The name Cornerstone was derived from the
relationship between the law school and its
alumni: the Tech Law School serves as the
cornerstone for a successful career in law; and
the alumni, through their support, serve as the
cornerstone for developing excellence in the law
school.
Comments from readers are welcome. Please

By this time in the spring many new events have occurred in the life of the Texas Tech School of Law. This issue
highlights illustrative events. Our alumni continue to excel in the "real world" of practice. Matt Wood spent a year in
Australia with an international law firm and his story is in this issue. Our faculty continue to be productive scholars as well
as teachers. Allison Professor Tom Baker was re-appointed to the Standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure
for the United States Courts, served as a Fulbright Professor and Scholar in Residence at the National and Capodistrian
University of Athens in Greece, and published essays, book reviews, law review articles and a lengthy study and report
commissioned by the Federal Judicial Center for Congress. Professor Dan Benson completed a criminal law casebook,
published by the Michie Company, and a law review article entitled "The Crime Control Act of 1990 and Other Criminal
Laws Affecting Bank Counsel." Professor Chuck Bubany participated in the Texas Association of Counties Judicial
Education Institute, will present a paper at the North American Family Law Conference, and continues to contribute as a
regular author to the Family Law Section of the State Bar General Practice Digest of Cases. Professor Wes Cochran's article
entitled "Why Can't I Watch This Video Here?: Copyright Confusion and Performances of the Videocassettes and
Videodiscs in Libraries has been accepted for publication in the Hastings Communication & Entertainment Law Journal. He
has been appointed to the Recruitment Committee of the American Association of Law Libraries, to an ABA!AALS Site
Evaluation team, and has been invited to give several speeches and presentations throughout the United States. Professor
Bill Piatt completed his book entitled Language on the Job and it was published by the University of New Mexico Press. He
was also recently named to the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Lawyer Competence. Adjunct Professor
Rey Valencia has been asked to serve on the Board of Editors of the newly-established Harvard Latino Law Review and to
deliver the keynote address at the annual Harvard Latino Alumni Association Spring Conference. Teaching remains our
primary mission, but it is clear by any standard that the faculty at the Texas Tech School of Law also serve in positions of
national leadership and produce an impressive body of scholarship.
Our alumni support continues unabated. This issue of the Cornerstone contains our Annual Giving Report. Our
alumni and friends continue to respond in record numbers and with record gift amounts. Our alumni and friends have
completed contributions which fully endow the 1. Hadley Edgar Professorship of Law. Our annual gift program provides the
kind of continuing support to the Texas Tech School of Law which helps to fill the gap left by reduction of state funding.
We are lucky to have a large and effective group of committed alumni and friends.
We now have alumni directories available for sale and we ask that you pay attention to the notice in this issue of the
alumni meeting to be held at the State Bar Convention in Fort Worth.
The icing on the cake relates to our Law School renovation and Law Library expansion project. The cover story
details the Regents' approval of our construction contract. As I draft this letter, construction is well underway. There is some
real dis allocation for those of us using the building during construction. Nonetheless, we are excited as we see these major
changes take place. Please mark your calendars and plan to be with us on Friday, May 13, 1994. Our formal rededication of
the building will take place at that time and you will receive more information on this special program next fall. We plan to
celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Texas Tech School of Law in our building. We count on having all of you return to the
Law School to help us commemorate the past and plan for the future of the Texas Tech School of Law!
Sincerely,
Wlt'V4~

Regents Approve Construction
Contract For Library Renovation
QUESTION: When is doing legal research hazardous to your health?
QUESTION: When is the Forum not the Forum?
ANSWER: When the law library is under construction.
4
Picture, if you can, the library circulation desk in the Forum. The rug is rolled up and stacks of
books are arranged throughout the space. The sofas, chairs, tables and plants from the Forum
are in the hall outside Room 109. The Law Review is located in the Placement Office and the
Board of Banisters meets in the jury room by the Courtroom. Hard hats are recommended for
library patrons. The law library staff is dispersed throughout the building and only the
classrooms remain the same.
Construction of the law library addition began in December, 1992. Upon completion, the law
library will:
• be wheelchair accessible on all floors;
• have additional canels for students;
• have every canel fully wired and fitted for computer-assisted legal research;
• have renovated Law Review, Board of Banisters, Texas Bank Lawyer and Legal
Research Board offices on the third floor;
• have 13,000 square feet of additional floor space; and
• be the law library that provides students with the ultimate research capabilities
(400 individual terminals!).
The $4.0 million dollar renovation will fully outfit the Texas Tech School of Law for the 21st
century. "Our students will have the opportunity to become proficient in computer assisted
legal research to a greater degree than in any other law school in the nation," said Newton.

