What do you mean I'm not a lawyeri? I graduated from Harvard Law School, I'm a member of the New Jersey and Illinois Bars, I once wrote a will and a contract, I have a lawyer's suit, and some of my best friends are lawyers! Joel F. Handler thus with mock indignation set a friend straight over the telephone while the Yearbook Editor eaves- dropped. His point is, however, well taken. With his full beard and very infrequent use of his Hlawyeris suit, he might not look like a lawyer, but the fact is that he is one and a law professor as well, and a good one at that. Born in Newark, New Jersey in 1932, Professor Handler took his A.B. from Princeton in 1954 and then attended Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review and a member of the Legal Aid Society. After graduation in 1957, he clerked for one year for Justice Nathan Jacobs of the New Jersey Supreme Court and then practiced for one year in Newark. In 1959-60 he was a teaching fellow at Harvard Law School, and then he worked for the Advisory Committee on the Rules of Civil Procedure for the Federal District Courts. In 1961 he joined the faculty of the Vanderbuilt University School of Law and in 1962 he joined the law faculty at the University of Illinois. From 1964 until the present he has been a faculty member of the University of Wisconson Law School. Visiting ,at Stanford this year, Professor Handler has been teaching courses inWelfare Administration and Legal Process. His specialty in the law is welfare and poverty law, arid shortly his book, The 'Deservingn Poor: A Study of WeU'are Administration, willbe published. He has also published The Lawyer and his Community: The Practicing Bar in a Middle-Sized City as well as numerous articles in legal periodicals. JOEL F. HANDLER Visiting Professor of Law
