Texas Tech first opened its doors in the fall of 1925
with six 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 2nd
grown and can now lay claim to being a major university
with demonstrated strength in the arts, humanities, and
sciences. It contains six instructional colleges-Agricultural
Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business Adminis£ration, Education, Engineering, Home Economics-and a Graduate
School, in addition to the School of Law. It functions as do
its counterparts in Austin. College Station. and Houston under the guidance of the Coordinating Board. Texas College
and University System.
The Tex2S 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 faU 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 interdisciplinary research are at hand, such as the computer center, the Southwest Collection, and the library's expanding collection of
material in the general areas of the humanities. The University's most recent interest in research is reflected in its International Center for Arid and Semi-Arid Land Studies
which will focm the contributions of various academic disciplines on problems of these large segments 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 fcet. has a dry and invigorating climate.
The University Community
II
In 1963 the Board of Directors of Texas Tech pro-
The School of Law
vided for the addition of a School of Law. Subsequently,
this action was approved by tbe Coordinating Board, Texas
College and University System.
Instruction commenced in the fall of 1967 with a first
year class. In subsequent years, the school bas seen its first
gr:adU2tes .and the broadening of its curriculum to reflect
the University's commitment to excellence in legal education.
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 program prior to matriculation.
The School of Law is fully accredited. Final :approval
by the Supreme Court of T exu under the Rules Governing
Admission to the Bar of Texas was granted in 1968. The
school met the requirements for final approval by the American Bar Association at the earliest date possible and that
approval was formally conferred at the annual meeting in
Augwt. 1970. As a result, graduates of the School of Law
are qualilied to apply for admission to practice in any state
in the United SUtes.
The faculty maintains an active interest and participation in the affairs of the Association of American Law
Schools, and application for institutional membership in that
organization was acted upon favorably at 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 advocate,
counselor. judge. or law teacher. in accordance with the
highest traditions of professional responsibility. At the same
time recognition is given to the use 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.
The School of Law maintains equality of opportunity
in legal education, including equal opportunity to obtain
employment without discrimination on the grounds of race,
color, religion, national origin. or sex.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
A school of law differs from most undergraduate
university departments in that, like other professional
schools. it owes its allegiance not only to the university but
to the profession. In the resulting relationships. each law
school develops a personality of its own, and it is this chanacteristic personality which makes a particular school right
for some hut not for others.
By tradition. the faculties of schools of law do DOC
lecture. Rather. the emphasis is on the student's ability to
draw on his analytical powers and to present various sides
of the problem under discussion. The student's contribution is shaped and guided by the direction which the instructor's questions take. Natioruilly recognized ca.sebooks.
compilations of problems, and other standard matcr-ials
are used throughout the country, so that a student entering
law school in Texas may well be using the same book as his
counterpart on the East Coast or in the Pacific Northwest.
Therefore the personality of the school is not manifest in
the courses which are offered or in the teaching materials
employed by particular instructors. Rather the character
which a school devdops over the years is the result of the
interaction of the student body with a rich and varied faculty. Such a faculty, listed in this catalog, includes men with
a wealth of experience in teaching, administration, and legal
practice.
Though Texas Tech is one of the larger state universities,
Jaw classes from the first year through the third are of a
size which encourages and fosters close personal studentfaculty Contact and which enables each student to achieve
the ultimate benefit from his three years of formal legal
education. The curriculum presents many elective offerings,
including seminars of small enrollment during the third year.
Now that the first classes have graduated and obtained
outstanding positions in the legal and governmental communities, we look forward to future classes following in their
footsteps.

