Dear Dean l\mandes:
On behalf of the Board of Regents of Texas Tech, I am
pleased to congratulate you and the faculty on the
progress which has been made since the School of Law
opened in the Fall of 1967.
Of the School's many accomplishments since its inception, in particuLar the Board would single out the
excellent job which has been done in meeting fully the
accrediting requirements of both the American Bar
Association and the Association of American Law Schools
at the earliest possible date. Few programs of graduate
level instruction have made as much progress in so short
a period of time.
We trust now that you are settled in your new building we
can continue to expect the School to develop and contribute fully to the life of the university, the community
and the State.
Sincerely,
_.
The School of Law

Texas Tech fiest opened its doors in the fall of 1925
with sUe buildings and an enrollment of 910 students. Because of its unique location in the fertile South Plains and
because it was quick to assume a leading role among
schools in the Southwest, the institution has prospered and
g'cown and an now lay claim to being a major university
with demonstrated strength in tilt: arts, humanities, and
sciences. It contains six instructional colleges-Agricultural
Sciences, Ar:s and Sciences, Business Adminutration, Education, Engineering, Home Economics--and a Graduate
School, in addition to the School of Law. It functions as do
irs counterp2,rts in Austin, College Station, and Houston under the guidance of the Coord.inating Board, Texas College
and University System.
The Texas Tech University School of Medicine, a
separate institution, was authorized by the legislature, and
the legislation was signed by the governor on May 27, 1969.
Admission of the first students is planned for the fall of
1972.
Since it was established over forty years ago, Texas Tech
has grown to an institution with a student body of over
20,000 and a resident faculty drawn from all parts of
the world. Many special facilities for interdisciplmary re~arch are at hand, such as the computer center, the Southwest Collection, and the library's expanding collection of
material in the general ar~ of the' humanities. The University's most recent interest in researth is reflected in iu International Center for Arid and<'Semi-Acid land Studies
which will focus the contributions of various academic disciplines on problems of these large ~gmenu of the earth's
surface.
Texas Tech is located in Lubbock, a city of over 150,000
population, the commercial and financial "hub" of the prosperous South Plains region of Texas. The city offers an
unusually fine variety of cultural opportunities and, at an
altitude of 3,250 feet, has a dry and invigorating climate.
The University Community
II
In 1963 the Board of Directors of Texas Tech provided for the addition of a School of Law. Subsequently.
this action was approved by the Coordinating Board, Texas
CoUege and University System.
Instruction commenced in the faU of 1967 with a first
YC2.r class. In subsequent years, the school has seen its first
graduates and the broadening of its curriculum to reflect
the University's commitment to excellence in legal educ2tion.
Graduates of the School of Law receive the J.D. (Doctor
of Jurisprudence) degree in keeping with the trend throughout legal education for those who have completed a baccalaureate prognrn prior CO muricubrion.
The School of Law is fully accrrdited. Final approval
by the Supreme Court of Texas under the Rules Governing
Admission to the Bu of Texas was granted in 1968. The
school met the rtquire.menu for {mal approval by the American Bar Association at the earliest due possible and that
approval was formally conferred at the annual meeting in
August, 1970. As a result, graduates of the School of Law
are qualified to apply for admission to practice in any state
in the United States.
The faculty mainuim an active interest and participation in the affairs of the Association of American Law
Schools, :and applic2tion for in titut.ionaJ membership in that
organization was acted upon favorably :It the annual meeting
of the association in December, 1969.
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 advocare,
counselor, judge, or law teacher, in accordance with the
highest traditions of professional responsibility. At the same
time recognition is given to the usc of law as a steppingstone to a career in government, politics, or business. The
curriculum and the methods of instruction will be designed
to develop in the student his highest potential, whatever
may have been his reason for entering the school.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
THE LAW LffiRARY
A school of law differs from most undergraduate
university departments in that, like other professional
schools, it owes its allegiance not oo1y to the university but
to the profession. In the resulting relationships, each law
school develops a personality of its own, and it is this chanc·
teristic personaliry which makes: a particular school right
for some but not for others.
An essential ingredient of the study of law is learning
by doing; hence, no law school. can .aspire to a position 0'£
excellence without :m outstandmg library. A law school s
library facilities have been equated to the laboratory facilities associated with the physical sciences.
For mnimum use by the student body, the library is
open over one hundred boun per week. Multiple copies of
select monographs, treatises, wd reports are available so mat
more than onc (cam of students auy srudy the same problem
at the same time.
In general, the present col1ec~ion of o~er 70,000 volumes may be divided into three basiC c2tcgones: (1) Sources
of the law, including case reports, feden! and state statutes,
and administrative decisions and regul2tlons; (2) Research
aids, such as digests, encyclopedias, an.d indexes; (3) C:o~­
menurie:s on the law, including treat15eS and legal periodtcau.
The School of Law currently is subscribing to more
than 560 periodicals. Complete sets of over 275 are on the
shelves. The library has many loose-leaf services of interest
to stUdents and practitioners alike and is expanding its holdings in such specialized areas as .Iabor ~aw, tax~t~n, and
legal medicine. The school's law hbruy u the pnnclpal repository for legal materials within a radiw of more than
300 miles.
In addition, the main University library, a government
depository, contains a substantial number of legal. documents and other materials closely related to law which are
available to students in the School of Law as ;1. supplement
to the law libnry.
By tradition, the faculties of schools of law do not
lecture. Rather, the emphasis is on the student's ability to
draw on his analytical POWU'$ and to present vanow sides
of the problem under discussion. The student's contribution is shaped and guided by the direction which the instructor's questions uke. Complementing this so-called Socratic method is the use of the casebook which serves :as the
student's c1:assroom teXt. Nationally recognized casebooks
are used throughout the country, so that a student entering
l:a w school in T ex..., rna y weU be using the s:ame book as his
counterpart on the East Coast or in the Pacific Northwest.
There.fore the personality of the 5ChooI is not manifest in
the courses which are offered or in the teaching materials
employed by particular instruCtors. Rather the character
which a school develops over the years is the result of the
interaction of the student body with a rich and varied f:aculty. Such a £:acuIty, listed in this catalog, includes men with
a wealth of experience in te:aching, administration, and legal
praccice.
Though Tex:u Tech is one of the larger state universities,
law cl:asSe5 from the first year through the third are of a
size which encour:ages and fosters close person:aJ studentfaculty contact and which enables each student to achieve
the ultimate benefit from his three years of formal legal
education. The curriculum presents m:any elective offerings,
including seminars of small enrollment during the third year.
Now that the first classes have graduated and ob[ained
outstanding positions in the legal and governmental communities, we look forward to future c1:asses following in their
footsteps.

