A MessageJrom the Dean
To Prospective Students:
Upon the resignation of Dean Frank W. Elliott. who left Texas
Tech School of Law to become president of the Southwestern
Legal Foundation, I was appointed to serve as Interim Dean. As
we look forward to the appointment of a new dean. I anticipate
that Texas Tech School of Law will continue Its growth tn the
quality of its student body. In the strengthening of its curriculum and faculty. and In tts financial support.
As a member of the faculty that has taught every class since
the Inception of the school r have seen many changes in the law
school. From temporary quarters In barracks buildings. the law
school moved to a modem facility housing aU the operations of
the law school. The library expanded its holdings and research
capabilities. Including the addition of our WESTLAW terminal.
and now provides selVtce not only to our student body. but to
attorneys and others requesting research assistance. As the
student body has grown In numbers. it has also grown in diverSity. Efforts to Increase the number of minority students are
continuing. and It is hoped that In the next few years even more
minority students wiU prepare themselves for the legal profession here. Our faculty continues to regard teaching as Its first
responSibility. We presently have an excellent teaching faculty
who also have been active In diversified fields of research.
FinanCial support from alumni and others interested In the
growth of the law school has increased each year. making possible the expansion of our oral advocacy programs and the
recognition of student achievement through gifts for awards
and scholarships. Recognizing the Importance of our placement
service to students. we recently completed a new placement area
that will provide more Interview rooms for the many firms now
coming to Texas Tech to interview our students for
employment.
This past year brought nationwide attention to Texas Tech
School of Law when our National Moot Court Team took first
place in competition. We are proud of the students who brought
this honor to the school and also of this evidence of the quality
of our program.
Our philosophy of legal education remaJns the same-that a
school with a smaller student body and dose faculty/student
contact does a better job of teaching students. We not only offer
students the opportunity to learn from dassroom experience
but also provide the opportunity for students to be In contact
with actual clients through our clinical programs and to test
the skills and knowledge they have gained. We hope to instill a
sense of ethical responSibility in our students as well as to provide an understanding of the processes and substance of the
law and the skiUs necessary for effective practice.
If you are looking for a school that will prepare you weU for a
career In law. we hope you will consider becoming part of the
proud tradition of Texas Tech.

The University Community
The School oj Law
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 the
'University's partiCipation 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 with four schools-Liberal Arts. Home
Economics, Agriculture, and Engineering. By action of the
Texas State Legislature. Texas Technological CoJlege 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 historical information pertaining
to West Texas and the near Southwestl. and the University
Library's expanding collection of material in the general areas
of the humanities. The Unlversity's most recent interest Is
reflected in its 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 adjacent to the law school are the Student Recreation
Building and the Aquatic Center that offer a wide variety of
indoor sports facilities in addition to an olympic size indooroutdoor swimming pool, tennis courts. and ball diamonds.
Texas Tech University is located in Lubbock. a city of nearly
180.000 population and the commercial and financial "hub" of
the South Plains region of Texas. The city offers an unusually
fine variety of cultural and recreational opportunities and at an
altitude of 3.250 feet has a dry and invigorating climate. Lubbock is easily reached from all parts of the state through its
regional airport and is also served by an Interstate bus line and
highway system.
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 1979 there were 225 students In
the entering class representing 29 Texas colleges and universities and 33 out-of-state schools. Total enrollment for the 1979
fall semester was 575. the majority of students being from
Texas but including students from 19 other states.
Efforts of the first administration were directed principally
toward hiring an outstanding faculty, developing the curriculum. atlracting 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 Association in February 1968: final approval was
granted in August 1970. The law school is also fully accredited
by the Supreme Court of Texas (1968) and by the Association of
American Law Schools (1969).
With the appointment of the second dean of the school. Frank
W. Elliott. a new era of growth began with emphasis upon
financial support. placement of graduates. and service to the
profession through more continuing education programs.
Upon the resignation of Dean Elliotl. Professor Richard W. Hemingway was designated to serve as interim dean until a new
dean is appointed.
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 responslbllity. At the same time recognition Is given to
the use of law as a stepping-stone to a career In government.
politics. 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
12
13
designed to provide aJl facilities needed for the student body. 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 are serviced byelevators. Special programs designed to improve the services avaJla·
ble 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 are located on the Texas Tech
campus.
Statement on Nondiscrimination
It Is the polley of Texas Tech University School of Law not to
discriminate on the basis of sex. handicap. race. color. religion.
or national or ethnic origin In its educational programs. admissions policies. employment policies. financial aid. and other
school-administered programs. This policy is enforced by federallaw under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Title V1 of the Civil RJghts Act of 1964. and secllon 504 of the
RehabiHtation Act of 1973. Inquiries regarding compliance
with these statutes may be directed to Dr. Robert H. Ewalt at the
Office of Student Affairs. 213 Administration BuIlding. telephone (806) 742-2131. or to the Director of the Office of Civil