SPOTLIGHT

Matthew Wood, a December 1989 graduate, began
his legal career as far from Lubbock as possible. After
taking the February 1990 bar exam, Matthew and his
wife, Beth, moved to Melbourne, Australia to work with
Arthur Robinson & Hedderwicks ("AR&H"), the oldest
and one of the largest firms in Melbourne. Founded in
1897 by Sir Arthur Robinson, KCMG, AR & H is a
member of the Australian Legal Group, a consortium of
firms with offices in every major city in Australia, as well
as New York, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta
and Tokyo.
A search through the Martindale Hubbell directory in
the law school's placement office provided Matthew with
the name and address of the firm with which he was to
become associated. After numerous correspondence and
telephone calls, Ian Renard, the Managing Partner of AR
& H, arranged for Matthew to be interviewed by one of
their Senior Associates who was on a year-long
assignment at the San Francisco office of Thelin, Marrin,
Johnson & Bridges.
AR & H hired Matthew as a "Foreign-Licensed
Attorney". As Australia is a Commonwealth country,
their legal system uses the Barrister/Solicitor method.
Law firms are made up of solicitors, similar in many ways
to transactional attorneys. When issues are to be
determined in a court, a solicitor (not the client) will pick
a barrister to try the case. Barristers are independent, and
must be hired by a solicitor. The solicitor would then draft
a file brief for the barrister to present in court.
Matthew practiced as a solicitor in the Security

Australia.
Enforcement and Corporate Insolvency Group. The laws
(especially commercial and banking) are sufficiently
similar to those in the U.S. that Matthew was able, with
the assistance of the firm's extensive internal training
program, to quickly become functional in practice. He
said that practicing commercial law at AR & H was not
really much different from large firm practice in any
major U.S. city, except that he was surprised with how
quickly he was given client responsibility and
development opportunities.
For the first nine months, Matthew was part of a
team involved in the largest commercial litigation matter
in Australian history. His firm represented "junk bond"
holders who held a $2 billion (US $1.5 billion) worth of
debentures in Bond Brewing, the large beer and hotel
corporation founded by Alan Bond. You might recognize
Mr. Bond's name, as he was the yacht owner and
financier behind the Australia's successful America's
Cup team. As these "junk" bonds were originally sold in
New York through Drexel Burnham Lambert, several
issues of fact and law required determination in New
York, and then finding a comparable relationship in
Australian law. This trial was in and out of court for
several months . Because of the people involved and the
amount of money, the media followed the proceedings
very closely. Unfortunately for the media but fortunately
for AR & H's clients, the case was settled out of court,
with a substantial payout to bond holders.
In 1991 several "Savings Societies", similar to U.S.
Savings and Loans, failed. Matthew's group did
numerous refinancing agreements, including several
foreign owned or foreign bank-financed arrangements.
He also instigated collection proceedings and "winding
ups" (corporate bankruptcies) and performed bank
investigative "due diligence" work.
Since Melbourne, like all major Australian cities, is
coastal, Matthew and Beth took the opportunity to live on
the beach in a two story "flat", which was quite a change
from Lubbock. They spent most of their leisure time
sailing, cycling and traveling around the country.
Matthew has recently returned to Dallas, where he is
a partner with Marshall Ashley ('89), formerly of KPMG
Peat Marwick, in a boutique commercial and
international practice as Ashley & Wood, 3400 Fountain
Place, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202. The firm
practices globally, with an emphasis in Pacific Rim
Commercial work. The firm has close working
relationships with major legal and professional firms
throughout Asia and the Pacific, as well as numerous
European and South American contacts.
According to Matthew, "Working with a major
Australian law firm was a fantastic introduction to the
practice of law and an exciting way to enter the
international legal field!"