THE LAW LIBRARY
An essential ingredient of the study of law is learning
by doing· hence no law school can aspire to a position of
excellenc; witho'ut an outstanding library. A law school's
library facilities have been equated to the laboratory facilities associated with the physical sciences.
For maximum use by the student body, the library is
open over one hundred hours per week. Multi.ple copies of
select monographs, treatises, and reports are available so that
more than one team of students may study the same problem
at the same time.
In gwenl, the present collection of over 80,000 volumes may be divided into three basic categories: (I) Sources
of the law, including case reports, feder~ and state statutes,
and administrative decisions and regulatlOns; (2) Research
aids, such as digests, encyclopedias, and indexes; (3) ~~­
mentaries on the law, including treatises and legal penodlcals.
The School of Law currently is subscribing to more
than 585 periodicals. Complete .sets of over ~75 are.on the
shelves. The library has many loose-leaf servlC~ of. mterest
to students and practitioners alike and is expanding Its holdings in such specialized areas as labor law, ta~ti~n, and
legal medicine. The school's law library is the pnnclpal repository for legal materials within a radius 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 a supplement
to the law library.
TEXAS TECH LAW SCHOOL FOUNDATION
Incorporated on October 16, 1967, the Law School
Foundation was conceived as a vehicle for expanding the
law school's contribution to the life of the profession and
the community. In establishing the foundation as a nonprofit entity, its sponsors envisioned ~e found.ation. as a
device to develop the school's full potential, espeCially 10 the
years immediately following its creation. Just as the Bar
15
has long realized its obligation as a community leader, the
School of Law must assume its obligations both within and
without the university community. It is anticipated mat
the school's response to this challenge will justify the expectations of those who ace at work making the Law School
Foundation a viable force.
Fell"",, of the Foundation
Within the foundation, attorneys and ochers who have
felt a commitment to aid the school in achieving excellence
have become Fellows of the Foundation. Their contributions
aid the scholarship, practice court, and law review programs.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Scholarships, loans, and a limited number of part-time
positions are available in the School of Law and in the University. Awards of financial assistance are made on the basis
of academic promise and financial need.
Scholarship application forms are available from the
School of Law. In the case of entering students. completed
forms should be returned to the School of Law no later
than March 15 of the year in which the student intends
to enter. in order to receive fullest consideration for all
available scholarships. Applications for most grants and
loans are considered by the Scholarship Committee in July.
at which time the committee can inform itself of the applicant's performance during the preceding academic year.

PRELEGAL EDUCATION
The School of Law does not prescribe a definite pre·
legal curriculum for its applicants. The wide range of lawyers' tasks and the difference in offerings from school to
school preclude such an approach. However, there are certain goals which every prdaw student should keep before
him in planning his college program. He should strive to
acquire the ability to read, write, and speak the English
language well; to gain a critical understanding of human
values and institutioJ1S-"political, economic, and social; and
to develop in himself the power to th.ink creatively. His undergnduate training should result Dot 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 wock in accounting as
background for the courses in business entities and uxation. Typing skills wiU prove useful not only in the preparation of briefs and memoranda, but also for daily preparation
and examinations.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
Admission
An applicant mwt 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. An
applicant's record must be of sufficiently high quality to
demonstrate that he or she 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 States 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 rowt report the quantity of such work per week
and may be asked to withdraw from the school if the
24
25
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.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
An application form and additional information may
be obtained by writing to
Office of the Dean
School of Law
Texas Tech University
P.O. Box 4030
Lubbock, Texas 79409
The completed application should be returned to the above
address at the earliest opportunity after the beginning of the
applicant's senior year.
The last date for filing completed application forms is
July 1 for admission in August, but substantially earlier
filing is strongly recommended. Applicants filing after
March 1 will be at a considerable disadvantage 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 law school and consult with one or
more members of the law school faculty. A collection of current bulletins and announcements from all 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 information of assistance to prelaw
students.
Transcripts and LSDAS
A student may have his application considered after
completion of at least six semesters or nine quarters of undergraduate work. The applicant is required to register with
the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) by completing and mailing the registration form supplied with the
Bulletin of Information for the LSAT. A transcript from
each college or university attended should then be sent directly to LSDAS, Educational Testing Service, Box 944,
Princeton, New Jersey 08540. It is not necessary. at this
point, to forward transcripts to the School of Law.
The LSDAS will analyze the transcripts and forward
a report to the law schools designated on the registration
form. Upon admission, it will be necessary for the student
to submit to the School of Law two official copies of transcripts from all colleges or universities attended, which
include a showing of completion of requirements for a
bachelor's degree, except that students who have attended
Texas Tech University need submit only one copy of
their Texas Tech transcript, and students who are graduates
of Texas Tech need submit only one copy of transcripts
from other colleges or universities attended. Before admission, additional transcripts should be submitted to the
School of Law only in response to a special request.
Law School Admission Test
The applicant must take 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
that the applicant take the test no later than February
prior to prospective entrance to the School of Law.
Information concerning the test, application forms,
and a list of the testing centers may be obtained by applying
in person at the School of Law or by writing to Law School
Admission Test, Educational Testing Service, Princeton,
New Jersey 08540.
Good Character
The School of Law may deny admission to any appli.
cant who, in the judgment of the faculty, may appear to be
unfit in character to engage in the study or practice of law.
Declaration of Intention to Study Law
The State Board of Law Examiners of Texas makes the
following requirement:
sh~ll
Every person intending to apply for admission to the Bar of chis state
file wich che Secretary of the Board, not more chan sixty (60) d~ys

