NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
ORIGIN AND GROWTH
A charter establishing "the North Western University" was granted on January
28, 1851, to nine young Chicagoans-three lawyers, a physician, two businessmen ,
and three leading Methodist ministers. It was their dream to establish "a university
of the highest order of excellence" to meet the educational needs of the rapidly
developing territory of the northwest.
They decided to set up their university, not in the raw metropolis of Chicago,
but in the virgin wilderness twelve miles to the north. With their meager funds
6
�they bought 380 acres of land, now the campus and the central part of the city
of Evanston, erected a modest frame building, and in November, 1855, opened
their "university." It consisted of ten young men and two professors.
Despite the difficulties caused by the Civil War, recurring financial panics, and
the disastrous Chicago fire of 1871, the young university survived and grew. Gradually professional schools of medicine, law, and dentistry were affiliated. Specialized
new departments branched out from the original "College of Literature and
Science." In 1869 a daring step was taken and women were admitted.
One of the momentous events in the University's history occurred in 1926,
when the great Chicago Campus was ded icated. Its magnificent bui ldings for the
Medical and Dental Schools, the School of Law, and the evening divisions were
the finest in the country. Later the evening and graduate Schools of Commerce
were established.
Today Northwestern is an institution of world-wide influence, with 75,000
living alumni. Its thirteen schools are located on two campuses, with land and
buildings valued at $34,000,000. The full-time enrollment of the University is
about 8,500 students; of this number approximately 6,900 are enrolled on the Evanston Campus. The faculty consists of approximately 1,050 members. The bound
volumes in the libraries of the University total approximately 1,050,000. Through
the years it has given educational training to more than a quarter of a million students , made many significant contributions to knowledge through research, and
benefited thousands through its clinics.
THE LAW SCHOOL
T
FOUNDING AND LOCATION
was founded in 1859 by Thomas Hoyne. In 1873, as the
Union College of Law, it came under the joint control of Northwestern University and the old University of Chicago . When the latter institution ceased to
exist, the School came under the control of Northwestern University, and in 1891
became Northwestern University School of Law. The School is located on the
Chicago Campus in two buildings erected in 1925, overlooking Lake Michigan at
Lake Shore Drive and Chicago Avenue, within a few minutes' walk of Chicago's
Loop district.
HE SCHOOL OF LAW
BUILDINGS
Levy Mayer Hall is the gift of the late Mrs. Levy Mayer in memory of her
husband, an eminent member of the Chicago bar. The Elbert H. Gary Library
Building and the library which it houses are the gifts of the late Elbert H. Gary,
of the Class of 1867. A beautiful cloistered garden, enclosed by an arched wall
connecting the wings of the two buildings, is the gift of Mrs. Hortense Mayer
Hirsch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levy Mayer.
The main entrance to Levy Mayer Hall is on Chicago Avenue. On the first
floor is the entrance lobby, which opens to the south onto the garden arcade;
to the east into Lowden Hall, a commodious lounge named for Governor Frank
0. Lowden, one of the School's distinguished alumni. To the west, a corridor leads
to majestic Lincoln Hall, which has a seating capacity of approx imately four
hundred persons.
On the second floor are the general offices overlooking the garden, professors'
offices, and Booth Hall, with a seating capacity of 140, named for Henry Booth, the
7
�first professor and dean of the School from 1859 to 1891. The entrance to the
alcoved reading room of Elbert H. Gary Library, the Librarian's office, and the
offices and stack rooms beneath is also on this floor. From within, the two buildings seem as one.
On the third floor are the Faculty Room, professors' offices, Hoyne Hall,
named for Thomas Hoyne, the founder of the School, and Hurd Hall, named
for Harvey Bostwick Hurd, a professor from 1863 to 1902, both classrooms with
seating capacities of 80 to 100 persons.
On the fourth floor are study and seminar rooms, each of which accommodates
from six to fifteen students. On the ground floor are lockers, storage and supply
rooms, mimeographing service, vaults, showers, etc.
The halls, classrooms, offices, lounges, study and reading rooms of the buildings are spacious and artistically finished and appointed. On the walls are numerous paintings and etchings of eminent judges and lawyers from many countries,
also many reproductions and photographs of documents, trials, and persons famous
in legal history.
The surroundings of gardens, parks, and Lake Michigan and the tall buildings
of the other schools to the west give the School seclusion in the heart of a great city.
PROGRAM OF THE SCHOOL
The School does not confine its interests to any particular locality or region.
Its students are drawn from all parts of the country and indeed from all over the
world. Nevertheless, its geographical location presents opportunities and imposes
responsibilities which are influential in shaping its program.
The Middle Western region includes a wide variety of interests. Here are the
instruments of industry and trade in all of their forms, centers of control for extensive business enterprise, institutions that supply credit, protection, communication, transportation, and numerous other services; and here necessarily are agencies
of government at all levels. It is possible for the School to draw upon this area for
much that is valuable in its educational program. Leaders of the legal profession,
of government, and of business are within reach to share with students and faculty
their wisdom and experience. Faculty members, working in bar association committees, counseling in government, arbitrating disputes between management and
labor and otherwise participating in the affairs of the community, are able to
impart to the classroom discussions an increased significance and vitality.
The School also recognizes its responsibility in contributing a service to the
interests and population of this area and in training young men and women in
the processes of law and government to deal with the multitude of problems and
conflicts that necessarily arise in a section which concentrates so varied an assort;
ment of activities within a single community. To this end it offers training in
the skills and tradition of the lawyer's craft; it provides scholarships and fellow ships for those who show high promise and would otherwise be unable to obtain
adequate professional training. The periodicals which it publishes foster research
by students and faculty and provide a means of making available the results to
the bar and to the public. Buildings, library and living quarters furnish a
stimulating environment for a wholesome intellectual and professional life. The
program as a whole is designed to maintain a close contact with the current realities of the legal world, and at the same time to hold fast to the cultural values
essential to a learned profession.

�PRELEGAL STUDY
Among the many values to be derived from college study, maturity is of peculiar importance to the study of law. Such maturity comes from rigorous intellectual discipline derived from the mastery of any study undertaken by a student,
rather than from the mere content of the subject matter. Although students may
enter the School of Law with three years of college preparation, it is the opinion
of the Facu lty that, except under special circumstances, on ly re latively mature
students should enter before securing an academic degree.
The preparation for the study of law is an individua l problem. Ordinarily a
student would do well to follow a Bachelor of Arts or Science program with
emphasis on English, history, econom ics, and political science. In addition, time
shou ld be found for courses in speech, accounting, and statistical method. But
students differ widely in their tastes, and college courses vary greatly in the stimulation and discipline afforded the student. The School, therefore, does not prescribe particular courses for admission. In this it follows the policy of the Association of American Law Schools. Students who are preparing to enter the School of
Law shou ld consult with their co llege pre legal advisers.
DEGREES
Degrees will be conferred by the Trustees of the University upon students who
are recommended therefor by the Faculty of the School of Law. Before a student
will be recommended for a degree , he must have satisfied the Faculty as to h is
character and must have complied with the requirements of the degree for which
he is a candidate.
DEGREE OF JURIS DOCTOR
The degree of Juris Doctor will be conferred upon students admitted on the
basis of a bachelor's degree in arts or science from an approved college (not
including any credit for law study) upon the satisfactory completion of 90 semesterhours of credit in the School of Law, during a residence period of three academic

residence period of three academic years or the equivalent.
II. By a vote of the Faculty upon petition a special student may become a
candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Laws upon the following conditions:
(a) At the time of beginning his studies in this School the student must have
been at least twenty-three years of age.
(b) The student must have completed at least · one academic year of work in

�(d) The student must satisfy the Faculty, apart from formal proof of his
general education, that he has had such exceptional education, training, or experience as in its judgment qualifies him to be a candidate for the degree.
When so admitted, the candidate shall be entitled to receive the degree of
Bachelor of Laws on the same conditions required of other candidates for the
degree, except that he must have achieved a minimum grade average of 74.
Where in the opinion of the Faculty the candidate's record of scholarship is one
of distinction or special distinction, the degree Bachelor of Laws may be awarded
cum laude or magna cum laude.
DEGREE OF MASTER OF LAWS

obtained a first degree in law from this or some other university or college having
equal requirements in that regard. In unusual cases this requirement may be
waived by vote of the Faculty.

following conditions:
(a) The completion of one academic year of residence in this School, during
which time cred it must be obtained for not less than 15 semester-hours in courses
not prev iously counted toward the first degree in law.
(b) The completion of a thorough study of some approved legal topic and
the presentation of a paper embodying its results, of such character as to be suitab le for publication in the Northwestern Univers ity Law Review.
(c) The passing of a n examination covering his general legal attainments.
DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF JURIDICAL SCIENCE
The degree of Doctor of Juridica l Science-Scientiae Juridicae Doctor (S.J.D.)
-may be conferred upon candidates who have obtained the degree of Juris Doctor
from this or some other university or college having equal requirements for that
degree, or have obtained the degree of Bachelor of Laws from another university
or college whose requirements for that degree are equal to those prescribed by
this School for the degree of Juris Doctor.
A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science will be required
to meet the following conditions:
(a) The completion of one academic year of residence at this School. The
time required for the completion of a candidate's work, however, will normally
run far beyond the period of residence required.
(b) The completion of a study to be approved by the Faculty or its proper
committee. This study shall be one involving original research and must be completed in such manner, as to both subject matter and literary form, as to be, in
the opinion of the Facu lty, a significant and scholarly contribution to legal science.
The mechanical form of the manuscript shall be subject to the approval of the
Faculty.
(c) The completion of su ch other work, if any, as may be directed by the
Dean in the particular case.

II
�scholarly objective. Candidates are afforded e,ery facility for both library and
field research, and at some time during their residence they are given the opportunity of instructing students along the line of their research. They are given the
rank of graduate fellow and are accorded many of the privileges of members oE
the Faculty. The opportunities afforded by the School and the community for
graduate study are in all pract ical respects unlimited.
COMBINED DEGREES
DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS OR SCIENCE
I. The degree of Bachelor of Arts or Science will be conferred upon students
who have secured credit in the College of Liberal Arts of this University for 135
quarter-hours, in accordance with its requirements (see University Register for
particulars), upon the further satisfactory completion oE 27 semester-hours oE the
first-year courses in the School of Law, or upon the completion of such equi,·alent
courses in the School of Law as may be approved by the faculties of the School
of Law and the College of Liberal Arts.
II. A student presenting three years of college credit (90 semester-hours) from
another approved
college oE arts and sciences, may, upon the satisfactory completion
of the first year's work in the School oE Law, receive from the Faculty a certificate
requesting the faculty of his original college to recognize his work in this School
of Law as the equivalent of a fourth year i n co llege and to r ecommend him for
the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Science in that co ll ege or university.
DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN LAW
The degree of Bachelor of Scie nce in Law wi ll be conferred upon s-r.udent:s who
are admitted to the School of Law on the basis of three years (90 semester-hours)
of college credit, and who are not candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts
or Science, upon the satisfactory completion of the first year's work in the School
of Law with a grade average of not less than 68.
APPLICATION FOR DEGREE
Application for a degree must be made in writing and filed with the Secretary
during the period the candidate is registered in the School. The graduation fee
must be paid at the same time. An application for a degree will not be accepted
after a student's registration has terminated.
EXAMINATIONS
Regular examinations are given in all formal courses. They are for the purpose
of affording a basis for the determination of the student's relative ma ste ry oE the
subject upon which he is examined. Although examinations provide the most
important source for this purpose, the written work done in connection with a
course, the preparation of assignments for recitation as reflected in classroom discussion, the contacts generally with the professor in charge incident to the development of a course, are all of great value in rating the standing of a student.
Examinations in individual or seminar studies may or may not be given, depending upon the character of the subject and the nature of the instruct ion.
No 1·e-examination will be given in any course for the purpose of ra1s111g a
grade obtained therein on a prior examination unless the student again regularl y
12
�takes the course, or in the case of individual studies, does further work as may
be required.
Students who are eligible, but for good reason are unable to take an examination, may with the permission of the Dean take the next regularly scheduled
examination in the course. No special examinations are given.
GRADES
The grading system is numerical. A grade of 85 or above represents work of
the highest distinction. Grades of 68 and above indicate various degrees of satisfactory work. Credit is given for courses in which the student receives a grade
from 55 through 67, but such grades indicate unsatisfactory work. No credit is
given for a course in which a grade of less than 55 is received.
A student who at the end of any term after his first term in School has failed
to maintain an average of 68 to that date is ineligible for further registration in
the School.
A student who fails to attain an average grade of 68 over. his entire course is
ineligible for a degree.
In studies and courses in which no formal examination is given, only grades of
P or F will be recorded, except that work done in seminars in which written papers
are required may be given a numerical grade.
Grades received at other schools are not considered in determining the average
grade .
CURRICULUM*
1952-1953
TIME
By attending in the summer terms a student may complete his entire course
in less than twenty-nine months from the date of entrance. This program requires
attendance for forty-one weeks in the year. If a student elects not to attend the
summer term, he may complete the course in three years.
INSTRUCTION
The work of the first year is designed to give the student an understanding of
the basic legal principles and concepts. In the second and third years, courses
dealing with related subject matters are scheduled in the same term where experience indicates that this is of advantage to the student. In the third year the
student is offered a choice among a number of courses and seminars. Although
the School in the work leading to the first degree in law does not attempt to
train specialists, it is possible in the third year for a student to devote a part of
his time to a specialized field.
In the basic courses of the first year case analysis predominates, but there is
also opportunity for lectures and library work as well as for exercises in written
and oral expression under close supervision of faculty and staff members. In the
second and third years, case analysis diminishes while problem study, seminars,
research, writing, discussion and lectures increase.
It is recognized that problems of law, especially those dealt with in the more
advanced courses, are closely related to problems of business and government.
*In the description of courses, the figure in parentheses following the designation of each
course represents credit•hours.
13
�Consequently, in order to provide adequate trammg for the practice of law, materials from other disciplines are integrated with legal studies and extensive use
is made of lecturers drawn not only from the profession but from the business
community and government.
LIMITATION OF WORK
Courses totaling 15 credit-hours in each semester, in the opinion of the Faculty,
represent the maximum amount of work which a good student can do effectively
under favorable conditions, and no student will be permitted to register for additional courses. A student who is under any serious handicap, such as physical
disability, the necessity of earning part of his expenses, or commuting for long
distances, should reduce his program. A student may be limited in his registration if in the opinion of the Dean he cannot undertake a full schedule with a
prospect of success.

makes all adjustments on student bi-lls. These bills are mailed to the student's address indicated on the billing card filled out by the student at the time of 1·egistration. Each b ill is clue ten clays from its date and is paid at the Cashier's Office, first
floor, Abbott Hall. Each student is responsible for' receiving his bi ll. In the event
I hat a tuition bill is not received within three days from the date of registration,
I he student should make application i_mmediately at the Division of Student
Finance. The clu e dates of bilJs cannot b e extended because students fail to recei,·e
their bills.
�Financial Obligations. No student who is delinquent in the payment of tu1t10n
or other fees, or against whom the U niversity holds record of indebtedness, will be
given a diploma of graduation, a certificate of scholastic standing, or a transcript
of record, until such indebtedness h as been full y p aid . A student who owes tuition
or other fees at the close of a term will not be permitted to take his final examinations or to receive credit for that term. R egistration in the U niversity is provisional
and subject to cancellation by the Director of Student Finance at a ny time until
bills a re paid.
Withdrawals ancl R efunds. Official withdrawal blanks are available at the office
of the School of Law. Students who withdraw before the end of the first one-eighth
of the term are held for no charge other than the matriculation fee. Students who
withdraw after the first one-eighth of the term and before the end of one-fourth
of the term are h eld for a ll fees plus one-fourth the tuition charges. Students wh o
withdraw after the first one-fourth of the term and b efore the middle of the term
are h eld for all fees plus o ne-h alf of the tuition cha rges. Stud ents who withdraw
after th e middle of the term are held for all fees and tui tion charges. In the case
of excl usion for nonpayment of tuition, the same charges a re made in accordance
with the above dates. In all cases the date o n which the official withdrawal notice
is received at the Student Finance Office, or the date of formal ex clusion, is used
in figuring an y adjustments on tuition.
Students Entering Military Service. If a student in good standing withdraws
from the U nivers ity after the middle of a quarter or a semester, because h e h as
been called into or volunteers for the armed services of the U nited States, he will
receive full academ ic credit for the quarter or semester, with grades as of the date
of his withdrawal, but no refund o f tuitio n . If he withdraws before the middle of
the semester or quarter, h e will receive a refund of a ll tuition and fees he has paid

fac ulty and staff members listed on the regular twelve-month payroll of the Un iversity; (b) dependent sons and daughters of such persons; (c) full-time employees
of affili ated institutions.
A full-time faculty or staff member will be granted a rebate of 50 per cent of his
tuition charges with a maximum rebate each term of 25 per cen t of the established full -tim e tuition rate. This rebate limitation recognizes that the full-time
faculty member or staff emp loyee cannot carry, with justice to his work, more
than h alf of the academic program.
Appli cation blanks for these rebates are ava ilable at the Student Finance Office,
Abbott Hall, and must be filed with that office before registration each tenn.
Students should call for their rebate checks at the Division of Student Finance,
Abbott Hall, one clay before their tuition bills become due. R ebate ch ecks are

a t the Cash ier's Office, Abbott Hall, as an accommodation to students. Students
may write only counter ch ecks against their depos its, payable to themselves. There
is no charge for this service, and no interes t is paid on deposits.

�General Exj;enses. The expenses of a student for the academic year, including
tuition, books, board and room, and incidentals, approximate $1,700.
THE ELBERT H. GARY LIBRARY
The Elbert H. Gary Library of some 154,000 vol umes represents chiefly the gifts
of the late Elbert H. Gary , LL.B., 1867, LL.D ., 1922. It ranks among the six largest
law school libraries in the United States and includes substantiall y all the reported
decisions of the courts of the United States, its separate states and territories, Great
Britain, Canada, and Australia, together with their statutes and session laws, and all
subsidiary publications-digests, encyclopedias, annotated cases, textbooks , periodicals, bibliographies-necessary to form a complete working collection of Anglo -American law. This collection is supplemented by a selection of publications in the fields
of history, economics, government, and the other social sciences. The Library receives every current legal periodical of general interest printed in the English
language.
In addition, there is a very representative collection of volumes on comparative
law, which includes the codes, decisions, and journals of all modern European
countries, adequate resources for research in Roman and mediaeval Jaw, and a
good working collection of volumes on Japanese and Chinese law. The Theodore
S. Chapman and Robert 0. Farrell collections of Mexican law supplement a useful
group of some five thousand volum es on Latin-American law. A large collection
of treatises and periodicals on international law is supplemented by many treaties
and diplomatic documents, and the whole permits useful work to be carried on in
the field of public international Jaw. The Library maintains a comprehensive collection of volumes and documents on the criminal law and its adm inistration and
a special collection of materials on aeronautics, including aviation law, commerce,
and other works in the field, exclusive of technical engineering publications.
In connection with the University Centennial Celebration, the Northwestern
Law Alumni Association recently raised a fund of more than $150,000 for the purchase of books for the Library. This is called the John Henry Wigmore Library
Fund, in honor of the memory of the Dean of the School of Law from 1901 to
1929, whose great learning and scholarly interest contributed in such a vital way
to the building of the collection.
The Library is open daily throughout the year, and in the evenings as well
whenever the School is in session .
PICTURES
The School's collection of pictures, now numbering some 2,500 pieces, copiously
illustrates the history, personnel, and customs of the legal profession, not only in
Great Britain and the United States, but all over the world. It represents acquisitions accumulated during the past thirty years, partly by purchase, partly by gift
from alumni and other friends. Personal search has been made in nearly every
country of Europe for portraits and scenes to illustrate other systems of law; many
of these are unique and irreplaceable.
The collection includes some forty oil paintings, and about 1,500 etchings and
engravings. A special series is a set of twenty large platinum photographs of portraits of eminent British judges in the National Gallery of Portraits, colored by a
London artist to show the costumes. The larger portraits are framed for display on
the walls of the lecture rooms, library reading room and corridors.

ABBOTT HALL
All law students except ma_rried students and those whose homes are within
easy commuting distance of the School are expected to Jive in Abbott Hall. It is
designed to provide convenient and attractive living quarters and to provide an
atmosphere in which may be developed all those qualities of personality which are
so essential to a lawyer, but which for the most part fall outside the sphere of
formal training.
The building, eighteen stories high , overlooks Lake Michigan on Lake Shore
Drive from Huron to Superior Street. It is constructed of Indiana limestone and
conforms in architectural style to the classroom buildings on the campus. The first
two floors and the basement are given over to common rooms for social and recreational purposes, the upper sixteen to private accommodations. The first floor contains general waiting rooms and offices and a series of shops. On the second floor
are several commodious and attractive lounges, a fountain-grill , and two large dining rooms which offer cafeteria service. In addition there is a lounge and common
living room on each of the upper floors. Athletic facilities for bowling, squash, and
33
�ping-pong, in addition to a well-equipped exercise room, are available in the basement. A parking lot for the use of occupants is adjacent.
Three floors are reserved for the students of the School of Law-the 10th and
11th floors for men; the I 8th floor for women. Double study-bedrooms, some of
them with private baths, are avai lable. Rooms are equ ipped with desks of modern
design, dressers, and beds with inner-spring mattresses. All rooms are provided with
chairs, rug·s, draperies, bookcases, and study lamps. Each room has a commodious
closet. (Trunks are stored in the baggage room in the basement.) Bed linens,
blankets, and towels are included in the furnishings, and daily maid service is given.
The cost of room and board in Abbott Hall is reasonable, and is below the
rates charged for other desirable accommodations in the same part of the city. The
location of rooms is indicated by the following floor plan:
The attractive residents' Dining Hall on the second floor serves excellent food
and is operated on a daily cash basis. A large selection of foods is offered at mod erate prices, three meals per day averaging from $ 2.00 to $2.50.
The . average room rate for the academic year is $290.00 for each occupant. Befor a room is occupied, a contract for the academic year is signed by the applicant.
The Division of Student Finance issues and makes all adjustments on the resi dence bills for Abbott Hall. Rental bills are issued for equal payments on October
l, January 1, and April 1, during the academic year. Bills are due upon presentation and are payable at the Cashier's Office in Abbott Hall.
Applications, together with $25.00 room deposit, should be filed as early as
possible. For room applications, address the Manager, Abbott Hall, 710 North
Lake Shore Drive, Ch icago 11.
UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE
The University Bookstore is owned and operated by the University for the convenience of the students in all schools on the Chicago Campus. It is located on the
first floor in Abbott Hall. The student may obtain all necessary textbooks and
supplies there. He will also find that the various departments have articles which
are carefully selected to meet the student's every need.
MIMEOGRAPH SERVICE
In many courses it is necessary to supply mimeographed materials. At the beginning of each term a charge is made against each student for the mimeographed
materials required in his courses on the basis of the cost of the supplies and labor
34
�required in their preparation. No charge is made for the time of the instructor and
his secretarial assistants spent in research, editing, and cutting the stencils for the
materials. The mimeograph service is under the management of Mr. Shyam Majhi.
EMPLOYMENT
The University Placement Bureau is available to students who wish to obtain
part-time employment. Application should be made to University Placement Bureau, Wieboldt Hall, 337 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago 11, Illinois.

�"Where there is arbitrary power, there
is no occasion to study the law; when
the law begins to reign, its teachers
and practicers come forth ..."
-David Dudley Field, at the
dedication of the Law School,
September 21, 1859.
LAW
STUDY
AT
NORTHWESTERN
For more than a century the School of Law has been dedicated to
the education of men for all branches of endeavor in the law under
the highest standards of academic and professional excellence. This
dedication marks the character of the Law School today.
Professional training of the highest order and the development of
each student's unique capabilities are fostered by a close working relationship between student and teacher. Early in its history the Law
School adopted a policy of limited enrollment to promote educational
quality. Today Northwestern remains a law school of medium size,
small in comparison with others of national standing. The result is
that each student is the beneficiary of a significant share of the resources of the School. Instruction is conducted by faculty members who
devote their full energies to legal education.
The first law school in its state and region and among the oldest in
the nation, Northwestern enjoys a rich heritage.
The School's program of instruction is designed to prepare students
for the broad challenge of the future. Long identified with progressive
movements in legal education, the Law School has always sought in its
program of instruction to foster an understanding of the formative principles that guide growth and change in the law, to educate lawyers not
for the demands of the practice of the past or even of the present, but
for the years ahead in which today's students will live out their professional lives. The most recent, and perhaps the most significant, reshaping of the School's curriculum was approved by the Faculty in the
spring of 1966 and is now fully in effect.

�". . . these noble buildings, designed for
one of the noblest uses to which any
building can be put-the teaching of law."
-Sir William Searle Holdsworth,
at the dedication of the
Law School buildings, June 16, 1927.
THE
SCHOOL
Unlike the physical sciences, legal learning requires no elaborate
apparatus. For the serious student, however, a stimulating and congenial environment contributes to the educational process. Professional
training of the highest order requires more than a comprehensive library and classrooms designed for effective teaching. There must be
places for reflection and concentration. There must be arrangements
conducive to informal interchange of thought and opinion between
student and student and between student and teacher. The atmosphere
should imbue the student of law with an appreciation for the ancient
traditions of the bar and for the professional heritage he will share.
LOCATION
The Law School is situated on the shore of Lake Michigan near the
center of Chicago. To the south, along the lake front, lie Grant Park,
a series of yacht basins, recreational facilities, museums of art and
natural history, a planetarium, and an aquarium . To the north extends
the Gold Coast, an area of residential apartments separated from the
lake by a con tinuous series of parks, beaches, golf courses, and boating
facilities. Nearby, to the west, is one of the city's centers of art and
entertainment. A half-mile to the southwest is the Chicago Loop, the
central business and shopping area, and the legal and financial center of
the region. Here, convenient for student visits, are located the offices of
federal, state, and municipal government, including trial and appellate
courts of both the state and federal governments, ranging from the local
small claims courts to the United States Court of Appeals.
10
�The Law School buildings form a quadrangle in a park-like
setting on the shores of Lake Michigan-yet scarcely more than
a half mile from the Loop .
The Law School constitutes part of the self-contained professional
campus of Northwestern University. Surrounding the Law School are
the separate buildings of the Graduate School of Business Administration and the Medical and Dental Schools. Also on the campus are
Thorne Hall, an auditorium available for major convocations and ceremonies, and Abbott Hall, the eighteen-floor student residence for the
men and women enrolled in these graduate schools.
Living and studying on a self-sufficient graduate campus, the law
student remains free from · the distractions of undergraduate life. The
original campus of the University, twelve miles north in suburban
Evanston, where the main body of undergraduate students and about
1,900 graduate students are enrolled, remains readily accessible to Law
School students for cultural and athletic events and for seminars and
informal contacts with those working in other academic disciplines related to the concerns of the lawyer and legal scholar.
LAW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The Law School itself consists of a complex of buildings arranged to
form a quadrangle occupying the block between Chicago Avenue and
11
�Superior Street. The original buildings, Levy Mayer Hall and the
Elbert H. Gary Library, were completed in 1926. Robert R. McCormick
Hall and the Owen L. Coon Library were completed in 1960. The
quadrangle completely encloses a quiet garden.
In interior design and ornament the buildings of the School are rich
in the lore of the law. About 2,500 portraits, engravings, etchings, and
photographs, collected by the late Dean John H. Wigmore in the United
States, England, and on the Continent are hung about the School to
illustrate the men and events of the law throughout history and throughout the world. Both libraries and Robert R. McCormick Hall are aircondi tioned.
CLASSROOMS
The Law School contains seven major classrooms. These generous
facilities make it possible to schedule a number of classes at the same
time, reducing the number of students in each class meeting. Most
classes, including all those in the first year, are divided into sections.
As a consequence, the number of students attending a class seldom exceeds eighty-five and is often much smaller. Such classes, small by
general law school standards, encourage responsible participation by
each student in the probing, analytical discussion that is the mark of
legal education at Northwestern. Lincoln Hall, the largest of the classrooms, was modeled after the British House of Commons in dimensions
and seating arrangement. The entire School, student body, and faculty
can be accommodated in it with room to spare for guests.
In addition to the major classrooms, the School has four seminar

rooms scaled and furnished to provide comfortable and congenial surroundings for smaller study groups. Here meet the seminars of the
second and third years, numbering typically from ten to twenty, seated
informally around a table with one or more faculty members for a
detailed analysis of problem areas lying at the frontiers of legal development. In such study, the student necessarily bears a large measure
of responsibility for giving direction and substance to the discussion.
For practice and instruction in the arts of advocacy, the School has
a fully equipped modern courtroom. Complete with witness stand, jury
box, counsel tables, and seating for spectators, it accommodates not only
mock appeals but full-scale practice trials.
LIBRARY
The indispensable instruments of the lawyer's calling are books, and
a comprehensive and well-arranged library is essential to effective training for the profession. The library with its associated research facilities
is the heart of the Law School.
The Northwestern Law School library consists of two buildings, integrated physically and administered as a unit, the Elbert H. Gary Library
and the Owen L. Coon Library. In combination, the library occupies a
13
�full side of the Law School quadrangle extending from Chicago Avenue
to Superior Street and includes four floors of working area. The Elbert
H . Gary Library, part of the original Law School buildings, is named
for the donor of the building who also established the Gary Fund, which
provided for the acquisition of substantial parts of the original collection
and also provides in part for the current purchase of books. The Owen
L. Coon Library, built in 1960, is named in recognition of a substantial
gift from the Owen L. Coon Foundation. In 1966 a new endowment
fund from the estate of Norris E. Crull (class of 1909) was made available to the library to establish the Norris E. Crull Collection. The constantly growing collection of over 250,000 volumes is among the largest
law school libraries in the Western World.
More important than size, however, is the utility of the collection.
The main reading room of the library occupies the highest floor of the
building and is divided by shelved partitions into dozens of secluded
but well-lighted alcoves fitted with large working tables and chairs to
provide convenient accommodations close by the books. The arrangement is repeated on the lower floors, with the addition of a number of
individual carrels for sustained and concentrated research. Included on
a lower level are glass-walled typing areas with individual sound-proof
carrels open to any student who may wish to type a research paper or to
reorganize his course notes.
The library is operated with an open-stack policy to bring readers

�and books together without unnecessary formalities. The student is free
to browse and to search at will through the collection, and he may call
upon either the expert full-time staff of sixteen or the eighteen assistants
if he is in need of guidance, aid, or suggestions. The library is open
daily throughout the year and in the evenings as well whenever the
School is in session. To provide for the heavy demands of faculty research, a separate working collection is maintained in the Faculty Library.
The course of instruction has been designed not only to provide
basic instruction in the use of legal materials but to encourage full use
of the library's large resources and to afford every student extensive
opportunity for independent scholarly research.
The library's collection includes substantially all the reported decisions of the courts of the United States, its separate states and territories,
Great Britain and the Commonwealth, together with their statutes and
session laws and subsidiary publications-digests, encyclopedias, annotated cases, textbooks, periodicals, bibliographies-necessary to form a
complete working collection for every legal system in the English language. A well selected comprehensive collection of United States government documents is maintained for the teaching program and for the
use of the legal profession generally. A complete collection of documents is available at Deering Library on the Evanston campus, which
is a designated depository library. This Anglo-American collection is
supplemented by a selection of works in the fields of history, economics,
government, and the other social and behavioral sciences. The library
also receives every current legal periodical of general interest printed in
the English language.
More than one-third of the total collection is made up of works in the
fields of foreign and international law. The comprehensive materials in
foreign law include the codes, treatises, decisions, and journals of all
major European countries and Japan, and good working collections in
Latin-American law. At an early date the library began to build a complete collection in the law of nations, going beyond the domestic laws
of the separate countries to emphasize the rules of law controlling their
relations with each other. This large collection includes the documents
of the international organizations, the international courts, treaty series
and official diplomatic documents, treatises and monographs and periodicals from all parts of the world. The whole permits original and useful
work to be carried on in the field of public international law.
Holdings in other specialized fields include a comprehensive collection of treatises, periodicals, and documents in criminal law and its
administration, and a special collection of materials in aeronautics, including aviation law, commerce, and other works in the field exclusive
of technical engineering publications. In addition, the library includes
15
�outstanding collections of medieval law, jurisprudence, legal history,
comparative law, and valuable resources in Roman law. Especially notable is the ·w illiams Collection of Legal Instruments dating from A.D.
1300 to 1700 which comprises more than five hundred original manuscript instruments executed in connection with landed estates. With
special funds, provided by Mr. Barnet Hodes (class of 1921), the Barnet
Hodes Collection on Local Government ·was established. Mr. Paul Cutler
(class of 1931) provided funds for special collections of books for the
Paul Cutler Browsing Alcove, in fields such as biography, history, political science, and literature.
The Law School library is independent in administration and organization, but its comprehensive resources are supplemented in specialized
areas through inter-library loans and other cooperative arrangements
with the general University library, departmental libraries, and the
major public, educational, and legal collections in the region.
A special feature of the library is its distinguished rare book collection, housed in the handsome Hardy Scholars Treasure Room adjoining
the main reading room. These early volumes, numbering some 2,500,
have been acquired through the years and represent a variety of fields.
Many are first editions of the classics of the law, including a number of
manuscripts and incunabula (books printed before 1500). A number
are either unique or the only copies in the Western Hemisphere. The
value of these books is not primarily antiquarian, however. They have
been gathered and selected because they are indispensable for effective
legal research in areas that may be vital both to scholars and practitioners.
Although the reserve facilities of the library have been constructed
with foresight to accommodate an eventual collection twice the size of
the current holdings, provision has also been made for the use of the
materials of legal research of the future. A section of the library is fully
fitted with the basic equipment for the use of microfilm and microcards,
designed to replace conventional books and to ameliorate their problems
of bulk and deterioration.
As the practitioner of a learned profession, the lawyer is more than
a craftsman. To encourage a wide-ranging interest among the students,
a section of the main reading room has been set aside for casual reading
in fields of current or gen eral significance. Comfortably furnished, the
browsing area offers current periodicals as well as a broad selection of
biographical and miscellaneous works.
OTHER SCHOOL FACILITIES
Although hours in the classroom and the library predominate both
for students and for faculty, there must be provision for the informal

give-and-take discussion in which the student lawyer hones his skill in
analysis and expression-and for moments of relaxation, however brief.
Lowden Hall, named for the first of the School's alumni to serve as governor of Illinois, is the principal School lounge and is rich with reminders of the history of law and the Law School. On the lower level
are lockers, food and beverage dispensers, and two rooms equipped with
tables for a coffee break or light luncheon.
A unique feature of the Law School is the study area provided on the
fourth floor of Levy Mayer Hall. Here are eight rooms accommodating
four to ten each, ideally suited to individual study or informal discussion and review sessions.
Separate offices are furnished for the various co-curricular activities
conducted under student auspices and control, including the officers of
the Junior Bar Association and the staff of the Law R eview, the Julius
H. Miner Moot Court Competition, and the Student Book Exchange.
Candidates for the S.J.D. degree are also eligible for private offices.
Faculty offices, which open directly onto main corridors for access
without formalities or intermediaries, foster frequent and fruitful informal meeting between student and teacher.
17
�STUDENT RESIDENCE
Living and working together, law students gain advantages that are
significant if not readily apparent. Casual conversation as well as earnest
discussion contributes to the development of the prospective lawyer's
powers and personality. The stimulation and discipline students give
one another have an impact that is directly evident in the classroom.
The ancient ancestors of modern law schools, the English Inns of
Court, depended solely upon the influences of students' living, eating,
and arguing informally together to produce men of professional qualification. For the student who resides in Abbott Hall, the Law School becomes the center of everyday life. The library and the classrooms are
accessible, the distractions of commuting are avoided, and the student
naturally and effortlessly concentrates his time and attention on preparing for the practice of law.
For these reasons, all law students except married students and those
whose homes are within easy commuting distance of the School are encouraged to live in Abbott Hall. It is designed to provide convenient
and attractive living quarters and to provide an atmosphere in which
may be developed all those qualities of personality which are so essential
to a lawyer, but which for the most part fall outside the sphere of
formal training. All law students residing in Abbott Hall belong to the
Law Residence Association. The purpose of this organization is to bring
together the law students living in Abbott Hall, to provide social activities, and to improve the living conditions generally for those students.
The building, eighteen stories high, overlooks Lake Michigan on
Lake Shore Drive from Huron to Superior Street. It is constructed of
Indiana limestone and conforms in architectural style to the classroom
buildings on the campus. The first two floors and the basement are
given over to common rooms for social and recreational purposes, the
upper sixteen to private accommodations. The first floor contains general offices and a series of shops. On the second floor is a large student
lounge, a fountain-grill, and two large dining rooms which offer cafeteria service. In addition there is a lounge and common living room on
each of the upper floors. Athletic facilities for bowling, squash, and
ping-pong are available in the basement.
Floors are reserved for the students of the School of Law. There is
also space reserved for women law students. Double study-bedrooms are
available. Rooms are equipped with desks of modern design, dressers,
and beds with inner-spring mattresses. All rooms are provided with
chairs, draperies, and lamps. Each room has a double closet. (Trunks
are stored in the baggage room in the basement.) Bed linens and
18
�blankets are included in the furnishings, and five and one-half day maid

