February 1987
Dear Alumni and Friends of the Texas Tech Law School,
The main feature 0f this issue is the report that we make about our endowment and annual gift giving
campaigns. All of you are aware that Texas Tech University is involved in an Enterprise Campaign designed
to significantly increase our endowment. This is a worthy goal which we at the Law School support. In an
earlier Cornerstone we reported the initiation of drives to create an Alvin R. Allison Professorship of Law and
a Judge Robert H. Bean Professorship of Law. There is also a strong possibility that we will be able to launch
drives for additional professorships in the coming year. This is very exciting indeed.
We also have been able to initiate or complete endowed student scholarships. During the last year we initiated
the ].H. Splawn Presidential Scholarship. In addition we completed the Crenshaw Memorial Scholarship.
Nothing is more important to the quality of our student body than the availability of scholarship assistance!
Our general fund endowments jumped from zero to more than $32,000. That figure represents a major and
significant increase in the permanent corpus of the Texas Tech Law School Foundation.
Our scholarship endowments, on the other hand, dropped by over $10,000 during the same time period.
Furthermore our unrestricted gifts dropped by about $12,000.
We did request and did receive a generous grant from the M.D. Anderson Foundation and a grant of over
$2,500 from the Josephine Anderson Charitable Trust. These foundation gifts were provided to us in order to
allow me to ameliorate part of the impact on our faculty when salary reductions were necessitated by cuts in
state funding.
When we add all of our gifts during the twelve months of 1986 they exceed contributions made in 1985 by
roughly $20,000. But I am sorry to report that we had a substantial drop in the number of contributors. Last
year we had the highest percentage of alumni support of any publicly supported law school in Texas. This
year I am not sure we retained our first place position.
When this year began we were facing substantial reductions in state support. These reductions were direct
outgrowths of the falling market for oil and gas. A closely related market drop has occurred for those involved
in agriculture. A necessary corollary is that there have been banks which experienced major difficulties and in
some instances, even failures. All of this adds up to a rather bleak picture for attorneys. I was quite worried
that we would suffer a major temporary reduction in contributions. It is a testament to the strength,
conviction, and generosity of our supporters that we actually received more.
All of us look forward to next year with hope that it will be a better year all around. Certainly the year looks
promising for our operations here at the Law School. We will complete the renovation of our large classroom
and complete the replacement of carpet in our public areas. In addition we are undertaking additional
landscaping, including the planting of trees on the Law School grounds, thanks to our graduating class of
1986. Our faculty continue to produce work that adds to the development of law at an unprecedentedly high
rate. New projects are being developed and advanced on a regular basis. We expect a continued stream of legal
educators, judges and practitioners to offer special lectures and seminars to our students here at the law
school. Our student advocacy teams continue to win local and regional competitions and compete for
national championships. Interest in our graduates continues to be very strong as indicated by activity in our
placement center. We have launched an ambitious and expanded continuing legal education program. The
Texas Tech University School of Law continues to excel by all of the measures of achievement applied to
legal education. This success is born of cooperation and support from President Lauro Cavazos, Vice
President Donald Haragan, our University Board of Regents and its new Chair, Wendell Mayes, Jr., our staff,
faculty, students, alumni and supporters. The array of talent is impressive and explains how we are able to
perpetuate excellence.
We must continue our collective cooperation and support in the future . We have completed city-wide annual
giving campaigns in Dallas (under William Allensworth) and in Amarillo (under John Huffaker). We must
complete such campaigns in all other Texas cities during this spring and summer. This campaign is vitally
important because even though our total contributions are up and our endowment gifts are up significantly,
our unrestricted annual gifts are down. Please remember to use the card in this Cornerstone to help erase this
shortfall.
Sincerely,
1v,r~~