The above declaration shall be made on a form to be prescribed by
the Board, and shall show such facts as to the history, experience, and educational qualifications of the declarant as the Board may determine. It shall
name the law school in which the dedar:mt pwposes to study, which school
must be an approved law school.
Box
The forms may be obtained from Mrs. Alta Moore,
78711.
Students who expect to practice in other states should
J. Capitol Station, Austin, Texas
investigate possible similar requirements in such states.
Admission with Advanced Standing
A student who has studied at another approved law
school, and who is eligible to continue there in good standing, may apply for admission to the School of Law. If accepted, a transfer student will be eligible for advanced standing credit for acceptable work done at his former school.
The amount of advanced standing credit for which a student is eligible is determined on an individual basis. No
credit will be granted for courses in which grades are below
the average required for graduation at the school from which
the student wishes to transfer.
The applicant for admission as a transfer student
should comply with the procedure required for admission
to the first year class and, in addition, forward a letter stating
why he desires to transfer to Texas Tech.
FEES
To enable the student to estimate his expenses at the
time of entering the School of Law, the following information is offered.
Shortly after acceptance for admission to the School of
Law, each student must forward a $50 acceptance deposit, which will be applied toward his registration fee for
the fall semester. Total registration fees for first year students who are residents of Texas will he $64 per semester.
Students who are not residents of Texas must pay registration fees of $640 per semester. All students will have addi-
tional expenses of approximately $100 in fees and $75-$100
for books and supplies in the fall semester. These additional
fees and expenses for books and supplies will be less in the
spring.
A student over 21 years of age is considered to be a
nonresident unless he has resided in the state for other than
educational purposes for a period of 12 months immediately
preceding his enrollment. Additional information on determination of residence status is available from the
Registrar's office of the University.
For more detailed information regarding residency,
fees, veterans' exemptions from fees, and loans, please see
the General Catalog, 1972-1973.
HOUSING
Space is available in several comfortable and attractive
dormitories for unmarried law students. Inquiries and correspondence regarding room reservations in the residence
halls on campus should be addressed to the Reservation Center, Texas Tech University, P.O. Box 4629, Lubbock, Texas 79409.
Law students are free to select their own off-campus
housing. Because the campus is bounded on three sides by
residential areas, off-campus living quarters of all types,
including private dormitories, are conveniently available.
PLACEMENT
The School of Law maintains, on an equal opportunity
basis, a placement service which assists students in finding
legal and other positions during summers and upon graduation. As employment for young lawyers becomes more competitive because of the increasing numbers of law graduates,
contacts developed by our faculty and early graduates will
become ever more valuable.
29
PROGRAM OF STUDY
In order to be recommended for the J.D. degree by the
faculty of the School of Law, a student must have successfully completed a minimum of 90 semester hours, 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, required
courses, and grade 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 more than 16 hours in
any semester without special permission. There is no minimum course load requirement for students during a summer
session.
Acceleration

their work and to graduate in December of the third year.
In order to accelerate, a student must attend two summer
sessions.

rules or regulations. This power will not be exercised, however, to impose substantial detriment upon students enrolled
at the time of the change.
RELATED ACTIVITIES
Orientation 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 law. Advanced students may become adjunct members of the Lubbock County Bar Association. All students are encouraged 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.

Additional professionally rdated 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.