The cost of room and board in Abbott Hall is reasonable and is

THE
COURSE
OF
INSTRUCTION
The purpose of the Law School is to prepare its graclua tes for effective service in all fields of law-to qu alify men and women not only for
the private practice of the profession but for careers in government
service, in the fie lds of commerce and finance, a nd in legal education as
well. The curriculum does not concentrate upon imparting knowledge
of the legal rules applicable in an y one jurisdiction or region. R ath er,
it concentrates upon the development of the fundamental capacities and
skills of the lawyer.
Human activity is infinitely varied and ever changing. Law, bringing
orde r and direction to the relations of men, involves a continuous process of growth and adjustment. Every legal problem and each case that
comes to the lawyer is, in a sense, uniqu e. Effective professional edu cation must therefore prepare the student to deal with situ ation s n ever
before encountered, to direct the resources of the law to new fields of
human endeavor, and to handle not the problems of the past but the
cases of the future.
Reflecting this objective, the program of instruction in the Law
School differs markedly from the usual undergraduate instruction. Jt
requires, of course, diligence and effort for a ma stery of the formal materials of the course. Beyond this fo undation the instruction d emands
thought and initia tive of the individual student to extend his learning
21
�appraisal of the student's qualifications for law study and monetary
needs. For students of exceptional ability who h ave adequate resources
for law study, a limited number of honorary scholarships are awarded
annually in recognition of pre-legal achievement. These special scholarships, described below, carry only a nominal financial award, so that
available funds may be devoted to the assistance of students who otherwise would be unable to study law.
MAKING APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE
Application forms for financial assistance m ay be obtained by writing
to the Office of Admissions of the Law School. Special application forms
are required for the Clarion DeWitt Hardy Scholarships, described below.
An application for financial assistance need not accompany the application for admission, but should be submitted as early as possible and in
any event not later than March 1 of the year of proposed entrance. Information on when to apply for admission appears on page 72.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS
In addition to substantial sums provided by the University and to
the generous annual gifts of Law alumni for scholarship purposes in the
Law School the following special scholarships and awards are available:
Clarion DeWitt Hardy Scholarships in Law. Scholarships providing
for tuition and for an additional amount up to $1,000 for expenses, depending upon the needs of the student, are available for several students
in each entering class. The amount is sufficient with average summer
earnings to enable the student to meet all typical costs of an academic
year. The scholarships are renewed each year for scholars who maintain
a good record and m ee t the other standards of the program. The scholarships are in honor of the late Professor Clarion DeWitt Hardy of the
School of Speech and were established by Owen L. Coon, an alumnus
who died in 1948, in memory of the m an "who contributed most" to his
education. The purpose of the scholarships is to assist able students
whose desire to enter the legal profession includes the objective of devoting a part of their lives to public service. Requirements, in addition
to expressed interest in public service, are high scholastic attainment,
forensic and writing ability, and leadership qualities. Funds are provided by the Owen L. Coon Foundation, and the Hardy Scholarship
Committee of the faculty administers the program.
Russell Sage Foundation Scholarships. Several scholarships of $2,700
are available under a 1963 grant to the Law School and the Graduate
School of the University by the Russell Sage Foundation. The general
79

sponsibilities of the legal profession, not just for the day, but for the half
century of lawyer's work that lies ahead. So it is that Labor Relations,
Taxation, Administrative Law, Civil Rights, and Trade Relations were
introduced into the basic program of the Law School during the formative years of those subjects, anticipating the current recognition of their
significance. Courses and seminars in International Law, Scientific Evidence, Comparative Law, and International Business Transactions are
typical of other offerings designed to meet the needs of the profession in
the years to come.
FACULTY
The basic instruction in the Law School program is conducted by the
full-time resident faculty, who take teaching as their first responsibility.
Each member is experienced in private practice, in responsible government posts, or both. Many are called upon for consultation and advice
by government agencies and private groups and are active in the organizations and affairs of the legal profession and the community. Their
scholarly activities include the delivery of lectures and addresses before
legal and public bodies as well as the preparation of learned treatises
and articles. Such activities serve to complement and to enrich the instruction. The casebooks and other teaching materials for a majority of
the courses offered in the School were prepared by the faculty members
who teach those courses, and many are widely used, standard works in
their respective fields.
23
�A student makes a point in the Socratic dialogue
which characterizes classroom work.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
In recognition of the lawyer's function of articulating the conflicting
interests of society, instruction in modern law schools is conducted principally through participation by the class. No longer does the student
lawyer listen passively in a lecture audience. To maximize the opportunity for active participation afforded each student, Northwestern Law
School has adopted a curricular policy emphasizing instruction through
relatively small classes and seminars. First-year courses enrolling 17 5
students or more have no place in the Law School program. The entering student will find himself attending classes with a group of approximately half that size. Seminars are limited in enrollment and commonly
range in size from ten to twenty students. Advanced individual work
is conducted under the personal supervision of one or more members
of the faculty.
Instruction of this kind requires a low student-faculty ratio. The
program of the School is based upon the conviction that this concentration of educational resources upon the individual student is the most
effective way to develop the skills that distinguish the legal profession.
THE CASE METHOD
The case method of teaching, employed principally in the formal
courses, particularly those offered in the first year, is founded upon the
premise that the first objective of law training is to develop an understanding on the part of the student of how and why the courts decide
cases as they do. The method was adopted at the Law School in the
earliest years of its evolution. The materials of study are the actual de24
�cisions of courts, embodied in written opm10ns rendered in real and
disputed cases, rather than a textbook compendium of legal rules. The
cases themselves are the specimens of legal controversy to be examined
and dissected. The student is brought to the level of a participant in
the proceeding, analyzing each stage in the course of litigation and each
step in the process of decision. Through painstaking scrutiny of a large
number of cases, the student shares vicariously the experience of the
lawyers and judges who conducted them, and thereby gains an understanding of the judicial process based on observation of the law in action
at first hand.
Although the case method varies in its use with the approach of the
professor, the teaching styles grouped under this heading have certain
characteristic elements in common.
Under the case system it is essential that students prepare thoroughly and intensively before class. The course materials for this preparation
consist of a casebook, a collection of actual decisions in related kinds of
controversy. The student at Northwestern will find that the authors of
many of his casebooks are his own professors, authorities in their respective fields. The class session in a case-taught course typically does not
offer a lecture but rather a discussion of several of these cases, conducted
in the manner of a Socratic dialogue between the teacher and students.
Questions are designed to test the student's understanding of the case,
to identify the considerations that controlled the decision, and to probe
its implications for similar situations and its relation to other decisions.
The discussion is conducted in an atmosphere of unrelenting questioning of each idea presented, by both fellow students and instructor.
Through the guidance of provocative questions, the students develop a
healthy skepticism, a capacity for independent critical judgment, and a
tough-minded approach to legal materials.
Although the professor may upon occasion depart from the interrogating role to explain the background of a legal problem or to give
direction to the class discussion, the essence of the case method is the
collective probing and searching, the crucible of give and take in which
the student's own powers of reason and analysis are tempered and developed. The system is in fact designed to cast back to the student, after
he has digested and evaluated the wide range of ideas developed in
group discussion, the task of developing for himself an understanding,
first, of what courts and administrative agencies do and why they do it
and, second, of how to participate effectively in the process. From the
outset of his law school career the student is thus led to do what he has
to do throughout his professional life-think, analyze, and decide on his
own initiative.
With the interplay of ideas and clash of opinion, class sessions are
25
�seldom dull. Since the significant formulation in the progress of the discussion may well come from a fellow student and since any student may
be drawn into the discussion at any time, alertness and concentrated
attention are required of all.
Most college students, accustomed to student-teacher dialogue only
in quite small groups, find it difficult to imagine vigorous discussion in
a class of eighty or ninety students. Although they may not fully understand why such discussion is possible until they themselves become regular participants in the process, they are welcomed and encouraged to
arrange with the Admissions Office to visit one or two classes at the Law
School to see the process in action.
THE PROBLEM METHOD
The problem method, an instructional technique origina ted at the
Law School and now widely employed throughout legal education, is
used in many second- and third-year courses. Here the emphasis is not
upon the cases or administrative decisions as such. The focus of the
student's work and of the class session is rather a set of facts raising
legal problems for which there may indeed be no authoritative solution.
The student's task is to take the available materials in the forms of decisions, statutes, and administrative rulings and to construct or create
his own solution to the problem.
Perhaps the problem is set at the stage where the businessman asks
for advice on a proposed transaction. Perhaps the transaction has already
taken place and the problem concerns the consequences to be attached
to the transaction by the federal or state government by way of taxation
or regulation. In short, the problems are much like those which come to
the lawyer in actual practice, and in fact the problems are frequently
drawn from life. Consultative practice by some members of the faculty
and the generally close relationship between the School and the practicing profession combine to provide the student in a problem-method
course with an experience that closely approxima tes the practice of law.
Characteristically in a course taught by this method, the student submits before the class session a short memorandum solution to the problem, based on his analysis of relevant source material. In the class session he or one of his fellow students is invited to explain the legal issues
presented by the problem situation and the views he takes of those issues.
Discussion, often vigorous, follows.
PRACTICE COURSES
Practice courses preserve in the Law School the advantages which
accrued to the aspiring attorney in an earlier day when there were no
26
�law schools and a man trained himself for the bar by working in the
office of an established lawyer, observing the practice of law, and learning through trial and error the arts and skills of the profession. In the
practice courses, the student actually tries the skills of the practitioner.
Prominent among these is the course known as Legal Clinic. In 1910,
Northwestern introduced to legal education the idea of giving law students actual experience in practice by providing legal services for the
poor. Under this program law students during the last half of their
training serve in the clinic under the supervision of a faculty member.
The clinic handles all kinds of civil cases, and the student may consult
with clients, interview witnesses, prepare pleadings and other instruments, appear in court, and assist in the conduct of trials. The training
fills a function similar in many respects to that of the internship m
medical education.
During his first year the student is instructed in the techniques of
oral and written argument in the course in Moot Court. Practicing the
lawyer's skills, he is :required to prepare a written brief in compliance
with prevailing professional standards and to argue his case, opposed by
a fellow student under courtroom conditions before an appellate court
composed of prominent alumni and faculty members. This instruction
is continued on a voluntary basis in the second year in the Julius H.
Miner Moot Court Competition.
In the third year the student is offered a choice of practice courses in
the trial of a lawsuit from its beginning to end. The instruction provides the student with actual experience in examining witnesses, presenting evidence, arguing to a jury, and the like. The student thus learns by
doing, not merely by precept, what the trial lawyer must be able to do.
Most of the lawyer's practice is carried on in his office, not in the
courtroom. To prepare its graduates for the work of counseling, advising, and planning, the Law School offers a number of courses in which
the student is called upon to draw the legal instruments and documents
which the practicing attorney must be able to prepare.
SEMINARS
Seminars are offered in the second and third years in a variety of
fields. Here the student is free to select subjects of special interest to
him and to explore new areas of the law. In a group commonly numbering from ten to twenty, with the guidance of a senior faculty member,
the student engages in intensive individual work on some aspect of the
general subject embraced by the seminar. Many seminars cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries and include materials and participants
from such fields as economics, sociology, psychiatry, and political science.
27
�Often the seminar student writes a major paper and presents this
product of his own research for the critical consideration of the seminar
group. With the stimulus of special interest in the subject matter and
the spur of criticism from interested fellow students in prospect, significant legal research is clone in the seminars. Some of the papers are
printed in the professional journals published by the Law School, and
research clone in the seminar program has on occasion been favorably
noticed in the opinions of some of the nation 's highest courts.
SENIOR RESEARCH PROGRAM
The Senior Research Program in the third year is an innovation in
legal education introduced for the first time in 1966-67. Under this Program a student with faculty approval may elect to devote a significant
proportion of his third year (from 4 to 8 credit hours) to advanced research under the personal supervision of one or more members of the
faculty. A student interested in this Program may propose during his
second year a project for faculty approval and arrange his schedule to
include the Law School courses and seminars which provide the necessary
background for the proposed work. In the third year the student meets
at least weekly with his faculty supervisor to discuss the progress of the
research. The final paper or report must be approved by a faculty committee.
The aim is not to make a "specialist" of the student, but rather to
afford him the intellectual experience of plumbing a subject to its depths;
of sharpening his power of analysis, observation and communication; and
of making a genuine contribution to research. Depending upon the
nature of the subject, projects may require research in the law library,
and may also draw upon other resources: other libraries in the University
and the community; other departments of the University, where course or
seminar offerings related to the field of inquiry may be taken; or the community itself, where field research may be undertaken. The Program is
flexible enough to permit, with careful advanced planning and approval,
even work in other parts of the nation or the world.
The faculty participants in the Program carry a classroom teaching
load which is lighter than normal in order that they may devote more
time to parallel research and to the joint discussion and critique necessary to take the inquiry beyond the bounds of traditional seminar work or
individual study projects. Indeed in many cases, work in the Program is
expected to grow into a joint, cooperative student-teacher research undertaking, more significant not only in substance but also in working relationship than anything heretofore possible in a law school setting.
The challenges and rewards promised by the Senior Research Program
are many. As a supplement to the longer established group learning tech28
�niques, the individual learning and teaching offered by the Program
promise significant further enrichment for students willing and able to
meet its demands for initiative, self-discipline, and hard work. The Program is expected to serve, too, the School's established goal of making
regular contributions on the frontiers of the law.
Most significant of all, perhaps, are the opportunities for student and
teacher to work together in concrete ways toward the common end of
advancing the highest traditions of the law as a learned profession and
as a servant of society.
THE THREE-YEAR CURRICULUM
In the last century Northwestern, setting the norm in legal education, was among the first of the nation's law schools to require three
years of study for a degree in law. Beginning students enter the Law
School in September and attend the two semesters of the regular academic year for three years. By attending optional summer sessions, however, students may earn their degrees in twenty-eight months.
The most recent revision of the School's curriculum, comprising the
elective second year and the Senior Research Program, was approved by
the Faculty in the spring of 1966, and now is fully in effect. During his
first year of law study the student follows a prescribed course designed
to provide an understanding of basic legal principies and concepts and
to give a solid grounding in the fundamentals indispensable for all
branches of the profession. Here the student encounters the grand
divisions of private law-Property, Tort, and Contract-as well as Constitutional Law and Criminal Law. The course in Legal Writing and
Research and the Laboratory Seminar in Procedure meet typically in
small groups (ten to fifteen students) in which the lawyer's basic tools
and the first year student's individual problems in dealing with them are
brought under careful scrutiny.
Each entering student is assigned a senior faculty member as adviser.
This advisory relationship is available in the first year to ease the adjustment to the demands of law study. Thereafter the adviser becomes
guide and mentor as the student plans the work of his last two years.
The wide range of electives offered by the Law School in the second
and third years permits a modest degree of concentration by the student
wishing it. Moreover, seminars often provide opportunities for further
exploration of a field in a new context. Thus, for instance, criminal
procedure may be treated in a paper written for the Civil Liberties
seminar or commercial law may be studied in the Legal History or
Comparative Law seminars. But perhaps most significant is the opportunity offered to sample a wide variety of problems in the law and
29
�to foster new interests thus discovered. The School's policy of offering
most courses in two sections meeting at different times and often in
different semesters practically insures that, with advance planning, the
student can include in his schedule virtually any combination of elective
courses he wishes in his last two years.
REQUIRED COURSES
In order to be recommended for the degree of Juris Doctor, a student
must complete successfully 90 semester-hours of work including the following:
All courses in the first year curriculum
Four hours of seminar work requiring substantial individual research
and writing.
The courses in
Legal Profession
Legal Clinic (not required of members of the Law Review or the
Journal of Criminal Law)
International Law
Although the Faculty may change the requirements for graduation
at any time, this responsibility is not exercised so as to place an undue
burden upon an enrolled student who has planned his program on the
basis of previously announced requirements.
In addition to these course requirements, instructors may establish
one or more prerequisites for enrollment in particular courses and seminars in the second and third years. Courses listed as concurrent requisites
may be taken previously or concurrently.
COURSE LOAD
Courses totaling 16 credit-hours in any term, in the opinion of the
Faculty, represent the maximum amount of work which a good student
can do effectively under favorable conditions. On the other hand, each
student is expected to register for not less than 14 credit-hours of work
each term.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT
The seminars and the courses in Trial Practice and Introduction to
Litigation are limited in enrollm ent. The School cannot assure that all
students wishing to enroll in a p articular seminar, Trial Practice, or
Introduction to Litigation can be accommodated.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Programs for the second and third year must have the written approval of the student's assigned faculty adviser. In their second year students may register for no more than one seminar in any semester. Third
year students may register in any semester for no more than two seminars
requiring the writing of substantial papers.
Since the Trial Practice and Introduction to Litigation courses are
substantially similar, no student may take more than one such offering.
Regular attendance is required in all courses. No student should
enroll in any course without the intention and capability of satisfying
this requirement. Failure to attend regularly may cause reduction in
grades, loss of credit for courses, additional remedial work, denial of
residence credit, or other appropriate sanctions in the discretion of the
instructor or the Dean.
EXAMINATIONS AND GRADES
Regular examinations are given in all formal courses. In accordance
with the prevailing practice in legal education, a single final examination is usually given, without periodic or mid-term tests, to permit comprehensive treatment of the subject matter and to measure the student's
capacity to work with and master a substantial body of material. Although examinations provide the most important source for determining
the student's relative achievement, consideration may also be given to
45
�the written work done in connection with a course and to the preparation of assignments for recitation as reflected in classroom discussion. In
seminar courses, no examinations are ordinarily given. Grades are based
upon the products of individual research and participation in the seminar discussions.
Students who are eligible but who for good reason are unable to
take an examination may, with the permission of the Dean, take the
next regularly scheduled examination in the course, take the examination late, or in unusual cases be given a special examination.
The grading system is numerical. A grade of 85 or above represents
work of the highest distinction. Grades of 68 and above indicate various
degrees of satisfactory work. Credit is given for courses in which the
student receives a grade from 60 through 67, but such grades indicate
unsatisfactory work. No credit is given for a course in which a grade of
less than 60 is received.
A student who, at the end of any term after his first term in School,
has failed to maintain an average of 68 to that date is ineligible for
further registration in the School. A student who fails to attain an
average grade of 68 over his entire course is ineligible for a degree.
Grades received at other schools are not considered in determining the
average grade.
At the option of the instructor, grades in courses and seminars in
which no examination is given may be recorded simply as P (pass) or
F (failure).
HONORS AND PRIZES
In I 907 the Order of the Coif was founded at Northwestern, and it
has since become the recognized national honor society in legal education with chapters, numbering more than forty-five, established in most
of the leading law schools. The tradition of recognizing scholarly excellence thus begun in the School is reflected today in the long list of
awards and prizes given in recognition of superior accomplishment.
THE ORDER OF THE COIF, NORTHWESTERN CHAPTER
The Northwestern chapter of the Order of the Coif annually elects from
the senior class a number of persons, not exceeding 10 percent of the
class, who on the basis of scholarship and character are deemed worthy
of the honor. The work of the Law Review is so integrated ·w ith the
instruction program of the School that satisfactory participation in that
work is normally a requisite for election to the Order of the Coif.

Law is, like the Board of the Law Review, selected based upon scholastic
standing and competitive writing for publication in the Journal. Election

the Junior Bar Association to the member of the senior class who has
done most for the School toward preserving its traditions. Selection is
made by the graduating class, Board of Governors of the Junior Bar Association, Editorial Board of the Law R eview, and the Faculty.
THE LOWDEN-WIGMORE PRIZES
The income from a fund
established by the late Frank 0. Lowden, Class of 1887, is used annually
to provide prizes totaling approximately $400. In accordance with the
wishes of the donor, the prizes are awarded on the basis of competitions
designed to test the ability to marshal authorities, to present arguments
effectively in written form, and to speak lucidly and convincingly in
public.
BARNET AND SCOTT HODES PRIZE

established in 1962 by Barnet Hodes, Class of 1921, is used annually to
provide a prize of approximately $400, a certificate, and a key for the
student preparing the best paper dealing with some aspect of the law
of local government.
THE HYDE PRIZE
The income from a fund of $ 1,800, the gift of
Professor Charles Cheney H yde, is awarded not more often than once in

DEGREES
Degrees are conferred by the Trustees of the University upon students
who are recommended by the Faculty of the School of Law. Before a
student is recommended for a degree, he must have satisfied the faculty
as to his character, and he must have complied with the requirements
for the degree for which he is a candidate.
The first degree in law awarded by the University is the Juris Doctor (JD.). It is conferred upon students who have satisfactorily completed courses carrying 90 semester-hours of credit in the School of
Law, including the required courses described on page 30. The work
must be pursued during a residence period of three academic years or
the equivalent. The last year must be in residence at Northwestern
University School of Law, and in the case of students transferring from
another law school, a minimum of 30 semester-hours of credit must be
earned in this School.
When the Faculty believes that the candidate's record of scholarship
merits special recognition, the degree may be awarded cum laude, magna
cum laude, or summa cum laude.
Degrees conferred upon students who have already obtained their
first degrees in law are described in the information concerning Graduate Study on pages 57-58.

�SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS
In the total educational program of the Law School, the formal course work
within the curriculum is supplemented by a variety of additional offerings. Lectures by distinguished scholars, jurists, and statesmen from the United States
and abroad serve as cultural adj u ncts to the regular courses and emphasize the
broader public obligations of the profession. In r ecognition of the Law School's
role in the life of the profession, the community, and the nation, conferences
are held which bring together leaders of thought and action for discussion of
subj ects of major public importance. Through participation in these programs,
the student broadens his vision and develops the sense of public responsibil ity
which ch aracterizes the highest traditions of the bar.
Many of these curricular supplements are presented by the Law School as
an integral part of the general education al program upon an occasional basis
and without special spon sorship. Others are offered as part of established and
continuing programs within the School. The most notable of these continuing
programs are described below.

�THE CRIMIN AL LAW PROGRAM
The Law School's Criminal Law Program offers unusu al breadth and depth
not only for graduate students but also for candidates for the first degree in
law. With the assistance of three grants from the Ford Foundation, the Law
School's programs in th e field of criminal law have developed as follows:
In 1958, the Ford Foundation awarded $3 00,000 to the L aw School for the
es tablishm ent of a graduate program in criminal law. Graduate fellowships to
train practitioners and teachers in this area were awarded for the n ex t five years.
In 196 4, the Ford Foundation awarded $300,000
to the Law School to establish a Police Legal Advisor Program. This five year graduate program is
designed to train young lawyers as "house counsel" to metropolitan police departments and a number of fellowships have bee n awarded from 1964 through
1967. Graduates of this program now hold high ranking poli ce administrative
and training positions in various cities of the United States, and the police
legal advisor system was approved and recommended for every poli ce d epa rtme nt by the 1967 Report of th e President's Comm ission on Law Enforcement
a nd the Administration of Justice. This program also funds a number of conferences of police legal advisors, prosecutors, a nd police administrators throughout th e life of the grant. In 1966, a conference on "The Supreme Court a nd
the Police" was h eld at th e Law School.
In 1967, the Ford Foundation award ed .$600,000 to the Law School to establish a n expa nd ed gradu ate and undergrad uate program in criminal law. Th is
program will offer fellowships to young lawyers who plan careers as prosecutors
or defe ns e counsel in criminal cases. In addition , a number of summer cl erkships, supported by a fe llowship of $ 1,200, are avai lable to Northwestern law
stud ents, primarily juniors, to provid e experi e nce working in the areas of police,
prosecution, public a nd private defense, courts and corrections. These fellowsh ips are awarded in the spring of each year to students who plan to take
advanced courses and semi nars in criminal law during th eir senior year. This
n ewest grant will also fund a Distin guished Lecture series in the area of criminal a nd constitutional law a nd procedure.
More informatio n on graduate fellowships in Criminal Law appea rs on
pages 86 and 87.
THE PROGRAM OF INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES
The Ford Foundation awarded $200,000 to the Law School for the expansion
of its program in Intern a tion al Legal Studies in 1957. The School's early
interest in the field is manifested by its substantial and seasoned library collections in foreign and international law a nd by its long-standing requirement
that each student pursue some international studies. In furtherance of its program the School has offered seminars in International Busin ess Transactions,
International Organization, Comparative Law, Admiralty, and Civil Liberties
on a comparative basis and a course in Family Law with emphasis on comparative materials.
The funds of the grant are used for additional facu lty and for visiting
foreign professors, and they support graduate fellowships for foreign lawyers
55
�and students. Other portions of the funds are devoted to work-seminars and
conferences in the field of international law.
More information on graduate fellowships in International Legal Studies
appears on page 86.
THE PROGRAM IN LAW AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
The Russell Sage Foundation awarded approximately $2 10,000 in 1963 to
the Law School and the Graduate School of the University for a three-year
program of interdisciplinary study and research in law and the social sciences.
In 1966, the grant was ren ewed for an additional three years, in an amount of
over $250,000. One purpose of these grants is to stimulate awareness of lawyers
and law students of the contribution of the behaviorial sciences to the understanding and improvemen t of the legal order. The other principal goal of the
program is to foster among social scientists an understanding of the nature and
implications of the legal order for their own disciplines. To achieve these ends,
scholarships are awarded in both the Gradu ate School of the University and in
the School of Law (see page 79) . The Saga Scholars in the Law School ordinarily are expected to take for credit a group of seminars cutting across a number of disciplines. They may also exp ect to be involved in special r esearch
activity and in the editing of the Law and Society R eview, which has a student
board of editors and co ntributors.
"PHILOSOPHY FROM LAW" CONFERENCES
In accordance with the terms of a grant of $10,000 from Mr. Oscar van Leer,
an alumnus of the Law School, a series of conferences under the general title
of "Philosophy from Law" was inaugurated in September 1963.
Students discuss a question of Common Market law with Mr. Justice Andre Donner of the
Court of Justice of the European Communities following his Rosenthal Lecture.
�The objective of the grant was to bring together scholars of various disciplines, lawyers, and judges for the purposes of attempting to distill from the
discipline of the law some insights beyond the usual professional skills which
may contribute to man's understanding of himself and his society.
In accordance with this general objective the particular subject of the first
conference was "Compromise and Decision-Making in the Resolution of Controversies."
The second conference in the series was held in September 1965 on the
subj ect "Equal Justice in an Unequal World."
GRADUATE STUDY IN LAW
The graduate program of the Law School has several objectives. One
purpose is to offer to recent law graduates who have demonstrated
superior proficiency in the study of law, as well as to active practitioners,
an opportunity not only to broaden their legal knowledge but also to
study and engage in research in particular fields of interest. The School
also desires to make its facilities available to law teachers and prospective law teachers interested in advanced study and original research and
writing under faculty guidance. In addition, the program is intended to
provide outstanding graduates of foreign law schools with an opportunity to expand their knowledge of American legal processes and to
engage in comparative legal research.
DEGREES
Two graduate degrees are granted: the degree of Master of Laws
(LL.M.) and the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) .
Master of Laws (LL.M.). The degree of Master of Laws is conferred
upon students who have obtained a first degree in law from this University or another having equivalent requirements; in unusual cases, this
requirement may be waived by a vote of the Faculty. Also such students
must fulfill the following requirements :
I. The completion of one academic year of residence in this School,
during which time credit must be obtained for not less than 10 semesterhours in courses or seminars not previously counted toward the first
degree in law. During their year of residence, graduate students are required to maintain a superior scholarship record. Each graduate student's course program is individually planned in light of the student's
choice of a thesis topic. Also, students who have not previously taken
Jurisprudence and Comparative Law are required to enroll in these
seminars. To the extent necessary to establish a background for his
research, the Graduate Committee may in its discretion require a grad57
�uate student to take course and semmar work in addition to the mmimum prescribed above.
2. The completion of a thorough study of some approved legal topic
and the presentation of a paper embodying its results. The candidate's
thesis must be of such character as to be suitable for publication in the
Northwestern University Law Review or the Journal of Criminal Law,
Criminology and Police Science.
3. The passing of an examination to be prescribed by the Faculty.
Doctor of Juri dical Science (S .].D.). The degree of Doctor of Juridical Science is conferred upon students who have obtained the degree
of Juris Doctor from this or some other university or college having
equivalent requirements for that degree or who have obtained the degree
of Bachelor of Laws from another university or college whose requirements for that degree are equivalent to those prescribed by this School
for the degree of Juris Doctor and who have fulfilled the following
requirements:
1. The completion of one academic year of residence in this School.
The time required for the completion of a candidate's work, however,
normally runs far beyond the period of residence required.
A third yea r student leads the discussion in the semina r en Law
and th e Industrial Society
58
�2. The completion of a study to be approved by the Faculty or its
designated committee. This study shall be one involving original research
and must be completed in such manner, both as to subject matter and
literary form, as to be, in the opinion of the Faculty, a significant and
scholarly contribution to legal science.
3. The completion of such other work, if any, as may be directed by
the Dean in the particular case.
4. The passing of an examination to be prescribed by the Faculty.
It is the policy of the Faculty to restrict this degree to candidates who
have had substantial experience either in practicing or teaching law and
who, through their published writings, have evidenced their capacity for
advanced graduate work.
Candidates for this degree are afforded every facility for both library
and field research, and at some time during their residence they are given
the opportunity to instruct students along the line of their research. They
are given the rank of graduate fellow and are accorded many of the
privileges of members of the faculty.

THE
LIFE OF
THE
SCHOOL
A well-seasoned aphorism, familiar to law students everywhere, says
that a law student receives his education from his classmates. Like many
an old saw, the observation contains within its exaggeration a kernel of
truth. Law school instruction is built upon student participation. Beyond the classroom the student continues his professional preparation in
give-and-take discussion, corridor debate, and friendly argument with
his fellows. The vitality of the Law School is measured by the quality
and vigor of its student body.
At Northwestern the entering student finds himself a member of a
closely-knit community of men and women, bound together by a common
pursuit and by the rich traditions of the Law School's history. The student body is comparatively small, averaging approximately 475 students.
The modest size of the School and its instructional policies-division of
most courses into two or more sections and the wide range of electives
offered after the first year-promote wide acquaintance among students.
The beginner himself is carefully chosen through a policy of selective
admission designed to assure that every member of the class is capable
of legal study at the highest and most challenging level. His classmates
are high-ranking graduates of the leading colleges and universities in the
United States and abroad.

�Public figures, including a I um n i, are

participants in its programs.

Senator Charles H. Percy speaks to the

�Students benefit from friendly relationships with fellow students coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. The typical student body consists of men and women from thirty-five states and eight or ten foreign
countries. Approximately 125 colleges and universities are represented
by graduates enrolled in the Law School (see pp. 93-94) . A variety of
undergraduate majors are included, and many students have earned
graduate degrees in other fields before entering the Law School.
Law students as a whole tend to be individualistic and venturesome,
and a broad range of opinion and experience is encompassed in the
student body. The stimulating contacts of student life at the Law School
combine to develop a mature, tolerant, and broadened outlook in the
individual student. It is a happy tradition of the School that a healthy
spirit of competition, so helpful in encouraging each student to his best
effort, exists concurrent with the kind of comradeship and mutual respect so characteristic of the legal profession generally.
LEGAL PUBLICATIONS
THE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW
Foremost among the Law School's student activities is the publication
of the Northwestern University Law Review, one of the nation's leading
professional journals. The Review is circulated widely among lawyers
and judges and is often cited in briefs and judicial opinions. The tradition in the legal world of professional journals being accepted as authoritative within the profession, although written, edited, and published by
men who have not yet achieved professional status, is unique among
the professions. Work on the Law Review is at once the most demanding
and rewarding experience available to the law student.
A law journal entitled the Northwestern Law R eview was first established by students of the School during the academic year 1892-93, within
five years of the appearance of the first student journal in the nation.
Publication was continued in 1906, after a ten-year suspension, under the
title Illinois Law Review.
For a period beginning in 1924 editorship was shared with the law
schools of the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois. In
1932 Northwestern students resumed full control, and in 1952 the name
was changed to Northwestern University Law Review.
At the end of the first year, students of highest scholastic standing
are chosen to write commentary on legal problems for publication and
to carry on the research, editing, and related work of the Review. Selection is one of the highest honors and greatest responsibilities the Law
School can bestow. The work of the Law Review is so integrated with
the instructional program of the School that participation is normally a
requisite for election to the Order of the Coif. Because of their rich
64
�The libra ry, where student meets lawbook and the training
of a lawyer begins.
educational experience and resulting excellent qualification for any field
of the profession, Law R eview editors are sought and preferred after
graduation by leading law firms, government, and private business. The
fact that the student body is not large means that at Northwestern the
opportunities for Law R eview participation are somewhat broader than
in many other schools.
Although Law R eview students work hard, they take one day off each
spring to play a softball game with the faculty and to hold a dinner
where the principal sport is caricaturing the foibles of their professors.
THE JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL LAW,
CRIMINOLOGY AND POLICE SCIENCE
Another Law School publication that is available for the publishable
products of student scholarship is the Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science. This Journal with a world-wide circulation
is the foremost publication of its kind. It has been in continuous pub65
�lication since 1910. Professor Fred E. Inbau is its editor-in-chief and
managing director. The assistant editor-in-chief is Professor James R.
Thompson. They are assisted by a Board of Consulting Editors composed of some of the country's outstanding legal scholars and criminologists.
The section of the Journal devoted to Police Science is under the
editorship of Ordway Hilton, Examiner of Questioned Documents, New
York City. He is assisted by a Board of Consulting Editors in the fields
of police administration, criminalistics, and forensic sciences generally.
The studen t board of the Journal, like the editorial board of the
Law Review, is chosen from among the highest ranking students at the
end of the first year of Law School work and bears responsibility for
preparing and editing the case abstracts, notes, and comments appearing in the student section of the Journal . Although several law schools
have so-called "intramural" law reviews in addition to regular published
journals to broaden opportunities for student participation in work of
this kind, the availability of a second published periodical for student
work is rare, if not unique, especially in a moderate-size school.
JULIUS H. MINER MOOT COURT COMPETITION
To provide continuing practice and instruction in the arts of appellate advocacy, the first-year course in Moot Court is supplemented by the
Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition for advanced students in the
School. Made possible by an endowment memorializing Judge Julius H.
Miner, the program is conducted, under faculty supervision, by thirdyear students comprising the Moot Court Board and involves the preparation of appellate court briefs and the presentation of oral arguments
before panels of judges, practicing attorneys, and faculty members. The
cases typically raise issues of current legal importance, more complex and
challenging than those assigned in the regular first-year course. The final
argument is conducted before the entire student body, customarily with
distinguished judges from the federal bench. Those who have served
as presiding judges for final arguments include Associate Justices Arthur
J. Goldberg (an alumnus of the Law School), Byron R. White, Tom
C. Clark, and Potter Stewart of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The School team in the National Moot Court Competition is chosen
from among the Miner Competition finalists.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY:
THE JUNIOR BAR ASSOCIATION
Law students are only a few short steps removed from the practice of
law. The qualities of personal integrity and responsibility essential in
the profession are best fostered not by exhortation but by actual exercise
66
�and experience. In the belief that the most effective way to develop
maturity and responsibility among the students is to vest responsibility
in the students themselves, the Law School has conferred a large measure
of authority upon the students' professional organization, the Junior
Bar Association.
All students are members of the Association and through it work out
the problems of student government and School activities. Its declared
objects are to encourage and promote the highest standards of integrity
and industry to the end that its members may be properly equipped to
enter the profession of the law. The officers and Board of Governors of
the Association are elected by the students.
HONOR CODE
An important product of the Law School's philosophy of student
responsibility is the honor code and the broad authority granted to the
students, through the Junior Bar Association, with respect to its enforcement and implementation. The basic tenet of the Honor Code is that
the law student, like the lawyer, should be subject to unyielding standards
of honorable conduct. In reliance upon the students' collective sense of
responsibility, Law School examinations are unmonitored and unsupervised by faculty, staff, or proctors. The honor code imposes a strict obligation upon each student to report any apparent infractions to the students constituting the Board of Governors of the Association. After a full
hearing the Board has the duty to make findings and to recommend
appropriate disciplinary action to the Faculty.
The code covers not only the administration of examinations, but
also the submission of written papers and the conduct of a student generally in his law study and relations with the School. The student body
through its elected representatives in the Junior Bar Association further
has the authority to prescribe and enforce rules of conduct in and about
the Law School and to enforce the regulations governing the use of the
library. The intent is that habits of professional self-discipline should
be developed in the student, rather than imposed upon him by outward
authority.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The student body bears important responsibilities as well in the supplemental educational programs of the School. The Junior Bar Association traditionally sponsors a series of frequent lectures, bringing outstanding lawyers, judges, and political figures to the Law School to address
the students on subjects of general interest. Informal receptions are h eld
67
�frequently in Lowden Hall to afford the student opportunities for social
contact and casual conversation with members of the faculty and distinguished visitors to the School.
A wide variety of activities is carried on under student leadership
through the Junior Bar Association to serve the needs and interests of
fellow students. The Association takes a leading role in planning and
conducting the annual orientation program for new students, assists them
with registration, and arranges for a reception and small advisory meetings, all designed to welcome the beginner and to ease the educational
transition.
The Association operates an exchange for the purchase and sale of
used casebooks and course materials, supplementing the facilities of the
University Bookstore in Abbot Hall and helping students who must
economize.
In recognition of the Law School's place in the legal profession at
large, the Northwestern Junior Bar Association is affiliated with the
American Law Student Association, the national organization of students
in training for the law, sponsored by the American Bar Association.
In sum, the varied range of opportunities afforded to Law School
students for service to their fellows, to the School, and to the profession
provides valuable training in the exercise of those responsibilities that
distinguish the lawyer's calling as a profession.
RESEARCH ASSIST ANT SHIPS
Each year a number of second and third year students are sdected
to serve as Research Assistants to individual members of the Faculty.
These appointments carry a modest stipend but are valued primarily for
the opportunities they afford for close participation in the ongoing
scholarly work and publications of the Faculty.
VOLUNTARY LEGAL SERVICES
The School's Legal Clinic program, a part of the curriculum since
1910, has long provided opportunities for students to secure practical
experience while rendering a service to those unable to pay for legal
counsel. Recent developments in the law requiring expanded representation for indigent criminal defendants and the recent proliferation of
voluntary and governmental agencies providing legal services on the
civil side to members of disadvantaged groups have greatly increased the
number of opportunities open to students to give voluntary service from
which both satisfaction and valuable experience can be gained. The
School's location, in the heart of a major urban center, is a particularly
fortunate one for this purpose. A high proportion of the students in the
68
�second and third year take p art in one or more of these voluntary programs.
A voluntary program, instituted in cooperation with the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, affords an opportunity
for interested students to assist assigned practitioners in representing indigent defendants in criminal cases before the federal courts. A parallel
program under the same sponsorship provides experience in law offices
on civil matters.
The School's chapter of the Law Students' Civil Rights Research
Council provides research and other assistance to practitioners concerned
with civil rights questions.
A number of students serve as assistants to practitioners, themselves
volunteers, in rendering legal services through neighborhood houses and
other social agencies in various parts of the city.
RECREATION AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
The law student soon learns the truth of the old saying tha t " the law
is a jealous mistress. " He will not be able to indulge extensively in
amusements or spend much time in social events. Nevertheless, no man
or woman can accomplish a maximum of work without a reasonable
amount of recreation.
Organized social activities at the Law School are sponsored by the
Junior Bar Association and by the several legal fraternities. In addition
to the coffee hours, the Association holds a dance for all students once
each semester.
Chapters of three national legal fraternities- Phi Alpha Delta, Phi
Delta Phi, and Tau Epsilon Rho-and one legal sorority-Kappa Beta Pi
-have been established at the Law School. Members do not live or eat
together, and lines are not sharply drawn. The fraternities do, however,
arrange for a number of occasions which have professional as well as
recreational value. They hold luncheons during the course of the year
with addresses by nationally and locally prominent lawyers, judges, and
public officials. And they sponsor dances and informal parties. None of
these groups follows any discriminatory membership policy.
A program of intramural athletics involving the legal fraternities and
other groups on the campus offers participation in organized sports, and
nearby beaches, golf courses, and other facilities are available for individual recreation. Tickets are offered at reduced rates for the University's intercollegiate athletic programs on the undergraduate campus in
Evanston.
Many opportunities for entertainment and cultural pursuits afforded
in a city such as Chicago are close at hand.
69
�STUDENT WIVES
A useful auxiliary of the Junior Bar Association is the organization
of the wives of Law School students. A substantial number of the student body are married.
At the social gatherings of the Law Wives, the student's wife can visit
with faculty wives, discuss matters of common interest, and spend a
pleasant evening during her husband's long hours in the library. To help
her to understand the work that demands so much of her husband's time
and attention, the law wife may enjoy an informal talk by one of the
faculty members on the vicissitudes of law study or a legal problem of
general interest. Occasionally professors have conducted abbreviated
versions of their Law School courses for the student wives to give them
a first-hand view of the educational process in which their husbands are
so deeply involved.
At a Moot Court argument in the Getz Court Room student advocates confer in urgent whispers
on how to meet the point made to the court by their opponent.

