Professor John Kaplan is a man of many faces. Known as the Sandy Koufax' of the faculty softball team and as Tony the Tiger during the trick or treatv season, he is also a prolific writer, contributing frequently to legal journals and other periodicals. He authored The Trial of Jack Ruby, and in-depth analysis which has endeared him greatly to the Bay Area's own Mel Belli, and his Casebook on Evidence is one of the all-time bestsellers at Stanlaw. Many of his articles deal with the issue of school segregation. Born in New York, Professor Kaplan received an A.B. in physics from Harvard in 1951, and then realizing there was little future in science, entered Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. After graduation in 1954, he clerked for Mr. Justice Clark of the United States Supreme Court and then spent one year working in criminology in Vienna, Austria. From 1956 to 1960 he worked for the Criminal Division ofthe Department of Justice, assigned first to Chicago as a special assistant to the Attorney General and then to San Francisco as Assistant United States Attorney. He then worked for one year as a research analyst at the Hudson Institute. Mr. Kaplan became Professor Kaplan in 1962 when he joined the faculty of North- western University Law School. He was a visiting professor at Boalt Hall, University of California, in 1964-65, and then in 1965 he joined the Stanford Law School faculty. His classroom theatrics in Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, and Evidence make those courses more than a mere learning experience for so many Stanford students. This year Professor Kaplan, his wife and three children are living in England, where he is doing intensive research on the problems of drug abuse.

JOSEPH M. LIVERMORE Visiting Professor of Law Professor Joseph Livermore returned to Stanford Law School this fall as a Visiting Professor of Law. Born in Oregon in 1937, Professor Livermore received his A.B. from Dartmouth in 1958, and his LL.B. from Stanford in 1961. After serving in the Army from 1961 to 1963, he was in private practice in San Francisco for a year, and then joined the faculty of the Minnesota Law School in 1965. He became an Associate Professor of Law at Minnesota in 1967. Professor Livermore was delighted when he was invited to teach at Stanford, although teaching commitments at Minnesota forced him to limit his stay here to one semester. Professor Livermore has taught Copyright Law, Psychology and Law, Evidence, and Criminal Law at Minnesota, and will be returning there to start a new undergraduate course in Criminal Law, primarily for Liberal Arts students. While at Stanford he taught Criminal Law and Jurisprudence. He enjoys teaching courses when the students have strong feelings about the subject matter, and he encourages argument as a mode of learning. He feels the role of the professor is to provide a more sophisticated analysis of problems than the students would arrive at on their own, and that the role of the Law School should be to train competent lawyers, since most students plan to go into practice. Professor Livermore and his wife, Elaine., have been making the most of their time in California, making frequent trips to San Francisco to enjoy its gastronomic and cultural delights. His wife is thoroughly enjoying her first visit to California, when she is not busy keeping their infant son, Caleb, out of mischief. We are certainly grateful to have had Professor Livermore with us, even for this limited time.
