A Messagejrom the President
Great strides have been made in building a tradition of excellence In legal education since the Texas Tech University Law
School first opened Its doors. As one of Its major accomplishments, the Law School achieved full accreditation In the short·
est possible lime allowed. under the rules of state and national
accrediting agencies. Because the accrediting requirements
were exceeded. the University was given permission to establish
a local chapter of the Order of the Colf-a national legal honorary SOCiety. Membership in the Order of the Coif Is a coveted
distinction among American law schools.
The accomplishments of the Law School are reflected by the
achievements of Its graduates and students. Members of the
first graduating class earned the top three grades on the Texas
bar examlnallon in competition with graduates from other law
schools in the state. {Both male and female graduates were
among those top three.} This year's graduating class Includes
students who were on the Texas Tech Moot Court Team that
won the 1980 National Moot Court Competition.
The high quality of legal education at Texas Tech has not
gone unnoticed by law firms and corporate legal departments.
An increasing number of employers actively recruit here with
the assistance of our placement office.
The Texas Tech Law School began wi th the philosophy that a
smaller student body. smalJer classes. and closer faculty/student contact provide a better way of teaching the skills and
ethical standards needed in a successful legal career. That philosophy has been a good one and it will continue In the coming
years.
If you are Interested In this approach to legal education. I
invite you to seriously consider the i~as Tech Law School as
the place to begin your legal career.

The University Community
The role of Texas Tech University Is that of a multipurpose
state univerSity with a range of program offerings which provide the opportunity for a liberal education for all students and
for professional training at the undergraduate and graduate
levels. In addition. the University recogniZes the value of participating in community service and the significance of scholarly
research leading to effective dissemination of knOWledge.
The University originally opened In the fall of 1925 as Texas
Technological College \vith four schools-Liberal Arts. Home
Economics. Agriculture. and Engineering. By action of the
Texas State Legislature. Texas Technological College became
Texas Tech University on September 1. 1969. Today the University has an enrollment of over 23.000 students and contains six
instructional colleges-Agricultural Sciences. Arts and Sciences. Business Administration. Education. Engineering. Home
Economics-and two schools. the School of Law and the Graduate School. The Texas Tech University School of Medicine. a
separate institution. opened. In 1972.
Many special facilities for interdisciplinary research are
available. such as the computer center. the Southwest Collection (a regional depository for histortcallnformatlon pertaJning
to West Texas and the near Southwestl. and the University
Llbrary's expanding collection of material in the general areas
of the humanities. The University also supports the international Center for ArId and Semi-Arid Land Studies. which
focuses the contributions of academic diSCiplines on problems
of arid lands and their inhabitants.
Located next to the Law School. the Student Recreation Center and the Aquatic Center offer a wide variety of indoor sports
facilities In addition to an olympic size Indoor-outdoor swimming pool. tennis courts. and ball diamonds.

The School oj Law
The establishment of the School of Law at Texas Tech came
about largely through the efforts of attorney Alvin R Allison, a
former member of the Board of Regents of the University. who
saw a need for a state-supported law school in the West Texas
area. The Board appointed the Law School's first dean. Richard
B. Amandes. in 1966 and in 1967 the first class of 72 entering
students enrolled. In the fall of 1980 there were 225 students in
the entering class representing 29 Texas colleges and universities and 33 out-of-state schools. Total enrollment for the 1980
fall semester was 625. the majority of students being from
Texas but Including students from 17 other states.
Efforts of the first administration were directed principally
toward hiring an outstanding faculty. developing the curriculum. attracting a well-qualified student body. and constructing
a bUilding to house the Law School. Support. both financial and
professional. was sought from the local and state bar and from
the Lubbock community. Especially Important was the need for
early accreditation in order that the school's first graduates
would be qualified for admission to the bar. This was accomplished on schedule with provisional approval granted by the
American Bar Associallon in February 1968; final approval was
granted In August 1970. The Law School is also fully accredited
by the Supreme Court of Texas (19681 and by the Association of
American Law Schools (969).
In 1977 Frank W. Elliott became dean and a new era of growth
began with emphasis on financial support. placement of graduates. and service to the profession through more continuing
education programs. Professor Richard W. Hemingway served
as interim dean. 1980-81. and Professor Byron Fullerton will be
Interim dean for 1981-82.
The objective of the faculty of the School of Law Is to train
young men and women for the practice of law anywhere in the
United States. whether It be as advocate. counselor. judge. or
law teacher. in accordance with the highest traditions of professional responsiblllty. At the same time recognition Is given to
the use of law as a stepping-stone to a career in government.
polttlcs. or business. The curriculum and the methods of
instruction are designed to develop In the students their highest potential. whatever may have been their reasons for entering
the school.
The Law School building was completed in December 1969.
and the move to the new building from temporary quarters was
made in January 1970. The air-conditioned building is
deSigned to provide all facilities needed for the student bosy. In
addition to classrooms and seminar rooms. the building has a
complete law library. lounge area. courtroom. typing room.
snack area, locker room. placement office. student organization
offices, and faculty and administrative offices.
Handicapped students attending the School of Law will find
numerous barrier-free facilities. The entrance Is free of steps
and all floors to the classrooms and library arc serviced by clevators. Special programs designed to Improve the services available to phySically handicapped and visually Impaired students
are directed within the Office of the Dean of Students.
State offices of the Commission of the Blind and the Texas
Rehabilitation Commission arc located on the Texas Tech
campus.