ADMISSION,
TUITION,
FEES, AND
FINANCIAL AID
Every year the Law School draws many hundreds of applications
for admission from every state in the Union and from abroad. In recent
years there have been five or more applicants for each place in the entering class.
As a private institution Northwestern must rely principally upon
tuition income and gifts from alumni and others to meet the not inconsiderable expenses of maintaining the faculty, library, and other
faci lities of a law school of the first rank. Fortunately, a substantial
portion of the gifts made to the University and the Law School is available to provide financial assistance to students in need of it.
ADMISSION
Since its early years the Law School h as followed a policy of selective
admission to preserve its character as a cohesive academic community of
modest size and to assure continued educational standards of the highest
order. In consequence, the School is unable to accept many applicants
who are capable of successfully completing legal studies and qualifying
for the practice of law.
Applicants are selected for admission upon the basis of demonstrated
scholarship, intellectual capacity, and qualities of character requisite to
the profession. The School endeavors to admit only those applicants
71
�whose records indicate that they will successfully complete the course of
study.
MAKING APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
Application forms and information concerning admission requirements may be obtained by writing to the Office of Admissions, Northwestern University School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago,
Illinois 60611.
Students beginning the study of law enter the School at the opening of
the first semester in September.
Before enrollment the student must h ave obtained a Bachelor's degree
from an approved college or university.
The application form must be supplemented by a transcript from
each college or university attended. Except in unusual cases transcripts
should not be supplied until they include a record of three full academic
years. If the application is approved, the applicant is asked to supply
a final transcript certifying the award of a Bachelor's degree unless the
transcripts originally submitted contain that certification.
The application must also be supported by a report of the applicant's
score on the Law School Admission Test. This Law School joined with
several other schools is sponsoring the development of this test, which
is designed to measure the student's general aptitude for the study
of law. Information on how to arrange to take the test, administered
by the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, is supplied
with the admission forms. The test may be taken either before or after
the forms are filed, although an applicant for admission in September
should ordinarily plan to register for either the test given in the fall or
the test given in the winter of the preceding academic year. The Educational Testing Service should be requested to report the applicant's score
directly to the School of Law.
An applicant is also asked to submit recommendations on forms furnished b y the School from two college or university instructors. The
application fee is $15.00.
VISITS TO THE SCHOOL
An applicant need not appear for a personal interview unless requested by the Committee on Admissions. Prospective students are invited and encouraged, however, to visit the School. Ordinarily if the
School is in session, arrangements can be made for the visitor to attend
a regular class session. It is helpful, though not essential, for the visitor
to telephone or write in advance to the Secretary of Admissions for an
appointment.
During the normal college vacation periods, the number of pros72
�pective students wishing to visit the School is large. This fact and the
large volume of admissions mail and other business in these periods
make it almost impossible to give extended personal attention to visitors
at these times. The School holds an open house during the Christmas
holiday and all applicants are urged to visit the School on that occasion.
Each year a number of applicants seek personal interviews with the
aim of thus enhancing their chances of gaining admission. Although
the Admissions staff is always happy to answer questions to the best of
its ability, applicants should be aware that decisions are made by the
Committee on Admissions and that the only effective way to ensure full
Committee consideration of special circumstances is to append a written
statement of them to the application form.
The Secretary of Admissions is ordinarily available to speak with
visitors and can answer authoritatively or secure answers to questions
not answered by this bulletin or other printed material.
WHEN TO APPLY
The completed application form may be submitted at any time during
the twelve months preceding the expected date of entrance. Early application is advisable. It is not necessary to wait until the transcripts, test
score, and recommendations can be supplied before filing the application. Applicants wishing to apply for financial assistance should refer
to the information given on page 78.
Applications are considered and acted upon as soon as the supporting
information has been received. Determinations are made upon a balanced evaluation of the applicant's college record and the Law School
Admission Test score, supplemented by the required recommendations
and other information bearing on his capacity and qualification for law
study. Each applicant is considered carefully and individually. The trend
of undergraduate achievement, performance in particular fields and
courses, and the demands and influence of other activities and personal
circumstances are weighed and taken into account. Every doubtful application is thoroughly discussed and examined by a committee of faculty
members, which may seek further information from the applicant, his
college, or his professors.
Each applicant who is accepted for admission, whether or not he has
been awarded financial assistance, is required to make a deposit of $50.00
by April l of the year of entrance or within thirty days after notice of
acceptance, whichever is later. Upon registration the deposit is applied
toward the payment of tuition or fees.
No applicant previously enrolled in another law school is admitted
either as a beginning student or as a transfer student if he is ineligible
to continue study at that school.
73
�TRANSFER
The admission of students previously enrolled in other law schools
·who wish to become candidates for the degree of Juris Doctor depends
upon the applicant's achievements in law study as well as upon the factors
which control the admission of beginning students. Generally stated, the
·standard requires a highly creditable law school record.
Transfer applicants should submit the application form with the
$15.00 application fee, transcripts from each college and university
attended, including the law school from which transfer is contemplated,
:and two recommendations from former instructors, at least one a law
school instructor. A statement of law school class standing also should be
:submitted, and the Law School Admission Test score report must be
furnished.
The granting of credit for courses completed in other schools and the
:allowance of advanced standing rest within the discretion of the Dean of
the School. In no event is transfer credit given for law school work in
,schools which are not members of the Association of American Law
:Schools or for courses in which the student received a grade below C or
:its equivalent.
:SUMMER SESSION
A student enrolled in another law school may be admitted for the
Summer Session upon a certificate of good standing from the school in
which he is permanently enrolled. Information concerning the Summer
Session may be obtained by writing to the Registrar of the School after
January I of the year in question.
PRE-LEGAL STUDY
A Bachelor's degree in arts or science is required for admission to the
Law School, but no specific fields of major study or particular courses are
prescribed. The purpose of the requirement is to provide the prospective
lawyer with a sound liberal education for the discharge of his broader
professional responsibilities as well as to provide a foundation for law
school training. Since the reach of the law's concerns may be as wide as
the range of human behavior, no particular course of undergraduate
study confers a special advantage in the law.
College curricula vary, the content of courses bearing the same title
may be dissimilar, and teaching attitudes and emphases differ. Accordingly suggestions must be general. Courses in such fields as history, economics, anthropology, sociology, government, and political science may
help the student to understand the structure of society and the problems
of social ordering with which the law is concerned. Studies in philosophy
and literature may impart a familiarity with the traditions of thought
74
�that have influenced legal developments. The examination of human
behavior in courses in psychology and its analysis through statistical
method may also prove worthwhile.
In developing the capacities and skills of the lawyer, the college stu-dent should pursue studies that enhance his power to express himself with clarity and force. English, foreign language courses, and public
speaking can be recommended, but the capacities may be developed as
well in other courses in which written work of high quality is demanded.
For the systematic ordering of abstractions and ideas, the physical, natural, and mathematical sciences, in addition to logic, are suggested.
Apart from subject matter the student preparing for the study of law
should take courses of sufficient difficulty to try his capacities to the
utmost to assist in the development of the rigorous intellectual discipline
essential to success in law school. He would be well advised, in addition,
to pursue his studies far enough in some definite field to attain a mastery
of the subject. The typical student is more likely to extend himself
and thereby to increase his capacities for law study if he follows the
bent of his own interests and tastes.
It is perhaps advisable, however, for the prospective law student to
avoid undergraduate courses in law designed for men preparing for other
callings and duplicating law school work. Ordinarily the time and effort
are better spent in studies in other fields.
In general, the undergraduate college student is best advised not to try
to prepare particularly and narrowly for his law school studies, but to
prepare for his life as a lawyer by obtaining the best available general
education. He will find that what is best for law school is also the best
in liberal education-a course of study that develops in the student the
capacity to understand, to think for himself, and to express himself
effectively.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
The cost of a year of law study varies with the needs, habits, and circumstances of the student. As a base from which individual estimates may be
drawn, the sum of $2900 approximates the total expense for the academic year
of the average unmarried student residing in Abbott Hall, the Law School
dormitory. Of this total slightly more than $1600 is required for tuition , fees,
books, and supplies. The remainder represents the typical expenditure for
room, board, and personal needs.
TUITION
The student's total investment in his legal education , although large in absolute terms, is insubstantial in comparison with its total returns in the decades

PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
Tuition and fees ar e p aid by semesters, rather than by the fu ll academic
year. Payments are due in the first few weeks after the commencement of the
term upon the date specified in the statement sent to each student after registration. The Cashier's Office, conveniently located on th e first floor of Abbott
Hall, receives these p ayments.
The Division of Student Finance, on the first floor of Abbott Hall, issues
the statements and makes all adjustments.
WITHDRAWAL AND REFUNDS
Official withdrawal forms are available from the R egistrar of the School
of Law. Students who withdraw before the end of one-fourth of the term are
held for one-fourth of the tuition for the term. Students who withdraw after
the first one-fourth of the term and before the middle of th e term are h eld for
one-half of the tuition for the term. Students who withdraw after the middle
of the term are held for full tuition. Regardless of the time of withdrawal,
students are held for all fees. In the case of exclusion for nonpayment of
tu ition, the same charges are made in accordance with the above schedule. In
all cases either the date on which the student withdrew from classes and filed
a written withdrawal notice with the R egistrar of the Law School or the date
of forma l exclusion is us ed in figurin g an y adjustment on tuition.
REBATES TO FACULTY, STAFF, AND INSTRUCTORS
Undergraduate and graduate students in the following categories are eligible
to apply for certain tuition rebates of up to 50 p er cent : (a) full-time faculty
1 ln many courses it is necessary to supply mimeographed materials to supplement ass igned casebooks. This fl at charge covers the cost of supplies and labor to prepare such supplementary material. In a few courses mim eographed materials are p repared by the instructor to replace completely
an assigned casebook. In those instances where the volume of material is su bstantial an add itional
charge (less than the cost of the usual casebook) is m ade. In neither situation is there any charge
made for the time of the instructor and his secretarial assistants spent in research, ed iting, and
cutting the stencils for the mater ia]s.
77
�and staff members listed on the regular twelve-month payroll of the University;
(b) dependent sons and daughters of such persons; (c) full-time employees of
affiliated institutions; (d) graduate students appointed as instructors and teaching part-time at Northwestern.
Information concerning these rebates and application blanks are available
at the Student Finance Office, Abbott H all. Applications must be filed with
that office before registration each term.
Students should call for the rebate checks at the Division of Student Finance, Abbott Hall, one day before their tuition bills b ecome due. Rebate
checks are applicable on tuition charges only and cannot be accepted in paymen t of other fees.
STUDENT DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
The University maintains a student deposit account at the Cashier's Office,
Abbott Hall, as an accommodation to students. Students may write only counter
checks payable to themselves against their deposits. There is no charge for this
service, a nd no interest is paid on deposits.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
If a student has the ability and motivation necessary for the study of
law, the School is committed to providing all possible assistance so
that he can reach his educational goals. Through scholarships, loans, and
a limited amount of part-time work, many students are able to complete
their law studies at Northwestern with a minimum of initial savings or
outside financial aid.
Approximately one-third of the School's entering students receive
financial assistance in the form of scholarships or loans. The amounts
of the awards vary from a portion of tuition to full tuition plus a stipend
for subsistence. Ordinarily an award of financial assistance to a first-year
student is renewed for his second and third years of law study provided
he maintains a creditable class standing and his financial situation remains unchanged.
All or part of an award may be made subject to an obligation of
repayment after graduation. In these cases, repayment is ordinarily
made on an installment basis during the first few years following graduation. Interest does not accrue until the end of the first year after
graduation, and thereafter the rate is low.
Awards of financial assistance are made upon the basis of academic
promise and need. Each application is individually considered by a committee of faculty members and each award is determined by an individual
78
�appraisal of the student's qualifications for law study and monetary
needs. For students of exceptional ability who have adequate resources
for law study, a limited number of honorary scholarships are awarded
annually in recognition of pre-legal achievement. These special scholarships, described below, carry only a nominal financial award, so that
available funds may be devoted to the assistance of students who otherwise would be unable to study law.
MAKING APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE
Application forms for financial assistance may be obtained by writing
to the Office of Admissions of the Law School. Special application forms
are required for the Clarion Dev\Titt Hardy Scholarships, described below.
An application for financial assistance need not accompany the application for admission, but should be submitted as early as possible and in
any event not later than March 1 of the year of proposed entrance. Information on when to apply for admission appears on page 72.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS
In addition to substantial sums provided by the University and to
the generous annual gifts of Law alumni for scholarship purposes in the
Law School the following special scholarships and awards are available:
Clarion DeWitt Hardy Scholarships in Law. Scholarships providing
for tuition and for an additional amount up to $1,000 for expenses, depending upon the needs of the student, are available for several students
in each entering class. The amount is sufficient with average summer
earnings to enable the student to meet all typical costs of an academic
year. The scholarships are renewed each year for scholars who maintain
a good record and meet the other standards of the program. The scholarships are in honor of the late Professor Clarion DeWitt Hardy of the
School of Speech and were established by Owen L. Coon, an alumnus
who died in 1948, in memory of the man "who contributed most" to his
education. The purpose of the scholarships is to assist able students
whose desire to enter the legal profession includes the objective of devoting a part of their lives to public service. Requirements, in addition
to expressed interest in public service, are high scholastic attainment,
forensic and writing ability, and leadership qualities. Funds are provided by the Owen L. Coon Foundation, and the Hardy Scholarship
Committee of the faculty administers the program.
Russell Sage Foundation Scholarships. Several scholarships of $2,700
are available under a 1963 grant to the Law School and the Graduate
School of the University by the Russell Sage Foundation. The general
79
�purpose of the grant is to foster a fuller appreoat10n by law students
and lawyers of the role of the behavioral sciences withm the legal order.
Special training or interest in the behavioral sciences and general scholastic excellence are required of candidates.
Francis S. Kosm erl Scholarships. A trust under the will of the late
Francis S. Kosmerl provides an income for the purpose of assisting students throughout the period of their undergraduate and professional
training. Preference is given to applicants who have been named Kosmerl
Scholars in their undergraduate years and have maintained their scholastic standing.
L ewis Larned Coburn Memorial Fund. The sum of $50,000 was bequeathed to Northwestern University by Mrs. Anna Coburn in memory
of her husband, the income from the Fund to be given as scholarships to
students in the School of Law in such amounts as the President of the
University or the Dean of the School of Law may determine.
Jacob Newman Scholarship Fund. The income from a fund of $25,000
established by Mrs. Minnie G. Newman in memory of her husband,
Jacob Newman, is awarded annually to deserving students who, but for
such aid, would not be able to pursue law study.
Charles Weinfeld Scholarships. In 1954, Charles Weinfeld made a
gift of $20,000 to establish a fund, the income from which is applied to
aid annually one or more worthy students in the Law School who, but
for such aid, would be unable to obtain a legal education. In 1964, the
corpus of the fund was increased by a gift of $ 10,000 from The Charles
·weinfeld Memorial Foundation. Amounts granted, within the discretion
of the Dean of the Law School, are for the purpose of paying tuition
and other expenses.
Ware Scholarship. The income from a $10,000 gift by Mrs. Fannie
M. ·ware to establish a scholarship in memory of her son, Lieutenant
Manierre Barlow Ware, who was killed in action on October 12, 1918,

GRADUATE STUDY: ADMISSION AND
FELLOWSHIPS
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY AND TO CANDIDACY
FOR ADVAN CED DEGREES
The admission of students who have been awarded a first degree in
law to graduate study or to candidacy for the degree of Master of Laws or
Doctor of Juridical Science are matters which rest within the discretion of
the Committee on Gradu ate Admissions.
Although foreign graduate students whose native language is not
English are eligible for admission as graduate students, they normally
are not admitted as candidates for a degree until they have completed
one semester's work as graduate students and have demonstrated during
that time their capacity to complete successfully the degree requirements.
Experience indicates that foreign students whose native language is
not English have great difficulty in meeting the requirements unless they
have a good command of written and spoken English.
The School's graduate degrees are described fully on pages 57-58.
Application forms and additional information may be secured by writing
to th e Committee on Graduate Admissions, Northwestern University
School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
Full information concerning tuition and fees for graduate study
appears on pages 75-77 of the bulletin.
The expenses of an unmarried student for the academic year, includ85
�ing books, board and room, and incidentals (but excluding tuition and
fees) should approximate $1,400 to $1,500.
Accommodations for both married and unmarried graduate students
are available on the University's Chicago campus.
The Law School has no funds available for travel expenses of graduate students. It is necessary for those accepted for graduate study to
make their own arrangements through the Fulbright program or otherwise.
FELLOWSHIPS IN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES
In 1957, the Ford Foundation made a grant to the Law School for
expansion of its program in International Legal Studies. The sum of
$7,000 a year is specifically made available for graduate fellowships for
foreign lawyers and students. Applicants interested in pursuing international legal studies as their major interest are given preference in the
awarding of these Ford Fellowships.
The Law School has long been interested in international law and
related subjects. The late Dean Wigmore inaugurated this interest and
laid the foundation for a substantial collection of international and
foreign law materials available in the Law Library. For many years the
School has offered a basic introductory course in International Law.
The School has also offered seminars in International Organization,
Comparative Law, Admiralty, and Civil Liberties on a comparative basis.
In furtherance of the grant the School has added a course in Family Law
with emphasis on comparative materials, a seminar in International Business Transactions, and a seminar on European Economic Organizations.
The James Nelson Raymond Fellowship is awarded on a competitive
basis to applicants, domestic or foreign, interested in any field of legal
study, including International Legal Studies.
The amount of each fellowship is $3,500. From that amount tuition
and fees are deducted. The amount of the fellowship award, after these
deductions, is paid in ten installments, the first being available on
September 15.
Since 1961 the General Electric Foundation has made an annual grant
of $5,000 for research in the field of problems of international and foreign
antitrust law.
More information on the Program of International Legal Studies
appears on page 55.
CRIMIN AL LAW FELLOWSHIPS
1. Police Legal Advisor Program
Through the generosity of the Ford Foundation several fellowships
are available each year for recent Law School graduates with an interest
86
�in careers as Police Legal Advisors. The objective of this program is to
train young lawyers for positions which may be described generally as
"house counsel" to metropolitan police departments or to groups of
police departments in rural areas.
The period of training under a fellowship grant is two years. The
first year is spent in residence at the Law School. During the second
year, the student will actually serve as legal adviser to a police department. At the end of that period, participants in the Program are eligible for the Master of Laws degree.
The fellowships range in amounts up to $7,000 each year, and are
considered tax exempt.
Fellowship recipients may begin their studies either in the first
semester (September) of each school year or in the second semester
(February).
2. Prosecution and Defense Program
Fellowships are also available for recent law school graduates with
interest in careers as prosecutors or defense counsel in criminal cases.
As in the Police Legal Advisor Program, the period of training is two
years-the first year is spent in residence at the Law School (with part
time service in the local prosecutor or defense office), and in the second
year the student serves full time in a prosecutor or defense office. At the
end of the two-year period, participants in the Program are eligible for
the Master of Laws degree.
Fellowships for this Program are awarded in amounts up to $7,000 a
year and are considered tax exempt. Students may begin studies in either
the first or second semester.
More information on the Criminal Law Program appears on page 55.
GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS
Additional information concerning the fellowships described above,
including application requirements, filing deadlines, and award dates,
may be obtained by writing to the Committee on Graduate Admissions of
the Law School.
Normally, fellowships are not awarded to foreign students who already
have spent a year in this country under another scholarship grant. Fellowships are granted for one year only.
None of the graduate fellowships described above contains provisions
for travel expenses. Students must make their own travel arrangements.
Successful fellowship applicants should also bring sufficient funds for
personal expenses from the time of arrival until September 15.

�In this century four distinguished scholars
and educators have led Northwestern 's
School of Law. Dean John Ritchie assumed
the post in 1957.

That's where we learned our law."

THE SCHOOL
AND ITS
ALUMNI
The bonds formed in the years of study at the Law School are enduring ones. The School through its Placement Service offers assistance
to the graduate in finding a position which promises satisfaction both in
economic terms and in terms of self-realization and contribution. And
the School's alumni band together both to keep alive memories and
friendships of student days and to provide the support so important
to the School.
PLACEMENT
At graduation the Northwestern law student joins the century-long
procession of Law School alumni. A wide range of choice is open. To
provide its graduates with advice, guidance, and a broad selection of
opportunities for their legal careers, the Law School maintains a placement service under the direction of Assistant Dean William C. Chamberlin.
Through general announcements to the profession and particular
inquiries, the Placement Service gathers information on professional
88
�opportumt1es and openings. The Placement Service compiles a complete listing of these opportunities, maintains files for the use of prospective graduates, and posts announcements of new openings to keep the
student's information current.
That the bar is overcrowded has been repeated in each generation.
But the demand for well-trained able young lawyers has not diminished,
and the rising level of starting salaries gives evidence of the professional
need. Each year the Placement Service receives inquiries and requests
from law firms, corporations, and government agencies for many times the
number of available graduates.
A majority of the Law School's alumni are engaged in the private
practice of law. Some have chosen to remain in Chicago, while others
have settled in cities and towns throughout the United States. In large
firms and in individual practice Northwestern graduates rank as leaders
of the bar in nearly every state in the nation and in several foreign countries. In service to their profession as well as their clients they have occupied the presidencies of the American, state, and local bar associations.
Not all alumni elect the rewards of private practice. Furthering a
strong tradition of public service, a number of men in each graduating
class accept positions with government at the national, state, or local
level. Working with prosecuting and investigating agencies, on government boards and commissions, and on the staffs of government departments, these men are often vested with major responsibilities and acquire
wide experience early in their professional lives. After a period of
government service many enter private practice, where their experience
in government is of great value. Others make public service a career and
attain high public office, elective or appointive.
The roster of Law School alumni includes governors and United
States Senators, cabinet members, department heads, diplomats, mayors,
attorney-generals, prosecutors, and legislators and government advisers.
The strength of the Northwestern tradition of public service is illustrated by a striking statistic: in more than half the Presidential campaigns of the past seventy years a Law School alumnus has been either
the candidate or a strong contender for the nomination of one of the
two major parties.
In the judiciary Northwestern men have served with distinction on
the benches of the highest courts, both federal and state. For the topranking students there are opportunities for clerkships with justices and
judges of the federal and state courts.
Openings in the field of law teaching are not numerous, and the
financial rewards are not great. Through the years Northwestern for
its size has contributed more than its share of the nation's law teachers.
Its graduates have joined the faculties of nearly all the major law schools
89
�Alumni gather in the Law School garden for a reunion .
in the United States, and many Northwestern men have served as deans,
university presidents, and leaders in other branches of education.
An expanding field of opportunity beyond the limits of traditional
practice is offered the Law School graduate interested in business, industry, and finance. In increasing recognition of the values of legal training,
corporations, banks, and companies in a wide range of enterprise have
come to seek Law School graduates not only for their legal staffs but for
executive positions as well. Attractive starting salaries and opportunities
90
�for advancement in management have combined to draw a substantial
number of graduates of the Law School. Alumni have risen to principal
executive posts in many of the nation's largest corporations in such fields
as transporation, oil, retailing, insurance, finance, public utilities, and
manufacturing.
From the array of professional opportunities open to him, the graduating student must choose for himself. It is the function of the Law
School's Placement Service to aid him in exploring the possibilities and to
arrange the necessary contacts.
Each year a large number of law firms from major cities throughout
the United States send partners to the Law School to interview advanced
students. Government agencies, corporations, and banks also send representatives to the School for interviews. In addition to the hundreds of
personal interviews conducted annually at the Law School, Placement
Service arranges for interviews of students in large numbers at law offices,
government agencies, and corporate headquarters.
A biographical summary is prepared and duplicated for each prospective graduate seeking a position, and appropriate letters of introduction
and recommendation are furnished.
Beyond its service to current graduates, the Placement Service also
handles the temporary placement of students with law firms and government agencies for summer vacation periods, in Chicago and elsewhere,
typically between the student's second and third years, and the placement
of alumni of earlier years who are returning from military service or are
seeking a change of position.
THE LAW ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Over the years the Law School has enjoyed the loyal support of its
alumni. They commemorated the Law School's centennial by contributing substantially to the construction of Robert R. McCormick Hall and
the Owen L. Coon Library, and their generous annual gifts to the Law
Alumni Fund provide scholarships and significant support for the general
program of the School.
Many alumni assist directly in the educational program. A number
serve as judges in the Moot Court program. In addition, alumni are
frequently asked to draw upon their practical experience and special
knowledge in particular fields of law by participating in course work
or addressing student groups. They render invaluable assistance in connection with the placement program.
Each year alumni reunions are held during the meetings of the American Bar Association and various state bar associations. In addition, an
alumni dinner is held each spring in Chicago with a prominent guest
speaker. Also, a faculty-alumni luncheon is held in Chicago each fall.

LAW
STUDY
AT
NORTHWESTERN
For more than a century the School of Law has been dedica ted to
the educa tion of men for all branches of endeavor in the law under
the highest standards of academic and professional excellence. This
dedication marks the ch aracter of the Law School today.
Professional training of the high est order and the d evelopment of
each student's unique capabilities are fostered by a close working relationship between student and teacher. Early in its history, the L aw School
adopted a policy of limited enrollme nt to promote educational quality.
Today Northwestern remains a law school of m edium size, small in
comparison with others of n ational sta nding. The result is that each
student is the beneficiary of a significan t share of the resources of the
School.
In further an ce of its objectives of excell en ce, the Law School maintains a policy of selective admission to assure that each student is capable,
first of benefiting from ch allenging instruction and, second of pursuing
intell ectual goals with self-disciplin e and initia tive. Those chosen are
students of independent and seeking mind, who need not be led but
who, on the contrary, can contribute to th e education of their fellows
in cooperative endeavor. For effective teaching of students of the highest
calibre, instruction is conducted in small groups b y a faculty who devote
their full energies to legal education.
The facilities of the School have been designed in the belief that
balanced preparation for the profession cannot be co nfined to the
classroom. The Law School, with its comprehensive library arranged
for effecti ve scholarship a nd its ample provision for inform al conference
IO
�and discussion, constitutes a self-sufficient center for legal learning. The
continuous exchange of thought and opinion in a cohesive student body
of outstanding men and women in close contact with a distinguished
faculty recalls the classic concept of a university as an independent
community of scholars.
The first law school in its state and region and among the oldest
in the nation, Northwestern enjoys a rich heritage.
The spirit of the profession is respected and preserved in the architecture and atmosphere of its buildings and in the traditions of student
life. At the same time, the School's program of instruction is designed
to prepare students for the broad challenge of the future. Long identified with forward-look ing movements in legal education, the Law School
today offers a curriculum arranged to foster an understanding of the
formative principles th at guide growth and change in the law, to educate lawyers not for the demands of the practice of the past or even of
the present, but for the years ahead in which today's students will live
out their professional lives.
In this century the law has emerged as a profession vitally integrated
with every phase of the nation's economic, social, and politi cal development. With advanced teaching materials and techniques, a deep tradition of scholarship, the broad educational resources of a great University,
and the professional and cultural enrichment of a metropolitan center,
the Law School continues to educate its students for the broad responsibilities and demands of the legal profession and the service of its ideals.

�these noble buildings, designed for
one o( the noblest uses to which any
building can be put-the teaching of law."
-Sir William Searle Holdsworth,

Law School buildings, Jun e 16, 1927.
THE
LAW
SCHOOL
Unlike the physical sciences, legal learning requires no elaborate
apparatus. The study of law is the study of ideas, and history teaches
that ideas may be born in the most adverse m a terial circumstances. More
important than stone and mortar are the traditions and the spirit which
give life to the school and inspire its students and teachers.
For the serious student, however, a stimulating and congenial environment makes a unique contribution to the educational process. Professional training of the highest order requires more than a comprehensive
library and classrooms designed for effective teaching. There must be
places for reflection and concentration . There must be arrangements
conducive to informal interchange of thought and opinion between
student and student, and between student and teacher. The atmosphere
should imbue the student of law with an appreciation for the ancient
traditions of the bar and for the profession al heritage he will share.
LOCATION
The Law School is situated on the shore of Lake Michigan near the
center of Chicago. To the south, along the lake front, lie Grant Park,
a series of yacht basins, recreational facilities, museums of art and
natural history, a planetarium, and an aquarium. To the north extends
the noted Gold Coast, an area of fash ionable residential apartments
separated from the lake by a continuous series of parks, beaches, golf
12
�courses, and boating facilities. Nearby, to the west, is one of the city's
centers of art and entertainment. A half-mile to the southwest is the
Chicago Loop, the central business and shopping area, and the legal
and financial center of the region. Here are located the buildings housing
the offices of federal, state, and municipal government. In close proximity
to the Law School, convenient for student visits and observation, are
trial and appellate courts of both the state and federal governments,
ranging from the local small claims courts to the United States Court of
Appeals.
Situated in the stimulating intellectual climate of the metropolitan
center, the Law School enjoys unexcelled opportunities for laboratory
study of the law in action and benefits in addition from the ready
availability of outstanding specialists in every branch of the law. Frequent lectures, specialized courses, and supplementary class participation
by leading jurists, practitioners, and public officials enrich the basic
instruction.
PROFESSION AL CAMPUS
The Law School constitutes part of the self-contained professional
campus of Northwestern University. Surrounding the Law School are
the separate buildings of the Graduate School of Business Administration
and the Medical and Dental Schools. Also on the campus are Thorne
Hall, an auditorium available for major convocations and ceremonies,
and Abbott Hall, the 18-floor student residence for the men and women
enrolled in these graduate schools, with dining rooms, cafeteria, fountain,
lounges, bowling alleys and other athletic facilities, and accessory shops
and services.
Living and studying in a self-sufficient graduate campus, the law
student broadens his perspective through contact with professional students in other disciplines but remains free from the distractions of
undergraduate life. Twelve miles north, on the original campus of the
University in suburban Evanston, the main body of undergraduate
students and about 1,5 00 graduate students are enrolled. This wooded,
lakeside campus is readily accessible to Law School students for cultural
events and intercollegiate athletics.
Physically autonomous, the Law School resembles a small college,
with the benefits of a cohesive academic community. As part of a great
University, it enjoys as well the resources and vitality of a broad range
of learning. Outstanding professors from other schools and departments
participate in Law School instruction, to make available the contributions of economics, psychiatry, sociology, political science, and a variety
of other disciplines in the understanding and solution of the problems
of human behavior which are the province of law.
13
�Bounded by the waters of Lake Michigan immediately to the east
and by the surrounding campus, the Law School stands as an academic
preserve in the heart of a metropolis, enjoying the benefits of a central
site with few of its disadvantages.
LAW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The Law School itself consists of a complex of buildings, functionally
integrated and arranged to form a quadrangle occupying the block
between Chicago Avenue and Superior Street. The original buildings,
Levy Mayer Hall and the Elbert H. Gary Library, were completed in
1926. Robert R. McCormick Hall and the Owen L. Coon Library, also
named for alumni of the School, were completed in 1960. The four
buildings present a harmonious exterior, all constructed of limestone in
a modified Gothic design reminiscent of the historic structures of English
law. The quadrangle completely encloses the Law School garden.
Bordered by cloistered arcades, the garden, with its hedge-lined walks,
shaded corners, and stone benches, is a favored retreat for students and
faculty in spring and autumn months.
In interior design and ornament, the older buildings of the Law
School are rich in the lore of the law. Medallions, seals, and shields in
legal motifs decorate the oak-paneled walls and corridors, and stainedglass designs accent the windows, linking the student with the past of
the profession. Some 2,500 portraits, engravings, etchings, and photographs, collected by the late Dean John H. Wigmore in the United
States, England, and the Continent, are hung about the School to illustrate the men and events of the law, throughout history and throughout
the world. The atmosphere is blended in the newer buildings with the
clean lines of modern functionalism. Both libraries and Robert R.
McCormick Hall are completely air-conditioned.
CLASSROOMS
The Law School contains seven major classrooms. These generous
facilities make it possible to schedule a number of classes at the same
time, reducing the number of students in each class meeting. The classes
are divided into sections for all work of the first year and for most
courses during the second year. As a consequence, the number of
students attending a class seldom exceeds 65 and is typically much
smaller. Such classes, small by general law school standards, encourage
responsible participation by each student in the probing, analytical
discussion that is the mark of legal education at Iorthwestern.
In each classroom the student is provided with a continuous tabledesk or with a free-standing oak desk for his course materials and notebooks. In most of the rooms the student desks are elevated in tiers and
14
�surround the instructor's desk in amph itheatre style, faci li tati ng communications, in both directions, between student and teacher. The
three newer classrooms are equipped for the use of audio-visual aids.
Lincoln Hall, the largest classroom, was modeled after the British House
of Commons in dimensions and seating arrangement. With a capacity
equal to the entire student body, it is used principally for major extracurricular lectures, public conferences, and student assemblies.
SEMINAR ROOMS
For instruction at a more advanced and individualized level, the
Law School buildings provide six seminar rooms. Here small groups
of students, typically from eight to 14, are seated at a single large table
with a faculty member for an informal and detailed analysis of problem
areas lying at the frontiers of legal development. In such study, the
student necessarily bears a large measure of responsibility for g iving
direction and substance to the discussion.
Notable among the seminar rooms of the School is the Wigmore
Room, named for the former dean and furnished with memorabilia of
his distinguished ca reer. Installed in a concealed portion of the room
are the Wigmore chimes, a unique musical machine that plays at noon
"The Counsellor's Chorus," the Law School so ng composed by Dean
Wigmore himself. MacChesney Hall, in the newer building, is hand-
�somely furnished with a table 35 feet in length and richly upholstered
chairs. The Williams Room, renovated and refurnished in 1961, is
similiarly appointed. Two other seminar rooms are situated above the
library overlooking the lake, and are adjoined by roof balconies offering
a welcome respite on pleasant days.
COURTROOM
For practice and instruction in the arts of advocacy, the School has
a fully equipped modern courtroom, complete with witness stand, jury
box, counsel tables, and seating for spectators. Of striking modern design, the Getz Courtroom is used both for practice trials and for the
argument of mock appeals.
LIBRARY
The indispensable instruments of the lawyer's calling are books, and
a comprehensive and well-arranged library is essential to effective training for the profession. The library, with its associated research facilities,
is the heart of the Law School.
The Northwestern Law School library consists of two buildings, integrated physically and administered as a unit, the Elbert H. Gary Library
and the Owen L. Coon Library. In combination, the library occupies a
full side of the Law School quadrangle extending from Chicago Avenue
to Superior Street, and includes four floors of working area. The constantly growing collection contains some 200,000 volumes, is among the six
largest law school libraries in the western world, and constitutes the
largest legal collection in the Chicago area.
More important than sheer size, however, is the utility of the collection. The main reading room of the library occupies the highest floor
of the building, and is divided by shelved partitions into dozens of
secluded but well-lighted alcoves fitted with large working tables and
chairs, to provide convenient accommodations close by the books. The
arrangement is repeated on the lower floors, with the addition of a number of individual carrells for sustained and concentrated research. The
working spaces have a seating capacity nearly equal to the total enrollment of the School. Included on a lower level are glass-walled typing
areas, with individual sound-proof carrells open to any student who may
wish to type a research paper or to re-organize his course notes.
The library is operated under an open-stack policy, to bring readers
and books together without unnecessary formalities. The student is free
to browse and to search at will through the collection, and may call upon
either the expert full-time staff of 15 or the 15 assistants if he is in need
of guidance, aid, or suggestions. The library is open daily throughout
the year, and in the evenings as well whenever the School is in session.
16
�To free the general collection from the heavy demands of faculty scholarship, a separate working collection is m aintained for faculty use.
The course of instruction has been designed to en courage the use of
these library resources, and to assure that each student will be capable of
independent and scholarly legal research. In a required course in the
first term of his legal education, the student receives individual instruction in the techniques of assembling and using the varied materials of
research in the law, from the most a ncient reports to the la test modern
developments. During the remainder of his studies, he accumulates
experience and develops his powers of perceptive, resourceful research
through work in moot court, supplementary course studies, research in
adva nced seminars, and the preparation of articles and papers for the
School's legal publications.
The library 's collection includes substantially all the reported decisions of the courts of the U nited States, its separate states and territories,
Great Britain and the Commonwealth, together with their statutes and
session laws, and subsidiary publications-digests, encyclopedias, annotated cases, textbooks, pp eriodicals, bibliograFhies-necessary to form a
complete working collection for ever y legal system in the English lan-

