. Those for this spring and next fall are Bob Clifford, Bill Winders, Bob Potter, and I. A. West, respectively. Iohn Coleman will represent Hughes Inn at the National Convention which will be held at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa, Canada, in August. First rozu, left to right: Dooley, McCoy, R.

N THE FALL of 1946 a group of Duke law students, with the assistance of faculty broth- ers Shepherd, McDermott, and Currie, founded the Wiley Rutledge Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, adding another chapter to a fra- ternity, which, founded in 1902, now includes sixty active chapters and 27,000 members. Iustice Rutledge of the U. S. Supreme Court was present to help initiate the brothers who founded this chapter named in his honor. Since then, Rut- ledge Chapter has grown to a group which now includes fifty-four active members. t The fraternity holds regular luncheon meet- ings with a variety of speakers. Speakers for this year have included Mr. Robert Scott, Durham attorney and charter member of Rutledge Chap- ter, Dr. Leon Ellis, authority on Far Eastern affairs, Mr. William Dunn, N. C. Commissioner of Paroles, Mr. Walter Anderson, Director of the State Bureau of Investigation, Mr. Harry Mc- Mullan, N. C. Attorney General, and Dr. Iohn Bradway, faculty brother and Director of the Legal Aid Clinic. The varied rushing program included a party at the Law Cabins, a smoker featuring a bull session with the faculty brothers on legal educa- tion, and a luncheon in the Union Ballroom with Professor McDermott as the principal speaker. The chapter sent delegates to district meetings in Atlanta on April 23 and in Washington on April 30, in furtherance of a policy of frequent get-togethers with brothers from other schools. During the fall semester Mr. Adrian Newton, Clerk of the N. C. Supreme Court spoke at an initiation banquet. In connection with the spring initiation, Duke, Carolina, and Wake Forest chapters held a banquet-dance at the Club Bon Air in Raleigh on April 28. Special guest for this occasion was Iustice Douglas Edmonds of the California Supreme Court, Supreme justice of the fraternity.

Byrnes Senate of Delta Theta Phi was founded on the Duke campus in December, 1947, and its charter membership of fifteen has grown to a present membership of fifty-eight. Since the founding of the National Fraternity in 1900 as a result of the amalgamation of three law fraternities, it has come to include eighty active student senates and thirty-one active alumni senates located throughout the United States, as well as 25,000 active student and alumni members. In keeping with its purpose to foster high scholarship and legal learning, the National Fra- ternity each year awards a Scholarship Cup to the student senate having the best scholastic average, Scholarship Keys to senior and junior members in the upper part of their respective classes, and a Hfty dollar award to the first-year student hold- ing the best average regardless of fraternity af- filiation. This last award is supplemented by a scholarship key awarded by Byrnes Senate. The PAGE 20 local senate also attempts to encourage scholar- ship by conducting reviews in the various courses and by making available various materials deemed to be of value to students. On the professional side Byrnes Senate has bi- weekly luncheons at which prominent attorneys and men in related fields pass on to the members valuable information and practical hints as to the practice of law. Social functions, designed to fill the gap between the abundant social life of undergraduate school and the limited social ac- tivities in Law School, are varied in this senate and include smokers, stag parties, picnics, and banquets. In order to get ideas on how to stimulate more interest in the fraternity and make more effective its efforts to further the legal profession, Byrnes Senate is now looking forward to the bi-annual National Convention to be held in Detroit, Michi- gan, in August of this year. Life Was Never Dull: We Danced . . . And Argued . . . Admissible Evidence T IS DIFFICULT to be convincing in pre- ting the idea that Law School means some- thing other than work alone. But most of us know what happens to lack who believes in all work-he does not become a dull boy, but is found wandering through the gardens mumbling Gray's Rule Against Perpetnities or reciting a list of valuable references culled from the Alumni Directory. For those of us who are allergic to flowers or have already forgotten the R.A.P.