The Law Library
An adequate. well-organized library facilitates the study of
law. and Is perhaps second only to the faculty as a factor In
evaluating a law school.
Texas Tech Law Library. with more than 134,000 volumes in
Its collection. provides a vast amount of primary source material. including statutes. judicial opinions. administrative regulations, and an extensive selection of secondary sources. such
as treatises. legal periodicals. and topical looseleaf services. The
variety of legal materials available allows students to do most. if
not all. of their research on the premises. Multiple copies of
heavily-used sets assure accessiblli ty of assigned readings to all
students.
The law library has been designated as a selective depository
for current United States government publications and has
ready access to the comprehensive collection of retrospective
documents available at the main University library.
The library encompasses four floors of the law school facility.
with adequate seating space. study carrels. and conference
rooms located on all floors. A typing room provides space for
storing and USing typewIiters.

13
The staff of the library provides excellent service in maintainIng the collection and assisting students in Its use. A computerIzed. on-line cataloging system provides bibliographic data from
thousands of other participating libraries and speeds the processing and cataloging of new books. making them accessible
withIn days of their arrival.
For maximum use by the students. the library is open over
one hundred hours a week. with special provision for comfortable study space beyond library hours during the week of final
examinations.
Due In part to their library experience at Texas Tech. graduates of the Law School generally possess a thorough knowledge
of legal information sources and are well aware of the Importance of law libraries to their profession.

Admission
Prelegal Education
The School of Law does not prescribe a Specific prelegal curriculum for Its applicants. The wide range oflawyers' tasks and
the difference in offerings from school to school preclude such
an approach. However, there are certain goals which all prelaw
students should keep In mind when planning their college programs. They should strive to acquire the ability to read. write
and speak the English language well: to gain a critical understanding of human values and institutions-political. economic. and social: and to develop in themselves the power to
think creatively. Undergraduate study should result not only In
a quantity of knowledge. but also in an understanding of the
basis of this knowledge. Its degrees and conditions.
Two Items deserve Special mention. Students will find It helpful to have some preliminary work in accounting as background
for the courses in business entities and taxation. Typing skIDs
will prove useful not only in the preparation of briefs and
memoranda. but also for daily preparation and examinations.
engaged in outside employment must report the quantity of
such work per week and may be asked to withdraw from the
school if the amount of time spent in outside employment is
deemed excessive or appears to interfere with full-time study of
law. Outside employment should in no case exceed 15 hours per
week.
Requirementsfor Admission
An applicant must have received. or have completed all
requirements for. a baccalaureate degree from a college or university of approved standing prior to the time he or she begins
work In the School of Law. In order to apply. however. an applicant need have completed only six semesters or nine quarters of
undergraduate work. Additionally. an applicant must take the
Law School Admission Test which is administered four times a
year throughout the United States and in many foreign countries by the Educational Testing Service. An applicant's record
must be of sufficiently high quality to demonstrate that he or
she Is qualified for the study oflaw. In evaluating an applicant's
record. considerable weight is given to undergraduate grades
and the score achieved on the Law School Admission Test. In
exceptional cases, the work of the last two college years will be
weighed more heavily than that of earBer years. To a lesser
extent. consideration is given to other factors such as the quality of the applicant's college. the grade trend. cultural background. work experience dUring and after college. extracurricular activities. graduate studies. seIVice in the military. Peace
Corps. or Vista. and the applicant's statement of purpose. letters of recommendation are not reqUired. but if an applicant
wishes to have such letters considered. those from former professors are most helpful.
Students are admitted only 1n the fall except in special circumstances. The School of Law recommends that students
devote their entire time to the study of law. Students who are

tlon will be delayed until the form is received.