�guage. T hi s Anglo-American coll ec tion is sup plemented by a selection
of works in the fields of history, eco nomics, government, and the other
social and behavioral scien ces. The library also receives every current
legal periodica l of general interest printed in the English language.
More tha n one-third of the total collection is m ad e up of works in the
fields of foreign and international law. T h e comprehensive materi als
in foreign law includes the cod es, trea tises, decisions, a nd journals of all
major Europea n countries and J apan, and good working collections in
L a tin-America n law. Furthering its forward-looking policies, the library
began a t a n early d ate to build a complete collection in the Jaw of nations, goi ng beyond the domestic laws of the separate countries to emphasize the rules of Jaw co ntrolling their relations with each other. The
la rge collection of trea tises and periodicals in intern a tional law is supplem ented b y m a n y trea ties a nd diplomatic documents, and the whole permi ts original and useful work to b e carried on in th e field of public intern ational law.
Holdings in other specialized fields include a comprehensive collection of trea tises, periodicals, and docume nts in criminal Jaw and its
administra tion , a nd a sp ecial collection of materials in aeron autics, including aviation law, commerce, a nd oth er works in the field excl usive
of technica l engineeri ng publications. In add ition, the library includes
outstanding collections of medieval law, jurisprudence, legal history,
a nd comparative law, a nd valuable reso urces in Roman law.
The L aw School library is independent in administration and organiza tion, but its compreh ensive sources are supplemented in speciali zed
areas through inter-library loans and other cooperative arrangem en ts
w ith the general U niversity library, dep artme ntal libraries, and the major
publi c, edu ca tion al, and legal collections in the region.
A special fea ture of the library is i ts distinguished rare book collection, h oused in the h a ndsome H ardy Scholars Treasure R oom adjoining
the m ain reading room. These a ncient volumes, numbering some 2,500,
h ave been acquired through the years and represent a variety of fields.
Many are first editions of the classics of the law, includin g a number of
manuscripts a nd incunabula, that is, books printed before 1500. A
number are unique, or the only copies in the western h emisphere. The
value of these books is not primarily antiquarian, h owever. T hey h ave
been gathered a nd selected because they are indispensable for effective
lega l research in areas that may b e vital both to scholars and practitioners.
Although the reserve facilities of the library h ave been con stru cted
with foresight to accommod ate a n eventua l collection twice the size of
the current holdings, provision has also been made for the use of the
m aterials of legal research of the future. A section of the library is fu lly
fitted with the b asic equipme nt for the use of micro-film and micro-cards,
18
�designed to replace conventional books and to ameliorate their problems
of bulk and deterioration .
As the practitioner of a learned profession, the lawyer is more than
a craftsman. To encourage a wide-ranging interest among the students,
a section of the main reading room has been set aside for casual reading
in fields of current or general significance. Comfortably furnished, the
browsing area offers current periodicals as well as a broad collection of
biographical and miscellaneous works.
STUDENT FACILITIES
In informal give-and-take discussion with his fellows, the student
lawyer develops his powers of analysis and expression. To foster these
close student relationships that have marked the best in legal education
since the profession's beginnings, the Law School has set aside a substantial share of its facilities for student use. Lounges are provided on each
of the four floors of Levy Mayer Hall for short periods of study or relaxation before class. Lowden Hall, named for the first of the School's alumni
to serve as governor of Illinois, is the principal student lounge and is
rich with reminders of the history of law and the Law School. Its equipment and comfortable furnishings include a fireplace and, for lighter
moments, a piano. On the lower level, adjacent to the locker area, are
dispensers of coffee, milk, soft drinks, and snacks, and a room equipped
with tables for a coffee break or light luncheon.
A unique feature of the Law School is the fourth-floor study area.
Here some eight rooms are devoted exclusively to student use for informal
review sessions or individual study. Each room is supplied with reading
tables or desks, chairs, and high-backed benches to accommodate from
four to ten students. These rooms are open and avai lable to all students
while the School is in session.
Separate offices are furnished for the various co-curricular activities
conducted under student auspices and control. The officers of the Junior
Bar Association and the staff of the Law Review, the Wigmore, the
Reporter, the Student Book Exchange, and candidates for the S.J.D.
degree enjoy the benefit of private offices.
FACULTY OFFICES
In keeping with long-standing tradition at the Law School, faculty
members are readily available to individual students for questions and
conferences. The tradition is physically embodied in the Law School
buildings, where each faculty office opens directly onto the main corridors for access without formalities or intermediaries. The arrangment
leads to frequent and fruitful contact between student and teacher.
19
�"[Here the] teaching will . . . give men
what they want to know when they go out
to fight, but .. . it will send them forth
with a pennon as well as with a sword,
to keep before their eyes in the long
battle the little flutter that means ideals,
honor, yes, even romance, in all the dull
details."
THE
COU RSE
-Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes,
at the dedication of th e
Law School buildings, October 20, 1902.
OF
INSTRU CTION
The purpose of the Law School is to prepare its graduates for effective service in all fields of law. The course of instruction has been organized, through experience, experiment, and analysis, to offer legal
education of the highest order, to qualify men and women not only for
the private practice of the profession but for careers in government
service, in the fields of commerce and finance, and in legal education as
well. The program is designed to provide a broad training in the techniques of the law and an understanding of its institutions, to the end
that the graduate will be equipped for practice in any legal system based
upon the foundations of Anglo-American law. The curriculum does
not concentrate ·upon imparting a knowledge of the legal rules applicable in any one jurisdiction or region . Rather, it concentrates upon the
development of the fundamental capacities and skills of the lawyer.
Human activity is infinitely varied and ever changing. Law, bringing
order and direction to the relations of men, involves a continuous process
of growth and adjustment. Every legal problem and each case that comes
to the lawyer is, in a sense, unique. Effective professional education must
therefore prepare the student to deal with situations never before encountered, to direct the resources of the law to new fields of human
endeavor, and to handle not the problems of the past but the cases of
the future.
20
�Reflecting this objective, the program of instruction in the Law
School differs markedly from the usual undergraduate instruction. It requires, of course, diligence and effort for a mastery of the formal materials of the course. Beyond this foundation, the instruction demands
thought and in itiative of the individual stude nt, to extend hi s learning
beyond the limits of the materials and to stretch his powers of analysis.
As the lawyer must deal with new situations throughout his professional
life, so the student lawyer is taught to transcend rote learning and to
find his way in unfamiliar contexts. The resul t is an intellectual challenge that is both rewarding and stimulating. The individual student is
spurred to go as far as his mind and industry will carry him.
CLASSES
The law student typically attends classes for 15 or 16 hours during
the course of the Law School's five-day week. Class meetings are scheduled throughout the morning and afternoon to break the pace and to
permit the student to review his preparation during open hours before
class. Two or three times as many hours are devoted to individual study
as are spent in class. Time spent in valuable activities and independent
research must be added to the requirements of course work. The study
of law, therefore, is a full-time occupation.
In a typical Law School term, the student's class attendance will be
distributed among four or five courses. Some of the subjects represent
ancient categories of the law. Course titles su ch as Criminal Law, Property, Contracts, and Torts go back, as separate topics, to the days of Lord
Coke or Blackstone. But life h as changed since those early days in the
law, and even th ese traditional subj ects have altered substantially in content. Today in Torts the focus is on such disparate objects as the automobile and the atom, and upon the legal problem each presents to an
energized society. Property law today concerns itself not only with ancient learning but as well with such topics as urban renewal and air
rights. Criminal Law more and more is concerned with psychiatry, the
causes of crime, and modern correctional theories. The law of Contracts
today finds itself dealing with rocket construction.
�The changing character of law is reflected in the content of traditional courses, altered to keep pace with a changing society. It is reflected
too in the newer courses introduced by the Law School into the law
curriculum to deal with emerging areas of legal service. The lawyer is a
full-time student for only one period in his professional life. Within the
limits of the possible, he must be educated in that brief span for the responsibilities of the legal profession , not just for the clay, but for the half
century of lawyer's work that lies ahead. So it is that Labor Relations,
Taxation, Administrative Law, Civi l Rights, and Trade Relations were
introduced into the basic program of the Law School during the formative years of those subjects, anticipating the current recognition of their
significance. Courses and seminars in International Law, Scientific Evidence, Comparative Law, and International Business Transactions illustrate the fashion in which a dynamic law schoo l today shapes its instructional program to meet the needs of the profession for the years that lie
ahead.
THE THREE-YEAR CURRICULUM
In the last century, Northwestern was among the first of the nation's
law schools to require three years of study for a degree in law, setting the
norm in legal edu cation. Ordinarily, beginning students enter the Law
School in September and attend the two semesters of the regular academic year for three years . Optional summer sessions afford flexibility
and the enrichment of additional elective courses. Two principal provisions are made to accommodate students in special circumstances. First,
by attending summer sessions, students may earn their degrees in 28
months. Second, beginning students may enter in February, at the opening of the second term.
During his first year of law study, the student follows a prescribed
course designed to provide an understanding of basic legal principles and
concepts, and to give a solid grounding in the fundamentals indispensable for al l branches of the profession. Here the student encounters the
grand divisions of private law-Property, Tort, and Contract-as well as
Constitutional Law and Crimina l Law. In the first term, the members
of the first-year class are taught the use of legal research materials and
throughout the year are given individual instruction in legal writing. A
senior faculty member is designated as advisor for each entering student
to aid in the adjustment to legal education and to assist with particular
problems or difficulties.
Some opportunity for elective courses and seminars appears in the
second-year curriculum, and the widest cho ice is afforded in the third
year. The student, however, does not normally "specialize" in the course
of the law school career.
22
�The student who hopes to become a corporation lawyer, or a criminal
lawyer, or a tax lawyer will, for the most part, follow the same basic
course of study others are pursuing. The aspiring tax lawyer's program
will only be a course or two heavier in the tax field than that of his companion who expects to go into corporate practi ce with a large city firm
or another who plans to return to a small town for general practice. A
broad base in fund a mentals is necessary in every field, a nd intelligent
choice can be made only from a general famili arity with the available
fi elds. Lawyers quite regularly turn up in posts of responsibility neither
they nor their law school facu lties envisioned. The wide range of electives offered by the Law School permits a modest degree of speciali zation
but, more significantly, a llows the student to follow the bent of h is personal interests and to sample a variety of problems in the law.
In the second and third years, courses are frequentl y arranged so that
the student will exa min e related fields of law a t the same time and be
made aware of their interrelations. An example of this fun ctional grouping of rel a ted courses is afforded by the seminar in Law and the Industrial Society, in which the content of the separate courses in Corporations,
Labor Relations, and Trade Relations is integrated and synthesized.
Problems of law, especiall y those dealt with in advanced courses, are
often involved with problems of business and government. In recognition
of these ties, materials from other disciplines are integrated with legal
studies, and special lecturers are drawn not only from among the specialists in the profession and the faculties of their departments of the U niversity, but from the business community and government as well.
It is in the adva nced courses principally that the student is offered the
opportunity to explore the frontiers of the law and to work in close
coopera tion with the members of the facu lty. Sma ll classes and frequent
individual co nferences on research papers bring student and teacher into
rewarding personal relationships. In addition, a number of upperclassmen are chosen annually to serve as research assistants to the facu lty, each
assigned personally to a professor to aid in scho larly activities.
FACULTY
The basic instruction in the Law School program is co nducted by the
full-time resident facu lty, who take teaching as their first responsibility.
Each member is experienced in priva te practice and a number have
served in responsible governme nt posts as well. lVIa n y are call ed upon
for co nsultatio n and advice by government agencies and private groups,
and are active in the organizations a nd affairs of the legal profession .
The ir scho larly activities in cl ude the delivery of lectures and addresses
before legal and p ubli c bodies as we ll as the preparation of learned
treatises and articl es. Such activities serve to complement a nd to enrich
23
�the instruction. The casebooks and other teaching materials for a majority of the courses offered in th e Sch ool were prepared by the teachers
who conduct the classes, and many are widely used, standard works in
their respective fields.
Four Teachin g Associates are appointed a nnu ally to assist in the
ed ucation al program of the School. T h ese facu lty members, chosen from
the outstanding recent grad uates of American and British law schools,
in struct the first-year men on a tutorial and individual basis in the techniques of lega l writing, research, a nd oral argument; they work closely
with the enterin g stu dents in smaller groups.
THE METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
In recognition of the lawyer's function of articulating the conflicting
interests of society, instruction in modern law schools is condu cted principall y through participation by the class. No longer does the student
lawyer listen passively in a lecture audience. To maximize the ed ucational benefits of active participation, Northwestern Law School h as
adop ted a curricular poli cy emph asizin g instruction through re lative ly
small classes and sem in ars. First-year co urses e nrolling 150 students or
more h ave no place in the Law School program. The entering stud ent
will find himseH a ttending classes with a group of less than half that size.
Seminars are limi ted in enrollment, a nd common ly range in size from
six or eight to 12 or 14 students. Instruction of this kind requires a low
student-faculty ratio. The program of the School is based upon the conviction that this co ncentration of educa tional resources upon the individu al studen t is most effec tive in developing the skills that distinguish
the legal profession.
The methods of instruction in the Law School vary from course to
course, in response to the nature of the subject matter, the role assigned
to the course in the total training of the lawyer, and the teaching philosophy of the instructor. For descriptive purposes, instructional methods
may be grouped in four general categories.
THE CASE METHOD
The case method of teaching, employed principally in the first two years of stud y, is founded upon the premise that
th e first objective of law training is to develop an understanding on the
part of the student of how and why the courts decide cases as they do.
The method was adopted at th e Law School in the earliest years of its
evolution. The materials of study are the actual decisions of courts,
embodied in ·writte n opin ions rendered in real and disputed cases, rather
th a n a textbook compendium of lega l rules. T h e cases themselves are the
specimens of legal controversy to be exam in ed and dissected. The student
24
�Casebooks and treat,ises by membe rs of the Law School faculty constitute
basic materials of instruction .
is brought to the level of a participant in the proceedin g, a nalyzing each
stage in the course of litiga tion a nd each step in the process of decision.
Through painstaking scrutin y of a large number of cases, the student
shares, vicar ious] y, the ex perience of the lawyers a nd judges who conducted th em, a nd thereby ga in s an understanding o f the judicial process
based on observatio n of the law in actio n a t first h a nd .
Although the case method var ies, in its use, with the approach of the
professor, th e teachin g styles grouped under this h eadin g h ave certain
ch aracteristic elements in common.
Under the case system, it is essential that students prepare thoroughly
a nd intensively before class. T h e course materials for this preparation
consist of a casebook, a collect io n of actual decisions in rela ted kinds of
controversy. T h e student at Northwestern will find that the authors of
many of hi s casebooks are his own pro lessors, a uthorities in their respective fields. T he class session in a case-taught course typically will n ot
offer a lecture but rath er a discussion of severa l of these cases, condu cted
in the manner of a Socratic dialogue between the teacher a nd students.
Questions are designed to test the student's understanding of the case,
to identify the co nsidera tion s that co ntrol led th e decision, a nd to probe
its implications for similar sit uations a nd its rela tion to other decisions.
The discussion is co ndu cted in a n a tmosphere of unrelenting qu estioning of each idea presented, by both fellow students a nd instru ctor.
Through the guidan ce of provocative questions, the students develop a
healthy skep ticism, a capacity for independent critical judgment, a nd
a tough-minded ap proach to lega l m a terials.

�Although the professor may upon occasion depart from the interrogating role to explain the background of a legal problem or to give
direction to the class discussion, the essence of the case method is the
collective probing and searching, the crucible of give and take in which
the student's own powers of reason and analysis are tempered and developed. The system is in fact designed to cast back to the student, with
the benefit of group discussion, the task of developing for himself an
understanding, first, of what courts and administrative agencies do and
why they do it, and, second, of how to participate effectively in the
process. From the outset of his law schoo l career, the student is thus led
to do what he will do throughout his professional life-to think, to
analyze, and to decide on his own initiative.
With their interplay of ideas and clash of opinion, class sessions are
se ldom dull. Since the significant formulation in the progress of the discussion may well come from a fe ll ow student, and since any student may
be drawn into the discussion at any time, alertness and concentrated
attention is required of al l. With collective thought focused on the problem provided or suggested by the case, there are times when minds
stretch and their reach even may be extended. The mainstay of the firstyear curriculum, the case method of teaching is withal a singularl y
exciting and stimu lating intellectual experience for the beginning law
student.
THE PROBLEM METHOD
The problem method, an instructional technique originated at the Law School and increasingly employed
throughout legal education, is used in many second- and third-year
courses. Here the emphasis is not upon the cases or administrative decisions as such. The focus of the student's work and of the class session is
rather a set of facts raising legal problems for which there may indeed be
no authoritative solution. The student's task is to take the available
materials in the forms of decisions, statutes, and administrative rulings
and to construct or create his own solution to the problem.
Perhaps the problem is set at the stage where the businessman asks
for advice on a proposed transaction. Perhaps the transaction has already
taken place and the problem concerns the consequences to be attached
to the transaction by the federal or state government by way of taxation
or regulation. In short, the problems are much like those which come to
the lawyer in actual practice, and in fact the problems are frequently
drawn from life. Consultative practice by some members of the faculty
and the generally close relationship between the School and the practicing profession combine to provide the student in a problem-method
course with an experience that closely approximates the practice of law.
Characteristically, in a course taught by this method, the student submits, before the class session, a short memorandum solution to the prob26
�lem, based on his an alysis of r eleva nt source material. In the class sessio n h e, or one of his fellow stud e nts, will be invited to expl ain the legal
issu es presented b y the problem sit ua ti on a nd the views h e tak es o f those
issu es. Discussion , often vigorou s, foll ows.
Som e times a particu la r d ec ision or sta tute m ay rela te di rectl y to the
problem, a nd a t times the cl ass sessio n may b e d evoted to the examin ation of a leading case a nd its releva nce to the problem assigned . A t other
times th e probl em m ay fa ll in a n a rea wh ere the legal la ndma rks are
few, and the imagina tive use of sta tutor y m a terials a nd administra tive
r egula tions is r equired . Nor are the problem sessions m erely exercises
in d eveloping the technica l skills of the lawyer in m arsh alling a nd utilizing available legal m a terials in the solution of parti cular problems.
Often th e sp ecific, concrete probl em supplies the p ersp ective in which
basic qu es tio ns of socia l policy, o f th e wh y a nd h ow o f the d evelopmen t
of the law, ca n be considered in m ea nin g ful contex t.
SEMINARS
Opportunities are o ffered in the second a nd third years
fo r seminar work in a variety o f fields. H ere the student is free to se lect
su bjects of special interest to him, a nd to exp lore n ew areas of the law.
I n a group numberin g from eight to 14, with the gui da nce of a senior
fac ulty m ember, the studen t will engage in intensive indi vidual work on
som e aspect of the gen eral subj ect embraced b y the seminar. It is in the
semin ars tha t r esearch on th e fro nti ers of the law is m ost commonly
undertaken. Em ergin g areas of p olicy wh ere the resources of th e law m ay
contribute include, for examp le, the con trol of a tomic energy, urba n
ren ewal, extending equ al p ro tectio n of the laws into various as pects of
n a tion al life, and the peacefu l se ttlem ent of interna tio nal disputes. And
i t is in semin ar work tha t the law stude nt will b e expected to cut across
the disciplin es a nd to bring to the law addition al m a ter ia l from such
fields as economics, sociology, psychia try, a nd politica l science. Exp erts
i n su ch discip lin es frequ ently pa rticipa te in semin ar m eetings .
Norm ally the sem inar stude nt writes a m ajor p a per a nd presents this
p roduct of his own research fo r the critica l considera tio n of the seminar
group. W ith the stimulu s of special interest in the subj ect m a tter a nd the
spur of fri endly crit icism from interes ted fellow stude nts in prosp ect,
significa nt legal research is do ne in the semina rs. Some of the p a pers
a re printed in the professi onal jo urn als published by the Law School,
a nd research clone in the seminar program has on occasion bee n favorably
n o ticed in the opinions o f som e o f the high est courts.
PRACTICE COURSES
On e hundred and fift y years ago
n o A merica n law schools a nd the aspirin g a ttorney prepa red
working in the office of a n es ta blished lawyer, observing the
law, a nd learning throu gh tr ia l a nd er ro r the arts a nd skills of
there wer e
himself by
practice of
th e profes27
�sion. The advantages of such training are preserved today, within a
systematic curricu lum for post-grad uate study, in the practice courses
offered throughout the three years of the student's formal legal education.
In these courses, the student actually practices in skills that the practicing attorney is called upon to employ, and he learns, through experience and through exerc ising his own powers, the job of the lawyer.
In addition to the elements of actual practice presented in every
course offered by the Law School, instruction through practice is the
specific object of a number of courses. Prominent among these is the
course known as Legal Clinic. In 1910, Northwestern introduced to legal
edu cat ion the idea of giving law students actual experience in practice
by providing lega l services for the poor. Under this program, law students, during th e last half of their training, serve either in the Clinic
under the supervision of a faculty member appointed for the purpose, or
in the office of a n attorney to whom the student is assigned. The Clinic
handles all kinds of civil cases, a nd the stude nts consult with clients,
interview witnesses, prepare pleadings and oth er instruments, appear in
court, and assist in the condu ct of trials. The trainin g fills a £unction
simi lar in many respects to that of the internship in medical education .
During his first year, the student is instructed in the techniques of
oral and written argument in the co urse in Moot Court. Practicing the
lawyer's skills, he is required to prepare a written brief in compli ance
with prevailing professional standards, and to argue his case, opposed by
a fe llow student, under courtroom conditions before a court composed
of prominent alumni and facu lty members.
In the third year, the student is offered a ch o ice of practice courses in
the trial of a lawsuit from its beginning to encl. The instruction provides
the student with actual experie nce in examin ing witnesses, presenting
evidence, arguing to a jury, and the like. The student thus learns by
doing, not merely by precept, what the trial lawyer must be able to do.
Most of the lawyer's practice is carried on in his office, not in the
co urtroom. To prepare its graduates for the work of cou nselling, advising, and planning, the Law School offers a number of practice courses in
wh ich the student is called upon to draw the legal instruments and documents which the practicing attorney must be able to prepare. In the first
year, the student is assigned office memoranda on legal problems, under
individual supervision. As an upperclassman, he may select practice
courses in such fields as the drafting of wills and the planning of personal
estates, or the drafting of laws a nd legislative documents.
REQUIRED COURSES
For a student to be recommended for the degree of Juris Doctor or
Bachelor of Laws, successful completion of the courses prescribed for the
first and second years is normally required. In addition, he must satisfy
28
�the following requirements; a minimum of two hours of semi nar work
(involving substa ntial individual research and writing) exclusive of participation in the Law R eview Seminar; one h our of Legal Clinic (except
for m embers of th e Law R eview Board); the course in Professional R esponsib ility; a nd at least one course or semin ar in International L aw.
Although the faculty m ay change the requirements for graduation at any
time, this responsibility will not be exercised so as to place an undue
burden upon any e nrolled student who h as pl anned his program on the
basis of previously an noun ced requirements.
LIMITATIONS OF WORK
Courses totaling 16 credit-hours in a ny term, in the opinion of the
facu lty, represent the m aximum amount of work which a good stude nt
ca n do effectively under favorable conditions. A student who is under
any serious h a ndicap, su ch as a physical disability, the necessity of earning p art of his expenses, or commutin g for long distan ces, should reduce
his program . A studen t m ay be limited in his registra tion if, in the
opinion of the Dean, h e cannot undertake a full schedule with a prospect
of success.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT
T h e semin ars and the courses in T ri al Technique and Trial Practice
are limited in enrollment. T h e School cann ot assure tha t all stud ents
wishing to enroll in a particular semin ar, Trial Techniqu e, or Trial
Practice ca n be accommodated.

SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS
In th e total educationa l program of the Law School, the formal course work
within the curriculum is supplemented b y a variety of additional offerings. Lectures by distinguished scholars, jurists, and statesmen from the United States
a nd a broad serve as cultural adjuncts to the regular courses and emphasize the
broader public obligations of the profession. In r ecognition of the Law School's
role in the life of the profession, the community, and the n at ion, conferences
are held which bring together leaders of thought a nd action for discussion of
subj ec ts of major public importance. Through participation in these progra ms,
the student broad.ens his vision a nd develops the sense of public r esponsibility

THE
STUDENT
BODY
A well-seasoned aphorism, familiar to law students everywh ere, says
that a law student receives his education from his classmates. Like many
a n old saw, the observation contai ns within its exaggeration a kernel of
truth. Law school in struction is built upon student participation. Beyond the classroom, the student continues his professional preparation in
give-and-take discussion, corridor debate, and friend ly argument with
his fellows. The vitality of the Law School is measured by the quality
a nd vigor of its student bod y.
At Northwestern , the entering student finds himself a member of a
close-knit community of men and women, bound together by a common
pursuit and by the rich traditions of the Law School's history. The student body is comparatively small , facilitating wide acquaintance amon g
the students. For the past 30 years, the School has managed to keep the
size of its entering classes relatively constant, ranging between 100 and
150. For purposes of instruction, the classes are divided into sections,
further guarding the individual from being submerged in the mass.
The beginner himself will have been carefully chosen through a
policy of selective admission designed to assure that every member of the
class is capable of lega l study at the highest and most challenging level.
His classma tes will be high-ranking graduates of the leading colleges and
48
�universities in the U ni ted States and abroad. In a spiri t of healthy competition, the stud ent realizes his own full capacities in keeping pace with
his fe ll ows.
Students ben efit from friendly relationships with fe ll ow students coming from a wide variety of b ackgrounds. The typical student body consis ts of men a nd women from some 30 states and eight or 10 fore ign
countries. More than 100 colleges and universities are represe nted by
gradu ates enroll ed in the Law School (see pg. 83). A va ri ety of undergraduate majors are included, and many stude nts h ave earn ed grad uate
degrees in oth er fields before entering the Law School.
Law students as a whole tend to be individualistic a nd vent uresome,
a nd a broad range of opi nion and experien ce is encompassed in the
student body. The stimu lating contacts of student life at the Law School
combine to develop a mature, tolerant, a nd broadened outlook in the
individual student.
LEGAL PUBLICATIONS
Foremost among the Law School's student activities is the publication
of the Northwestern University Law Review, one of the nation's leadi ng
profession al journ als. T h e R eview is circulated widely among lawyers
a nd judges, a nd is often cited in briefs a nd judicial opinions. The trad ition in the legal world of professional journals being accepted as
a uthoritative within the profession , although written , ed ited, a nd published by men who h ave not ye t achieved professional statu s, is unique
a mong the professions. Work on the Law R eview is at once the most
demand ing a nd rewarding experience ava ilable to the law stud ent.
T h e Northwestern Universi ty Law R eview was first established b y
studen ts of the school during the academic year 1892-93, within five years
of th e appeara nce of the first student journal in the n ation. Publicat ion
was continu ed in 1906, after a 10-year susp ension , under the title the
llli11 ois Law R eview.
For a period beginning in 1924 editorship was shared with the law
schools of the U nivers ity of Chicago a nd the U niversity of Illinois. In
1932, Northwestern students resumed full control a nd the original name
was subseq uently restored.
A t the beginning of their second year students of highest scholastic
standing are chosen to write comme ntary on legal problems for publication a nd to carry on the research, editing, a nd related work of the R eview.
Selection is one of the highes t honors a nd greatest responsibilities the
Law School can bestow. The work of the Law R eview is so integra ted
with the instructional program of the School that participation is normally a requisite for election to the Order of the Coif. Because of their
r ich ed u cationa l experience a nd res ulting excell ent qualification for
49
�any field of the profession, Law Review editors are sought and preferred
after graduation by leading law firms, government, and private business.
The fact that the student body is not large means that at Northwestern
the opportunities for Law Review participation are somewhat broader
than in other schools.
Although Law Review students work hard, they take one clay off each
spring to play a softball game with the faculty and to hold a dinner
where the principal sport is caricaturing the foibles of their professors.
The Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science.Products of student scholarship also are published in the Journal of
Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science. The Journal, first in its
field, with a world-wide circulation, has been published continuously by
the School since 1910. The editor-in-chief is Claude R. Sowle, Associate
Professor of Law, Northwestern University. He is assisted by Gresham
M. Sykes, Professor of Sociology, Dartmouth University, who serves as
Criminology Editor, and a board of Associate Editors composed of legal
scholars and criminologists. The section on Police Science is under the
ed itorship of Mr. Ordway Hi lton , an examiner of questioned documents
in New York City, assisted by a board of Associate Editors in the fields of
criminalistics, police administration, and legal medicine. The Journal
is pub lished bi-monthly under the general supervision of Professor Freel
E. Inbau of the Law School faculty, the Managing Director.
Student comments and papers prepared in the seminars relating to
criminal law or in individual study are pub lished regularly in the
Journal. In combination with the Law Review, the Journal offers to
students in the Law School a dual opportunity for intensive experience
in legal scholarship and for contribution to eminent professional journals.
MOOT COURT COMPETITION
To provide continuing practice and instruction in the arts of appellate advocacy, the first-year course in Moot Court is supplemented by a
voluntary program conducted for advanced students in the School. The
program is supervised and administered by members of the faculty with
the ass istance of upperclassmen , and involves the preparation of appellate court briefs and the presentation of oral argument before panels of
judges, practicing attorneys, and faculty members. The cases typically
raise issues of current legal importance, more complex and challenging
than those assigned in the regular course. Winners of the Lowden-Wigmore Prize are chosen through competition, and the School's representatives for competing with other law schools in the National Moot Court
Competition are also chose n. The final argument is conducted before
the entire student body, customari ly with distinguished judges from the
federal bench.

�STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY:
THE JUNIOR BAR ASS0CIATION
Law students are only a few short steps removed from the practice of
law. The qualities of personal integrity and responsibility essential in
the profession are best fostered not by exhortation but by actual exercise
and experience. In the belief that the most effective way to develop
maturity and responsibility among the students is to vest responsibi1ity
in the students themselves, the Law School has conferred a large
measure of authority upon the students' professional organization, the
Junior Bar Association.
All students are members of the Association and through it work out
the problems of student government and School activities. Its declared
objects are to encourage and promote the highest standards of integrity
and industry, to the end that its members may be properly equipped to
enter the profession of the law. The officers and Board of Governors of
the Association are elected by the students themselves.
HONOR CODE
An important product of the Law School's philosophy of student responsibility is the Honor Code and the broad authority
granted to the students, through the Junior Bar Association, with respect
to its enforcement and implementation. The basic tenet of the Honor
Code is that the law student, like the lawyer, should be subject to unyielding standards of honorable conduct. In reliance upon the students'
collective sense of responsibility, Law School examinations are unmonitored and unsupervised by faculty, staff, or proctors. The Honor Code
imposes a strict obligation upon each student to report any apparent
infractions to the students constituting the Board of Governors of the
Association. After a full hearing, the Board has the duty to make findings
and to recommend appropriate disciplinary action to the faculty.
The Code covers not only the administration of examinations, but
also the submission of written papers and the conduct of a student generally in his law study and relations with the School. The student body
through its elected representatives in the Junior Bar Association further
has the authority to prescribe and enforce rules of conduct in and about
the Law School and to enforce the regulations governing the use of the
library. The intent is that habits of professional self-discipline should
be developed in the student, rather than imposed upon him b y outward
authority.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The student body bears important responsibilities as well in the supplemental educational programs of the School.
The Junior Bar Association traditionally sponsors a series of frequent
lectures, bringing outstanding lawyers, judges, and political figures to
51
�the Law School to address the stude nts on subjects of general interest,
and continuing the liberal education of the lawyer. Informal receptions,
known as coffee hours, are held frequently in Lowden Hall to afford the
student opportunities for social contact and casual conversation with
members of the faculty and distinguished visitors to the School.
A wide variety of activities is carried on under student responsibility,
through the Junior Bar Association, to serve the needs and interests of
fellow students. The Association participates in an orientation program
for new students, ass ists them with registration, and arranges for a reception a nd small advisory mee tings, all designed to welcome the beginner
a nd to ease the educational transition.
The Association operates a n exchange for the purchase and sale of
used casebooks and course materials, supplementing the facilities of the
Un iversity Bookstore in Abbott Hall and h elping students who must
eco nomize.
To preserve the memories and associations of Law School d ays, the
students write and publish the School's yearbook, The Wigmore. To
strengthen ties with former st udents and to inform the alumni of developments at the School, the students also publish the Law School Reporter,
a semi-annual magazine distributed to students a nd graduates.
In recognition of the Law School's place in the legal profesion at large,
the Northwestern Junior Bar Association is affiliated with the American Law Student Association, the national organization of men in training for the law, sponsored by the American Bar Association. Professional
responsibilities are also recognized in cooperative research projects undertaken from time to time by the Northwestern Junior Ba r Association and
the student Legal Research Staff in collaboration with the regular bar
associations. In working with committees of the local, state, and national
professional organizations, the students come to appreciate the bar's
broad public obligations and benefit from rewarding associations with
prominent lawyers. In sum, the varied range of opportunities afforded
to Law School students for service to their fellows , to the School, a nd to
the profession provides valuable training in the exercise of those responsibilities that distinguish the lawyer's calling as a profess ion.
RECREATION AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
The law student soon learns the truth of the old saying that "the law
is a jealous mistress." He will not be able to indulge extensively in
amusements or spend much time in social events. Nevertheless, no man
or woman can accomplish a maximum of work without a reasonable
amount of recreation.
Organized social ac tivities a t the Law School are sponsored by the
52
�(Above) Working cooperatively in student activit ies, prospective
lawyers become acquainted w ith the co llective concerns of the
profession . (Right) The annual Faculty-Law Review softba ll game
reveals the teacher in a different guise.
Junior Bar Association and by the several legal fraternities. In addition
to the coffee hours, the Association holds a dance for all students once
each semester.
Chapters of three national legal fraternities-Phi Alpha Delta, Phi
Delta Phi, and Tau Epsilon Rho-and one legal sorority-Kappa Beta Pi
- have been established at the Law School. Each student receives an
invitation to join a fraternity; none of these groups follows any discriminatory membership policy. Members do not live nor eat together and
lines are not sharply drawn. The fraternities do, however, arrange for a
number of occasions which have professional as well as recreationa l value,
They hold numerous luncheons during the course of the year with addresses by nationally and locally prominent lawyers, judges, and public
officials. And they sponsor frequent dances and informal parties.
A program of intramural athletics involving the legal fraternities and
other groups on the campus offers participation in organized sports, and
nearby beaches, golf courses, and other facilities are available for individual recreation. Tickets are offered at reduced rates for the University's intercollegiate athletic programs on the undergraduate campus in
Evanston.
Many opportunities for entertainment and cultural pursuits afforded
in a city like Chicago are close at hand.
STUDENT WIVES
A useful auxiliary of the Junior Bar Association is the organization
of the wives of Law School students. A substantial minority of the student body is married.
!\3
�At the social gatherings of the Law ·wives, the student's wife can visit
with faculty wives, discuss matters of common interest, and spend a
pleasant evening during her husband 's long hours in the library. To help
her to understand the work that demands so much of her husband's time
and attention, the law wife may enjoy an informal talk by one of the
faculty members on the vicissitudes of la,v study or a legal problem of
general interest. Occasionally professors have conducted abbreviated
versions of their Law School courses for the student wives, to give them
a first-hand view of the educational process in which their husbands are
so deeply involved.
STUDENT RESIDENCE
Living and working together, law students gain advantages that are
significant if not readily apparent. Casual conversation as well as earnest
discussion contributes to the development of the prospective lawyer's
powers and personality. The st imulation and discipline students give
one another have an impact that is directl y evident in the classroom.
The ancient ancestors of modern law schools, the English Inns of
Court, depended solely upon the influences of students' living, eating,
and arguing informally together to produce men of professional qualification. For the student who resides in Abbott H all, the Law School becomes the center of everyday life. The library a nd the classrooms are
accessible, the distractions of commuting are avoided, and the student
naturally and effortlessly concentrates his time and attention on preparing for the practice of law.
For these reasons, all law students except married students and those
whose homes are within easy commuting distance of the School are expected to live in Abbott Hall. It is designed to provide convenient and
attractive living quarters and to provide an atmosphere in which may be
developed all those qualities of personality which are so essential to a
lawyer, but which for the most part fall outside the sphere of formal
training.
The building, 18 stories high, overlooks Lake Michigan on Lake
Shore Drive from Huron to Superior Street. It is constructed of Indiana
limestone and conforms in architectural style to the classroom buildings
on the campus. The first two floors and the basement are given over to
common rooms for social and recreational purposes, the upper sixteen to
private accommodations. The first floor contains general offices and a
series of shops. On the second floor is a large student lounge, a fountaingrill, and two large dining rooms which offer cafeteria service. In addition there is a lounge and common living room on each of the upper
floors. Athletic facilities for bowling and ping-pong are available in the
basement.
54
��Frequent special events bring eminent
jurists, outstanding government officials ,
and other noted speakers to the School.
Floors are reserved for the students of the School of Law. There is
also space reserved for women law students. Double study-bedrooms are
available. Rooms are equipped with desks of modern design, dressers,
and beds with inner-spring mattresses. All rooms are provided with
chairs, draperies, and lamps. Each room has a double closet. (Trunks are
stored in the baggage room in the basement). Bed lin ens and blankets are
included in the furnishings, and 5½ day maid service is given.
The cost of room and board in Abbott Hall is reasonable, and is below
the rates charged for other desirable accommodations in the same part of
the city. The location of rooms is indicated by the floor plan, opposite.
The attractive residents' Dining Hall on the second floor serves excellent food and is operated on a daily cash basis. A large selection of foods
is offered at moderate prices, three meals per day averaging from $2.75
to $3.50.
56
�The average room rate for the academic year is $335. 00 for each occupant. Before a room is occupied, a contract for the academic year is
signed by the appli cant.
The Division of Student Finance issues and makes all adjustments on
the residence bills for Abbott Hall. Rental bills are issued for payments
on October 1, Janu ary 1, a nd April 1, during the academic year. Bills
are due upon presentation and are payable at the Cashier's Office in
Abbott Hall.
Applications, together with a $25.00 room deposit, shou ld be fil ed as
early as possible. For room applications, address the Ma nager, Abbott
Hall, 710 North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago 11.
For married students, there is a variety of apartments in the vicinity
of the Law School a nd within easy commutin g distance. For the convenience of stude n ts, a listing of available housing is maintained in
Abbott Hall.
STUDENT HEALTH SER VICE
Through the Student H ealth Service of the Univers ity, students of the
Law School are furnished medical care and treatment. T h e facilities of
the several hospitals associated with the U ni versity and situated on the
campus are available for confinement, and out-pa tient care and consultation are prov ided in the Med ical School
Students are enrolled with the Service at the time of registration, and
at that time complete the necessary forms, appear for a conference, and
receive detailed information about the plan. For a more complete description, the Stu.dent Health Service Information Bulletin is ava il able
upon request.

THE
ACADEMIC
PROGRAM
The deepest traditions of the Law School are rooted in scholarship
and educa tional excellence. For more than a century, the Law
School has been devoted to improvement and innova tion in legal education. Its graduates and facu lty have numbered among the great teachers
and scholars of their times, and, as deans and faculty members in other
centers of legal learning, have shared and extended this dedication. The
academic program of the School today reflects and preserves the strong
traditi on .
ADMISSION
Since its early years, the Law School has followed a policy of selective
admissio n to preserve its character as a cohesive academic community of
modest size and to assure continued educational standards of the highest
order. In consequen ce, the School is unable to accept m a ny applicants
who are capable of successfu l completion of legal studies and can qualify
for the practice of law.
Applicants are selected for admission upon a competitive basis of
demonstrated scholarship, intellectual capacity, and qualities of character
requisite to the profession. The School endeavors to admit only th ose
appli cants whose records indicate that they will successfully complete the
course of study.
58
�Application forms and information concerning admission requirements may be obtained by writing to the: Office of Admisions, Northwestern University School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago 11,
Illinois.
Students beginning the study of law may enter the School at the opening of the first semester, in September, or of the second semester, in
February.
Before enrollment, the student must have obtained a bachelor's degree
from an approved college or university. In rare instances, exceptions to
this requirement may be made for students who have completed at least
three years of study with outstanding academic records, who have
achieved high scores in the Law School Admission Test, who are believed
to possess the maturity desirable for the study of law, and who present
special circumstances justifying early entrance.
The completed application form may be submitted at any time during
the year preceding the expected date of entrance. Early application is
advisable. It is not necessary to wait until the transcripts, test score, and
recommendations can be supplied before filing the application. The
application fee is $10.00.
The application form must be supplemented by a transcript from
each college or university attended. Except in unusual cases, transcripts
should not be supplied until they include a record of three full academic
years. If the application is approved, the applicant will be asked at
registration to supply a final transcript certifying the award of a bachelors's degree, unless the transcripts originally submitted contain that
certification.
The application must also be supported by a report of the applicant's
score on the Law School Admission Test. This Law School joined with
a number of other schools in sponsoring the development of this test,
which is designed to measure the student's general aptitude for the study
of law. Information on how to arrange to take the test, administered
by the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, will be supplied with the admission forms. The test may be taken either before or
after the forms are filed, although an applicant for admission in September should ordinarily plan to register either for the test given in the fall
or the test given in the winter of the preceding academic year. The Educational Testing Service should be requested to report the applicant's
score directly to the School of Law.
An applicant is also asked to submit recommendations, on forms furnished by the School, from two college or university instructors. An
applicant need not appear for a personal interview unless requested by
the Committee on Admissions. Prospective students are invited and
encouraged, however, to visit the School.
59
�Applicat ion s are co nsidered and acted upon as soon as the supporting
information has been received. Determinations are made upon a balanced evaluarion of the applicant's college record and the Law School
Adm issio n Test score, suppleme nted by the requ ired recommendations
and other information bearing on his capacity and qualification for law
study. Each applicant is considered carefully and individually. The trend
of undergraduate achievement, performance in particular fields and
courses, and the demands and influence of other activities and personal
circumstan ces are weighed a nd taken into account. Every doubtful applica tion is thoroughly discussed a nd examin ed by a committee of faculty
members, which may seek further in format ion from the applicant, his
co llege or professors, or request the student to appear for an interview
to assist the committee in its deliberations.
An appli cant who is accepted for admiss ion as a member of the class
entering in September is required to make a deposit of $25.00 by April
15 of the year of entrance or within thirty days after notice of acceptance,
wh ich ever is later. An applicant accepted for admission as a member of
the class entering in February is required to make the deposit by the
15th of the preceding December or within thirty clays of the notice of
accepta n ce, whichever is later. Upon registration, the deposit is appl ied
toward the payment of tuition.
No applicant previously enrolled in another law school will be admitted if he is ineligible to cont inue study at that school.
TRANSFERS
The admission of students previously enrolled in other law schools
who wish to become candidates for the degrees of Juris Doctor or Bachelor of Laws depends upon the applicant's achievements in law study as
well as upon the factors which control the admission of beginning students. Generally stated, the standard requires a highly creditable Jaw
school record.
Transfer applicants should submit the application form with the
$10.00 application fee, transcripts from each college and university
attended, including the law school from which transfer is con templated,
and two recommendations from former instructors, at least one a law
school instructor. A statement of class standing sho uld also be subm itted.
Transfer applicants are not required to take the Law School Admission
Test unless requested. If an applicant has already taken the test, however, a score report must be furnished to complete the appli cation.
The granting of credit for courses completed in other schools and the
allowance of advanced standi ng rest within the discretion of the Dean of
the School. In no event will transfer credit be given for law school work
in schools which are not members of the Association of American Law
60
�Schools or for co urses in which the student received a grad e below C or
its equivale nt.
A stude nt enrolled in anoth er school may be admitted for the summer sess ion, for a single sem ester, or for specified courses , upon a certificate of good standing from the school in which h e is perman ently
enrolled.
PRE-LEGAL STUDY
A bachelor's degree in arts or scien ce is requ ired for admission to the
Law School, but no specific fie lds of m ajor study or particular courses are
prescribed . T he purpose of the requirement is to provide the prospective
lawyer with a sound liberal educa tion for the disch arge of his broader
professio nal respon sibilities as well as to provide a foundation for law
school training. Since the reach of th e law's con cerns may b e as wide as
th e range of human behav ior, n o particular course of undergradu ate
study co nfers a spec ial adva ntage in th e law.
College curricu la vary, the co ntent of courses bearing the sam e title
may b e dissimi lar, a nd teaching a ttitudes a nd emphases differ. Accordingly sugges tion s must be ge nera l. Courses in su ch fields as history, econom ics, anthropology, sociology, government, and poltical science may
h elp the stude nt to unders ta nd the structure of society and the problems
of social orderin g with which the law is co ncerned. Studies in philosophy
a nd li terature may impart a fami liarity with the traditions of thought
that h ave influenced legal developments. T h e examination of human
behavior in courses in psychology a nd its a nalysis through statist ical
method m ay also prove worthwhile.
In deve loping the capacities a nd skills of the lawyer, the college stu d ent sh ould pursue studies tha t wi ll enha nce his power to express himse lf ·with clarity a nd force. English, language courses, a nd public speaking can be recommended, but the capacities may b e developed as well in
oth er courses in which written work of high quali ty is demanded. For
th e systematic ordering of abstractions a nd ideas, the physical, natural,
a nd mathematical sciences, in addition to logic, may be suggested.
Apart from subject matter, the student preparing for the study of law
should tak e courses of sufficient d ifficulty to try his capacities to the
utmost, to assis t in the development of the r igorous intellectu al discipline
essen tia l to su ccess in law school. He would be well advised, in addition,
to pursu e his studies far enough in some definite field to a ttain a m astery
of the subject, to gain the experien ce of deep a nd thorough understanding. The typical student is more likely to extend himself and thereby to
increase his cap aci ties for law study if he follows the bent of his own
inter ests and tastes.
It is perhaps advisable, however, for the prospective law student to
61
�Robert R. McCormick Ha ll , dedicated in
1960 through alumni gifts , completes
the La w School quadrangle .
avoid undergradu ate courses in law, designed for men preparing for
other callings and duplicating law school work. Ordinarily, the time and
effort will be better spent in studies in other fields. It shou ld be noted
that a student wi ll be required to take a one-hour course in accounting
in the second year of Law School unless he has received college credit for
three semester-hours, or its equivalent, in the field.
In general, the undergraduate college student is best advised not to try
to prepare particu la rly and narrowly for his law school st udies, but to
prepare for his life as a lawyer by obtaining the best available general
education. He wi ll find that what is best for law school is also the best
in liberal education-a course of study that develops in the student the
capacity to understand, to think for himself, and to express himself
effectively.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
The cost of a year of law study varies with the needs, habits, a nd circumstan ces of the stude nt. As a base from which individual estimates may be drawn,
the sum of $2400 approximates the total expense for the academic year of the
average unmarried student r esiding in Abbott Hall , the L aw Schol dormitory.
Of this total, slightly more than $ 1100 is required for tuition, fees, books and
supplies. The remainder represents the typical expenditure for room, board,
a nd personal n eeds.
TUITION
The student's total invest ment in his legal edu cation, whi le large in absolute
terms, is insubstanti al in co mparison with its total re turns in the d ecades of his
62
�professio nal li[e. Short-term eco nomies often prove wasteful in the lo ng run.
In the interests o f its stude nts, th e L aw School h as made every effort to hold
down the costs, but in the sam e interests it has refused to sacrifice any of the
eleme nts of a legal educat ion of the highest quality. The cost of each student's
educa tion is only partly covered by his tuition payments. A substantial portion
is paid from income from endowments and from annual gifts of alumni and
fr ie nds of Northwestern .

