Yosal Rogat was born in California in 1928. He received a B.A. from UCLA in 1947, a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1956, both in political science, and a B.A. from Oxford in 1957 in jurisprudence. In that year he joined the political science faculty at Berkeley, where he remained until 1960. Returning to southern California, he was a staff member of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions at Santa Barbara for two years. The next two years were spent as a member of the political science faculty at the University of Chicago, from which he returned to the Bay Area as a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. In 1965-66 Professor Rogat was a visiting lecturer at the Law School, and the following year he received a unique joint appointment from the Law School and from Stanford's political science department. This follows logically from the fact that he is currently interested in studying the relationship between law and politics. Some of the subjects taught by Professor Rogat are legal theory, legal history, civil liberties, and psychiatry and the law. In addition to contributions to the University of Chicago Law Review, the Stanford Law Review, the New York Review of Books, and the Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Mr. Rogat has published The Eichmann Trial and the Rule of Law and is presently writing what he describes as Han interpretation of Mr. Justice Holmes.

GORDON KEN DALL SCOTT Professor of Law Professor Gordon Scott, a native of Massachusetts, attended Harvard College and received an A.B. in government in 1938. Remaining at Harvard for graduate study in law, he served as an editor of the Harvard Law Review and received his LL.B. in 1941. He practiced law in Washington, D.C. from 1941 until 1942, served in 1942 in the Office of the Coordinator for Inter-American Affairs in the Department of State, and then embarked upon four years of service with the United States Army. Professor Scott came to Stanford in 1946 and stayed as a member of the faculty until 1948. In that year he returned to Boston to practice law for four years and in 1952 he rejoined the law faculty at Stanford. He has taught at Stanford since that time, with his primary areas of interest being corporations, municipal law and taxation. Outside of the area of law, Professor Scott enjoys a widespread and well-deserved reputation as an outstanding tennis player. He is also said to play an excellent game of bridge, although he claims that there are no really good student bridge players around. He has been seen from time to time in the student lounge doing research on this theory.
