The 1975 HOYNES REPORTER is dedicated to our dear friend and teach- er, Ed Murphy. Most law students at Notre Dame had excellent undergrad- uate records at outstanding schools. They have known many fine teachers. Furthermore, they found that the level of teaching in law school is ex- cellent. Martin Mayer wrote in Ih-e Lawyers that nLaw school teaching is on the average tespecially in the first yead more intense and more intelli- gent teaching than is offered in any other variety of academic institution in the United States? tp. 8m. Our ex- perience at Notre Dame upholds this. The very best of our ttintenseii and iiintelligentii teachers is Edward J. Murphy. The legal concepts involved in con- tracts are among the most rational in law. They are systematic and intelligi- ble. We have the advantage of study- ing the most systematic and probably the best organized casebook on con- tracts in use today. And, of course, Edward J. Murphy co-authored the book. The outline of the course, the content ofevery Classroom session- each is organized and executed per- fectly.