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
Tuition and fees are paid by semesters, rather than by the full academic year.
Payments are clu e in the first few weeks after the commencement of the term
upon th e elate specified in the statement se nt to each student after r egistration.
The Cashier's Office, conveniently located on the first fl oor of Abbott H all,
receives th ese paym ents.
The Division of Student Finance, on the first floor of Abbott Hall , iss ues
the statements a nd makes all adjustments. All charges must be p a id , in any
event, before the student can be p ermitted to ta ke examin a tions at the close of
th e term, and no credit can be given nor a diplom a or transcr ipt issued until all
current d ebts are paid.
WITHDRAWAL AND REFUNDS
Official withdrawal forms are ava ilable at th e Genera l Office of the School of
Law. Students who withdraw before the encl of th e first one-eighth of the term

SCHOLARSHIPS, GRANTS, AND
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
If a student h as the ability and motiva tion necessary for the study of
law, the School is committed to providing all possibl e assistance so
th a t h e can r each his educa tion al goals. T hrough scholarships, grants,
loa ns, and a limited amount of p art-time work, m any students are able to
complete their law studies a t orthwes tern with a minimum of initial
savings or outside finan cial aid.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS
Approxima tely one third of the School's entering students receive
financi al assistan ce in the form of scholarships or gr ants. T h e amounts
of the awards var y from a portion of tuition to full tuition plu s a stipend
for subsisten ce. Ordinarily a n award of fin a ncial assistan ce to a first-year
student is r enewed as a m a tter of course for hi s second and third year
if h e m ainta in s a commendable class sta nding.
65
�Generous physical facilities, and a student body of limited size, produce an
atmosphere conducive to effective study.
All or part of an award may be made subject to an obligation of
repayment after graduation. In these cases, repayment is ordinarily
arranged on an installment basis during the first few years following
graduation. Interest does not accrue until the encl of the first year after
graduation, and thereafter the rate is low.
Awards of financial assistance are m ade upon the basis of academic
promise and need. Each application is individually considered by a com mittee of faculty members and each award is determined by an individu al
ap praisal of the student's qualifications for law study and monetary
needs. For students of exceptional ability who h ave adequ ate resources
for law study, a limi tecl number of honorary scholarships are awarded
a nnu ally in recognition of pre-legal achievement. These special scholarships, described below, carry only a nominal fina ncial award, so that
available funds may be devoted to the assistance of students who otherwise would be unable to study law.
Application forms for scholarships and gra nts may be obtained by
writing to the Office of Admissions of the Law School. Special appli cation
forms are required for the Clarion DeWitt Hardy Scholarships, described
below.
An application for financial assista nce need not accompany the appli cation for adm ission, but shou ld be submitted early to ass ure consideration before funds are committed.
66
�The available funds are:
Clarion DeWitt H ardy Scholarships in Law. H ardy Scholarships providi ng for up to full tuition, plus up to $700 per year in additional funds
when needed for expenses, are available for three students in each enterin g class. The amount is sufficient, with average summer earnings, to enable a student to meet all typical costs of a year of law study. The schola rships are renewed each year for scholars who m aintain a good record
a nd meet the other sta ndards of the program. The scholarships are in
honor of the late Professor Clarion DeWitt Hardy of the School of Speech,
a nd were es tablished by Owen L. Coon, an alumnus who died in 1948,

purpose of the scholarships is to assist able students whose desire to e nter
the legal profession includes the object ive of devoting a p art of their
lives to public service. Requirements, in addition to expressed interest

The scholarships impart in full the recognition and honor of scholarship status, but confer only a nominal financial award.
LOANS
In addition to the financial assistance awarded at the beginning of
the academic year in the form of repayable grants, loan funds are available during the course of the year to students enrolled in the School.
Loans are without interest until one year after graduation; thereafter,
interest accrues at the rate of 2½ or 3 per cent, depending upon the
source of funds. These funds are devoted primarily to the needs of students who encounter an unexpected change of financial circumstance.
EXAMINATIONS AND GRADES
Regular examinations are given in all formal courses. In accordance
with the prevailing practice in legal education, a single final examination is usually given, without periodic or mid-term tests, to permit comprehensive treatment of the subject matter and to measure the student's
capacity to master and to work with a substantial body of material. Although examinations provide the most important source for determining
the student's relative achievement, consideration may also be given to
the written work done in connection with a course and the preparation
of assignments for recitation as reflected in classroom discussion. In
seminar courses, no examinations are ordinarily given and grades are
based upon the products of individual research and participation in the
seminar discussions.
Students who are eligible but who, for good reason, are unable to
take an examination may, with the permission of the Dean, take the next
regularly scheduled examination in the course.
The grading system is numerical. A grade of 85 or above represents
work of the highest distinction. Grades of 68 and above indicate various
degrees of satisfactory work. Credit is given for courses in which the
student receives a grade from 60 through 67, but such grades indicate
unsatisfactory work. No credit is given for a course in which a grade of
less than 60 is received.
A student who, at the encl of any term after his first term in School,
has failed to maintain an average of 68 to that elate is ineligible for
further registration in the School. A student who fails to attain an
average grade of 68 over his entire course is ineligible for a degree.
Grades received at other schools are not considered in determining the
average grade.
70
�At the option of the instructor, grades in courses and semmars in
which no examination is given may ·be recorded simply as P (Pass) or
F (Failure).
HONORS AND PRIZES
Since its beginnings, the Law School has been dedicated to the encouragement and recognition of legal scholarship. In 1907, the Order of
the Coif was founded at Northwestern, and it has since become the recognized national honor society in legal education with chapters, numbering more than 45, established in most of the leading law schools.
The tradition of original and enduring scholarship and the devotion
to excellence manifested in the founding of the Order of the Coif permeate the activities of the School. Exemplifying the Law School's emphasis
on scholarship are the many honors and awards recognizing superior
accomplishment.

73
�The degree of Juris Doctor is conferred upon students who have
earned a bachelor's degree from an approved college or university before
beginning law study and who have satisfactorily completed courses carrying 90 semester-hours of credit in the School of Law, including the required courses described on page 28. The work must be pursued
during a residence period of three academic years or the equivalent. The
last year must be in residence at Northwestern University School of Law,
and in the case of students transferring from another law school, a minimum of thirty semester-hours of credit must be earned in this School.
When the faculty believes that the candidate's record of scholarship
merits special recognition, the degree may be awarded "With Distinction"
or "With Highest Distinction."
Students admitted under exceptional circumstances with three years of
college work receive the degree of Bachelor of L aws upon the satisfactory
completion of the same course of study required for the degree of Juris
Doctor. Such students who have completed three years of undergraduate
work in the College of Liberal Arts of Northwestern University may
receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts in accordance with the requirements of the College (see the University Register for particulars), upon
the further satisfactory completion of 27 semester-hours of the first-year
courses in the School of Law, or upon the complet ion of such equivalent
courses in the School of Law as may be approved by the faculties of the
School of Law and the College of Liberal Arts. Other students admitted
upon the basis of three years of college study may be awarded the degree
of Bachelor of Science in Law upon the satisfactory completion of the
first year of work in the School of Law with a grade average of not less
than 68.
Degrees conferred upon students who have already obtained their
first degrees in law are described in the information concerning Graduate
Study, below.
GRADUATE STUDY IN LAW
The graduate program of the Law School has several objectives. One
purpose is to offer to recent law graduates who have demonstrated
superior proficiency in the study of law, as well as to active practitioners,
an opportunity not only to broaden their legal knowledge but also to
study and engage in research in particular fields of interest. The School
also desires to make its facilities available to law teachers, and prospective law teachers, interested in advanced study and original research and
writing under faculty guidance. In addition, the program is intended to
provide outstanding graduates of foreign law schools with an oppor74
�tunity to expand their knowledge of American legal processes and to
engage in comparative legal research.
Inquiries concerni ng gradu ate study should be addressed to the Office
of Admiss ions of the Law School. No application fee is required of
fore ign applicants for admission to graduate study.
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY AND TO CANDIDACY
FOR ADVANCED DEGREES
The admission of students who have been awarded a first degree in
law to graduate study or to candidacy for the degree of Master of Laws or
Doctor of Juridical Science are matters which rest within the discretion of
the Graduate Committee.
Although foreign graduate students whose native language is not
English are eligible for admission as graduate students, they normally
are not admitted as candidates for a degree until they have completed
one semester's work as graduate students and have demonstrated during
that time their capacity to complete successfu lly the degree requirements.
Experience indicates that foreign students whose n ative language is
not English have great difficulty in meeting the requirements unless they
have a good command of written and spoken E nglish.
DEGREES
Two graduate degrees are gran ted: the degree of Master of Laws
(LL.M.) and the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.).
Master of Laws (LL.NI.). The degree of Master of Laws will be conferred upon stude nts who have obtained a first degree in law from this
University or another having equivalent requirements; in unusual cases,
this requirement may be waived by a vote of the facul ty. Also such students must fulfill the following requirements :
(a) The completion of one academic year of residence in this School,
during which time credit must be obtained for not less than 10 semesterhours in courses or seminars not previously counted toward the first
degree in law. During their year of residence, graduate students wi ll be
required to maintain a superior scholarship record. Each graduate student's course program is individually planned in light of the student's
cho ice of a thesis topic. Also, students who h ave not previously taken
Jurisprudence and Comparative Law will be required to enroll in these
seminars . To the extent necessary to estab lish a background for their
research, the Graduate Committee may, in i t discretion, require graduate students to take course and seminar work in addition to the minimum prescribed above.
(b) The completion of a thorough study of some approved legal topic
75
�and the presentation of a paper embodying its results. The candidate's
thesis must be of such character as to be suitable for publication in the
Northwestern University Law R eview or Th e Journal of Criminal Law,
Criminology and Police Science.
(c) The passing of an examination to be prescribed by the faculty.
Doctor of Juridical Science (S .].D.). The degree of Doctor of Juridical Science will be conferred upon students who have obtained the
degree of Juris Doctor from this or some other university or college having equivalent requirements for that degree, or have obtained the degree
of Bachelor of Laws from another university or college whose requirements for that degree are equivalent to those prescribed by this School
for the degree of Juris Doctor, and who have fulfilled the following
requirements:
(a) The completion of one academic year of residence at this School.
The time required for the completion of a candidate's work, however,
will normally run far beyond the period of residence required.
(b) The completion of a study to be approved by the faculty or its
designated committee. This study shall be one involving original research
and must be completed in such manner, both as to subject matter and
literary form, as to be, in the opinion of the faculty, a significant and
scholarly contribution to legal science.
(c) The completion of such other work, if any, as may be directed by
the Dean in the particular case.
(d) The passing of an examination to be prescribed by the faculty.
It is the policy of the faculty to restrict this degree to candidates who
have had substantial experience either in practicing or teaching law and
who, through their published writings, have evidenced their capacity for
advanced graduate work.
Candidates for this degree are afforded every facility for both library
and field research, and a t some time during their residence they are given
the opportunity to instruct students along the line of their research. They
are given the rank of graduate fellow and are accorded many of the
privileges of members of the faculty.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
Full information concerning tuition and fees for graduate study
appears on page 63 of the Bulletin.
The expenses of an unmarried student for the academic year, including books, board and room, and incidentals (but excluding tuition and
fees) should approximate $1,300 to $ 1,400.
Accommodations for unmarried graduate students are available on
the University's Chicago campus.
The Law School has no funds available for travel expenses of grad76
�uate students, and it is necessary for those accepted for graduate study
to make their own arrangements through the Fulbright program or
otherwise.
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS
FELLOWSHIPS IN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES
In
1957 the Ford Foundation made a grant to the Law School for expansion
of its program in International Legal Studies. The sum of $6,000 a year
is specifically made available for graduate fellowships for foreign lawyers
and students. Applicants interested in pursuing international legal
studies as their major interest are given preference in the awarding of
these Ford Fellowships.
The Law School has long been interested in international law and
related subjects. The late Dean Wigmore inaugurated this interest and
laid the foundation for a substantial collection of international and
foreign law materials available in the Law Library. For more than 10
years the School has offered a basic introductory course in International
Law. The school has also offered seminars in International Organization,
Comparative Law, Admiralty, and Civil Liberties on a comparative basis.
In furtherance of the grant, the School h as added a course in Family Law
with emphasis on comparative materials, a seminar in International Business Transactions, and a seminar on European Economic Organizations.
The James Nelson Raymond Fellowship is awarded on a competitive
basis to applicants, domestic or foreign, interested in any field of legal
study, including International Legal Studies.
The amount of these fellowships is three thousand dollars ($3,000).
From these amounts, tuition and fees are deducted. The amount of the
fellowship award, after these deductions, is paid in nine installments,
the first being available on October 1.
In addition, the General Electric Foundation has made a grant of
$5,000 for research in the field of International Law. A fellowship will
be conferred for this purpose.
FELLOWSHIPS IN CRIMINAL LAW
A grant in 1958 to the Law
School by the Ford Foundation contains provisions for a program of
graduate study in criminal law. The grant provides that six fellowships
may be awarded annually. Two of these fellowships are for graduates of
foreign law schools. Generally, persons receiving these fellowships are
candidates for the degree of Master of Laws.
A primary aim of this graduate program is the improvement of
criminal justice through the development and training of outstanding
persons interested in devoting their talents primarily to teaching and
77
�writing in the field of criminal law and administration. The program is
also open to persons interested in additional study as preparation for or
in furtherance of careers in other areas of the administration of criminal justice.
In selecting the fellows, considerable weight is given to the applicant's
scholastic record and a ttainments both in law school and in college. Consideration also is given to the applicant's interest in the field of criminal
law and his plans for the future with respect to that interest. Although
actual experience in some area of the administration of criminal justice
is not required for admission to the program, such experience is, of
course, helpful in demonstrating the applicant's genuine interest in
the field.
The amount of each American fellowship is $4,000; the foreign fellowships provide a stipend of $3, 000. From these amounts, tuition and fees
are deducted. The amount of the fellowship award, after these deductions, is paid in nine installments, the first being available on October 1.
GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS
Additional information concerning the fellowship programs described
above, including application requirements, filing deadlines, and award
dates, may be obtained by writing to the Office of Admissions of the
Law School.
Normally, fellowships are not awarded to foreign students who already
have spent a year in this country under another scholarship grant. Also,
fellowships are granted for one year only.
None of the graduate fellowships described above contains provisions
for travel expenses. Students must make their own travel arrangements.
Successful fellowship applicants should also bring sufficient funds for
personal expenses from the time of arrival until October 1.
TEACHING ASSOCIATES
Four Teaching Associates are appointed annually to assist in the
educational program of the School. Each one devotes about half of his
time to working with and advising students chiefly in connection with
written work. The b alance of his time is available at the option of each
associate for research and class work toward a graduate degree or for
work on various projects related to governmental and civic affairs in close
cooperation with members of the faculty.
PLACEMENT
At graduation the Northwestern law student joins the century-long
procession of Law School alumni. A wide range of choice is open. To
provide its graduates with advice, guidance, and a broad selection of
78
�opportumt1es for their legal careers, the Law School maintains a Placement Office under faculty direction.
Through general announcements to the profession and particular
inquiries, the Placement Office gathers information on professional opportunities and openings. The Alumni Association of the Law School,
through its Committee on Placement, assists in the program by obtaining
information from the alumni of the School and other practicing attorneys concerning available positions. The Placement Office compiles a
complete listing of these opportunities, maintains files for the use of prospective graduates, and posts announcements of new openings to keep
the students' information current.
It has been repeated in each generation that the bar is overcrowded.
But the demand for well-trained able young lawyers has not diminished,
and the rising level of starting salaries gives evidence of the professional
need. Each year, the Placement Office receives inquiries and requests
from law firms, corporations, and government agencies for many times the
number of available graduates.
Naturally, most of the Law School's alumni are engaged in the private
practice of law. Some have chosen to remain in Chicago, while others
have settled in cities and towns throughout the United States. In large
firms and in individual practice, Northwestern graduates rank as leaders
of the bar in nearly every state in the nation and in several foreign countries. In service to their profession as well as their clients, they have occupied the presidencies of the American, state, and local bar associations.
Not all alumni elect the rewards of private practice. Furthering a
strong tradition of public service, a number of men in each graduating
class accept positions with government, at the national, state, or local
level. Working with prosecuting and investigating agencies, on government boards and commissions, and on the staffs of government departments, these men are often vested with major responsibilities and acquire
wide experience early in their professional lives. After a period of
government service, many enter private practice, where their experience
in government is of great value. Others make public service a career and
attain high public office, elective or appointive.
The roster of Law School alumni includes governors and United
States Senators, cabinet members, department heads, and diplomats;
mayors, attorneys-general, and prosecutors; legislators and government
advisors.
The strength of the Northwestern tradition of public service is illustrated by a striking statistic: In more than half the presidential campaigns of the past 65 years a Law School alumnus has been either the
candidate or a strong contender for the nomination of one of the two
major parties.

�In the judiciary, Northwestern men have served with distinction on
the benches of the highest courts, both federal and state. For the topranking students, there are opportunities for clerkships with justices and
judges of the federal and state courts.
Openings in the field of law teaching are not numerous, and the
financial rewards are not great. Through the years, Northwestern, for
its size, has contributed more than its share of the nation's law teachers.
Its graduates have joined the faculties of nearly all the major law schools
in the United States, and many Northwestern men have served as cleans,
university presidents, and leaders in other branches of education.
An expanding field of opportunity, beyond the limits of tradition al
practice, is offered the Law School graduate interested in business, industry, and finance. In increasing recognition of the values of legal training,
corporations, banks, and companies in a wide range of enterprise have
come to seek L aw School graduates not only for their legal staffs but for
executive positions as well. Attractive starting salaries and opportunities
for advancement in management have combined to draw a substantial
number of graduates of the Law School. Alumni have risen to principal
executive posts in many of the nation's largest corporations in such fields
as transportation, oil, retailing, insurance, finance, public utilities, and
manufacturing.
From the array of professional opportunities open to him, the graduating student must choose for himself. It is the function of the Law
School Placement Office to aid him in exploring the possibilities and to
arrange the necessary contacts.
Each year a large number of law firms from major cities throughout
the United States send partners to the Law School to interview advanced
students. Government agencies, corporations, and banks also send representatives to the School for interviews. In addition to the hundreds of
personal interviews conducted annually at the Law School, the Placement
Office arranges for interviews of students in large numbers at law offices,
government agencies, and corporate headquarters.
A biographical summary is prepared and duplica ted for each prospective graduate seeking a position, and appropriate letters of introduction
and recommendation are furnished.
Beyond its service to current graduates, the Law School Placement
Office also handles the temporary placement of students with law firms
and government agencies for summer vacation periods, in Chicago and
elsewhere, typically between the student's second and third years, and
the placement of alumni of earlier years who are returning from military
service or are seeking a change of position.

�In this century , four distinguished scholars
and educators have led Northwestern 's
School of Law. Dean John Ritchie assumed
the post in 1957.
Informal conference s with faculty members
complement regular course work.
�THE LAW ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Over the years the Law School has enjoyed the loyal support of its
alumni. Commemorating the Law School's centennial, they contributed
substantially to the construction of Robert R . McCormick Hall and the
Owen L. Coon Library, and their generous annual gifts to the Law
Alumni Fund provide scholarships and significant support for the general
program of the School.
Many alumni assist directly in the educational program. A number
serve as judges both in the Moot Court program and in the voluntary
appellate advocacy competition. In addition, alumni are frequently asked
to draw upon their practical experience and special knowledge in particular fields of law by participating in course work or addressing student
groups. They render invaluable assistance in connection with the placement program.
Each year alumni reunions are held during the meetings of the American Bar Association and various state bar associations. An alumni dinner
is held annually in Chicago with a prominent guest speaker.

��"Where there is arbitrary power, there

Law Study
at
Northwestern
The first law school in its state and region and among the oldest in
the nation, Northwestern enjoys a rich heritage. For more than a century
the School of Law has been dedicated to the education of men for all
branches of endeavor in the law under the highest standards of academic
and professional excellence. This dedication marks the character of the
Law School today.
Long identified with progressive movements in legal education, the
Law School has always sought to prepare students for the broad challenge
of the future. To this end, the program of instruction is designed to
foster an understanding of the principles that guide growth and change
in the law.
Early in its history the Law School adopted a policy of limited
enrollment to promote educational quality. Today Northwestern remains
a law school of medium size, small in comparison with others of national
standing, with less than 500 students seeking their first degree in law.
A faculty of substantial size permits a close working relationship between
student and teacher, fostering professional training of the highest order
and the development of each student's unique capabilities.
11
�". . . these noble buildings, designed for
one of the noblest uses to which any
building can be put-the teaching of law."
-Sir William Searle Holdsworth,
at the dedication of the
Law School buildings, June 16, 1927.
The School
Unlike the physical sciences, legal learning requires no elaborate
apparatus. For the serious student, however, a stimulating and congenial environment contributes to the educational process. Professional
training of the highest order requires more than a comprehensive library and classrooms designed for effective teaching. There must be
places for reflection and concentration. There must be arrangements
conducive to informal interchange of thought and opinion between
student and student and between student and teacher. The atmosphere
should imbue the student of law with an appreciation for the ancient
traditions of the bar and for the professional heritage he will share.
LOCATION OF THE CAMPUSES
The Law School is situated on the shore of Lake Michigan near the
center of Chicago. To the south, along the lake front, lie Grant Park,
a series of yacht basins, recreational facilities, museums of art, science,
and natural history, a planetarium, and an aquarium. To the north extends the Gold Coast, an area of residential apartments separated from
the lake by a continuous series of parks, beaches, golf courses, and boating facilities. Nearby, to the west, is one of the city's centers of art and
entertainment. A half-mile to the southwest is the Loop, the central
business and shopping area of Chicago and the legal and financial center
of the region. Here, convenient for student visits, are located the offices of
federal, state, and municipal government, including trial and appellate
courts of both the state and federal governments, ranging from the local
small claims courts to the United States Court of Appeals.
The Law School constitutes part of the self-contained professional
campus of Northwestern University. Surrounding the Law School are
the separate buildings of the Graduate School of Management and the
Medical and Dental Schools. Also on the campus are Thorne Hall, an

auditorium available for major convocations and ceremonies, Abbott
Hall, the eighteen floor student residence for the men and women enrolled in these graduate schools, and hospitals which are members of the
Northwestern University-McGaw Medical Center.
Living and studying on a self-sufficient graduate campus, the law
student remains free from the distractions of undergraduate life. The
original campus of the University, where the main body of about 6,500
undergraduate students and 3,000 graduate students are enrolled, is
twelve miles north in suburban Evanston.
The Evanston campus, available and accessible to Law School students
for cultural activities, athletic events, and interdisciplinary seminars and
contacts, is the focus of the First Plan for the Seventies, the University's
current $180 million program of improvement. The First Plan is the
initial phase of a long-range program to maintain the University as a
major center of teaching, scholarship, and research. The second phase
will be based on the report of a faculty committee delineating the
University's needs beyond 1971 for both the Evanston and Chicago
campuses.
The $12 million Northwestern University Library, key academic
facility of the First Plan, opened in J anuary 1970. Other new facilities
13
�already in use or in process of construction include the
Astronomical Research Center, Rebecca Crown Center, the
Biological Sciences Research Building, and ten acres of
which will be the site of the Norris University Center

LAW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The Law School itself consists of a complex of buildings arranged to
form a quadrangle occupying the block between Chicago Avenue and
Superior Street west of Lake Shore Drive. The original buildings, Levy
Mayer Hall and the Elbert H. Gary Library, were completed in 1926.
Robert R . McCormick Hall and the Owen L. Coon Library were completed in 1960. The quadrangle completely encloses a garden.
In interior design and ornament, the buildings of the School are rich
in the lore of the law. About 2,500 portraits, engravings, etchings, and
photographs,
by the late Dean John H . Wigmore in the United
States, England, and on the Continent, are hung about the School to
illustrate the men and events of the law throughout history and throughout the world.
14
�CLASSROOMS
The Law School contains seven major classrooms. These generous
facilities make it possible to schedule a number of classes at the same
time. Most classes, including all those in the first year, are divided into
sections. As a consequence, the number of students attending a class
seldom exceeds eighty-five and is often much smaller. Such classes, small
by general law school standards, encourage responsible participation by
each student in the probing, analytical discussion that is the mark of
legal education at Northwestern. Lincoln Hall, the largest of the classrooms, was modeled after the British House of Commons in dimensions
and seating arrangement.
In addition to the major classrooms, the School has four seminar
rooms scaled and furnished to provide comfortable and congenial surroundings for smaller study groups. The seminars of the second and
third years meet here, numbering typically from ten to twenty students,
seated informally around a table with one or more faculty members for
a detailed analysis of problem areas lying at the frontiers of legal
development. In such study, the student necessarily bears a large measure
of responsibility for giving direction and substance to the discussion.
For practice and instruction in the arts of advocacy, the School has
a fully equipped modern courtroom. Complete with witness stand, jury
box, counsel tables, and seating for spectators, it accommodates not only
mock appeals but full-scale practice trials.
15
�LIBRARY
The indispensable instruments of the lawyer's calling are books, and
a comprehensive and well arranged library is essential to effective training for the profession. The library with its associated research facilities
is the heart of the Law School.
The Northwestern Law School Library consists of two buildings, integrated physically and administered as a unit, the Elbert H. Gary Library
and the Owen L. Coon Library. In combination, the library occupies a
full side of the Law School quadrangle extending from Chicago Avenue
to Superior Street and includes four floors of working area. The Elbert
H. Gary Library, part of the original Law School buildings, is named
for the donor of the building who also established the Gary Fund, which
provided for the acquisition of substantial parts of the original collection
and also provides in part for the current purchase of books. The Owen
L. Coon Library, built in 1960, is named in recognition of a substantial
gift from the Owen L. Coon Foundation.
With about 280,000 volumes, Northwestern has one of the largest
law school libraries in the Western Hemisphere. More important than
size, however, is the utility of the collection. The main reading room of
the library occupies the highest floor of the building and is divided by
shelved partitions into dozens of secluded but well-lighted alcoves fitted
with large working tables and chairs to provide convenient accommodations close by the books. The arrangement is repeated on the lower
floors, with the addition of a number of individual carrels for sustained
and concentrated research. Included on a lower level are glass-walled
typing areas with individual soundproof carrels open to any student to
type a research paper or to reorganize his course notes.
The library is operated with an open-stack policy to bring readers
and books together without unnecessary formalities. The student is free
to browse and to search at will through the collection, and he may call
upon either the expert full-time staff of sixteen or the eighteen assistants
if he is in need of guidance, aid, or suggestions. The library is open
daily throughout the year and in the evenings as well whenever the
School is in session. To provide for the heavy demands of faculty research, a separate working collection is maintained in the Faculty
Library.
The course of instruction has been designed not only to provide
basic instruction in the use of legal materials but to encourage full use
of the library's large resources and to afford every student extensive
opportunity for independent scholarly research.
The Law School Library collection includes substantially all the reported decisions of the courts of the United States, its separate states and
territories, Great Britain and the Commonwealth, together with their
16
�statutes and session laws and subsidiary publications-digests, encyclopedias, annotated cases, textbooks, periodicals, bibliographies-necessary
to form a complete working collection for every legal system in the
English language. A well selected comprehensive collection of United
States government documents is maintained for the teaching program and
for the use of the legal profession generally. A complete collection of
documents is available at the University Library on the Evanston campus,
which is a designated depository library. This Anglo-American collection
is supplemented by a selection of works in the fields of history, economics,
government, and the other social and behavioral sciences. The library
also receives every current legal periodical of general interest printed in
the English language.
More than one-third of the total collection is made up of works in the
fields of foreign and international law. The comprehensive materials in
foreign law include the codes, treatises, decisions, and journals of all
major European countries and Japan, and good working collections in
Latin-American, law. At an early date the library began to build a complete collection in the law of nations, going beyond the domestic laws
of the separate countries to emphasize the rules of law controlling their
relations with each other. This large collection includes the documents
of the international organizations, the international courts, treaty series
and official diplomatic documents, treatises and monographs and periodicals from all parts of the world. The collection permits original and useful work to be carried on in the field of public international law.
Open stacks and ample working space make the library a
comfortable and convenient place in which to study.
�Holdings in other specialized fields include a comprehensive collection of treatises, periodicals and documents in criminal law and its
administration, and a special collection of materials in aeronautics, including aviation law, commerce, and other works in the field exclusive
of technical engineering publications. In addition, the library includes
outstanding collections of medieval law, jurisprudence, legal history,
comparative law, and valuable resources in Roman law. Especially
notable are the Williams Collection of Legal Instruments dating from
A.D. 1300 to 1700, which comprises more than five hundred original
manuscript instruments executed in connection with landed estates, and
the George W. Shaw Collection of Early European Law, established in
1949 by Joseph L. Shaw (LL.B., 1903).
The Law School Library is independent in administration and organization, but its comprehensive resources are supplemented in specialized
areas through inter-library loans and other cooperative arrangements
with the general University Library, departmental libraries, and the
major public, educational, and legal collections in the region.
A special feature of the library is its distinguished rare book collection, housed in the handsome Hardy Scholars Treasure Room adjoining
the main reading room. These early volumes, numbering some 2,500,
have been acquired through the years and represent a variety of fields.
18
�Many are first editions of the classics of the law, including a number of
manuscripts and incunabula (books printed before 1500). A number
are either unique or the only copies in the Western Hemisphere. The
value of these books is not primarily antiquarian, however. They have
been gathered and selected because they are indispensable for effective
legal research in areas that may be vital both to scholars and practitioners.
Although the reserve facilities of the library have been constructed
with foresight to accommodate an eventual collection twice the size of
the current holdings, provision has also been made for the use of the
materials of legal research of the future. A section of the library is fully
fitted with the basic equipment for use of microfilm and microcards,
designed to replace conventional books and to ameliorate their problems
of bulk and deterioration.
As the practitioner of a learned profession, the lawyer is more than
a craftsman. To encourage a wide-ranging interest among the students,
a section of the main reading room has been set aside for casual reading
in fields of current or general significance. Comfortably furnished, the
browsing area offers current periodicals and a broad selection of biographical and miscellaneous works.
LIBRARY FUNDS
In addition to a general University appropnat10n, the Law School
Library is supported by a number of special endowments.
The major endowment funds for the Library are the Gary Endowment Fund, established in 1925 by Elbert H . Gary (LL.B., 1867), then
Chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, and the Norris E.
Crull Endowment Fund, established in 1966 in memory of Norris E.
Crull (LL.B., 1909).
In 1947, under the auspices of the Law Alumni Association, the John
Henry Wigmore Fund was established. Barnet Hodes (LL.B., 1921)
in 1960 established the Barnet Hodes Fund for the creation and
maintenance of a collection on local government. In 1967, Joseph Rosenberg (LL.B., 1910) and Mrs. Rosenberg established the Judge Hugo
M. Friend Memorial Fund, and the Class of 1965 established the Herbert
Dacks Memorial Fund in memory of their classmate, Herbert Dacks.
The Philip A. Shapiro Endowment Fund was established in 1968 in
memory of Judge Philip A. Shapiro EgKaKI
1932) of the Circuit Court of
Cook County, and Walter H. Moses established the Adolph Moses Endowment Fund.
For a number of years Paul Cutler EgKaKI
1931) annually has provided
funds to enrich the collection in fields such as biography, history, political
science and literature for the Cutler Browsing
K
19
�In 1969, the Smart Family Foundation made a substantial grant for
the establishment of a collection on urban affairs.
OTHER SCHOOL FACILITIES
Although hours in the classroom and the library predominate both
for students and for faculty, there must be provision for both the informal give-and-take discussion in which the student lawyer hones his
skill in analysis and expression, and for moments of relaxation. Lowden
Hall, named for the first of the School's alumni to serve as governor of
Illinois, is the principal School lounge and is rich with reminders of the
history of law and the Law School. Here coffee and sweet rolls are
available to students and faculty during the morning hours. On the
lower level are lockers, food and beverage dispensers, and two rooms
equipped with tables for a coffee break or light luncheon.
A unique feature of the Law School is the study area provided on the
fourth floor of Levy Mayer Hall. Rooms accommodating four to ten
persons each, ideally suited to individual study or informal discussion
and review sessions, are located here.
Separate offices are provided for student activities, including the
Junior Bar Association, the Law R eview, the Journal of Criminal Law,
Criminology and Police Science, the Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition, and the JBA Bookstore.
Faculty offices, which open directly onto main corridors for access
without formalities or intermediaries, foster frequent and fruitful informal meetings between student and teacher.
STUDENT RESIDENCE
Living and working together, law students gain advantages that are
significant if not readily apparent. Casual conversation and earnest
discussion contribute to the development of the prospective lawyer's
powers and personality. The stimulation and discipline students give
one another have an impact that is directly evident in the classroom.
The ancient ancestors of modern law schools, the English Inns of
Court, depended solely upon the influences of students' living, eating,
and arguing informally together to produce men of professional qualification. For the student who resides in Abbott Hall, the Law School becomes the center of everyday life. The library and the classrooms are
accessible, the distractions of commuting are avoided, and the student
can concentrate his time and attention on preparing for the practice of
law.
For these reasons, all law students except married students and those
whose homes are within easy commuting distance of the School are encouraged to live in Abbott Hall. It is designed to provide convenient
20
�and attractive living quarters and to provide an atmosphere for development of all those qualities of personality which are so essential to a
lawyer, but which for the most part fall outside the sphere of formal
training. All law students residing in Abbott Hall belong to the Law
Residents' Association. The purpose of this organization is to bring
together the law students living in Abbott Hall and to provide social
activities.
The building, eighteen stories high, overlooks Lake Michigan on
Lake Shore Drive from Huron to Superior Street. It is constructed of
Indiana limestone and conforms in architectural style to the classroom
buildings on the campus. The first two floors and the basement contain common rooms for social and recreational purposes; the upper
sixteen have private accommodations, with a lounge on each of the
upper floors. The first floor contains general offices and a series of shops.
On the second floor are a large student lounge and the dining rooms.
Facilities for handball, squash, weight lifting, exercise, billiards, and
table tennis are available in the basement.
Floors are reserved for the students of the School of Law. There is
also space reserved for women law students. Double study-bedrooms ~
available. Rooms are equipped with desks, dressers, and beds with innerspring mattresses. All rooms are provided with chairs, draperies, and
lamps. Bed linens are not furnished. Each room has a double closet K
(Trunks are stored in the baggage room in the basement.) The plan of
a typical residential floor in Abbott Hall is shown below.
18
17
The cost of room and board in Abbott Hall is reasonable and is
below the rates charged for other desirable accommodations in the
same part of the city. The average room rate for the academic year is
$400 for each occupant. Before a room is occupied, a contract for the
academic year is signed by the applicant.
Students eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner cafeteria style in Abbott
Hall's spacious dining rooms overlooking Lake Michigan. Hot and cold
foods are also available in the vending canteen on the second floor.
Students may pay cash for a la carte meals, or they may sign board
21
�contracts. Students who choose the contract plan get 17 meals per week
and have the privilege of unlimited portions at all meals. The average
daily cost of meals on a cash basis is $3.50. The cost of a school year
board contract is $600.
The Division of Student Finance issues and makes all adjustments on
the residence bills for Abbott Hall. Rental bills are issued for payments
on October I, January I, and April I. Bills are due upon presentation
and are payable at the Cashier's Office in Abbott Hall.
Applications, together with a $50.00 room deposit, should be filed as
early as possible. For room applications, address the Manager, Abbott
Hall, 710 North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
Abbott Hall also has a limited number of furnished apartments for
married students. Apartment rentals average $130 a month, including
utilities. Rental apartments also are available in private buildings in the
vicinity of the Law School or within easy commuting distance.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The Student Health Service for students of the Law School registered
for six or more semester hours is located in the Montgomery Ward
Building, Room 2-009, of the Medical School. Medical services and
hospital insurance available are described in the Student Health Bulletin
each student receives upon registration.
To initiate a student's medical record, a physical examination by a
personal physician before entrance to the University is required.
The Clinic is open daily except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays
from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Physicians' hours are posted on the Student
Health bulletin board. In an emergency, a student may report to the
nurse in charge, Room 2-009, during regular clinic hours. Acute illness
occurring outside those hours should be reported to the Emergency Room
at the Passavant Memorial Hospital.

