Improving the capability of the Placement Office to serve more than the top one-third of the class is also on Yudof's list. We must improve our students' self-images. They are in the top one-half percent of the nationwide population. Employers should have an appreciation of that quality.'' last, but certainly not least to the average law school student, are the improvements Yudof has already made to Keeton's Casino. Thanks to his efforts, law students now have bagels and cream cheese in abundance! Yudof's personal life is changing significantly as a result of his promotion. He says he is still getting used to the ceremonial aspects of the job, and must be careful about having one of his frequent jokes taken too seriously. He describes the morning mail delivery as a crisis and finds that the job is more time-consuming than he expected. He still makes time for his family, however. Yudof's wife, Judy, is currently president of their synagogue so she is equally busy, and the two tend to rendezvous at the microwave. They have two children, Seth, 13, and Samara, 7. They were both born on January lb, which shows you how precise a lawyer I am, he adds. With so many plans, Yudof is settling easily into the role. But it has its disadvantages. When a UT regent commented that he wished Yudof were five years older, Yudof said he assured him, I will be in one year. Dean Yudof 7