dents once they have completed the basic Legal Research and
Writing course. There are tentative plans to incorporate WESTlAW and its application to practical legal problems Into fOllTlal
course aSSignments. Meanwhile. students have the benefit of
the tellTlinal In completing research projects related to their
course work. New data bases and capabilities have been added
to WESTLAW since its inception in 1975. and more are anticipated. Access to the terminal provides law students with the
opportunity to develop familiarity with a resource that gives a
new dimension to legal research.
The law library has recently 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 typewriters.
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 bibUographlc data from
thousands of other participating libraries and speeds the preceSSing and cataloging of new books. making them accessible
within days of their arrival.
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 132.000 volumes tn
its collection. provides a vast amount of primary source matetial. InclUding statutes. Judicial opinions. administrative regulations. and an extensive selection of secondary sources. such
as treallses. 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 acceSSibility of assigned readings to aU
students.
As a supplement to the traditional legal research sources. a
WESTLAW computer terminal. providing the means to retrieve
relevant InfollTlation qUickly and efficiently. is available to stu-
Ubrary assistants Joyce KIker and Gem Billingsley help students Judi Robert·
son. Patrfela Boyd. Joaquin Rodrtguez. and Norbert Garney find library
materials.
14
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.
Texas Tech Law Schoo! Foundation
The Texas Tech Law School Foundation was established
through efforts of the legal community in the fall of 1967 to
assist the law school in funding activities to expand its program
into areas not supported by state funds. Since its creation. the
Foundation has provided funds for scholarships. travel
expenses for student organizations and student competittve
teams. promotion of alumni activities and bar relations. continuing legal education. placement activities for Its graduates.

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 pre-law
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 criUcal understanding of human values and institutions-political. ec0nomic. 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 wtll find It helpful to have some prellmlnaJYwork In accounting as background
for the courses In business entities and taxation. Typing skills
wtll prove useful not only In the preparation of briefs and
memoranda but also for dally preparation and examinations.
RequirementsJor 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 slx 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 of law. 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 heav1ly than that of earlier 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. service in the militaJY. Peace
Corps. or Vista and the applicant's statement of purpose. Letters of recommendation are not reqUired. but if an applicant
wtshes to have such letters considered. those from fonner professors are most helpful.
30
31
Students are admitted only in 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
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.

cribed under "Programs of Study") should be made to both the
School of Law and the Graduate School of Texas Tech UniverSity. Applications to the Graduate School can be obtained by

accepted by each to be eligible for the program. If a student Is
undecided about whether to pursue one of the joint programs.
application to the Graduate School can be delayed until the
beginning of the third semester in law school.
Students having questions concerning law school admission
policies may find the Prelaw Handbook (mentioned In more
detail under "Law School Admission Test") generally helpful.
Students with specific questions should feel free to contact the
School of Law. Due to the large number of applicants and to
limitations on time. Interviews cannot be granted. Admission
decisions are made by evaluating the application materials on
the basis of spedfied criteria Applicants should submit all
materials they wish the Admissions Committee to consider and
should supplement their applications as the need arises.