�"[Here the] teaching will . .. give men
what they want to know when they go
out to fight, but . . . it will send them
forth with a pennon as well as with a
sword, to keep before their eyes in the
long battle the little flutter that means
ideals, honor, yes, even romance, in all
the dull details."
-Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes,
at the dedication of earlier Law School
buildings, October 20, 1902.
The
of
Course
Instruction
The purpose of the Law School is to prepare its graduates for effective service in all fields of law-to qualify men and women not only for
the private practice of the profession but for careers in government
service, in commerce and finance, and in legal education. The curriculum does not concentrate upon imparting knowledge of the legal rules
applicable in any one jurisdiction or region. Rather, it concentrates
upon the development of the fundamental capacities and skills of the
lawyer.
Human activity is infinitely varied and ever changing. Law, bringing
order and direction to the relations of men, involves a continuous process of growth and adjustment. Every legal problem and each case that
comes to the lawyer is, in a sense, unique. Effective professional education must, therefore, prepare the student to deal with situations never
before encountered, to direct the resources of the law to new fields of
human endeavor, and to handle not the problems of the past but the
cases of the future.
Reflecting this objective, the program of instruction in the Law
School differs markedly from the usual undergraduate instruction. It
requires, of course, diligence and effort for a mastery of the formal materials of the course. Beyond this foundation the instruction demands
thought and initiative of the individual student to extend his learning
beyond the limits of the materials and to stretch his powers of analysis.
As the lawyer must deal with new situations throughout his professional
life, so the student lawyer is taught to transcend rote learning and to
find his way in unfamiliar contexts. The result is an intellectual challenge that is both rewarding and stimulating. The individual student
is spurred to go so far as his mind and industry will carry him.
23
�CLASSES
The law student typically attends classes for fifteen or sixteen hours
a week. Class meetings are scheduled throughout the morning and
afternoon Monday through Friday with time for study between classes.
There are occasional special class meetings on Saturday, although generally that day is available for uninterrupted individual study and research. Two or three times as many hours are devoted to individual
study as are spent in class. Time spent in co-curricular activities and
independent research must be added to the requirements of course work.
The study of law, therefore, is a full-time occupation.
In a typical Law School term, the student's class attendance is distributed among four or five courses. Some of the subjects represent
ancient categories of the law. Course titles such as Criminal Law, Property, Contracts, and Torts go back, as separate topics, to the days of Lord
Coke or Blackstone. But life has changed since those early days in the
law, and even these traditional subjects have altered substantially in content. Today in Torts, the focus is on such disparate objects as the automobile and the atom and upon the legal problem each presents to an
energized society. Property law today concerns itself not only with ancient learning but with topics such as urban renewal and air rights.
Criminal Law more and more is concerned with psychiatry, with modern
24
�correctional theories, and with protection of the fundamental rights of
the accused. The law of Contracts today finds itself dealing with and
adjusting to the subject matter of tomorrow-plastics, missiles, the building of skyscrapers, and the hiring of research and development skills.
The changing character of law is reflected in the content of traditional courses, altered to keep pace with a changing society. It is reflected,
too, in the newer courses introduced by the Law School into the law
curriculum to deal with emerging areas of legal service. The lawyer is a
full-time student for only one period in his professional life. t
the
limits of the possible, he must be educated in that brief span for the responsibilities of the legal profession, not just for the day, but for the half
century of lawyer's work that lies ahead. iLabor Law, Taxation, Administrative Law, and Trade Relations were introduced into the basic
program of the Law School during the formative years of those subjects,
anticipating the cu,r rent recognition of their significance. Courses and
seminars in International Law, Scientific Evidence, Comparative Law,
and International Business Transactions are typical of other offerings
designed to meet the needs of the profession in the years to come.
FACULTY
The basic instruction in the Law School program is conducted by the
full-time resident faculty, who make teaching their first responsibility.
Each member is experienced in private practice, in responsible government posts, or both. Many are called upon for consultation and advice
by government agencies and private groups and are active in the organizations and affairs of the legal profession and the community. Their
scholarly activities include the delivery of lectures and addresses before
legal and public bodies and the preparation of learned treatises and
articles. Such activities serve to complement and to enrich the instruction. The casebooks and other teaching materials for a majority of the
courses offered in the School were prepared by the faculty members who
teach those courses, and many are widely used, standard works in their
respective fields.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
In recognition of the lawyer's function of articulating the conflicting
interests of society, instruction in modern law schools is conducted principally through participation by the class. No longer does the student
lawyer listen passively in a lectur e audience. To maximize the opportunity for active par ticipation afforded each student, Northwestern Law
School has adopted a curricular policy emphasizing instruction through
25
�relatively small classes and seminars. First-year courses enrolling 175
students or more have no place in the Law School program. The entering student will find himself attending classes with a group of approximately half that size. Seminars are limited in enrollment and commonly
range in size from ten to twenty students. Advanced individual work
is conducted under the personal supervision of one or more members
of the faculty.
Instruction of this kind requires a low student-faculty ratio. The
program of the School is based upon the conviction that this concentration of educational resources upon the individual student is the most
effective way to
the skills that distinguish the legal profession.
The Case Method
The case method of teaching, employed principally in the formal
courses, particularly those offered in the first year, is founded upon the
premise that the first objective of law training is to develop an understanding on the part of the student of how and why the courts decide
cases as they do. The method was adopted at the Law School in the
earliest years of its development. The materials of study are the actual
decisions of courts, embodied in written opinions rendered in real and
disputed cases, rather than a textbook compendium of legal rules. The
cases themselves are the specimens of legal controversy to be examined
and dissected. The student is brought to the level of a participant in
the proceeding, analyzing each stage in the course of litigation and each
step in the process of decision. Through painstaking scrutiny of a large
number of cases, the student shares vicariously the experience of the
lawyers and judges who conducted them, and thereby gains an understanding of the judicial process based on observation of the law in action
at first hand.
Although the case method varies in its use with the approach of the
professor, the teaching styles grouped under this heading have certain
characteristic elements in common.
Under the case system it is essential that students prepare thoroughly and intensively before class. The course materials for this preparation
consist of a casebook, a collection of actual decisions in related kinds of
controversy. The student at Northwestern will find that the authors of
many of his casebooks are his own professors, authorities in their respective fields. The class session in a case-taught course typically does not
offer a lecture but rather a discussion of several of these cases, conducted
in the manner of a Socratic dialogue between the teacher and students.
Questions are designed to test the student's understanding of the case,
to identify the considerations that controlled the decision, and to probe
its implications for similar situations and its relation to other decisions.
26
�The discussion is conducted in an atmosphere of unrelenting questioning of each idea presented, by both fellow students and instructor.
Through the guidance of provocative questions, the students develop a
healthy skepticism, a capacity for independent critical judgment, and a
tough-minded approach to legal materials.
Although the professor may upon occasion depart from the interrogating role to explain the background of a legal problem or to give
direction to the class discussion, the essence of the case method is the
collective probing and searching, the crucible of give and take in which
the student's own powers of reason and analysis are tempered and developed. The system is in fact designed to revert to the student, after
he has digested and evaluated the wide range of ideas developed in
group discussion, the task of developing for himself an understanding,
first, of what courts and administrative agencies do and why they do it
and, second, of how to participate effectively in the process. From the
outset of his law school career the student is thus led to do what he has
to do throughout his professional life-think, analyze, and decide on his
own initiative.
With the interplay of ideas and clash of opinion, class sessions are
seldom dull. Since the significant formulation in the progress of the discussion may well come from a fellow student, and, since any student may
be drawn into the discussion at any time, alertness and concentrated
attention are required of all.
27
�Most college students, accustomed to student-teacher dialogue only
in quite small groups, find it difficult to imagine vigorous discussion in
a class of eighty or ninety students. Although they may not fully understand why such discussion is possible until they themselves become regular participants in the process, they are welcomed and encouraged to
arrange with the Admissions Office to visit one or two classes at the Law
School to see the process in action.
The Problem Method
The problem method, an instructional technique originated at the
Law School and now widely empl_oyed throughout legal education, is
used in many second and third-year courses. Here the emphasis is not
upon the cases or administrative decisions as such. The focus of the
student's work and of the class session is rather a set of facts raising
legal problems for which there may indeed be no authoritative solution.
The student's task is to take the available materials in the forms of decisions, statutes, and administrative rulings and to construct or create
his own solution to the problem.
Perhaps the problem is set at the stage where the businessman asks
for advice on a proposed transaction. Perhaps the transaction has already
taken place and the problem concerns the consequences to be attached
to the transaction by the federal or state government by way of taxation
or regulation. In short, the problems are much like those which come to
the lawyer in actual practice, and in fact the problems are frequently
drawn from life. Consultative practice by some members of the faculty
and the generally close relationship between the School and the practicing profession combine to provide the student in a problem-method
course with an experience that closel y approximates the practice of law.
Characteristically in a course taught by this method, the student submits before the class session a short memorandum solution to the problem, based on his analysis of relevant source material. In the class session, he or one of his fellow students is invited to explain the legal issues
presented by the problem situation and the views he takes of those issues.
Discussion, often vigorous, follows.
Practice Courses
Practice courses preserve in the Law School the advantages which
accrued to the aspiring attorney in an earlier day
there were no
law schools and a man trained himself for the bar by working in the
office of an established lawyer, observing the practice of law, and learning through trial and error the arts and skills of the profession.
In 1910, Northwestern introduced to legal education the idea of
28
�giving law students actual experience in practice through the medium of
assisting in the provision of legal services to the poor. This idea has
been a part of the curriculum since that time, and is now developed in
the course known as Legal Assistance Clinic. In this course, students
study legal problems of the poor and then serve in the Northwestern
Legal Assistance Clinic under the supervision of faculty members. The
Clinic handles all types of civil cases, and the student is given practical
experience and faculty instruction in consulting with clients, interviewing witnesses, and preparing pleadings and other documents. The student also assists the lawyers in the Clinic in the preparation for and
conduct of trials. The training is similar in many respects to that provided during the internship period in medical education.
During his first year, the student is instructed in the techniques of
oral and written argument in the course in Moot Court. Practicing the
lawyer's skills, he is required to prepare a written brief in compliance
with prevailing
standards and
~
to argue his case, opposed by
a fellow student under courtroom conditions, before an appellate court
composed of prominent alumni and faculty members. This instruction
is continued on a voluntary basis in the second year in the Julius H.
Miner Moot Court Competition.
In the third year, the student is offered a choice of practice courses in
the trial of a lawsuit from its beginning to end. The instruction provides the student with actual experience in examining witnesses, presenting evidence, arguing to a jury, and the like. The student thus learns by
doing, not merely by precept, what the trial lawyer must be able to do.
Most of the lawyer's practice is carried on in his office, not in the
courtroom. To prepare its graduates for the work of counseling, advising, and planning, the Law School offers a number of courses in which
the student is called upon to draw the legal instruments and documents
which the practicing attorney must be able to prepare.
Seminars
Seminars are offered in the second and third years in a variety of
fields. Here the student is free to select subjects of special interest to
him and to explore new areas of the law. In a group commonly numbering from ten to twenty, with the guidance of a senior faculty member,
the student engages in intensive individual work on some aspect of the
general subject embraced by the seminar. Many seminars cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries and include materials and participants
from such fields as economics, sociology, psychiatry, and political science.
Often the seminar student writes a major paper and presents this product
of his own research and analysis for the critical consideration of the
seminar group.
29
�Legal Writing Skills
Every student is offered the opportunity during his Law School
career to develop his writing skills. In the first year, he is required to
take a course in legal writing and research which provides supervised
experience in written communication with particular reference to the
field of law. In his second and third years, he gains further experiemce
in supervised writing and may fulfill a requirement for graduation by
one or more of the following:
Editorial work on the Northw estern University Law R eview or the
Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science.
Participation in the Senior Research Program.
Enrollment in one of the seminars which place special emphasis on
legal writing.
While most of the seminars emphasize writing, one type has a major
objective of furnishing an intensive writing experience. In these seminars, the student is able to fulfill a graduation requirement by
preliminary and revised drafts which receive careful editorial criticism
prior to his submission of his major paper. Such seminars are indicated
by an asterisk (*) in the Bulletin. Another type of seminar is oriented
to a greater degree towards advanced research and study in an important
substantive field of the law. In this latter type, while submission of a
major paper may be required, submission of preliminary drafts are not.
Senior Research Program
The Senior Research Program in the third year is an innovation in
legal education introduced in 1966-67. Under this
a ~student
with faculty approval may elect to devote a significant portion of his
third year to advanced research under the personal supervision of one
or more members of the faculty. A student interested in this program
may propose during his second year a project for faculty approval and
arrange his schedule to include the Law School courses and seminars
which provide the necessary background for the proposed work. In the
third year the student meets at least weekly with his faculty supervisor
to discuss the progress of the research. The final paper or report must
be approved by a faculty committee.
The aim is not to make a "specialist" of the student, but rather to
afford him the intellectual experience of exploring a subject to its depths;
of sharpening his power of analysis, observation and communication; and
of making a genuine contribution to research. Depending upon the
nature of the subject, projects may require research in the law library,
and may also draw upon other resources: other libraries in the University
and the community; other departments of the University, where course or
30
�seminar offerings related to the field of inquiry may be taken; or the community itself, where field research may be undertaken. The program is
flexible enough to permit, with careful advanced planning and approval,
work in other parts of the nation or the world.
The faculty participants in the program carry a classroom teaching
load which is lighter than normal so that they may devote more time
to parallel research and to the joint discussion and critique necessary
to take the inquiry beyond the bounds of traditional seminar work or
individual study projects. Indeed, in many cases, work in the program
is expected to grow into a
cooperative
I
student-teacher research
undertaking, more significant not only in substance but also in working
relationship than anything heretofore possible in a law school setting.
The challenges and rewards promised by the Senior Research Program
are many. As a supplement to the longer established group learning techniques, the individual learning and teaching offered by the program
promise significant further enrichment for students willing and able to
meet its demands
initiative, self-discipline, and hard work. The program is expected to serve, too, the School's established goal of making
regular contributions on the frontiers of the law.
Most significant of all, perhaps, are the opportunities for student and
teacher to work together in concrete ways toward the common end of
advancing the highest traditions of the law as a learned profession and
as a servant of society.
THE THREE-YEAR CURRICULUM
In the last century, Northwestern, setting the norm in legal education, was among the first of the nation's law schools to require three
years of study for a degree in law. Beginning students enter the Law
School in September and attend the two semesters of the regular academic year for three years.
During his first year of law study, the student follows a course designed to provide an understanding of basic legal principles and concepts
and to give a solid grounding in the fundamentals indispensable for all
branches of the profession. Here the student encounters the grand
divisions of private law-Property, Tort, and Contract-as well as Constitutional Law and Criminal Law. The course in Legal Writing and
Research meets in small groups (ten to fifteen students) in which the
lawyer's basic tools and the first year student's individual problems in
dealing with them are under careful scrutiny.
Each entering student is assigned a senior faculty member as adviser.
This advisory relationship is available in the first year to ease the adjustment to the demands of law study. Thereafter the adviser becomes
guide and mentor as the student plans the work of his last two years.
31
�The wide range of electives offered by the Law School in the second
and third years permits a degree of concentration by the student wishing
it. Moreover, seminars often provide opportunities for further exploration of a field in a new context. For example, criminal procedure may
be treated in a paper written for the Civil Liberties seminar. But perhaps most significant is the opportunity offered to sample a wide variety
of problems in the law and to foster new interests thus discovered. For
those courses which have two sections, the School's policy of scheduling
the sections at different times and often in different semesters is intended
to permit the student to select virtually any combination of elective
courses he wishes in his last two years.
THE COMBINED M.B.A.-J.D. PROGRAM
A student may earn the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)
and the Juris Doctor EgKaKF
degrees during a period of four years if he
enrolls in both the Graduate School of Management and the School of
Law as a participant in the combined
program.
If earned independently, these degrees would require a total of five
years of •study, three years in the School of Law with a minimum of 90
semester hours of work and two years in the Graduate School of Management with 24 course units of work. Under the combined degree program,
the JD. degree may be earned by taking a minimum of 75 semester
hours in the School of Law, an additional 15 semester hours of credit
toward this degree being given for work completed in the Graduate
School of Management. This 15 hours of credit is given, however, only
to a student enrolled in the program. Similarly, the M.B.A. may be
earned by taking 18 course units of work, additional credit for 6 course
units being given for work completed in the School of Law.
The precise order in which work is taken may be determined individually. A typical program might be a full year of study in one school
and a full year of study in the other, followed by combined study in both
law and management during the third or fourth years. This may be
varied to suit the needs of the individual student. A student in the
combined program, however, must complete one academic year of study
exclusively in each school before enrolling for a program of courses in
both schools.
An applicant to the combined
should
~ apply separately to each of the schools, following procedures prescribed by each
school. To qualify for the combined program, an applicant must be
admitted to both schools. After admission, the applicant must signify
which school he wishes to attend first.
A student already enrolled in one school may apply for the combined
program by seeking admission to the other school during his first year
32
�of study in the School of Management or during either his first or second
year of study in the School of Law.
A student in the combined program may be considered for financial
assistance separately by each school for the first year the student is enrolled in that school and by both schools during the time he is taking
courses in both schools.
JOINT DEGREE PROGRAM IN SOCIOLEGAL STUDIES
Under a new grant from the National Institute of Mental Health,
orthwestern in 1970 begins an integrated joint degree program leading
to both the J.D. and a Ph.D. in one of the social sciences. For the
student to earn both degrees, a minimum of five years of work is required, including four years of courses, a dissertation year, and two
summers of supervised team research.
The primary objective of this program is to produce scholars who
have all the skills necessary to do either basic or applied research on
legal systems. To do such research successfully, it is often essential for
the scholar to be fully ' qualified as a professional both in law and in
social science. The graduates of this program will qualify for admission
the Bar and will be competent to practice law. They will also be
fully trained in both the theory and methods of social science, and will
be experienced in field research on legal systems.
In the initial, experimental phase, the program will admit approximately five carefully selected students per year for a period of three
years. Substantial amounts of financial assistance will be made available
to these students from the funds provided by the National Institute of
Mental Health.
Applicants interested in this program may get further information
by writing to The Program in Law and Social Sciences, Northwestern
University, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
To be recommended for the degree of Juris Doctor, a student must
complete successfully 90 semester hours of work, including all courses
specified for the first year and at least one of the following:
(a) A Senior Research project.
(b) Participation in the work of the Law Review or the Journal of
Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science.
(c) Participation in a seminar in which the student submits preliminary and revised drafts for criticism by the instructor prior
to submission of his major paper.
Seminars in which preliminary drafts are normally required
are indicated by an asterisk (*). Further, in other seminars, the
33
�student may be permitted to submit preliminary drafts with the
prior consent of the instructor. Students who meet the requirement for graduation elsewhere may enroll in seminars denoted
by an asterisk and, with the consent of the instructor, be excused
from submitting ·preliminary drafts of their major paper.
Although the Faculty may change the requirements for graduation
at any time, this responsibility is not exercised so as to place an undue
burden upon an enrolled student who has planned his program on the
basis of previously announced requirements.
In addition to these course requirements, instructors may establish
one or more prerequisites for enrollment in particular courses and seminars in the second and third years. Courses listed as concurrent requisites
may be courses taken previously or to be taken concurrently.
COURSE LOAD
Courses totaling NS credit-hours in any term, in the opm10n of the
faculty, represent the maximum amount of work which a good student
can do effectively under favorable conditions. On the other hand, each
student is expected to register for not less than 14 credit-hours of work
each term.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT
The seminars and the courses in Trial Practice are limited in enrollment. The School cannot assure that all students wishing to enroll in a
particular seminar or Trial Practice can be accommodated.

An examination of the rapidly developing law defining the rights and responsibilities of welfare recipients and problems of litigation, particularly federal
jurisdictional problems, encountered in vindicating the rights of recipients. Proposals for reform of the welfare system and the extent to which these may alter
the substantive and procedural problems will also be examined against the
52
�background of the present law. Dodyk, Income Maintenance Cases and Materials, and further materials to be announced or supplied.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Programs for the second and third year must have the written approval of the student's assigned faculty adviser. In their second year, students may register for no more than one seminar in any semester. Third
year students may register in any semester for no more than two seminars
requiring the writing of substantial papers.
Regular attendance is required in all courses. No student should
enroll in any course without the intention and capability of satisfying
this requirement. Failure to attend regularly may cause reduction in
grades, loss of credit for courses, additional remedial work, denial of
residence credit, or other appropriate sanctions at the discretion of the
instructor or the Dean.
EXAMINATIONS
Regular examinations are given in all formal courses. In accordance
with ·the prevailing practice in legal education, a single final examination is usually given, without periodic or mid-term tests, to permit comprehensive treatment of the subject matter and to measure the student's
capacity to work with and master a substantial body of material. Although examinations provide the most important source for determining
the student's relative achievement, consideration may also be given to
the written work done in connection with a course and to the preparation of assignments for recitation as reflected in classroom discussion. In
seminar courses, no examinations are ordinarily given. Grades are based
upon the products of individual research and participation in the seminar discussions.
Students who are eligible but who for good reason are unable to
take an examination may, with the permission of the Dean, take the
next regularly scheduled examination in the course, take the examination late, or in unusual cases be given a special examination.
HONORS AND PRIZES
In 1907 the Order of the Coif was founded at Northwestern, and it
has since become the recognized national honor society in legal education with chapters, numbering more than forty-five, established in most
of the leading law schools. The tradition of recognizing scholarly excellence, thus begun in the School, is reflected today in the long list of
awards and prizes (pp. 54-56) in recognition of superior accomplishment

DEGREES
Degrees are conferred by the Trustees of the University upon students
who are recommended by the faculty of the School of Law. Before a
student is recommended for a degree, he must have satisfied the faculty
as to his character, and he must have complied with the requirements
for the degree for which he is a candidate.
The first degree in law awarded by the University is the Juris Doctor EgKaKFK

�SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS
In the total educational program of the Law School, the formal course work
within the curriculum is
by a variety of additional offerings.
Lectures by distinguished scholars, jurists, and statesmen from the United States
and abroad serve as cultural adjuncts to the regular courses and emphasize the
broader public obligations of the profession. In recognition of the Law School's
role in the life of the profession, the community, and the nation, conferences
are held which bring together leaders of thought and action for discussion of
subjects of major public importance. Through participation in these programs,
the student broadens his vision and develops the sense of public responsibility
which characterizes the highest traditions of the bar.
Many of these curricular supplements are presented by the Law School as
an integral part of the general educational program upon an occasional basis
and without special sponsorship. Others are offered as part of established and
continuing programs within the School. The most notable of these continuing
programs are described below.
THE ROSENTHAL LECTURES
The Julius Rosenthal Foundation, administered by the Law School, was
established in 1919 in memory of the eminent and beloved member of the
Chicago Bar. The funds are devoted to the support of the Rosenthal Lecture

THE LINTHICUM FOUNDATION PROGRAM
The Charles Clarence Linthicum Foundation was established in 1926 in
memory of Professor Linthicum, Class of 1882, a member of the Law School
faculty from 1902 to 1915, and one of the most eminent patent lawyers of his
day. The income of the fund is devoted to the support of research, study, and
development of the law of trade, industry, and commerce. From time to time
prizes have been awarded from these funds to distinguished American and
European authors for meritorious books and essays. In recent years, the Foundation has sponsored a number of conferences with a significant focus on interrelationships of law, economics and government. Among the particular subject
areas which have been considered are antitrust, labor relations, general economic
60
�and industrial organization, administrative regulation, land use and European
Common Market development.
Since 1948, projects sponsored by the Linthicum Foundation have included
among their participants such distinguished scholars, jurists and public officials
as John Kenneth Galbraith, Arthur J. Goldberg, Judge Paul R. Hays, Newton
N. Minow, Eugene V. Rostow, the late Adlai E. Stevenson, and W. Willard
Wirtz.
VOLUNTARY LEGAL SERVICES
Recent developments in the law requiring representation for indigent criminal defendants and the proliferation of agencies providing voluntary legal
services in civil matters have greatly increased the opportunities for professional
experience open to law students. Among the public and private agencies that
accept volunteer service by law students are outlying offices of the Legal Aid
Bureau of United Charities and the Neighborhood Legal Assistance Center,
operated for needy residents of Chicago's near north side by a group of young
practicing attorneys.
The Law Scl10ol prov.ides outstanding opportunity for voluntary servi ce in
its own Northwestern Legal Assistance Clinic, established in 1969 with the
assistance of grants from the Council of Legal Education for Professional Responsibility, Inc., the Field Foundation, the Legal Aid Bureau of United
Charities, and Chicago attorney Arnold I. Shure. An extension of the Legal
Clinic Program which the Law School initiated in 1910, the clinic provides
civil a nd criminal legal services to persons who are patients of the Northwestern
61
�University medical and dental clinics. It serves other individuals and organizations in the community near the Chicago campus as well.
In voluntary legal services, all law students may assist in the interviewing
and counseling of clients, preparation of pleadings and other legal documents,
legal research, interviewing witnesses, and preparing for trial. Third year law
students may enroll in the clinical program for credit and may be certified to
practice in the courts under Rule 711 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of
Illinois.
CORPORATE COUNSEL INSTITUTE
Since 1962, Northwestern has conducted the Annual Corporate Counsel Institute in cooperation with the American, Illinois, and Chicago Bar Associations
and the Institute of Continuing Education of the Illinois Bar Association. The
two day program reviews problems of current importance to lawyers in corporate Jaw departments and in private corporate practice. Over six hundred
lawyers attended the most recent Institute.
Institute lecturers are distinguished private practitioners, members of corporate law departments, government officials, law professors, and other scholars
in fields of antitrust, labor relations, securities regulation, taxation, and other
areas of corporate law practice. Proceedings of the Institute are published.
Students in the Law School are invited to attend the Institute without charge.
Many of the papers presented are published in the Northwestern Law Review.
CRIMINAL LAW INTERNSHIPS
From Ford Foundation grant funds, summer internships are available to a
substantial number of freshman and junior law students who have a special
interest in the practice of criminal law. The interns are assigned for a summer's
work in a variety of criminal justice agencies (e.g. prosecution office, office of
public defender or private defense counsel). The stipend for the summer is
$1,200.

The Life of
The School
A well seasoned aphorism, familiar to law students everywhere, says
that a law student receives his education from his classmates. Like many
an old saw, the observation contains within its exaggeration a kernel of
truth. Law school instruction is built upon student participation. Beyond the classroom the student continues his professional preparation in
give-and-take discussion, corridor debate, and friendly argument with
his fellows. The vitality of the Law School is measured by the quality
and vigor of its student body.
At Northwestern the entering student finds himself a member of a
closely knit community of men and women, bound together by a common
pursuit and by the rich traditions of the Law School's history. The student body is comparatively small, averaging approximately 500 students.
The modest size of the School and its instructional policies-division of
most courses into two or more sections and the wide range of electives
offered after the first year-promote wide acquaintance among students.
The beginner is carefully chosen through a policy of selective admission designed to assure that every member of the class is capable
of legal study at the highest and most challenging level. His classmates
are high ranking graduates of the leading colleges and universities in the
United States and abroad.
Students benefit from friendly relationships with fellow students coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. The typical student body consists of men and women from thirty-five states and eight or ten foreign
countries. One hundred and fifty-eight colleges and universities are
represented by graduates enrolled in the Law School (see page 95). A
variety of undergraduate majors are included, and many students have
earned graduate degrees in other fields before entering Law School.
Law students as a whole tend to be individualistic and venturesome,
and a broad range of opinion and experience is encompassed in the
63

combine to develop a mature, tolerant, and broadened outlook in the
individual student. A healthy spirit of competition, helpful in encouraging each student to his best effort, exists concurrent with the kind of
comradeship and mutual respect so characteristic of the legal profession
generally.
LEGAL PUBLICATIONS
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW
Foremost among the Law School's student activities is the publication
of the Northwestern University Law R eview, one of the nation's leading
professional journals. The Law Review is circulated widely among lawyers
and judges and is often cited in briefs and judicial opinions. The tradition in the legal world of accepting as authoritative professional journals,
written, edited, and published by men who have not yet achieved professional status, is unique. Work on the Law Review is at once the most
demanding and rewarding experience available to the law student.
A law journal entitled the Northw estern Law Review was first established by students of the School during the academic year 1892-93, within
five years of the appearance of the first student journal in the nation.
Publication was continued in 1906, after a ten-year suspension, under the
title Illinois Law R eview.
For a period beginning in 1924, editorship was shared with the law
schools of the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois. In
1932 Northwestern students resumed full control, and in 1952 the name
was changed to Northwestern University Law R eview.
At the end of the first year, students of the highest scholastic standing
are chosen to write commentary on legal problems for publication and to
carry on the research, editing, and related work of the Law R eview.
Several more students are selected shortly before beginning their second
year on the basis of a writing competition. Selection is one of the highest
honors and greatest responsibilities the Law School can bestow. Because
of their rich educational experience and resulting excellent qualification
for any field of the profession, Law R eview editors are sought and preferred after graduation by leading law firms, government, and private
business. The fact that the student body is not large means that at Northwestern the opportunities for Law Review participation are somewhat
broader than in many other schools.
Law Review participation is hard work, which requires the members
to return several weeks before school begins in the fall and demands a
major portion of their time during the academic year. One day each
spring is reserved for a Law Review student-faculty softball game and a
dinner program caricaturing the foibles of the professors.
66
�THE JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL LAW,
CRIMINOLOGY AND POLICE SCIENCE
Another Law School publication that is available for the publishable
products of student scholarship is the Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and Police Science. This Journal, with a world-wide circulation,
is the foremost publication of its kind. It has been in continuous publication since 1910. Professor Fred E. Inbau is its editor-in-chief and
managing director. He is assisted by consulting editors in the areas of
criminology and police science.
The Student Editorial Board of the Journal, like the editorial board
of the Law Review, is chosen from among the highest ranking students
at the end of the first year and bears responsibility for the preparation
of the criminal law section of the Journal. This includes the solicitation, selection and editing of competent material submitted for publication by judges, practicing attorneys, professors and other legal scholars,
and responsibility for preparation of publishable student material in
the criminal law field. The student editors are assisted by Professor
James B. Haddad, the Journal's assistant editor-in-chief.
Although several law schools, in an effort to afford greater writing
and editorial participation by students, have an "intramural" law review
in addition to a regularly published journal, the availability at Northwestern of two regularly published outlets is a rare opportunity. Moreover, the faculty anticipates that the Student Editorial Board wi11 soon
be given even greater responsibility for the editorship of the Journal.
JULIUS H. MINER MOOT COURT COMPETITION
To provide continuing practice and instruction in the arts of appellate advocacy, the first-year course in Moot Court is supplemented by the
Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition for advanced students in the
School. Made possible by an endowment memorializing Judge Julius H .
Miner, the program is conducted, under faculty supervision, by thirdyear students comprising the Moot Court Board and involves the preparation of appellate court briefs and the presentation of oral arguments
before panels of judges, practicing attorneys, and faculty members. The
cases typically raise issues of current legal importance, more complex and
challenging than those assigned in the regular first-year course. The final
argument is conducted before the entire sudent body, customarily with
distinguished judges from the federal bench. Those who have served
as presiding judges for final arguments include former Associate Justice
Arthur J. Goldberg (J.D., 1930) and Associate Justices Tom C. Clark,
Thurgood Marshall, Potter Stewart, and Byron R. White of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The School team in the National Moot
Court Competition is chosen from among the Miner Competition finalists.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT:
THE JUNIOR BAR ASSOCIATION
In the belief that the most effective way to foster maturity and
judgment among students is to vest responsibility in them, the Law
School has conferred a large measure of authority upon the students'
professional organization, the Junior Bar Association.
All students are members of the JBA and through it contribute to
the educational and recreational programs of the Law School. JBA
student commi ttees are responsible for many activities, including the
annual orientation program for new students, Parents Day, Law Day,
and a student-run bookstore which handles used casebooks and course
materials, supplementing the facilities of the University bookstore. Outstanding lawyers, judges, and political figures are frequent visitors to
the School as part of the JBA Speaker's Program, often meeting with
students at coffee hours following such programs.
The JBA plans several social and recreational programs throughout
the academic year, including student-faculty coffee hours, informal socials, and a film series with full-length feature movies. Other social
activities are planned each year to reflect the interests of the student
body.
HONOR CODE
An important product of the Law School's philosophy of student
responsibili ty is the Honor Code and the broad authority granted to the
68
�students, through the .Junior Bar Association, for its enforcement and
implementation. The basic tenet of the Honor Code is that the law
student, like the lawyer, should be subject to unyielding standards of
honorable conduct. In reliance upon the students' collective sense of
responsibility, Law School examinations are unmonitored and unsupervised by faculty, staff, or proctors. The Honor Code imposes a strict obligation upon each student to report any apparent infractions to the
students constituting the Board of Governors of the Association. After a
full hearing, the Board has the duty to make findings and to recommend
appropriate disciplinary action to the faculty .
The Code covers all academic phases of Law School activity. It is of
special note that this system has been chosen by the students and that
students administer the system which guarantees the honor of the Law
School community. The habits of honor fostered by this honor system
stand the young lawyer in good stead before the bench and bar.
RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS
Each year a number of second and third year students are selected
to serve as Research Assistants to individual members of the faculty.
These appointments carry a modest stipend but are valued primarily for
the opportunities they afford for close participation in the ongoing
scholarly work and publications of the faculty.
LAW WIVES
Recognizing the importance of the wife's role in aiding her husband's study of law, the Law Wives organization provides an opportunity for the student wife to understand something about the subject
which consumes so much of her husband's time. The Law Wife may
enjoy an informal talk by a faculty member on law study or a legal
problem of general interest, or she may spend the evening socializing
with other student wives. Occasionally, professors have conducted mock
law classes for the wives to give them a firsthand view of the educational
process in which their husbands are involved.
��"Mr. Hoyne says that he has confidence
that the School will commence with 50
students. The tuition fees are to be $100
per year."
-Letter from Henry Booth, first Dean
of the Law School, to his wife, dated
June 30, 1859.
Admission, Tuition,
Fees, and
Financial Aid
Every year the i~
School draws many hundreds of applications
for admission from every state in the U.S. and from abroad. In recent
years there have been ten or more applicants for each p lace in the entering class.
ADMISSION
The admission policies of Northwestern University are not predicated
upon any consideration whatever of race, color, or creed, but completely
upon the competence of the individual.
Since its early years the Law School has followed a policy of selective
admission to preserve its character as a cohesive academic community of
modest size and to assure continued educational standards of the highest
order. Consequently, the School is unable to accept many applicants
who are capable of successfully completing legal studies and qualifying
for the practice of law.
Applicants are selected for admission upon the basis of demonstrated
scholarship, intellectual capacity, and qualities of character requisite to
the profession. The School endeavors to admit only those applicants
whose records indicate that they will successfully complete the course of
study.
MAKING APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
Application forms and information concerning admission requirements may be obtained by writing to the Office of Admissions, Northwestern University School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago,
Illinois 60611.
71
�Students beginning the study of law enter the School at the opening
of the first semester in September.
Before enrollment the student must have obtained a Bachelor's degree
from an approved college or university.
Application to the Law School is accomplished by filing an application form with the Law School and by registering with the Law School
Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) of the Educational Testing Service,
Princeton, N.J. An LSDAS registration form is provided with each
Northwestern University School of Law application form, but the
LSDAS form must be sent directly to the Educational Testing Service,
not to the Law School.
The LSDAS registration must be supplemented by a transcript sent
directly to LSDAS, not to the Law School, from each college and university attended, regardless of the number of hours of credit received.
Except in unusual cases, transcripts should not be supplied until they
include a record of three full academic years. If the application is approved, the applicant must supply a final transcript certifying the award
of a Bachelor's degree directly to the Law School.
The LSDAS registration must also be supported by a report of the
applicant's score on the Law School Admission Test. Northwestern
University School of Law joined with several other schools in sponsoring the development of this test, designed to measure the student's
general aptitude for the study of law. Information on how to arrange
to take the test, administered by the Educational Testing Service, is
supplied with registration material for the test, which may be obtained
directly from the Educational Testing Service. The test may be taken
either before or after the Law School application form and LSDAS
registration form are filed. An applicant for admission in September
should ordinarily plan to take the test in the fall preceding the year
in which admission to law school is sought. When the scores are available, they will automatically be added to the LSDAS file for the applicant.
LSDAS will provide Northwestern University School of Law, as well
as other law schools to which the applicant wishes to seek admission,
with an analysis of the transcripts and a report of the Law School Admission Test score. A fee for this service ($5 for the initial designated
law school and $2 for each additional school) is paid by the applicant
directly to the Educational Testing Service. The full details of the Law
School Data Assembly Service accompany the registration form.
An applicant must also submit, directly to the Law School on forms
furnished by Northwestern, recommendations from two college or university instructors. Each application submitted to the Law School must
also be accompanied by an application fee of $20 which is not refundable.
72
�VISITS TO THE SCHOOL
An applicant need not appear for a personal interview unless invited
by the Committee on Admissions. Since all admissions decisions are
made by a faculty committee, a personal interview with the Assistant
Dean in charge of admissions would not serve to communicate the
special circumstances of an applican t to all those considering his case.
An applicant who wishes to supply special information concerning his
application should submit a written statement.
Most questions can be answered by the Secretary of Admissions, who
is available for conferences with applicants. Appointments should be
arranged in advance by mail or telephone.
WHEN TO APPLY
The completed application form should be submitted by January 1.
Applications not completed by March 1 will be considered only if spaces
are available. It is
necessary to wait until the transcripts, test score,
and recommendations can be supplied before filing the application.
Applicants for financial assistance must apply by March 1.
Applications are considered and acted upon as soon as the supporting
information has been received. Determinations are made upon a balanced evaluation of the applicant's college record and the Law School
Admission Test score, supplemented by the required recommendations
and other information bearing on the applicant's capacity and qualification for law study. Each application is considered carefully and individually. The trend of undergraduate achievement, performance in particular fields and courses, and the demands and influence of other
activities and personal ·circumstances are weighed and taken into account.
Every doubtful application is thoroughly discussed and examined by a
committee of faculty members.
Each applicant who is accepted for admission, whether or not he has
been awarded financial assistance, is required to make a non-refundable
deposit of $ 100 by April I of the year of entrance or within twenty-one
days after notice of acceptance, whichever is later. Upon registration the
deposit is applied toward tuition and fees.
No applicant previously enrolled in another law school is admitted
either as a beginning student or as a transfer student if he is ineligible
to continue study at that school.
TRANSFER
The admission of a student previously enrolled in another law school
who wishes to become a candidate for the degree of Juris Doctor depends
upon the applicant's achievements in law study and upon the factors
73
�which control the admission of beginning students. Generally stated, the
standard requires a highly creditable law school record.
Transfer applicants should submit the application form with the
$20 application fee, transcripts from each college and university attended, including the law school from which transfer is contemplated,
and two recommendations from former instructors, at least one of which
is a law school instructor. A statement of law school class standing also
should be submitted, and the Law School Admission Test score report
must be furnished.
The granting of credit for courses completed in other schools and the
allowance of advanced standing rest within the discretion of the Dean of
the School. In no event is transfer credit given for law school work in
schools which are not members of the Association of American Law
Schools or for courses in which the student received a grade below C or
its equivalent.
PRE-LEGAL STUDY
A Bachelor's degree in arts or science is required for admission to the
Law School, but no specific fields of major study or particular courses are
prescribed. The purpose of the requirement is to provide the prospective
lawyer with a sound liberal education for the discharge of his broader
professional responsibilities and to provide a foundation for law school
74
�training. Since the reach of the law's concerns may be as wide as the
range of human behavior, no particular course of undergraduate study
is viewed as conferring a special advantage in the law.
College curricula vary, the content of courses bearing the same title
may be dissimilar, and teaching attitudes and emphases differ. Accordingly, suggestions must be general. Courses in such fields as history, economics, anthropology, sociology, government, and political science may
help the student to understand the structure of society and the problems
of social ordering with which the law is concerned. Studies in philosophy
and literature may impart a familiarity with the traditions of thought
that have influenced legal developments. The examination of human
behavior in courses in psychology and its analysis through statistical
method may also prove worthwhile.
In developing the capacities and skills of the lawyer, the college student should pursue studies that enhance his power to express himself with clarity and force. English, foreign language courses, and public
speaking can be recommended, but the capacities may be developed as
well in other courses in which written work of high quality is demanded.
For the systematic ordering of abstractions and ideas, the physical, natural, and mathematical sciences, in addition to logic, are suggested.
Apart from subject matter, the student preparing for the study of law
should take courses of sufficient difficulty to test his capacities to the
utmost to assist in the development of the rigorous intellectual discipline
essential to success in law school. He would be well advised, in addition,
to pursue his studies far enough in some definite field to attain a mastery
of the subject. The typical student is more likely to extend himself
and thereby to increase his capacities for law study if he follows his own
interests and tastes.
It is perhaps advisable, however, for the prospective law student to
avoid undergraduate courses in law designed to prepare one for other
callings and duplicating law school work. Ordinarily, the time and effort
are better spent in studies in other fields.
In general, the undergraduate college student is best advised not to try
to prepare particularly and narrowly for his law school studies, but to
prepare for his life as a lawyer by obtaining the best available general
education. He will find that what is best for law school is also the best
in liberal education-a course of study that develops in the student the
capacity to understand, to think for himself, and to express himself
effectively.
75
�TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
The cost of a year of law study varies with the needs, habits, and circumstances of the student. As a base from which individual estimates may be
drawn, the sum of $4,000 approximates the total expense for the academic year
of the average unmarried student residing in Abbott Hall, the Law School
dormitory. Of this total, about $2,300 is required for tuition, fees, books, and
supplies. The remainder represents the typical expenditure for room, board,
and personal needs.
TUITION
The student's total investment in his legal education, although large in absolute terms, is insubstantial in comparison with its total returns in the decades
of his professional life. Short-term economies often prove wasteful in the long
run. In the interests of its students, the Law School has made every effort to
hold down the costs, but in the same interests, it has refused to sacrifice any
of the elements of a legal education of the highest quality. The cost of each
student's education , is only partly covered by his tuition payments. A substantial portion is paid from income from endowments and from annual gifts of
alumni and friends of Northwestern.

Candidat.es for the degree of Juris Doctor are classified as undergraduate
students. Candidates for the degree of Master of Laws (LL.M.) or the degree
of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) and students who have received their
Bachelor of Laws or Juris Doctor degrees or their equivalents and are in their
first semester of full-time graduate work pending their acceptance as candidates
for a graduate degree are classified as graduate students. All other students are
unclassified students.
Candidates for the S.J.D. and LL.M. degrees who have done full-time graduate work at this University for two semesters are charged the Resident in
Research fee unless they take courses or seminars. They are then charged at
the rate of $105 a credit hour.