Legal Research Board
Volunteers Critical to
Library
Squeezed by a budget reduction, the Texas
Tech University Law Library found its
books stacking up on carts rather than on
shelves where they could be found.
That's when the Legal Research Board
decided it could help, says board
Administrative Director Rebecca King, a
third-year law student from Post.
What the 14 members of the Legal Research
Board did was to each volunteer an hour a
week to re-shelve books.
,'We needed to have quick access to the
books, as do other law students," King said,
"but more than that we thought an hour a
week was a small price to pay to help the
law school deal with its budget cutbacks."
Associate Law Librarian Carolie R. Mullan
said the volunteer work has been critical to
the library, which was unable to hire
enough students to do the re-shelving. The
library last year had seven students to work
the desk and re-shelve books. Though four
of those students still remain on the
payroll, they are needed to man the
checkout desk, leaving no one to replace the
books on the shelves.
"We probably have 200 books a day that
must be re-shelved," Mullan said. " That
may not sound like many, but that's a lot of
books not to be available and many of them
are books that are regularly used. Though
we've all pitched in to get books back on
the shelves, the student volunteers have
helped us maintain our service."
In addition to the Legal Research Board,
Christian Legal Society members have been
helping on an as-available basis. The Legal
Research Board members, though, are
committed to a specific hour each week.
Mullan said that volunteer help plus an
increased library user awareness that books
should be re-shelved has benefited all users.
Legal Research Board faculty advisor David
C. Cummins said ready access is important
to the board because members do legal
research for attorneys and law firms, which
pay the Texas Tech Law School
Foundation for the work.
Law Dean Frank Newton said, "By the
nature of the work Legal Research Board
members do, they already benefit the law
school through the Foundation. But their
work in re-shelving books is a gesture that
goes beyond the call of duty. It's a sign of
the dedication of many Texas Tech
students to help deal with the University's
needs during this time of fiscal
uncertain ty. "

Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District presided over the panel of judges for the
advanced mock trial competition.
Shown with the judge are (I to r) student
competitors Joe Lovell, David Fisher, Thomas
Murphy and Kevin Young and Lubbock lawyer John
Dwyre '80 who also judged the competition.

Lovell and Murphy were the competition winners.
Federal Criminal Law
Course Added to
Curriculum
National Moot Court
Team Competes in Two
Competitions
The law school has added a course in
Federal Criminal Law to the curriculum,
and it is being taught for the first time this
semester by Professor Dan Benson. The
operations of the federal government in the
field of criminal law are widespread and
significant. Although in statistical terms
federal criminal law is a small part of the
overall criminal justice system in America,
the visibility, geographic spread, and
national importance of federal law
enforcement today warrants its separate
treatment as an advanced criminal law
course. The new course involves a detailed
treatment of specific federal offenses (crimes
such as RICO, mail fraud, the Hobbs Act,
terrorist acts abroad against U.S. nationals,
criminal civil rights violations), but there is
also emphasis on the jurisdictional bases
for federal criminal law, and treatment of
the state-federal relationship in the field of
criminal law enforcement. Professor
Benson shares the hope of Professor
N orman Abrams, author of the casebook
being used, that Federal Criminal Law can
be established as a traditional subject in the
law school curriculum in much the same
way that the subject of Administrative Law
was developed more than half a century
ago.
The Texas Tech National Moot Court
Team recently gained recognition in both
Regional and National competitions.
The team won second place and captured
Best Brief honors at the regional
competition sponsored by Southern
Methodist University in Dallas on
November 13-15. Both Tech and first -place
Baylor qualified for the National
Competition held January 26-30 in New
York City. The Tech team won two rounds
of the competition.
This year marked the eighth time in the last
eleven years that a Tech team has advanced to
the National finals.
The competition problem concerned the
issuing of subpoenas to defense counsel for
clients who are targets of a grand jury
investigation. The problem raised a Fifth
Amendment fundamental fairness issue and
Sixth Amendment right to counsel and
effective assistance of counsel issues.
This year's team members included Guy
Kidd of Austin, oralist, 2nd year; Lin
Hughes of Killeen, oralist, 3rd year; Wayne
Howell of Abilene, brief writer, 3rd year;
and Les Hatch of Lubbock, alternate, 2nd
year. The team was coached by Don Hunt.
The National Moot Court Team was sponsored by
Alvin R. A llison and Burnett Roberts, Trustees of the
Law School Foundation. The team members and

Stay Abreast oj Law
Seminar Well Attended
Two-Day Conference
Focuses on Patients} Rights
Over 300 attorneys attended the Law
School's first "on the road" Stay Abreast of
Law Seminar. The seminar was offered in
four areas including Midland/Odessa,
Amarillo, Abilene/San Angelo and
Lubbock on four consecutive Fridays in
October from the 10th through the 31st.
P a tients' rights were the focus of a two-day
conference co-sponsored by the Law School
on October 3 & 4 in Lubbock. Entitled
"Legal a nd Ethical Aspects of Autonomy in
the H ealth Care Setting," the conference
presented topics from varying view points
of e thics, law, religion and h ealth care
practice.
Speakers included members of the Tech law
faculty and practicing attorneys.
Representatives of the various local bar
associations served on the planning
committee and as presiding officers for the
programs.
( I to r) Professor J. Hadley Edgar; Baylor Dean
Charles Barrow, who was presiding officer at the
Lubbock Stay Abreast of Law Seminar; and Tom
Edwards ( '71 ) of Houston visit at the reception
following the seminar.
The largest registration was in Lubbock
with 112 lawyers followed by Amarillo
with 75. Midland/Odessa and Abilene/
San Angelo had attendance of 63 and 59
respectively.
The response in each of the areas was
extremely favorable in part due to the new
mandatory continuing legal education
requirement. Attorneys were able to
complete 7.5 hours of credit including an
hour of ethics wi th only a one-day
commitment of time and little or no travel
expense.
Participants commented on the quality of
speakers and the materials which numbered
over 400 pages.
This spring a commi ttee , comprised of
representatives of the participating bar
associations, will be formed to plan next
year's seminar.
The Stay Abreast of Law Sem inars attracted a la rge
n u mber of professionals, providing an exce llent
opportunity to obtain contin u ing legal education
credit.