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 of at least 6 hours each. First year students who fail to

School of Law. A student. Is expected to enroll for a full academic
load but may not take more than 16 hours tn any semester
wtthout special permission. There is no minimum course load
requirement for students during a summer session.
The J.D. program provtdes a general background in law. but
the cuITtculum Is broad enough that students may through
their choice of electives emphasize a particular area of the law
such as tax law. estate planning. envtronmental law. criminal
law. international law. litigation. public law. property. or
business-related law.
Doctor oJ Jurisprudence-Master oj Business
Administration
In addItion to separate degree programs in law and business.
the School of Law and the Graduate School of Texas Tech Uni·
versity also offer ajolnt program of study leading to the degrees
of Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) and Master of Business
Administration (M.BA). The Joint degree allows a student to
complete the requirements for both degrees In three or four
years. depending upon the extent of leveling in business
courses reqUired.
The program Is designed principally for the student with
nonbusiness undergraduate training who wishes to acqUire a
broad bUSiness knowledge to complement legal training. For
this student. up to 22 hours of leveling may be reqUired prior to
commencing the graduate business courses, resulting in a total
of 124 hours of law and business courses. For the student wIth
the appropriate business background, however. the degree may
be secured without leveling and wtth the completion of a total of
102 hours of law and business courses. To satisfy the 90 hours
of law for the J.D. degree and the 36 hours of business for the
M.BA degree. 12 hours of approved law courses are transferred
as elective credit to the M.BA and 12 hours of approved graduate business courses are transferred as elective credit toward
the J.D. degree.
The first year of study consists enllrely oflaw courses. During
the second year. the rematnlng required law courses are to be
completed together with selected law electives and an appropriate number of graduate business core courses. The third year
involves study In both schools.
The Joint degree program is of particular benefit for students
who contemplate careers In public servtce or professional management or who want to prepare for a specific field such as
tax-accounting. banking. real estate. collective bargaining. or
international business. It will enable such sludents to study.

J.D./M.BA and Involves the cooperative efforts of the School of
Law. the Graduate School. and the Department of Agncultural
Economics. To fulfill the 9O-hour reqUirement for the J.D.
degree and the 36-hour reqUirement for the M.S. degree, 12
hours of credit of approved courses from the Graduate School
and the School of Law are applied to the degree earned in the
other school. Thus. to complete the joint degree program. the
student wtll take 78 hours of law and 24 hours of graduate
38
agricultural economics. A comprehensive examination over the
18 hours of core course material for the M.S. degree must be
passed as a requirement for the degree. The first year of study In
the combined degree program is devoted exclusively to the
study of law. After the first year, courses In the graduate division of the Department of Agricultural Economics and the
School of Law may be studied concllrrently.
Admission to the School of Law and the Graduate School
must be secured separately. An acceptable Graduate Record
Examination score is a prerequisite to admission to the Graduate School and the M.S. portion of the program.

A student may complete the requirements for a Master of
Public Administration (M.PAl and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) in
approximately four years If the student Is enroUed In the Center
for Public Service and the School of Law for the combined
degree program. Each school accepts 12 hours of credl t for
approved course work completed In the other school to fulfill
the requirements for its degree. thereby reducing the total
number of hours required for both degrees. Thus. to fulfill the
requirements for the joint degree program. 78 hours oflaw and
33 hours of graduate courses in the M.PA program must be
completed. Included within the 33 hours for the M.PA portion
is an internship aSSignment In a government office for which 6
hours of credit is awarded together with courses selected from
among reqUired and elective courses within one of the seven
specific fields of concentration. The first year of study consists
entirely of law courses. The student may elect to take the
reqUired year of resident study at the Center for Public Service
In the second or third year of the program. The remaining
period of study may involve both schools.
Application for admission should be made separately to the
Graduate School and the School of Law. Admission to the
Graduate School and the M.PA portion of the program should
be processed during the student's first year of law school. but
no later than the end of the student's fourth semesier In law
school. The Graduate Record Examination must be taken and