Mimeograph Fee
In many courses it is necessary to supply mimeographed materials to supplement assigned casebooks. A flat charge of $12.50 each semester for undergraduates covers the cost of supplies and labor to prepare such supplementary materials. In a few instances, when instructors prepare mimeographed materials
to replace an entire casebook, an add itional charge is made.
Advance a
An advance deposit of l 00 is r equired of all applicants accepted for admission, including those granted financial assistance. This deposit is applied as
part payment of tuition and fees but is not refundable.
PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
Tuition and fees are paid by semesters, rather than by the full academic
year. Payments are clue in the first few weeks after the beginning of the tem1
upon the elate specified in the statement sent to each student after registration.
The Cashier's Office, conveniently located on the first floor of Abbott Hall,
r eceives these payments.
The Division of Student Finance, on the first floor of Abbott Hall, issues
the statements and makes all adjustments.
WITHDRAWAL AND REFUNDS
Official withdrawal forms are available from the Registrar of the School
of Law. Except for students who are compelled to withdraw because of induction on military orders, students who withdraw before the encl of one-fourth of
the term are liable for one-fourth of the tuition for the term. Students who
withdraw after the first one-fourth of the term and before the middle of the
term are held for one-half of the tuition for the term. Students who withdraw
after the middle of the term are held for full tuition. Regardless of the time
of withdrawal, students are liable for all fees. In the case of exclusion for nonpayment of tuition, the same charges are made in accordance with the above
schedule. In all cases, either the elate on which the student withdrew from
77
�classes and filed a written withdrawal notice with the Registrar of the Law
School or the date of formal exclusion is used in figuring any adjustment on
tuition.
REBATES TO FACULTY, STAFF, AND INSTRUCTORS
Undergraduate and graduate students in the following categories are eligible
to apply for certain tuition rebates of up to 50 percent: (a) full-time faculty
and staff members listed on the regular twelve-month payroll of the University;
(b) dependent sons and daughters of such persons; (c) full-time employees of
affiliated institutions; (d) gradu ate studen ts appointed as instructors and teaching part-time at Northwestern.
Information concerning these rebates and application blanks are available
at the Student Finance Office, Abbott Hall. Applications must be filed with
that office before registration each term.
STUDENT DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
The University maintains a student deposit account at the Cashier's Office,
Abbott Hall, as an accommodation to students. Students may write only counter
checks payable to themselves against their deposits. There is no charge for this
service, and no in'terest is paid on deposits.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The Law School is committed to providing all possible assistance
to a law student so that he may reach his educational goal. However,
scholarship and loan funds available for this purpose are quite limited.
Thus, not all students who demonstrate financial need may be given
financial assistance.
Each application for financial assistance is individually considered
by a committee of faculty members and each award is determined by
an individual appraisal of the student's qualifications for law study and
monetary needs. The application is considered for awards of scholarship
grants and repayable grants. The committee expects that ead1 applicant
will obtain as much financial assistance from other sources as is possible.
For example, those students who qualify for the "State Guaranteed Loan
Program" are expected to obtain such loans. Information about this
program may be obtained from the applicant's local bank.
For students of exceptional ability who have adequate resources for
law study, a limited number of honorary scholarships are awarded annually in recognition of pre-legal achievement. These special scholarships, described below, carry only a nominal financial award, so that
available funds may be devoted to the assistance of students who otherwise would be unable to study law.
78
�MAKING APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE
Application for financial assistance is accomplished by filing an application form with the Law School and by registering with the Law
School Financial Aid Service (LSFAS) of the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J. Forms for both purposes may be obtained from the
Law School on request. Special application forms are required for the
Clarion DeWitt Hardy Scholarships, described below.
The LSFAS will collect and analyze financial data on applicants'
parents (or guardians) only. This analysis will then be submitted to
the Law School for consideration with the School's regular financial
assistance application form.
An application for financial assistance need not accompany the application for admission, but should be submitted as early as possible and in
any event not later than March I of the year of proposed entrance. Information on when to apply for admission appears on page 73.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS
In addition to substantial sums provided by the University and to
the generous annual gifts of alumni for scholarship purposes in the Law
School, the following special scholarships and awards are available:

students a t schools approved by the American Bar Association. Inquiries
concerning the terms and conditions of these loans should be directed
to the Office of Admissions.
Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity has inaugurated a program of offering loans from its Endowment Fund to worthy student members of the
fraternity who need such aid to complete their law school education.
The maximum amount of such loans is $500.

�GRADUATE STUDY: ADMISSION AND
FELLOWSHIPS
The graduate program of the Law School has several objectives. One
purpose is to offer to recent law graduates who have demonstrated
superior proficiency in the study of law, as well as to active practitioners,
an opportunity not only to broaden their legal knowledge but also to
study and engage in research in particular fields of interest. The School
also desires to make its facilities available to law teachers and prospective law teachers interested in advanced study and original research and
writing under faculty guidance. In addition, the program is intended to
provide outstanding graduates of foreign law schools with an opportunity to expand their knowledge of American legal processes and to
engage in comparative legal research.
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY AND TO CANDIDACY
FOR ADVANCED DEGREES
The admission of students who have been awarded a first degree in
law to graduate study or to candidacy for the degree of Master of Laws or
Doctor of Juridical Science is at the discretion of the Committee on
Graduate Studies.
Although foreign graduate students whose native language is not
English are eligible for admission as graduate students, they normally
are not admitted as candidates for a degree until they have completed
one semester's work as graduate students and have demonstrated during
that time their capacity to complete successfully the degree requirements.
Experience indicates that foreign students whose native language is
86
�not English have great difficulty in meeting the requirements unless they
have a good command of written and spoken English.
Application forms and additional information may be secured by
writing to the Committee on Graduate Studies, Northwestern University
School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
DEGREES
Two graduate degrees are granted: the degree of Master of Laws
(LL.M.) and the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.).
Master of Laws (LL.M.). The degree of Master of Laws is conferred
upon students who have obtained a first degree in law from this University or another having equivalent requirements; in unusual cases, this
requirement may be waived by a vote of the faculty. Also, such students
must fulfill the following requirements:
1. The completion of one academic year of residence in this School,
during which time credit must be obtained for not less than 10 semesterhours in courses or seminars not previously counted toward the first
degree in law. Students who have not previously taken, for their first
degree in law, a course or seminar in the general field of jurisprudence
must include such work in their- program. Each graduate student's
course program is individually planned in relation to the student's
choice of a thesis topic. To the extent necessary to establish a background for his research, the Graduate Committee may at its discretion
require a graduate student to take course and seminar work in addition
to the minimum prescribed above. During their year of residence, graduate students are required to maintain a superior scholarship record.
2. The completion of a thorough study of some approved legal topic
and the presentation of a paper embodying its results. The candidate's
thesis must be suitable for publication in the Northwestern University
Law Review or the Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology and Police
Science.
3. The passing of an examination to be prescribed by the faculty.
Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.). The degree of Doctor of Juridical Science is conferred upon students who have obtained the degree
of Juris Doctor from this or some other university or college having
equivalent requirements for that degree or who have obtained the degree
of Bachelor of Laws from another university or college whose requirements for that degree are equivalent to those prescribed by this School
for the degree of Juris Doctor and who have fulfilled the following
requirements:
1. The completion of one academic year of residence in this School.
87
�The time required for the completion of a candidate's work, however,
normally runs far beyond the period of residence required.
2. The completion of a study to be approved by the faculty or its
designated committee. This study shall be one involving original research
and must be completed in such manner, both as to subject matter and
literary form, as to be, in the opinion of the faculty, a significant and
scholarly contribution to legal science.
3. The completion of such other work, if any, as may be directed by
the Dean in the particular case.
4. The passing of an examination to be prescribed by the faculty.
Faculty policy restricts this degree to candidates who have had substantial experience either in practicing or teaching law and who, through
their published writings, have evidenced their capacity for advanced
graduate work.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
Full information concerning tuition and fees for graduate study
appears on pages 76-79 of the bulletin.
The expenses of an unmarried student for the academic year, including books, board and room, and incidentals (but excluding tuition
and fees) should be approximately $2,000.
Accomodations for both married and unmarried graduate students
are available on the University's Chicago campus.
FELLOWSHIP IN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES
The James Nelson Raymond Fellowship is awarded on a competitive
basis to applicants, domestic or foreign, interested in any field of legal
study, including international legal studies. The amount of the fellowship is $3,800. After provision for payment of tuition and fees, the
balance is paid in ten installments, the first on September 15.
Normally, fellowships are not awarded to foreign students who already
have spent a year in this country under another scholarship grant. Fellowships are granted for one year only.
Graduate fellowships do not provide for travel expenses. Students
must make their own travel arrangements. Successful fellowship applicants should also bring sufficient funds for personal expenses from the
time of arrival until September 15.
THE CRIMIN AL LAW PROGRAM
In addition to the basic courses and the semmars m Criminal Law
and Criminal Law Administration, the Law School offers substantial
action-oriented training for students, and particularly graduate students,
88
�who have a particular interest in the practice of criminal law or in legal
assistance to law enforcement agencies.
By virtue of a recent grant from the Ford Foundation, the Law
School established a program for the training of law school graduates
interested in careers as criminal law practitioners, as either prosecutors
or defense counsel. The program combines graduate education in criminal law administration and actual litigation experience either in the
office of a prosecuting attorney or as appointed counsel for indigent
defendants. The period of training is twelve months, starting in August.
The annual stipend is $8, 150. Participants normally are not candidates
for a degree.
The training of law school graduates to become police legal advisors
is another one of the School's criminal law projects. It too was made
possible by grants from the Ford Foundation, one in 1964 and another
in 1968. Under the initial Police Legal Advisor Program, the police
legal advisor trainee spent one year in residence and one year in the
field, assigned to a selected metropolitan police department, at the encl
of which time h e became eligible for an LL.M. degree. A number of
the graduates are now holding high :ranking positions in the field of
law enforcement. The need and demand for police legal advisors
throughout the country warranted an acceleration of the training period
and the period of training has been reduced to one semester in residence
and, in some cases, six months in the field. A partially tax-exempt
stipend ranging up to $850 a month, plus tuition and fees, is available.
No graduate degree is offered, however.
Additional information concerning the Criminal Law Program may
be obtained by writing to Professor Fred E. Inbau, Northwestern University School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.

�In this century four distinguished scholars
and educators have led Northwestern's
School of Law. The present Dean is John
Ritchie who assumed the post in 1957.
"Old Northwestern!
That's where we learned our law."

The School
and its
Alumni
The associations formed in the years of study at the Law School are
lifelong. The School, through its Placement Service, offers assistance
to the graduate in finding a position which promises satisfaction both in
economic terms and in self-realization and contribution. The School's
alumni assist in keeping alive memories and friendships of student days
and provide the support so important to the ·School.
PLACEMENT
At graduation the Northwestern law student
the century-long
procession of Law School alumni. A wide range of choice is open. To
provide its graduates with advice, guidance, and a broad selection of
opportunities for their legal careers, the Law School maintains a placement service under the direction of Assistant Dean Lewis F. Treleaven.
Through general announcements to the profession and particular
inquiries, the Placement Service gathers information on professional
90
�opportumt1es and openings, compiles complete listing of these opportunities, maintains files for the use of prospective graduates, and posts
announcements of new openings to keep the student's information current.
While there are many who practice law, the demand for well trained
able young lawyers has not diminished. The rising level of starting
salaries gives evidence of the professional need. Each year the Placement Service receives inquiries and requests from law firms, corporations, and government agencies for many times the number of available
graduates.
A majority of the Law School's alumni are engaged in the private
practice of law. Some have chosen to remain in Chicago, while others
have settled in cities and towns throughout the United States. In large
firms and in individual practice, Northwestern graduates rank as leaders
of the bar in nearly every state in the nation and in several foreign countries. In service to their profession and their clients, they have occupied
the presidencies of the
state,
~ I and local bar associations.
Not all alumni elect the rewards of private practice. Furthering a
strong tradition of public service, a number of those in each graduating
class accept positions with government at the national, state, or local
level. Working with prosecuting and investigating agencies, on government boards and commissions, and on the staffs of government departments, they are often vested with major responsibilities and acquire
wide experience early in their professional lives. After a period of
government service, m any enter private practice, where their experience
in government is of great value. Others make public service a career and
attain high public office, elective or appointive.
The roster of Law School alumni includes governors and United
States Senators, cabinet members, department heads, diplomats, mayors,
attorney generals, prosecutors, legislators, and government advisers.
The strength of the Northwestern tradition of public service is illustrated by a striking statistic: in more than half the Presidential campaigns of the past seventy years, a Law School alumnus has been either
the candidate or a strong contender for the nomination of one of the
two major parties.
In the judiciary, Northwestern men have served with distinction on
the benches of the highest courts, both federal and state. For the topranking students, there are opportunities for clerkships with justices and
judges of the federal and state courts.
Openings in the field of teaching law are not numerous, and the
financial rewards are not great; however, through the years Northwestern,
for its size, has contributed more than its share of the nation's law
teachers. Its graduates have joined the faculties of nearly all the major
law schools in the United States, and many Northwestern men have
91
�Alumni gather in the Law School garden for a reunion.
served as deans, university presidents, and leaders in other branches of
education.
An expanding field of opportunity beyond the limits of traditional
practice is offered the Law School graduate interested in business, industry, and finance. In increasing recognition of the values of legal training,
corporations, banks, and companies in a wide range of enterprise seek
Law School graduates not only for their legal staffs but for executive
positions. Attractive starting salaries and opportunities for advancement
92
�in management have combined to draw substantial number of graduates
of the Law School. Alumni have risen to principal executive posts in
many of the nation's largest corporations in such fields as transportation,
oil, retailing, insurance, finance, public utilities, and manufacturing.
From the array of professional opportunities open to him, the graduating student must choose for himself. It is the function of the Law
School's Placement Service to aid him in exploring the possibilities and to
arrange the necessary contacts.
Each year a large number of law firms from major cities throughout
the United States send partners to the Law School to interview advanced
students. Government agencies, corporations, and banks also send repre,
sentatives to the School for interviews. In addition to the hundreds of
personal interviews conducted annually at the Law School, the Placement
Service arranges for interviews of students in large numbers at law offices,
government agencies, and corporate headquarters.
A biographical summary is prepared and duplicated for each prospective graduate seeking a position, and appropriate letters of introduction
and recommendation are furnished.
Beyond its service to current graduates, the Placement Service also
handles the temporary placement of students with law firms and government agencies for summer vacation periods, in Chicago and elsewhere,
typically between the student's second and third years, and the placement
of alumni of earlier years who are returning from military service or are
seeking a change of position.
THE LAW ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Over the years, the Law School has enjoyed the loyal support of its
alumni. They commemorated the Law School's centennial by contributing substantially to the construction of Robert R. McCormick Hall and
the Owen L. Coon Library, and their generous annual gifts to the Law
Alumni Fund provide scholarships and significant support for the general
program of the School.
Many alumni assist directly in the educational program. A number
serve as judges in the Moot Court program. In addition, alumni are
frequently asked to draw upon their practical experience and special
knowledge in particular fields of law by participating in course work
or addressing student groups. They render invaluable assistance in connection with the placement program.
Each year alumni reunions are held during the meetings of the American Bar Association and various state bar associations. In addition, an
alumni dinner is held each spring in Chicago with a prominent guest
speaker. Also, a faculty-alumni luncheon is held in Chicago each fall.

�"Where there is arbitrary power, there is no
occasion to study the law; when the law begins
to reign, its teachers and practicers come forth."
-David Dudley Field, at the
dedication of the Law School,
September 21, 1859.
LAW STUDY AT NORTHWESTERN
The first Jaw school in its state and region
and among the oldest in the nation,
Northwestern enjoys a rich heritage. For more
than a century the School of Law has been
dedicated to the education of men and women
for all branches of endeavor in the law under
the highest standards of academic and professional excellence. This dedication marks
the character of the Law School today.
Long identified with progressive movements
in legal education, the Law School has always
sought to prepare students for the broad
challenge of the future. To this end, the
program of instruction is designed to foster an
understanding of the principles that guide
growth and change in the law.
Early in its history the Law School adopted
a policy of limited enrollment to promote
educational quality. Today Northwestern
remains a law school of medium size, small in
comparison with others of national standing,
with approximately 500 students seeking their
first degree in law. A faculty of substantial size
permits a close working relationship between
student and teacher, fostering professional
training of the highest order and the
development of each student's unique
capabilities.
THE SCHOOL
Unlike the physical sciences, legal learning
requires no elaborate apparatus. For the
serious student, however, a stimulating and
congenial environment contributes to the
educational process. Professional training of
the highest order requires more than a
comprehensive library and classrooms designed
for effective teaching. There must be places for
reflection and concentration. There must be
arrangements conducive to informal
interchange of thought and opinion between
student and student and between student and
teacher. The atmosphere should imbue the
student of law with an appreciation for the
ancient traditions of the bar and for the
professional heritage he will share.
LOCATION OF IBE CAMPUSES
The Law School is situated on the shore of
Lake Michigan near the center of Chicago. To
the south, along the lake front, lie Grant Park,
a series of yacht basins, recreational facilities,
museums of art, science, and natural history, a
planetarium, and an aquarium. To the north
extends the Gold Coast, an area of residential
apartments separated from the lake by a
continuous series of parks, beaches, golf
courses, and boating facilities. Nearby, to the
west, is one of the city's centers of art and
entertainment. A half-mile to the southwest is
the Loop, the central business and shopping
area of Chicago and the legal and financial
center of the region. Here, convenient for
student visits, are located the offices of federal,
state, and municipal government, including
trial and appellate courts of both the state and
federal governments, ranging from the local
small claims courts to the United States Court
of Appeals.
The Law School constitutes part of the
self-contained professional campus of
Northwestern University, where several large
buildings house the Medical School and the
Dental School. Also on the campus are Thorne
Hall, containing the main auditorium, Abbott
Hall, the 18-story student residence for the men
and women enrolled in these graduate schools,
and hospitals which are members of the
Northwestern University-McGaw Medical
Center.
Living and studying on a self-sufficient
graduate campus, the law student remains free
from the distractions of undergraduate life.
The original campus of the University, where
9
�LAW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The Law School itself consists of a complex
of buildings arranged to form a quadrangle
occupying the block between Chicago Avenue
and Superior Street west of Lake Shore Drive.
The original buildings, Levy Mayer Hall and
the Elbert H. Gary Library, were completed in
1926. Robert R. McCormick Hall and the
Owen L. Coon Library were completed in
1960. The quadrangle completely encloses a
garden.
In interior design and ornament, the
buildings of the School are rich in the lore of
the law. About 2,500 portraits, engravings,
etchings, and photographs, collected by the late
Dean John H. Wigmore in the United States,
England, and on the Continent, are hung about
the School to illustrate the men and events of
the law throughout history and throughout the
world.
CLASSROOMS
Dean James A. Rahl
the main body of about 6,500 undergraduate
students and 2,500 graduate students are
enrolled, is twelve miles north in suburban
Evanston.
The Evanston campus, available and
accessible to Law School students for cultural
activities, athletic events, and interdisciplinary
seminars and contacts has been the focus of
the First Plan for the Seventies, the initial
phase of a long-range program to maintain the
University as a major center of teaching,
scholarship, and research. The $12 million
Northwestern University Library, key academic
facility of the First Plan, opened in 1970.
Other new facilities are the Norris University
Center, Lindheimer Astronomical Research
Center, 0. T. Hogan Biological Sciences
Building, Frances Searle Building ( the
communicative disorders center), Nathaniel
Leverone Hall·( the Graduate School of
Management's new headquarters on the
Evanston campus), School of Education
Building, Rebecca Crown Center (the
University's administration building) and
severai new student residences.
10
The Law School contains seven major
classrooms. These generous facilities make it
possible to schedule a number of classes at the
same time. Most classes, including all those in
the first year, are divided into sections. As a
consequence, the number of students attending
a class seldom exceeds eighty-five and is often
much smaller. Such classes, small by general
law school standards, encourage responsible
participation by each student in the probing,
analytical discussion that is the mark of legal
education at Northwestern. Lincoln Hall, the
largest of the classrooms, was modeled after the
British House of Commons in dimensions and
seating arrangement.
In addition to the major classrooms, the
School has four seminar rooms scaled and
furnished to provide comfortable and congenial
surroundings for smaller study groups. The
seminars of the second and third years meet
here, numbering typically from ten to twenty
students, seated informally around a table with
one or more faculty members for a detailed
analysis of problem areas lying at the frontiers
of legal development. In such study, the
student necessarily bears a large measure of
responsibility for giving direction and substance
to the discussion.
For practice and instruction in the arts of
advocacy, the School has a fully equipped
modern courtroom. Complete with witness
stand, jury box, counsel tables, and seating for
spectators, it accommodates not only mock
appeals but full-scale practice trials.
�LIBRARY
The indispensable instruments of the
lawyer's calling are books, and a
comprehensi\'.e and well arranged library is
essential training for the profession. The
library with its associated research facilities is
the heart of the Law School.
The Northwestern Law School Library
consists of two buildings, integrated physically
and administered as a unit, the Elbert H. Gary
Library and the Owen L. Coon Library. In
combination, the library occupies a full side of
the Law School quadrangle extending from
Chicago Avenue to Superior Street and
includes four floors of working area. The
Elbert H. Gary Library, part of the original
Law School buildings, is named for the donor
of the building who also established the Gary
Fund, which provided for the acquisition of
substantial parts of the original collection and
also provides in part for the current purchase
of books. The Owen L. Coon Library, built in
1960, is named in recognition of a substantial
gift from the Owen L. Coon Foundation.
In its collection of about 300,000 volumes,
Northwestern has one of the largest law school
libraries in the Western Hemisphere. More
important than size, however, is the utility of
the collection. The main reading room of the
library occupies the highest floor of the
building and is divided by shelved partitions
into dozens of secluded but well-lighted alcoves
fitted with large working tables and chairs to
provide convenient accommodations close by
the books. The arrangement is repeated on the
lower floors, with the addition of a number of
individual carrels for sustained and
concentrated research. Included on a lower
level are glass-walled typing areas with
individual soundproof carrels open to any
student to type a research paper or to
reorganize his course notes.
The library is operated with an open-stack
policy to bring readers and books together
without unnecessary formalities. The student is
free to browse and to search at will through the
collection, and he may call upon either the
expert full-time staff of sixteen or the eighteen
assistants if he is in need of guidance, aid, or
suggestions. The library is open daily
throughout the year and in the evenings as well
whenever the School is in session. To provide
for the heavy demands of faculty research, a
separate working collection is maintained in the
Faculty Library.
The course of instruction has been designed
not only to provide basic instruction in the use
of legal materials but to encourage full use of
11
�the library's large resources and to afford every
student extensive opportunity for independent
scholarly research.
The Law School Library collection includes
substantially all the reported decisions of rhe
courts of the United States, its separate states
and territories, Great Britain and the
Commonwealth, together with their statutes
and session laws and subsidiary publicationsdigests, encyclopedias, annotated cases,
textbooks, periodicals, bibliographiesnecessary to form a complete working
collection for every legal system in the English
language. A well selected comprehensive
collection of United States government
documents is maintained for the teaching
program and for the use of the legal profession
generally. A complete collection of documents
is available at the University Library on the
Evanston campus, which is a designated
depository library. This Anglo-American
collection is supplemented by a selection of
works in the fields of history, economics,
government, and the other social and
behavioral sciences. The library also receives
every current legal periodical of general interest
printed in the English language.
12
More than one-third of the tot,al collection
is made up of works in the fields of foreign
and international law. The comprehensive
materials in foreign law include the codes,
treatises, decisions, and journals of all major
European countries and Japan, and good
working collections in Latin-American law.
At an early date the library began to build a
complete collection in the law of nations,
going beyond the domestic laws of the separate
countries to emphasize the rules of law
controlling their relations with each other. This
large collection includes the documents of the
international organizations, the international
courts, treaty series and official diplomatic
documents, treatises and monographs and
periodicals from all parts of the world. The
collection permits original and useful work to
be carried on in the field of public international
law.
Holdings in other specialized fields include a
comprehensive collection of treatises,
periodicals and documents in criminal law and
its administration, and a special collection of
materials in aeronautics, including aviation law,
commerce, and other works in the field
exclusive of technical engineering publications.
In addition, the library includes outstanding
collections of medieval law, jurisprudence, legal
history, comparative law, and valuable
resources in Roman law. Especially notable are
the Williams Collection of Legal Instruments
dating from A.O. 1300 to 1700, which comprises
more than five hundred original manuscript
instruments executed in connection with landed
estates, and the George W. Shaw Collection of
Early European Law, established in 1949 by
Joseph L. Shaw (LL.B., 1903).
The Law School Library is independent in
administration and organization, but its
comprehensive resources are supplemented in
specialized areas through inter-library loans
and other cooperative arrangements with the
general University Library, departmental
libraries, and the major public, educational,
and legal collections in the region.
A special feature of the library is its
distinguished rare book collection, housed in
the handsome Hardy Scholars Treasure Room
adjoining the main reading room. These early
volumes, numbering some 2,500, have been
acquired through the years and represent a
variety of fields. Many are first editions of the
classics of the law, including a number of
manuscripts and incunabula (books printed
before 1500). A number are either unique or
the only copies in the Western Hemisphere.
�The value of these books is not primarily
antiquarian, however. They have been
gathered and selected because they are
indispensable for effective legal research in
areas that may be vital both to scholars and
practitioners.
Although the reserve facilities of the library
have been constructed with foresight to
accommodate an eventual collection twice the
size of the current holdings, provision has also
been made for the use of the materials of legal
research of the future. A section of the library
is fully fitted with the basic equipment for use
of microfilm and microcards, designed to
replace conventional books and to ameliorate
their problems of bulk and deterioration.
As a practitioner of a learned profession, the
lawyer is more than a craftsman. To encourage
a wide-ranging interest among the students, a
section of the main reading room has been set
aside for casual reading in fields of current or
general significance. Comfortably furnished,
the browsing area offers current periodicals and
a broad selection of biographical and
miscellaneous works.
For a number of years Paul Cutler (J.D.,
1931) annually has provided funds to enrich
the coliection in fields such as biography,
history, political science and literature for the
Cutler Browsing Alcove.
In 1969, the Smart Family Foundation made
a substantial grant for the establishment of a
collection on urban affairs.
Two gifts to the Law School in 1970
provided for the purchase of books for the
library. A substantial bequest of Louis
Manierre established the George Manierre
Collection, and a bequest of Cyrus H. Adams
increased the library's endowment fund.
In 1971 the library received a substantial
bequest from the late Mrs. Agnes Millar
Wigmore. The income from this fund is to be
used for the purchase of books.
LIBRARY FUNDS
In addition to a general University
appropriation, the Law School Library is
supported by a number of special endowments.
The major endowment funds for the Library
are the Gary Endowment Fund, established in
1925 by Elbert H. Gary (LL.B., 1867), then
Chairman of the United States Steel
Corporation, and the Norris E. Crull
Endowment Fund, established in 1966 in
memory of Norris E. Crull (LL.B., 1909).
In 1947, under the auspices of the Law
Alumni Association, the John Henry Wigmore
Fund was established. Barnet Hodes (LL.B.,
1921) in 1960 established the Barnet Hodes
Fund for the creation and maintenance of a
collection on local government. In 1967,
Joseph Rosenberg (LL.B., 1910) and Mrs.
Rosenberg established the Judge Hugo M.
Friend Memorial Fund, and the Class of 1965
established the Herbert Dacks Memorial Fund
in memory of their classmate, Herbert Dacks.
The Philip A. Shapiro Endowment Fund was
established in 1968 in memory of Judge Philip
A. Shapiro (J.D., 1932) of the Circuit Court of
Cook County, and Walter H. Moses established
the Adolph Moses EndowmentFund.

�OTHER SCHOOL FACILITIES
Although hours in the classroom and the
library predominate both for students and for
faculty, there must be provision for both the
informal give-and-take discussion in which the
student lawyer hones his skill in analysis and
expression, and for moments of relaxation.
Lowden Hall, named for the first of the
School's alumni to serve as governor of Illinois,
is the principal School lounge and is rich with
reminders of the history of law and the Law
School. Here coffee and sweet rolls are
available to students and faculty during the
morning hours. On the lower level are lockers,
food and beverage dispensers, and two rooms
equipped with tables for a coffee break or light
luncheon.
Separate offices are provided for student
activities, including the Junior Bar Association,
the Law Review, the Journal of Criminal Law
and Criminology, the Julius H. Miner Moot
Court Competition, and the JBA Bookstore.
Faculty offices, which open directly onto
main corridors for access without formalities
or intermediaries, foster frequent and fruitful
informal meetings between student and teacher.
STUDENT RESIDENCE
Living and working together, law students
gain advantages that are significant if not
readily apparent. Casual conversation and
earnest discussion contribute to the
development of the prospective lawyer's powers
and personality. The stimulation and discipline
students give one another have an impact that
is directly evident in the classroom.
The ancient ancestors of modern law
schools, the English Inns of Court, depended
solely upon the influences of students' living,
eating, and arguing informally together to
produce men of professional qualification. For
the student who resides in Abbott Hall, the
Law School becomes the center of everyday
life. The library and the classrooms are
accessible, the distractions of commuting are
avoided, and the student can concentrate his
time and attention on preparing for the practice
of law.
For these reasons, all law students except
married students and those whose homes are
within easy commuting distance of the School
are encouraged to live in Abbott Hall. It is
designed to provide convenient and attractive
living quarters and to provide an atmosphere
for development of all those qualities of
personality which are so essential to a lawyer,
but which for the most part fall outside the
sphere of formal training.
The building, eighteen stories high, overlooks
Lake Michigan on Lake Shore Drive from
Huron to Superior Street. It is constructed of
Indiana limestone and conforms in
architectural style to the classroom buildings on
the campus. The first two floors and the
basement contain common rooms for social
and recreational purposes; the upper sixteen
have private accommodations, with a lounge on
each of the upper floors. The first floor
contains general offices and a series of shops.
On the second floor are a large student lounge
and the dining rooms. Facilities for handball,
squash, weight lifting, exercise, billiards, and
table tennis are available in the basement.
Floors are reserved for the students of the
School of Law. There is also space reserved
for women law students. Double studybedrooms are available. Rooms are equipped
with desks, dressers, and bed~ with innerspring
mattresses. All rooms are provided with chairs,
draperies, and lamps. Bed linens are not
furnished. Each room has a double closet.
(Trunks are stored in the baggage room in the
basement.)
The cost of room and board in Abbott Hall
is reasonable and is below the rates charged

for other desirable accommodations in the
same part of the city. The average room rate
for the academic year is $400 for each
occupant. Before a room is occupied, a
contract for the academic year is signed by the
applicant.
Students eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner
cafeteria style in Abbott Hall's spacious dining
rooms overlooking Lake Michigan. Hot and
cold foods are also available in the vending
canteen on the second floor. Students may pay
cash for a la carte meals, or they may sign
board contracts. Students who choose the
contract plan get 17 meals per week and have
the privilege of unlimited portions at all meals.
The average daily cost of meals on a cash
basis is $3.50. The cost of a school year board
contract is $622.
The Division of Student Finance issues and
makes all adjustments on the residence bills
for Abbott Hall. Rental bills are issued for
payments on October 1, 'January 1, and April
1. Bills are due upon presentation and are
payable at the Cashier's Office in Abbott Hall.
Applications, together with a $50 room

STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The Student Health Service for all men and
women in schools on the Chicago campus is
located in the Montgomery Ward Building,
Room 2-009 of the Medical School. Medical
services and hospital insurance available are
described in the Student Health Bulletin each
student receives upon registration. Students of
the Law School registered for six or more
semester hours are eligible for all benefits and
services. Supplemental hospital insurance
programs are available for students and
dependents at nominal rates.
To initiate a student's medical record, a
physical examination by a personal physician
before entrance to the University is required.
The clinic is open daily except Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Physicians' hours are posted on the Student
Health Service bulletin board. In an emergency, a student may report to the nurse in
charge, Room 2-009, during regular clinic
hours. Acute illness occurring outside those
hours should be reported to the emergency
room at N orthwestem Memorial Hospital.