TEXAS TECH LAW SCHOOL FOUNDATION

Foundation was conceived as a vehicle for expanding the

completed in December, 1969, and was dedicated on February 23, 1970. It contains complete facilities for a projected enrollment of 585 by 1975. The entire building is
climate controlled for summer and winter comfort.
Project architects were Harrell + Hamilton of Dallas,
who received the Texas Architecture 1970 Honor Award
for their design of the building. Consulting architect was
Howard Schmidt & Associates of Lubbock. The general
contractor was H. A. Lott, Inc., of Houston.

PRELEGAL EDUCATION
The School of Law does not prescribe a definite pre~
legal curriculum for iu applicants. The wide range of lawyers' tasks and the difference in offerings from school to
school preclude such an approach. However. there are cer~
tain goals which every prelaw student should keep before
him in planning his college program. He should strive to
Admission
acquire the ability to read, write, and spuk the English
language wellj to gain a critical understanding of human
values and institutions-political. economic, and social; and
to develop in himself the power to think creatively. His undergraduate training should result not only in a quantity
of knowledge, but also in an understanding of the basis of
his knowledge, its degrees and conditions.
Two items deserve special mention. A student will find
it helpful to have some preliminary work in accounting as
background for the courses in business associations and taxation. Typing skiUs will prove useful not only in the prepara·
tion of briefs and memoranda, but also for daily preparation
and examinations.
REQUIREMENTS FOR 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 begins his work in the School of Law. An applicant's record
must be of sufficiently high quality to demonstrate that he
is qualified for the study of law. In exceptional cases, the
work of the last two college years will be weighed more
heavily than that of earlier years.
Applicants must also achieve a satisfactory score On the
Law School Admission Test, administered five times a year
throughout the United Scates and in many foreign countries
by the Educational Testing Service.
Students are admitted only in the fall. The School of
Law recommends that students devote their entire time to
the study of law. Students who are 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
25
24
excessive or appears to interfere with full-time study of
law. Outside employment should in no ca.se exceed 15 hours
per week.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
An application form and additional information may
be obtained by writing to

2pplicanc's senior year.
The lase due for filing completed application forms is
July I for entrance in Augwr.. buc substanti.al1y earlier
filing is strongly recommended. Applicants filing after
me
March 1 will be at a considerable disoadvantagc in competing
for the limited number of places available in the next entering class.
Students having questions concerning the study of law
or wishing information about law school admission policies
are urged to visit the I2w school and consult with one or
more members of the law school faculty. A collection of cur·
rent bulletins and a.nnounc~ments from :ill approved law
schools is on file for student use.
For those who cannot conveniently visit the School of
Law, listed on page 40 of this catalog are the official prelaw advisers on numerous campuses in Texas. They should
be able to provide much in forma cioo of assist2nc~ to prelaw
students.
T rameripts
The applicant who has received his degree should have
two official transcripts forwarded directly to the School of
Law from each college previously attended. Any student
who has attended Texas Tech will need to have only one
copy of his T exu Tech transcript forwarded to the School
of Law.
A student who is a candidate for a baccaJaureat~ degree:
in June or August may have his application considered prior
to receiving his degree:. He should submit one transcript of
his college work through the first ~ven semesters or ten
quarters. After completing his college work, the student
must complete his application by sending two official
transcripts showing receipt of degree and a total of two
official transcripts from all other colleges attended, except
that any student who has attended Texas Tech need have
only one copy of his Texas T~ch transcript forwarded to
the School of Law.
Applicants who intend to apply to several law schools

the law schools designated on the registration form. Upon
acceptance. it may be necessary to submit 11.0 additional
copy or copies of transcripts, which include a showing of
the award of a bachelor's degree, but only to the school in
which the applicant intends to enroll, rather than to several
schools. Before that time, additi9nal transcripts should be
submitted only in response to a special request from the
School of Law.
Law School Ad11l;niQn Test
The applicant must uke the Law School Admission
Test and request that his score be reported to the School
of Law. The test usually is given in October, December,
February, April, and July of each year. It is recommended