-and have made the necessary connections-there are a num- ber of diversions, some of which come as a wel- come pause in our harried routine, others serving principally to sharpen further the line legal mind. The First hint to the entering law student that he may after all be able, occasionally, to withdraw his nose from the dust-covered tomes comes a few days after his baptism of fire in class, when he attends the smoker sponsored by the Duke Bar Association, the organization representing the entire student body. There, everyone is intro- duced to everyone elseg the professors appear to be perfectly harmlessg an air of amiability pre- vails Cthough the cigar smoke gives strong com- petitionjg and one is left with the impression that maybe this stuff won't be so bad, after all. Not long after the embryonic barrister is straightened out about this, he finds it necessary to reach a decision which all law students make early in their careers, concerning the amount of time he can afford to spend in extra-curricular activities. During the week he has to try to fight off the lure of the golf links or tennis courts, or make time for an hour of football or softball on the Law School intramural teams. The Univer- sity's line athletic facilities are open to all. 011 the week-ends football games, organized and dis- organized, fsicj parties, clandestine poker games, and migrations to East Campus are responsible for the poor showing in the Law Library. But the day of reckoning cometh, and the click of the PAGE 21 We Worked . . . And Played . . . PAGE 22 And Argued UD Some More typewriter keys rings through the quadrangle and echoes around the Law Cabins, and dormitories late into the night whenever a paper is due, the moot court deadline approaches, or exams rear their ugly blue books. This year the Duke Bar Association under the able direction of Cliff Benson played host at six dances, including a Cfzirstmczs Bull and a Spring Formal. These affairs have proved to be so popu- lar that they have become an integral part of student life, providing everyone in the Law School community with the opportunity of min- gling on what is most politely described as an informal and non-scholastic basis. Bill Winders and his Social Committee deserve plaudits for keeping the roof on the Durham Shriners Club and the Washington Duke Ballroom, scenes of the local history-making battles. The three legal fraternities represented at Duke Law School contribute to both the social and academic aspects of the members' careers. Each fraternity entertains the first-year men at smokers and informal gatherings at the beginning of the second semester of the academic year, shortly after which pledging ceremonies take place. Throughout the year social functions are arranged by each organization-cabin parties, banquets, and informal get-togethers at the nearby pubs. The fraternities have long made it a part of their activities to meet at luncheons and present speak- ers learned in some particular phase of the law. li' particularly close attention is paid to the words of these speakers or those presented by the D.B.A., it is not unreasonable to assume that the Lsteners are hoping to pick up some gem that will prove to be the clinching point in their next moo: court arguments. These have come to be hotly contested debates participated in by all Hrst- and second-year students. Designed on the pat- tern of the Ames Competition at Harvard Law School. the moot court arguments give each stu- dent the opportunity to make an exhaustive Search of the autlxorities n support of some prop- osition of law fthe legal research department distinctly called it an oppottunity-that's no mis- printljg to arrange his material in brief form as required by his own iurisdictiong and to present an oral argument and think quickly on his feet- in order to answer the sometimes embarrassing questions from the bench. This becomes a rather important part of student life when a date in Chapel Hill must be given up in order that a deadline for moot court briefs may be met. Other deadlines prove to be troublesome, too. Every other Week the editors of the Bar Rag, student publication, send out their bloodhounds to bring back lost, strayed, and retired reporters with information on events of general interest, student opinion, and legal articles prepared by students who have taken the trouble, voluntarily, to do a paper in a field that has proved interesting and curiosity about which has inspired further research. Further experiments will be made in the field of publications during the coming year. Expect anything! These, then, are.some of the activities which occupy the time of groups of students. They fit very nicely into their proper classification in stu- dent life, and are sure to be remembered when the fortunate are able to look back upon their Law School days. But the informal activities which do not lend themselves to any particular classification will not soon be forgotten either: the bull sessions in the dorm, Where amiable discussion leads to the learning of considerable law, as is recognized by faculty and students alike, and where opinions on everything from Russia to women are aired and criticized . .T . under the umbrella at Bailey's Where not too much law is learned, but Russia occasionally and women frequently creep into the conversation and the latter sometimes present themselves in more substantial form . . . through the smoke at Pop Hartman's or at the Saddle Club, where Russia just does not get into the act at all . . . a quiet evening of cards with new-found friends- and this is not confined to the married couples, though it depends on what the game is . . . the hours of reviewing and tearing hair, searching and researching and just plain thinking-all in preparation for Hnal examinations-during which horrendous process everyone has at one time or another been struck with the thought that a bet- ter method to make one's Way in this world would be to Write a book entitled So You Want to Go to Law School.
