IACK H. FRIEDENTHAL Professor of Law Professor Friedenthal and his wife can both claim Stanford as their alma mater. He earned a B.A. in economics in l953g and his wife was a member of the law school class of l960. Profes- sor Friedenthal received his LLB. from Har- vard in l958, and served as developments edi- tor of the Harvard Law Review. He returned to Stanford as a member of the law faculty in 1958 and has taught here since that time. In l965 he was visiting associate professor at the Michi- gan Law School. Professor Friedenthal teaches primarily in the fields of civil procedure, evidence, family law, and social welfare legislation. As his civil procedure students are well aware, he is in the process of writing a casebook on that subject. Although he modestly declines to take credit for it, he was instrumental in setting up the legal aid program which is now operating in East Palo Alto and is staffed in part by members of the law school student body. The Friedenthals have three children: Ellen, 3, Amy, 2, and Mark, 4 months. The family re- sides in the Pine Hill section on the campus.

RALPH IOCELYN GAMPELL Lecturer in Law The only member of the faculty to hold both a medical and a legal degree is Ralph Iocelyn Gampell. Born in England in l9l6, Dr. Garnpell received his education in medicine at the Uni- versity of Manchester, taking an M.B., Ch.B. in l940. For five years thereafter he was a medical officer with the Royal Air Force in China, Burma, and India. He practiced general medicine in England from l946 until l949 and in the United States beginning in l949. From l957, when he received an LL.B. from Stanford, until 1965, he maintained both a medical and a legal practice. Since l965, Dr. Garnpell has confined his pro- fessional activities to the practice of law in San Iose, specializing in personal injury litigation. At Stanford he has been a part-time lecturer on Medical-Legal Problems since l958. In response to inquiries as to why he chose to devote his time exclusively to the law, Dr. Gam- pell says he was tired of being a professional schizophrenic, and besides the practice of general medicine is deadly dull. As for the value of hav- ing degrees in both fields he feels it is of assis- tance in personal injury Work and in teaching, but aside from these two specializedaareas totally valuelessf, A frequent contributor to medical journals until 1965, Dr. Gampell was a member of the Governor's Committee on Abortions and with Professor Packer prepared the definitive study of the state of therapeutic abortions in California. Dr. Gampell's wife, Margaret, is a third-year law student at Stanford. With their six children, they live in Los Altos Hills.