PROGRAM OF STUDY
In order to be recommended for the J.D. degree by the
faculty of the School of Law, :1 scudent must h:ave successfully completed a minimum of 90 semester hours. including
at least one seminar, normally accomplished in six semesters,
or five semesters and two summer sessions. First year students who fail to maintain a satisfactory average at the
end of their first year will be denied permission to continue
in the School of Law. Details regarding requirements of
study in residence, requi.red courses, and geade averages
are made available to students during registration.
The normal course load is regulated by the faculty of
the School of law. A student is expected to enroll for a full
academic load but may not take morc than 16 hours in
:loy semester without special permission. There is no minimum cou~ load requirement for students during a summer
.session.
Acceleration
The School of Law permits its students to accelerate
their work and to graduate in December of the third year.
In order to accelerate, a student must attend two summer
sessions.
Semillar Requiremellt
During the third year each student is required to complete satisfactorily a seminar. The purpose of this requirement is to permit the student, in close cooperation with a
member of the faculty, to engage in original research and
writing in an area of mutual interest.
Courtroom Practice alld
The Curriculum
TechlliqJl~
Throughout the student's law school career, he will
have an opportunity to participate in courtroom activities,
in the first and second year at the appellate level and during the third year at the trial and appellate levels.
During the third year, a student prosecutor program
is available which involves the clinical training of students
in the prosecution of actual crimes before appropriate courts
and juvenile tribunals.

Law Review
The Law Review is a professional legal journal managed and edited by law students. The Law Review publishes
both student-written notes and comments on various areas
of the law and leading articles by professors, judges, and
practicing attorneys.
Participation in Law Review work is both a recognition of superior academic achievement and a unique educational opportunity. Students who rank at the top of their
first-year class are invited to serve as Law Review candidates during their second year. The editorial board for the
following year is chosen from among the Law Review candidates.
The principal responsibility of Law Review candidates
is to produce during the year at least one publishable notc or
comment on a current legal problem. Their work is done
under the supervision of the student editorial board, with
the assistance of a faculty sponsor. Edicorial board members
not only supervise the second year work, but select and edit
the major articles contributed by nonstudents and continue
their own activities as contributors to the Law Review.
Fomm
Fomm, the Texas Tech School of Law honor society,
was founded for the purpose of encouraging legal scholarship and advanclng the ethical standards of the legal
profession. lts members are selected by the faculty from
those students who rank in the highest ten percent of the
third year class. The students selected from the class of
1971 were Bobby D. Burnett, Jack P. Driskill, Jess H.
Hall, Jr., Ernest R. Reeves, and John M. Sanders.
Cha1tge of Requirements
The faculty of the School of Law reserves the right
to change the schedule of classes, the program of instruction, the requirements for degrees, and any other similar
rules or regulatjons. This power will not be exercised, however, to impose substantial detriment upon students enrolled
at the time of the change.
RELATED ACTIVITIES
Orientat;01~ and Counseling
The School of Law is firmly committed to the "open
door" policy in faculty-student relations. From the first
academic contact during the week of orientation and introduction to the study of law until graduation, the faculty
is available for consultation with respect to registration, the
course of study, problems of general scholarship, and other
matters relating to the student's progress in school. With a
low student-faculty ratio and first year classes of no more
than 75 students, each student will have abundant opportunities for extensive personal contact with the faculty.
Professional Enrichment
Legal educators agree that student development is greatly aided by professional experiences outside the classroom
:and by frequent :and varied contacts with those engaged in
the active practice of the hw. Advanced students m:ay become adjunct members of the Lubbock County Bar Association. All students are encour:aged to attend meetings of
the Association :and various continuing legal education programs, in which the School of Law takes an active part.
The Court of Civil Appeals for the Seventh District sits in
the courtroom of the School of Law once each semester.
In addition, various state :agencies have held hearings in the
law school, where students are welcome.
On a more formal level, students are encouraged to
particip:ate actively in trial and appellate moot court
competitions, leading to statewide, regional, and n:ational
competitions among schools. Second and third year students
participate in the legal aid program of the Lubbock County
Bar Association and will be given the fullest responsibility
consistent with their experience and :ability.
Additional professionally related programs :and projects
will be instituted as the student body grows and as students
have the time to devote their efforts to these extracurricular
activities.
Texas Tech Studel1.t Bar Association
The Texas Tech Student Bar Association was organized
to promote the objectives of the School of Law. including
32
an appreciation for {air and imp:artial administration of
jwtice, the furthering of the professional ethical understanding of the students, cooperation and association among students, faculey, and the Bu. and the encouragement of active
