Keeton Law Week - 13

Page 16 text:

In 1953, the University of Texas School of Law first observed Law Day, a day to create a deeper understanding and respect for the legal profession as a whole. What was once a day to remember has now become a memo- rable week and one of the most sym- bolic enduring traditions at the Law School. The Student Bar Association expand- ed Law Day to Law Week in 1969 and dedicated it to Dean W. Page Keeton. Always active on the teaching staff, Page Keeton applied the same motto which he adhered as a teacher to his services as Dean: Enter Without Knocking. Still a member of the Law School Faculty today. Dean Keeton ' s open door policy persists. Whether assisting students in understanding the law ' s intricacies or simply planning witty Socratic dialogue. Page Keeton continues to be a delight and inspira- tion to all who would endeavor to meet the challenges of the law. The events of Law Week change to some degree every year, but the backbone traditions endure: Assault and Flattery, Race Judicata, Spring Fling, Dean Keeton ' s Barbeque, Race Ispa Loquitor, the Jesse Dean Oliver Emergency Student Loan Auction, Moot Court Competitions, Distinguished Lectures and the T.J. Gibson Law Week Awards Ceremony. Never changing, of course, is the ulti- mate opportunity afforded by Law Week: the chance to socialize with pro- fessors, present and future members of the Bar as well as a chance to laugh with and toast fellow students. The Law Week Committee hopes that students, faculty, staff, members of the Bar and Friends of the Law School enjoyed the events and festivities of Law Week. | eeton L w WeeK 12 - Keeton Law Week
