RICHARD MARKOVITS Assistant Professor of Law New to Stanford Law School and to California this year is Assistant Professor Richard Markovits. New but not a total stranger, however, since he was Professor Mike Wald's roommate at Cornell University and he and Mike were at Yale Law School together for two years. Born in Middletown, New York, in 1942, Professor Markovits received his A.B. in economics and political science from Cornell University in 1963. He then studied economics at the London School of Economics from 1963 until 1965, receiving his Ph.D. in 1966 while in his first year at the Yale Law School, where he was Note and Comment Editor of the Yale Law Journal and received his LL.B. in 1968. Last year he was a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow in economics at the London School of Economics. Although his position at Stanford is his first full-time teaching position, Professor Markovits is not new to teaching. He was a full teaching fellow at Cornell in 1962-63, a teacher of economics at the 1967 summer session at Cornell University, and a lecturer in the Department of Economics at Yale during his last two years of law school. This year at Stanford Law School, Professor Markovits is teaching courses in Microeconomic Regulation, Advanced Antitrust, and Constitutional Law. He is also interested in the field of psychology and the law.

After an interlude of law practice with the San Francisco firm of Brobeck, Phleger St Harrison, Professor McDonough returned to Stanford in 1952. From 1962 to 1964 he served as acting dean of the law school. In 1967-68 he took a leave of absence to serve as Assistant Deputy Attorney General of the United States. Professor McDonough has always taken a vital interest in improving the law and the administration of justice. Working toward this end, he has served as a member of the California Law Revision Commission, the American Law Institute, and the Judicial Conference of the Ninth Circuit. First as Executive Secretary, then as a member, and finally as Chairman, he worked on the seven-year task of revamping the California Evidence Code, enacted by the Legislature in 1965 . Professor McDonough has also been active in local politics, at one time serving as Co-Chairman of the Santa Clara County Committee to Re-elect Governor Brown. He has also served as President of the Palo Alto-Stanford Democratic Council. This year Professor McDonough, his wife and two children are living in Los Angeles, where he is practicing law with the Los Angeles law firm Of Keatinge 8a Sterling. JOHN R.