Conference Held on
"Career Opportunities in

"Career Opportunities in Environmental
Law" was the subject of a seminar
sponsored at the Law School on October 16
by the Environmental and Natural
Resources Law Section of the State Bar.
Conducted primarily as a panel discussion,
the seminar focussed on the type of work
for environmental lawyers and the
advantages and disadvantages of the various
practices. Speakers stressed the fact that
environmental law practice largely involves
work before state or federal administrative
agencies and depends increasingly on
negotiations for settlements or consent
decrees.
Speakers included Keith Shuley from
Brown, Maroney, Rose, Barber and Dye in
Austin; Martin Wilson from the T exas
Water Commission; Brian Berwick with the
Environmenta l Protection Division of the
Attorney General's Office; Stuart N. H enry

Tech to Participate zn
Texas Placement
Consortium
6
Texas Tech law students will have the
opportunity to interview with over eighty
legal employers in Texas' first Off-Campus
Recruitment Program: A Law Placement
Consortium of Texas Law Schools. Set for
March 13 & 14 at the Colony Parke Hotel in
Dallas, the Texas Young Lawyers
Association - sponsored event is designed to
provide a cost-effective, efficient means for
legal employers to interview students from
all eight Texas law schools.
Co-chairs of the consortium, Tech Assistant
Dean Carolyn Thomas and South Texas
Law School Placement Director Peggy
Fortner say the program is beneficial to all
types of employers. "Employers with
infrequent hiring needs can use this
opportunity to schedule a full day of
interviews with students representing
diverse backgrounds and law schools. For
employers with formal and annual
recruiting programs, the consortium
represents an opportunity to supplement
these efforts with a minimum amount of
time investment," Fortner commented.
Thomas said plans for the event began last
spring during the Southeast Regional
meeting of the National Association for
Law Placement. "Peggy and I were
attending a session and listening to other
placement directors describe placement
consortiums within their states or cities. We
began exploring the idea of a Texas job fair
and gained immediate support from other
Texas placement directors and from then
TYLA president Dave Seidler. New TYLA
president Ken Raney kept the interest going
and appointed a 'Job Fair' committee to
pu t the consortium together."
Thomas said most consortiums begin with
participation from 10-25 law firms . At
Cornerstone press time, 85 employers had
registered for the program. "To say the
least, we are delighted with the
overwhelming response," she said.
First, second, and third-year students as
well as graduates are invited to participate
in the consortium. The majority of
interviews will be held on Friday, March 13
from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Saturday, March 14
from 9:00 am to noon is an optional day
reserved primarily for interviewing firstyear students.
Employers will be permitted to pre screen
student resumes, but will be asked to select
a minimum of two students from each
participating school. Remaining slots of
the twenty-two allotted interviews may be
filled at the employer's discretion.
A registration fee of $100 per employer
includes administrative costs of the
consortium, a hospitality suite, a
continental breakfast and a lunch on
Friday. Law students and graduates
participate free of charge, but are
responsible for their own transportation
and lodging in Dallas. A cocktail reception
for all participants has been planned for
Friday evening.
Thomas and Fortner say they are anxious
to gauge the success of this first program.
"We believe we have the potential to
provide a beneficial recruiting mechanism
for both firms and students and sincerely
hope this becomes an annual event,"
Thomas said.
Several Tech graduates have participated
on the Job Fair Committee including Steve
Barron '78, Odessa; John Rowley '80,
E1 Paso; David Seidler '76, Fort Worth; Jo
Ben Whittenburg '74, Beaumont; and Kelly
Utsinger '79, Amarillo.
Alumni who have questions about
participating in future consortiums may
contact Dean Carolyn Thomas at the Law
School.
