THE SOUTHWESTERN LEGAL FOUNDATION The Southwestern Legal Center is composed of the Southern Methodist University School of Law and The Southwestern Legal Foundation. While the primary purpose of the Law School is the preparation of students for the practice of law, The Southwestern Legal Foundation is an educational institution designed to provide continuing education for practicing attorneys and business ex- ecutives. In the academic year 1966-1967, the Foundation conducted 25 programs in various fields. Approximately 5,000 participants attended, coming from all the United States and many other nations. These programs were conducted under the auspices of the four educational centers of the Foundation, namely, The Continuing Legal Education Center, The International and Comparative Law Center, The International Oil and Cas Educational Center, and The Southwestern Law Enforcement Institute. The programs are scheduled as institutes and symposia of two to three days in duration, short courses of one to two weeks in duration, schools of four weeks in duration, and academies of seven to eight weeks in duration. An invited group of distinguished citizens in all professional and business fields comprise the Research Fellows of The Founda- tion, who work with all the educational centers and are responsible through their original support for the establishment of some of The F oundation's most successful programs. Each year The Foundation awards scholarships for some of its own noncredit programs and makes grants for accredited study in the Southern Methodist University Law School to both undergraduate and graduate students. The latter group includes foreign nationals who are pursuing advanced law studies. Augmented annually by eight to ten volumes, The Foundation's publications number more than 70 volumes, largely made up of institute and symposia proceedings. Oil and Gas Reporter, a monthly service, is one of The Foundation's oldest continuing programs. The Foundation was chartered in l9f1+7 as an educational and civic organization of businessmen, judges, lawyers, educators, government officials, and business groups, its stated purpose being to establish and operate legal institutes and any other related activities for the benefit of the Legal Profession, the Public, and the Government, to conduct institutes, research, and forums of Inter- national Law and Relations . . .