�"[Here the] teaching will .. . give men what
they want to know when they go out to fight,
but . .. it will send them forth with a pennon as
well as with a sword , to keep before their eyes in
the long battle the little flutter that means ideals,
honor, yes, even romance, in all the dull details."
-Justice Oliver W endell Holmes,
at the dedication of earlier Law
School buildings, Octob er 20,
1902.
THE COURSE OF INSTRUCTION
The purpose of the Law School is to prepare
its graduates for effective service in all fields of
law-to qualify men and women not only for
the private practice of the pr?fession but for
careers in government service, in commerce
and finance, and in legal education. The
curriculum does not concentrate upon
imparting knowledge of the legal rules
applicable in any one jurisdiction or region.
Rather, it concentrates upon the development
of the fundamental capacities and skills of the
lawyer.
Human activity is infinitely varied and ever
changing. Law, bringing order and direction
to the relations of men, involves a continuous
process of growth and adjustment. Every legal
problem and each case that comes to the
lawyer, is, in a sense, unique. Effective
professional education must, therefore, prepare
the student to deal with situations never before
encountered, to direct the resources of the law
to new fields of human endeavor, and to handle
not the problems of the past but the cases of
the future.
INTELLECTUAL CHALLENGE
Reflecting this objective, th~ program of
instruction in the Law School differs markedly
from the usual undergraduate instruction. It
requires, of course, diligence and effort for a
mastery of the formal materials of the course.
Beyond this foundation the instruction
demands thought and initiative of the
individual student to extend his learning
beyond the limits of the materials and to
stretch his powers of analysis. As the lawyer
must deal with new situations throughout his
professional life, so the student lawyer is taught
to transcend rote learning and to find his way
in unfamiliar contexts. The result is an
16
intellectual challenge that is both rewarding
and stimulating. The individual student is
spurred to go so-far as his mind and industry
will carry him.
CLASSES
The law student typically attends classes for
fifteen or sixteen hours a week. Class meetings
are scheduled throughout the morning and
afternoon Monday through Friday with time
for study between classes. There are occasional
special class meetings on Saturday, although
generally that day is available for uninterrupted
individual study and research. Two or three
times as many hours are devoted to individual
study as are spent in class. Time spent in
co-curricular activities and independent
research must be added to the requirements
of course work. The study of law, therefore,
is a full-time occupation.
In a typical Law School term, the student's
class attendance is distributed among four or
five courses. Some of the subjects represent
ancient categories of the law. Course titles
such as Criminal Law, Property, Contracts, and
Torts go back, as separate topics, to the days of
Lord Coke or Blackstone. But life has changed
since those early days in the law, and even
these traditional subjects have altered
substantially in content. Today in Torts, the
focus is on such disparate objects as the
automobile and the atom and upon the legal
problem each presents to an energized society.
Property law today concerns itself not only
with ancient learning but with topics such as
urban renewal and air rights. Criminal Law
more and more is concerned with psychiatry,
with modern correctional theories, and with
protection of the fundamental rights of the
accused. The law of Contracts today finds
�itself dealing with and adjusting to the subject
matter of tomorrow- plastics, missiles, the
building of skyscrapers, and the hiring of
research and development skills.
The changing character of law is reflected in
the content of traditional courses, altered to
keep pace with a changing society. It is
reflected, too, in the newer courses introduced
by the Law School into the law curriculum to
deal with emerging areas of legal service. The
lawyer is a full-time student for only one period
in his professional life. Within the limits of the
possible, he must be educated in that brief span
for the responsibilities of the legal profession,
not just for the day, but for the half century
of lawyer's work that lies ahead. Labor Law,
Taxation and Administrative Law were
introduced into the basic program of the Law
School during the formative years of those
subjects, anticipating the current recognition of
their significance. Courses and seminars in
International Law, Scientific Evidence,
Comparative Law and International Business
Transactions are typical of other offerings
designed to meet the needs of the profession
in the years to come.
FACULTY
The basic instruction in the Law School
program is conducted by the full-time resident
faculty, who make teaching their first
responsibility. Each member is experienced in
private practice, in responsible government
posts, or both. Many are called upon for
consultation and advice by government
agencies and private groups and are active in
the organizations and affairs of the legal
profession and the community. Their scholarly
activities include the delivery of lectures and
addresses before legal and public bodies and
the preparation of learned treatises and articles.
Such activities serve to complement and to
enrich the instruction. The casebooks and
other teaching materials for a majority of the
courses offered in the School were prepared by
the faculty members who teach those courses,
and many are widely used, standard works in
their respective fields .
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
In recognition of the lawyer's function of
articulating the conflicting interests of society,
instruction in modern law schools is conducted
principally through participation by the class.
No longer does the student lawyer listen
passively in a lecture audience. To maximize
the opportunity for active participation
afforded each student, Northwestern Law
School has adopted a curricular policy
emphasizing instruction through relatively
small classes and seminars. First-year courses
enrolling 175 students or more have no place
in the Law School program. The entering
student will find himself attending classes with
a group of approximately half that size.
Seminars are limited in enrollment and
commonly range in size from ten to twenty
students. Advanced individual work is
conducted under the personal supervision of
one of more members of the faculty.
�Instruction of this kind requires a low
student-faculty ratio. The program of the
School is based upon the conviction that this
concentration of educational resources upon
the individual student is the most effective way
to develop the skills that distinguish the legal
profession.
The Case Method
The case method of teaching, employed
principally in the formal courses, particularly
those offered in the first year, is founded upon
the premise that the first objective of law
training is to develop an understanding on the
part of the student of how and why the courts
decide cases as they do. The method was
adopted at the Law School in the earliest years
of its development. The materials of study are
the actual decisions of courts, embodied in
written opinions rendered in real and disputed
cases, rather than a textbook compendium of
legal rules. The cases themselves are the
specimens of legal controversy to be examined
and dissected. The student is brought to the
level of a participant in the proceeding,
analyzing each stage in the course of litigation
and each step in the process of decision.
Through painstaking scrutiny of a large
number of cases, the student shares vicariously
the experience of the lawyers and judges who
conducted them, and thereby gains an
understanding of the judicial process based on
observation of the law in action at first hand.
Although the case method varies in its use
with the approach of the professor, the
teaching styles grouped under this heading have
certain characteristic elements in common.
Under the case system it is essential that
students prepare thoroughly and intensively
before class. The course materials for this
preparation consist of a casebook, a collection
of actual decisions in related kinds of
controversy. The student at Northwestern will
find that the authors of many of his casebooks
are his own professors, authorities in their
respective fields. The class session in a casetaught course typically does not offer a lecture
but rather a discussion of several of these cases,
conducted in the manner of a Socratic dialogue
between the teacher and students. Questions
are designed to test the student's understanding
of the case, to identify the considerations that
controlled the decision, and to probe its
implications for similar situations and its
relation to other decisions.
18
Although the professor may upon occasion
depart from the interrogating role to explain
the background of a legal problem or to give
direction to the class discussion, the essence of
the case method is the collective probing and
searching in which the student's own powers of
reason and analysis are tempered and
developed. The system is in fact designed to
revert to the student, after he has digested and
evaluated the wide range of ideas developed in
group discussion, the task of developing for
himself an understanding, first, of what courts
and administrative agencies do and why they
do it and, second, of how to participate
effectively in the process. From the outset of
his law school career the student is thus led to
do what he has to do throughout his
professional life-think, analyze, and decide on
his own initiative.
The Problem Method
The problem method, an instructional
technique originated at the Law School and
now widely employed throughout legal
education, is used in many second and
third-year courses. Here the emphasis is not
upon the cases or adminstrative decisions as
such. The focus of the student's work and of
the class session is rather a set of facts raising
legal problems for which there may indeed be
no authoritative solution. The student's task is
to take the available materials in the forms of
decisions, statutes, and administrative rulings
and to construct or create his own solution to
the problem.
Perhaps the problem is set at the stage where
the businessman asks for advice on a proposed
transaction. Perhaps the transaction has
already taken place and the problem concerns
the consequences to be attached to the
transaction by the federal or state government
by way of taxation or regulation. In short, the
problems are much like those which come to
the lawyer in actual practice, and in fact the
problems are frequently drawn from life.
Consultative practice by some members of the
faculty and the generally close relationship
between the School and the practicing
profession combine to provide the student in a
problem-method course with an experience that
closely approximates the practice of law.
Characteristically in a course taught by this
method, the student submits before the class
session a short memorandum solution to the
problem, based on his analysis of relevant
source material. In the class session, he or one
�of his fellow students is invited to explain the
legal issues presented by the problem situation
and the views he takes of those issues.
Discussion, often vigorous, follows.
Practice Courses
Practice courses preserve in the Law School
the advantages which accrued to the aspiring
attorney in an earlier day when there were no
law schools and a man trained himself for the
bar by working in the office of an established
lawyer, observing the practice of law, and
learning through trial and error the arts and
skills of the profession.
In 1910, Northwestern introduced to legal
education the idea of giving law students actual
experience in practice through the medium of
assisting in the provision of legal services to the
poor. This idea has been a part of the
curriculum since that time, and is now
developed in the course knowh as Legal
Assistance Clinic. In this course, students
study legal problems of the poor and then serve
in the Northwestern Legal Assistance Clinic
under the supervision of faculty members. The
Clinic handles all types of civif cases, and the
student is given practical experience and
faculty instruction in consulting with clients,
interviewing witnesses, and preparing pleadings
and other documents. The student also assists
the lawyers in the Clinic in the preparation for
and conduct of trials. The training is similar in
many respects to that provided during the
internship period in medical education.
During his first year, the student is instructed
in the techniques of oral and written argument
in the course in Moot Court. Practicing the
lawyer's skills, he is required to prepare a
written brief in compliance with prevailing
professional standards and to argue his case,
opposed by a fellow student under courtroom
conditions, before an appellate court composed
of prominent alumni and faculty members.
This instruction is continued on a voluntary
basis in the second year in the Julius H. Miner
Moot Court Competition.
In the third year, the student is offered a
choice of practice courses in the trial of a
lawsuit from its beginning to its end. The
instruction provides the student with actual
experience in examining witnesses, presenting
evidence, arguing to a jury, and the like. The
student thus learns by doing, not merely by
precept, what the trial lawyer must be able to
do in court.
Most of the lawyer's practice is carried on in
his office, not in the courtroom. To prepare
its graduates for the work of counseling,
advising, and planning, the Law School offers
a number of courses in which the student is
called upon to draw the legal instruments and
documents which the practicing attorney must
be able to prepare.
Seminars
Seminars are offered in the second and third
years in a variety of fields. Here the student is
free to select subjects of special interest to him
and to explore new areas of the law. In a
group commonly numbering from ten to
twenty, with the guidance of a senior faculty
member, the student engages in intensive
individual work on some aspect of the general
subject embraced by the seminar. Many
seminars cut across traditional disciplinary
boundaries and include materials and
participants from such fields as economics,
sociology, psychiatry, and political science.
Often the seminar student writes a major paper
and presents this product of his own research
and analysis for the critical consideration of the
seminar group.
�Legal Writing Skills
Every student is offered the opportunity
during his Law School career to develop his
writing skills. In the first year, he is required
to take a course which provides supervised
experience in -written communication with
particular reference to the field of law. In his
second and third years, he gains further
experience in supervised writing and may fulfill
a requirement for graduation by one or more of
the following:
Editorial work on the Northwestern
University Law Review or the Journal of
Criminal Law and Criminology.
Participation in the Miner Moot Court
Competition during the second year and in
the National Moot Court Competition as a
member of a Law School team during the
third year.
Participation in the Senior Research
Program.
Enrollment in a seminar which provides
an intensive writing experience. In this
seminar the student is able to fulfill a
graduation requirement by presenting
preliminary and revised drafts which
receive careful editorial criticism prior to
his submission of his major paper.
Senior Research Program
The Senior Research Program in the third
year is an innovation in legal education
introduced in 1966-67. Under this program, a
student with faculty approval may elect to
devote up to almost half of his third year to
advanced research under the personal
supervision of one or more members of the
faculty. During his second year a student
interested in this program may choose a
research subject with the assistance and
approval of a faculty member who is interested
in the same field, and who will serve as the
student's supervisor. Because of the flexibility
of the curriculum, the student may arrange his
schedule to include Law School courses and
seminars which provide necessary background
for the proposed work. In the third year the
student meets at least weekly with his faculty
supervisor to discuss the progress of the
research. The final paper or report must be
approved by a faculty committee.
The aim is not in itself to make a "specialist"
of the student, but rather to afford him the
intellectual experience of exploring a subject to
its depths; of sharpening his powers of analysis,
20
observation, and communication; and of
making a genuine contribution to research.
Depending upon the nature of the subject,
projects may require research in the law
library, and may also draw upon other
resources, including: other libraries in the
University and the community; other
departments of the University, where course or
seminar offerings related to the field of inquiry
may be taken; or the community itself, where
field research may be undertaken. The
program also permits, with careful advance
planning and approval, work in other parts of
the nation or the world. For example, several
faculty-student teams have engaged in research
for periods of six months in different African
nations under this program.
The faculty participants in the program carry
a classroom teaching load which is lighter than
normal so that they may devote more time to
the research, discussion, and critique necessary
to take the inquiry well beyond the bounds of
traditional individual study projects or seminar
work. Indeed, in many cases, work in the
program grows into joint, cooperative
student-teacher research approaches, more
significant not only is substance but also in
working relationship than anything heretofore
possible in a law school setting. A number of
joint books and articles have been published as
a result.
The challenges and rewards promised by the
Senior Research Program are many. As a
supplement to older techniques, the individual
learning and teaching offered by the program
provide significant further enrichment for
students willing and able to meet its demands
for initiative, self-discipline, and hard work.
The program is expected to serve, too, the
School's established goal of making increased
contributions on the frontiers of the law.
Most significant of all, perhaps, are the
opportunities for student and teacher to work
together in concrete ways toward the common
end of advancing the highest traditions of the
law as a learned profession and as a servant
of society.
�THE IBREE-YEAR CURRICULUM
In the last century, Northwestern, setting the
norm in legal education, was among the first of
the nation's law schools to require three years
of study for a degree in law. Beginning
students enter the Law School in September
and attend the two semesters of the regular
academic year for three years.
During his first year of law study, the student
follows a course designed to provide an
understanding of basic legal principles and
concepts and to give a solid grounding in the
fundamentals indispensable for all branches of
the profession. Here the student encounters the
grand divisions of private law-Property, Tort,
and Contract-as well as Constitutional Law
and Criminal Law. The course in Moot Court
meets in small groups (ten to fifteen students)
in which the lawyer's basic tools and the first
year student's individual problems in dealing
with them are under careful sc~utiny.
Each entering student is assigned a senior
faculty member as adviser. This advisory
relationship is available in the first year to ease
the adjustment to the demands of law study.
Thereafter the adviser becomes guide and
mentor as the student plans the work of his
last two years.
The wide range of electives offered by the
Law School in the second and third years
permits a degree of concentration by the
student wishing it. Moreover, seminars often
provide opportunities for further exploration of
a field in a new context. For example, criminal
procedure may be treated in a paper written
for the Civil Liberties seminar. Perhaps most
significant, however, is the opportunity to
sample a wide variety of problems in the law
and to foster new interests thus discovered.
For those courses which have two sections, the
School's policy of scheduling the sections at
different times and often in different semesters
is intended to permit the student to select
virtually any combination of elective courses
he wishes in his last two years.
THE COMBINED M.M.-J.D. PROGRAM
A student may earn the Master of
Management (M.M.) and the Juris Doctor
(J.D.) degrees during a period of four years if
he enrolls in both the Graduate School of
Management and the School of Law as a
participant in the combined degree program.
(Northwestern now offers the M.M. in place of
the Master of Business Administration degree
formerly awarded.)
If earned independently, these degrees would
require a total of five years of study, three
years in the School of Law with a minimum of
90 semester hours of work and two years in the
Graduate School of Management with 24
course units of work. Under the combined
degree program, the J.D. degree may be earned
by taking a minimum of 75 semester hours in
the School of Law, an additional 15 semester
hours of credit toward this degree being given
for work completed in the Graduate School of
Management. This 15 hours of credit is given,
however, only to a student enrolled in the
program. Similarly, the M.M. may be earned
by taking 18 course units of work, additional
credit for 6 course units being given for work
completed in the School of Law.
The precise order in which work is taken
may be determined individually. A typical
program might be a full year of study in one
school and a full year of study in the other,
followed by combined study in both law and
management during the third or fourth years.
This may be varied to suit the needs of the
individual student. Every participant, however,
must complete one academic year of study
exclusively in each school before enrolling for
a program of courses in both schools.
An applicant to the combined degree
program should apply separately to each of the
schools, following procedures prescribed by
each school. To qualify for the combined
program, an applicant must be admitted to both
schools. After admission, the applicant must
signify which school he wishes to attend first.
A student already enrolled in one school may
apply for the combined program by seeking
admission to the other school during his first
year of study in the School of Management or
during either his first or second year of study in
the School of Law.
A student in the combined program may be
considered for financial assistance separately by
each school for the first year he is enrolled in
that school and by both schools during the time
he is taking courses in both schools.
21
�JOINT DEGREE PROGRAM IN LAW
AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
Under grants from the National Institute of
Mental Health and the National Science
Foundation, Northwestern in 1970 began an
integrated joint degree program leading to both
the J.D. and a Ph.D. in one of the social
sciences. For the student to earn both degrees,
a minimum of five years of work is required,
including four years of courses, a dissertation
year, and two summers of supervised team
research.
The primary objective of this program is to
produce scholars who have the skills necessary
to do basic and applied research on legal
systems. To do such research successfully, it is
essential for the scholar to ,be fully qualified as
a professional both in law and in social science.
The graduates of this program will qualify for
admission to the Bar and will be competent to
practice law. They will also be fully trained in
both the theory and methods of social science,
and will be experienced in field research on
legal systems.
In the initial, experimental phase, the
program will admit approximately five carefully
selected students per year.
Applicants interested in this program may
get further information by writing to Mrs. Mae
Clair, Program in Law and the Social Sciences,
Northwestern University, 357 E. Chicago Ave.,
Chicago, Ill. 60611.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Programs for the second and third year must
have the written approval of the student's
assigned faculty adviser. In their second year,
students may register for no more than one
seminar in any semester. Third year students
may register in any semester for no more than
two seminars requiring the writing of
substantial papers.
Regular attendance is required in all courses.
No student should enroll in any course without
the intention and capability of satisfying this
requirement. Failure to attend regularly may
cause reduction in grades, loss of credit for
courses, additional remedial work, denial of
residence credit, or other appropriate sanctions
at the discretion of the instructor or the Dean.
EXAMINATIONS
Regular examinations are given in all formal
courses. In accordance with the prevailing
practice in legal education, a single final
examination is usually given, without periodic
or mid-term tests, to permit comprehensive
treatment of the subject matter and to measure
the student's capacity to work with and master
a substantial body of material. Although
examinations provide the most important
source for determining the student's relative
achievement, consideration may also be given
to the written work done in connection with a
course and to the preparation of assignments
for recitation as reflected in classroom
discussion. In seminar courses, no
examinations are ordinarily given. Grades are
based upon the products of individual research
and participation in the seminar discussions.
Students who are eligible but who for good
reason are unable to take an examination may,
with the permission of the Dean, take the next
regularly scheduled examination in the course,
take the examination late, or in unusual cases
be given a special examination.
�GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
DEGREES
To be recommended for the degree of Juris
Doctor, a student must complete successfully
90 semester hours of work, including all
courses specified for the first year and at least
one of the following:
(a) A Senior Research project.
(b) Participation in the work of the Law
Review or the Journal of Criminal Law
and Criminology.
( c) Participation in the Miner Moot Court
Competition during the second year and
in the National Moot Court
Competition as a member of a Law
School team during the third year.
( d) Participation in a seminar in which the
student submits preliminary and revised
drafts for criticism by the instructor
prior to submission of his' major paper.
Students who enroll in a seminar are
permitted to submit preliminary drafts
with the piror consent of the instructor.
Students who meet the requirement for
graduation elsewhere may enroll in
seminars and, with the consent of the
instructor, be excused from submitting
preliminary drafts of their major paper.
Degrees are conferred by the Trustees of
the University upon students who are
recommended by the faculty of the School of
Law. Before a student is recommended for a
degree, he must have satisfied the faculty as to
his character, and he must have complied with
the requirements for the degree for which he is
a candidate.
Although the faculty may change the
requirements for graduation at any time, this
responsibility is not exercised so as to place an
undue burden upon an enrolled student who
has planned his program on the basis of
previously announced requirements.
In addition to these course requirements,
instructors may establish one or more
prerequisites for enrollment in particular
courses and seminars in the second and third
years. Courses listed as concurrent requisites
may be courses taken previously or to be taken
concurrently.
The first degree in law awarded by the
University is the Juris Doctor (J.D.). It is
conferred upon students who have satisfactorily
completed courses carrying 90 semester-hours
of credit in the School of Law, including the
required courses described under Graduation
Requirements above. The work must be
pursued during a residence period of three
academic years or the equivalent. The last
year must be in residence at Northwestern
University School of Law, and in the case of
students transferring from another law school,
a minimum of 30 semester-hours of credit
must be earned at Northwestern.
When the faculty believes that the
candidate's record of scholarship merits special
recognition, the degree may be awarded cum
laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude.
Degrees conferred upon students who have
already obtained their first degrees in law are
described in the information concerning
Graduate Study in Law.
COURSE LOAD
Courses totaling 16 credit-hours in any term,
in the opinion of the faculty, represent the
maximum amount of work which a good
student can do effectively under favorable
conditions. On the other hand, each student is
expected to register for not less than 14
credit-hours of work each term.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT
The seminars and the courses in Trial
Practice are limited in enrollment. The School
cannot assure that all students wishing to enroll
in a particular seminar or Trial Practice course
can be accommodated.

�SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS
In the total educational program of the Law
School, the formal course work within the
curriculum is supplemented by a variety of
additional offerings. Lectures by distinguished
scholars, jurists, and statesmen from the United
States and abroad serve as cultural adjuncts to
the regular courses and emphasize the broader
public obligations of the profession. In
recognition of the Law School's role in the life
of the profession, the community, and the
nation, conferences are held which bring
together leaders of thought and action for
discussion of subjects of major public
importance. Through participation in these
programs, the student broadens his vision and
develops the sense of public responsibility
which characterizes th~ highest traditions of the
bar.
Many of these curricular supplements are
presented by the Law School as an integral
part of the general educational program upon
an occasional basis and without special
sponsorship. Others are offered as part of
established and continuing programs within the
School. The most notable of these continuing
programs are described below.
THE ROSENTHAL LECTURES
The Julius Rosenthal Foundation, which is
administered by the Law School, was

�THE LINTHICUM FOUNDATION
PROGRAM
The Charles Clarence Linthicum Foundation
was established in 1926 in memory of
Professor Linthicum, Class of 1882, a member
of the Law School faculty from 1902 to 1915,
and one of the most eminent patent lawyers of
his day. The income of the fund is devoted to
the support of research, study, and
development of the law of trade, industry, and
commerce. From time to time prizes have been
awarded from these funds to distinguished
American and European authors for
meritorious books and essays. In recent years,
the Foundation has sponsored a number of
conferences with a significant focus on
interrelationships of law, economics and
government. Among the particular subject
areas which have been considered are antitrust,
labor relations, general economic and industrial
organization, administrative regulation, land
use and European Common Market
development.
Since 1948, projects sponsored by the
Linthicum Foundation have included among
their participants such distinguished scholars,
jurists and public officials as John Kenneth
Galbraith, Arthur J. Goldberg, Judge Paul R.
Hays, Newton N. Minow, Eugene V. Rostow,
the late Adlai E. Stevenson, and W. Willard
Wirtz.
VOLUNTARY LEGAL SERVICES
Recent developments in the law requiring
representation for indigent criminal defendants
and the proliferation of agencies providing
voluntary legal services in civil matters have
greatly increased the opportunities for
professional experience open to law students.
Among the public and private agencies that
accept volunteer service by law students are
outlying offices of the Legal Aid Bureau of
United Charities and the Neighborhood Legal
Assistance Center, operated for needy residents
of Chicago's near north side by a group of
young practicing attorneys.
The Law School provides outstanding
opportunity for voluntary service in its own
Northwestern Legal Assistance Clinic,
established in 1969 with the assistance of grants
from the Council of Legal Education for
Professional Responsibility, Inc., the Field
Foundation, the Legal Aid Bureau of United
Charities, and Chicago attorney Arnold I.
Shure, with subsequent grants also from the
Woods Charitable Fund, Inc. An extension of
the Legal Clinic Program which the Law
School initiated in 1910, the clinic provides
civil and criminal legal services to persons who
are patients of the Northwestern University
medical and dental clinics. It also serves other
individuals and organizations in Chicago.
In voluntary legal services, all law students
may assist in the interviewing and counseling
of clients, preparation of pleadings and other
legal documents, legal research, interviewing
witnesses, and preparing for trial. Third year
law students may enroll in the clinical program
for credit and may be certified to practice in
the courts under Rule 711 of the Rules of the
Supreme Court of Illinois.
CORPORATE COUNSEL INSTITUTE
Annually since 1962, Northwestern has
conducted the Corporate Counsel Institute in
cooperation with the American, Illinois, and
Chicago Bar Associations and the Institute of
Continuing Education of the Illinois Bar
Association. The two-day program reviews
problems of current importance to lawyers
in corporate law departments and in private
corporate practice. The Institute regularly
draws several hundred lawyers from
throughout the United States.
Institute lecturers are distinguished private
practitioners and lawyers within corporate law
departments, government officials, law
professors, and other scholars in fields of
antitrust, labor relations, securities regulation,
taxation, and other areas of corporate law
practice. Proceedings of the Institute are
published.
Students in the Law School are invited to
attend the Institute without charge. Many of
the papers presented are published in the
Northwestern Law Review and other journals.

- R ecollections of an Alumnus,
Class of 1860.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
A well seasoned aphorism, familiar to law
students everywhere, says that a law student
receives his education from his classmates.
Like many an old saw, the observation contains
within its exaggeration a kernel of truth. Law
school instruction is built upon student
participation. Beyond the classroom the
student continues his professional preparation
in give-and-take discussion, corridor debate,
and friendly argument with his fellows . The
vitality of the Law School is measured by the
quality and vigor of its student body.
At Northwestern the entering student finds
himself a member of a closely knit community
of men and women, bound together by a
common pursuit and by the rich traditions of
the Law School's history. The student body is
comparatively small, averaging approximately
500 students. The modest size of the School
and its instructional policies-division of most
courses into two or more sections and the wide
range of electives offered after the first yearpromote wide acquaintance among students.
The beginner is carefully chosen through a
policy of selective admission designed to assure
that every member of the class is capable of
legal study at the highest and most challenging
level. His classmates are high ranking
graduates of the leading colleges and
universities in the United States and abroad.
Students benefit from friendly relationships
with fellow students coming from a wide
variety of backgrounds. The typical student
body consists of men and women from
thirty-five states and eight or ten foreign
countries. One hundred and eighty-two
colleges and universities are represented by
graduates enrolled in the Law School (see page
66). A variety of undergraduate majors are
included, and many students have earned
graduate degrees in other fields before entering
the Law School.
Law students as a whole tend to be
individualistic and venturesome, and a broad
range of opinion and experience is encompassed
in the student body. The stimulating contacts
of student life at the Law School combine to
develop a mature, tolerant, and broadened
outlook in the individual student. A healthy
spirit of competition, helpful in encouraging
each student to his best effort, exists concurrent
with the kind of comradeship and mutual
respect so characteristic of the legal profession
generally.
LEGAL PUBLICATIONS
The tradition in the legal world of accepting
as authoritative professional journals written,
edited and published by men and women who
have not yet achieved professional status is
unique. Students at Northwestern are fortunate
to have three regularly published scholarly
journals available for student research, writing
and editing: the Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology, the Northwestern University Law
Review, and the Clearinghouse Review.
Selection for membership on a publication is
at once a high honor, a great responsibility,
and a tremendous opportunity. Although there
are innumerable advantages, the true value of
membership on a legal publication lies in the
sharpening of legal research, writing and editing
skills which are so essential to the effective
practice of law.
Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology
A quarterly publication with worldwide
circulation, the Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology is universally recognized as the
foremost publication of its kind. It is the only
student-edited law review published in the
United States which focuses on criminal law
and criminology, and one of the few such
43
�professional publications in the world.
Founded by the late Dean John Henry
Wigmore in 1910, the Criminal Law Journal
has the second largest paid circulation of any
Jaw review.
While the Criminal Law ·Journal centers on
the field of criminal law, its research reaches
into other areas, from constitutional
implications of various aspects of the criminal
codes to the impact of procedural and
evidentiary rules on the administration of
criminal justice. Members of the staff are thus
exposed to analysis and writing in all fields of
the law while applying the principles of law to
the narrower focus of their publication.
After completion of their first year, a
number of students are invited by the editorial
board of the Criminal Law Journal to join the
staff on the basis of outstanding scholastic
performance. The board invites an additional
group of students to join the staff on the basis
of demonstrated writing ability, either through
participation in the writing competition held
during the second year, or by submitting an
article of publishable quality. Those staff
members who satisfactorily complete their
duties are eligible for election to the editorial
board.
The editorial board holds complete
responsibility for the solicitation, selection, and
editing of competent material submitted for
publication by judges, practicing attorneys,
professors, and other legal scholars; and for the
preparation of publishable student material in
the criminal law field.
Two of the four issues of the Criminal Law
Journal have proved to be of special
significance to students. The Supreme Court
Review, published each year in the December
issue, provides an opportunity for second year
students to publish their work early in their
law school career. A foreword to the analytical
survey of Supreme Court decisions which affect
the criminal practice is written by a well-known
figure in the legal profession. Arthur J.
Goldberg '30, former Secretary of Labor,
Supreme Court Justice and U.S. Ambassador
to the United Nations, contributed the
foreword for December 1972. A recent
innovation has been the dedication of the June
issue to a symposium on a relevant theme.
The June 1972 issue, for example, was devoted
to a symposium on prisoner's rights, a topic
which links the fields of criminal law and
criminology.
Northwestern University Law Review
One of the most rewarding student activities
at the Law School is the publication of the
Northwestern University Law Review, one of
the nation's leading professio_nal journals. The
Law Review is circulated widely among
lawyers and judges and is often cited in briefs
and judicial opinions.
�A student argues in the 1972 Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition .
A law journal entitled the Northwestern Law
Review was first established by students of the
School during the academic year 1892-93,
within five years of the appearance of the first
student journal in the nation. Publication was
continued in 1906, after a ten-year suspension,
under. the title Illinois Law Review.
For a period beginning in 1924, editorship
was shared with the law schools of the
University of Chicago and the University of
Illinois. In 1932 Northwestern students
resumed full control, and in 1952 the name was
changed to Northwestern University Law
Review .
.M the end of the first year outstanding
students are invited to write commentary on
legal problems for publication and to carry on
the research, editing, and related work of the
Law Review. Members of the staff are selected
on the basis of scholastic standing and
demonstrated writing skill. Selection is one of
the highest honors and greatest responsibilities
the Law School can bestow. Law Review
participation is hard work: it requires the
members to return several weeks before school
begins in the fall and demands a major portion
of their time during the academic year.
Participation on the Law Review is both a
demanding and a constructive experience.
The Clearinghouse Review
Northwestern also publishes the monthly
Clearinghouse Review, funded by the Office of
Economic Opportunity, which is the journal of
the National Clearinghouse for Legal Services.
The publication provides lawyers with
information about current developments in
those areas of law which particularly affect the
poor. It also carries scholarly articles and
practical advice for lawyers representing the
poor.
The Clearinghouse Review has a professional
staff headed by Margaret V. Johnson, director
of the National Clearinghouse for Legal
Services, and uses material written and edited
by a student editorial board. Juniors and
seniors who compose the board are chosen in
part on the basis of a writing competition and
in part because of expressed interest in the
work. Professor Robert W. Bennett is faculty
adviser.
JULIUS H. MINER MOOT COURT
COMPETITION
To provide continuing practice and
instruction in the arts of appellate advocacy,
the first-year course in Moot Court is
supplemented by the Julius H. Miner Moot
Court Competition for advanced students.
Made possible by an endowment which
memorializes Judge Julius H. Miner, the
program is conducted, under faculty
45
�supervision, by third-year students comprising
the Moot Court Board and involves the
preparation of appellate court briefs and the
presentation of oral arguments before panels of
judges, practicing attorneys, and facult)'
members. The cases typically raise issues of
current legal importance, more complex and
challenging than those assigned in the regular
first-year course. The final argument is
conducted before the entire student body,
customarily with distinguished judges from the
federal bench. Those who have served as
presiding judges for final arguments include
former Associate Justice Arthur J. Goldberg
(J.D ., 1930) and Associate Justices Tom C.
Clark, Thurgood Marshall, Potter Stewart, and
Byron R. White of the Supreme Court of the
United States. The Law School team in the
National Moot Court Competition is chosen
on the basis of performance in the Miner
Competition.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT:
THE JUNIOR BAR ASSOCIATION
All students are members of the Junior Bar
Association and through it contribute to the
educational and recreational programs of the
Law School. JBA committees are responsible
for many activities, including the orientation
program for new students, Parents Day, Law
Day, and a student-run bookstore which
handles used casebooks and course materials,
supplementing the facilities of the University
bookstore. Outstanding lawyers, judges, and
political figures are frequent visitors to the
School as part of the JBA Speaker's Program,
often meeting with students at coffee hours
following such programs.
The JBA plans a variety of social and
recreational programs throughout the academic
year, including student-faculty coffee hours,
informal socials, and a film series with
full-length feature movies. Other social
activities are planned each year to reflect the
interests of the student body.
�HONOR CODE
An important product of the Law School's
philosophy of student responsibility is the
Honor Code and the broad authority granted
to the students, through the Junior Bar
Association, for its enforcement and
implementation. The basic tenet of the Honor
Code is that the law student, like the lawyer,
should be subject to unyielding standards of
honorable conduct. In reliance upon the
students' collective sense of responsibility, Law
School examinations are unmonitored and
unsupervised by faculty, staff, or proctors.
The Honor Code imposes a strict obligation
upon each student to report any apparent
infractions to the students constituting the
Judicial Council of the Association. After a
full hearing, the Council has the duty to make
findings and to recommend appropriate
disciplinary action to the faculty.
The Code covers all academic p,hases of Law
School activity. It is of special note that this
system has been chosen by the students and
that students administer the system which
guarantees the honor of the Law School
community. The habits of honor fostered by
this honor system stand the young lawyer in
good stead before the bench and bar.
THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
The Women's Caucus, an association of
women in the Law School, provides a forum
for discussion of the concerns of women
seeking a legal education and women employed
within the legal profession.
The Caucus has been active in encouraging
appointment of women to the faculty, the
placement of women graduates, and programs
to encourage women's applications to the
School. The Extended Study Program, which
permits a small number of students to carry a
lighter load, was recommended by the
Women's Caucus and adopted by the faculty.
Weekly meetings of the Caucus are held to
discuss issues of personal and group interest.
A spokeswoman for the Caucus is elected each
semester.
BLACK LAW STUDENTS
ASSOCIATION
The Black Law Students Association serves
as a forum for the discussion of matters
concerning black students within the Law
School. BLSA' promotes the discussion of legal
issues relevant to blacks and, whenever
possible, provides assistance and answers to
such issues. Occasionally BLSA will publicly
express its position on events which
significantly affect the black community.
BLSA objectives include increasing the number
of black attorneys in the United States by
encouraging interested blacks to pursue a legal
education, gaining greater minority
representation on the faculty and throughout
the University, and helping the local black
community. BLSA cooperates with chapters at
other Chicago law schools to achieve common
objectives.
RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS
Each year a number of second and third
year students are selected to serve as Research
Assistants to individual members of the faculty.
These appointments carry a modest stipend but
are valued primarily for the opportunities they
afford for close participation in the ongoing
scholarly work and publications of the faculty.
LAW WIVES
Recognizing the importance of the wife's
role in aiding her husband's study of law, the
Law Wives organization provides an
opportunity for the student wife to understand
something about the subject which comsumes
so much of her husband's time. The Law
Wife may enjoy an informal talk by a faculty
member on law study or a legal problem of
general interest, or she may spend the evening
socializing with other student wives.
Occasionally, professors have conducted mock
law classes for the wives to give them a
firsthand view of the educational process in
which their husbands are involved.

��"Mr. Hoyne says that he has confidence that the
School will commence with 50 students. The
tuition fees are to be $100 per year."

dean of the Law School, to his
wife, dated June 30, 1859.
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL
Every year the Law School draws many
hundreds of applications for admission from
every state in the U.S. and from abroad. In
recent years there have been ten or more
applicants for each place in the ~ntering class.
The admission policies of Northwestern
University are not predicated upon any
consideration whatever of race, color, or creed,
but completely upon the competence of the
individual.
Since its early years the Law School has
followed a policy of selective admission to
preserve its character as a cohesive academic
community of modest size and to assure
continued educational standards of the highest
order. Consequently, the School is unable to
accept many applicants who are capable of
successfully completing legal studies and
qualifying for the practice of law.
Applicants are selected for admission upon
the basis of demonstrated scholarship,
intellectual capacity, and qualities of character
requisite to the profession. The School
endeavors to admit only those applicants whose
records indicate that they will successfully
complete the course of study.
MAKING APPLICATION
FOR ADMISSION
Application forms and information
concerning admission requirements may be
obtained by writing to the Office of Admissions,
Northwestern University School of Law, 357
East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
Students beginning the study of law enter
the School at the opening of the first semester
in September.
Before enrollment the student must have
obtained a bachelor's degree from an approved
college or university.
Application to the Law School is accomplished by filing an application form with
the Law School and by registering with the
Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS)
of the Educational Testing Service, Princeton,
N .J. A pre-addressed postcard for requesting
an LSDAS registration form is provided with
each Northwestern University School of Law
application form. The LSDAS form must be
requested from the Educational Testing Service
and returned directly to ETS, not to the Law
School.
The student's LSDAS registration must be
supplemented by a transcript sent directly to
LSDAS, not to the Law School, from eac_h
college and university attended, regardless of
the number of hours of credit received. Except
in unusual cases, transcripts should not be
supplied until they include a record of three
full academic years. If the application is
approved, the applicant must supply a final
transcript certifying the award of a bachelor's
degree directly to the Law School.
The LSDAS registration must also be
supported by a report of the applicant's score
on the Law School Admission Test.
Northwestern University School of Law joined
with several other schools in sponsoring the
development of this test, designed to measure
the student's general aptitude for the study of
law. Information on how to arrange to take
the test, administered by the Educational
Testing Service, is supplied with registration
material for the test, which may be obtained
directly from the Educational Testing Service.
The test may be taken either before or after the
Law School application form and LSDAS
registration form are filed. An applicant for
admission in September should ordinarily plan
to take the test in the fall preceding the year in
which admission to law school is sought. When
49
�the scores are available, they will automatically
be added to the LSDAS file for the applicant.
LSDAS will provide Northwestern
University School of Law, as well as other law
schools to which the applicant wishes to seek
admission, with an analysis of the transcripts
and a report of the Law School Admission Test
score. A fee for thi!l service ($5 for the initial
designated law school and $2 for each
additional school) is paid by the applicant
directly to the Educational Testing Service.
The full details of the Law School Data
Assembly Service accompany the registration
form.
An applicant must also submit, directly to
the Law School on forms furnished by
Northwestern, recommendations from two
college or university instructors. Each
application submitted to the Law School must
also be accompanied by an application fee of
$20 which is not refund&ble.
VISITS TO THE SCHOOL
An applicant need not appear for a personal
interview unless invited by the Committee on
Admissions. Since all admissions decisions are
made by a faculty committee, a personal
interview with the Assistant Dean in charge of
admissions would not serve to communicate the
special circumstances of an applicant to all
those considering his case. An applicant who
wishes to supply special information
concerning his application should submit a
written statement.
Most questions can be answered by the
Secretary of Admissions, who is available for
conferences with applicants. Appointments
should be arranged in advance by mail or
telephone.
WHEN TO APPLY
When possible, applications should be
submitted and supporting documents forwarded
before January 1, 1973. Applicants who follow
this procedure will be informed of the action
of the Committee on Admissions by March 1.
All applications and supporting documents
should be submitted by March 1, 1973. Any
application submitted after that date or any
application which is lacking supporting documents on that date may, in the discretion of
the Committee on Admissions, be rejected for
that reason.
Applicants for financial assistance must
apply by March 1.
Applications are considered and acted upon
as soon as the supporting information has been
received. Determinations are made upon a
balanced evaluation of the applicant's college
record and the Law School Admission Test
score, supplemented by the required
recommendations and other information
bearing on the applicant's capacity and
qualification for law study. Each application is
considered carefully and individually. The
trend of undergraduate achievement,
performance in particular fields and courses,
and the demands and influence of other
activities and personal circumstances are
weighed and taken into account. Every
doubtful application is thoroughly discussed
and examined by a committee of faculty
members.
Each applicant who is accepted for
admission, whether or not he has been awarded
financial assistance, is required to make a
non-refundable deposit of $100 by April 1 of
the year of entrance or within twenty-one days
after notice of acceptance, whichever is later.
Upon registration the deposit is applied toward
tuition and fees.
No applicant previously enrolled in another
law school is admitted either as a beginning
student or as a transfer student if he is
ineligible to continue study at that school.
�TRANSFER
The admission of a student previously
enrolled in another law school who wishes to
become a candidate for the degree of Juris
Doctor depends upon the applicant's
achievements in law study and upon the factors
which control the admission of beginning
students. Generally stated, the standard
requires a highly creditable law school record.
Transfer applicants should submit the
application form with the $20 application fee,
transcripts from each college and university
attended, including the law school from which
transfer is contemplated, and two
recommendations from former instructors, at
least one of which is a law school instructor.
A statement of law school class standing also
should be submitted, and the Law School
Admission Test score report must be furnished.
The granting of credit for courses completed
in other schools and the allowance of advanced
standing rest within the discretion of the Dean
of the School. In no event is transfer credit
given for law school work in schools which are
not members of the Association of American
Law Schools or for courses in which the
student received a grade below C or its
equivalent.
EXTENDED STUDY PROGRAM
Recognizing that women with small children
have special family obligations which cannot
be met by the granting of financial aid, the
Law School has instituted an Extended Study
Program which allows participants to take four
years to complete the normal three-year course
of legal study.
A maximum of five Extended Study
Program students will be admitted to each
first-year class. The program is open to
applicants of exceptional ability who have
special family obligations (such as the care of
preschool children or unusually heavy financial
commitments) which cannot be met by
customary financial aid.
Participating students are required to register
for at least ten hours of course work each
semester. In order to complete the program
within four calendar years, students may either
take more than ten hours a semester or attend
summer school, or both.
Although the program is designed primarily
for women with children, applications are
accepted from men who find themselves in a
situation analagous to that of a woman who
would be eligible for the program.
�PRE-LEGAL STUDY
A bachelor's degree in arts or science is
required for admission to the Law School, but
no specific fields of major study or particular
courses are prescribed. The purpose of the
requirement is to provide the prospective
lawyer with a sound liberal education for the
discharge of his broader professional
responsibilities and to provide a foundation for
law school training. Since the reach of the
law's concerns may be as wide as the range of
human behavior, no particular course of
undergraduate study is viewed as conferring a
special advantage in the law.
College curricula vary, the content of
courses bearing the same title may be
dissimilar, and teaching attitudes and emphases
differ. Accordingly, suggestions must be
general. Courses in such fields as history,
economics, anthropology, sociology,
government, and political science may help the
student to understand the structure of society
and the problems of social ordering with which
the law is concerned. Studies in philosophy
and literature may impart a familiarity with the
traditions of thought that have influenced legal
developments. The examination of human
behavior in courses in psychology and its
analysis through statistical method may also
prove worthwhile.
In developing the capacities and skills of the
lawyer, the college student should pursue
studies that enhance his power to express
himself with clarity and force. English, foreign
language courses, and public speaking can be
52
recommended, but the capacities may be
developed as well in other courses in which
written work of high quality is demanded. For
the systematic ordering of abstractions and
ideas, the physical, natural, and mathematical
sciences, in addition to logic, are suggested.
Apart from subject matter, the student
preparing for the study of law should take
courses of sufficient difficulty to test his
capacities to the utmost to assist in the
development of the rigorous intellectual
discipline essential to success in law school.
He would be well advised, in addition, to
pursue his studies far enough in some definite
field to attain a mastery of the subject. The
typical student is more likely to extend himself
and thereby to increase his capacities for law
study if he follows his own interests and tastes.
It is perhaps advisable, however, for the
prospective law student to avoid undergraduate
courses in law designed to prepare one for
other callings and duplicating law school work.
Ordinarily, the time and effort are better spent
in studies in other fields.
In general, the undergraduate college student
is best advised not to try to prepare particularly
and narrowly for his law school studies,. but to
prepare for his life as a lawyer by obtaining the
best available general education. He will find
that what is best for law school is also the best
in liberal education- a course of study that
develops in the student the capacity to
understand, to think for himself, and to express
himself effectively.
�TUITION, FEES AND EXPENSES
The cost of a year of law study varies with
the needs, habits, and circumstances of the
student. As a base from which individual
estimates may be drawn, the sum of $5,050
approximates the total expense for the
academic year of the average unmarried
student residing in Abbott Hall, the Law
School dormitory. Of this total, about $3,000
is required for tuition, fees, books, and
supplies. The remainder represents the typical
expenditure for room, board, and personal
needs.
TUITION
'
The student's total investment
in his legal
education, although large in absolute terms,
is insubstantial in comparison with its total
returns in the decades of his professional life.
Short-term economies often prove wasteful in
the long run. In the interests of its students,
the Law School has made every effort to hold
down the costs, but in the same interests, it has
refused to sacrifice any of the elements of a
legal education of the highest quality. The cost
of each student's education is only partly
covered by his tuition payments. A substantial
portion is paid from income from endowments
and from annual gifts of alumni and friends of
Northwestern.

pending their acceptance as candidates for a
graduate degree are classified as graduate
students. All other students are unclassified
students.
Candidates for the S.J.D. and LL.M. degrees
who have done full-time graduate work at this
University for two semesters are charged the
Resident in Research fee unless they take
courses or seminars. They are then charged at
the rate of $140 a credit hour.

Mimeograph Fee
In many courses it is necessary to supply
mimeographed materials to supplement
assigned casebooks. A flat charge of $12.50
each semester for undergraduates covers the
cost of supplies and labor to prepare such
supplementary materials. In a few instances,
when instructors prepare mimeographed
materials to replace an entire casebook, an
additional charge is made.
Advance Deposit
An advance deposit of $100 is required of
all applicants accepted for admission, including
those granted financial assistance. This deposit
is applied as part payment of tuition and fees
but is not refundable.

PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
Tuition and fees are paid by semesters,
rather than by the full academic year.
Payments are due in the first few weeks after
the beginning of the term upon the date
specified in the statement sent to each student
after registration. The Cashier's Office,
conveniently located on the first floor of Abbott
Hall, receives these payments.
The Division of Student Finance, on the
first floor of Abbott Hall, issues the statements
and makes all adjustments.
WITHDRAWAL AND REFUNDS
Official withdrawal forms are available from
the Registrar of the School of Law. Except for
students who are compelled to withdraw
because of compliance with military orders,
students who withdraw before the end of
one-fourth of the term are liable for one-fourth
of the tuition for the term. Students who
withdraw after the first one-fourth of the term
and before the middle of the term are held for
one-half of the tuition for the term. Students
who withdraw after the middle of the term are
held for full tuition. Regardless of the time of
withdrawal, students are liable for all fees . In
54
the case of exclusion for nonpayment of
tuition, the same charges are made in
accordance with the above schedule. In all
cases, either the date on which the student
withdrew from classes and filed a written
withdrawal notice with the Registrar of 'the
Law School or the date of formal exclusion is
is used in figuring any adjustment on tuition.
REBATES
Information about rebates for full-time
faculty and staff, their spouses, their dependent
sons and daughters, and employees of
Northwestern-affiliated institutions may be
obtained at the Student Finance Office,
Abbott Hall. Applications must be filed
with that office before the student's first
registration each school year.
STUDENT DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
The University maintains a student deposit
account at the Cashier's Office, Abbott Hall, as
an accommodation to students. Students may
write only counter checks payable to
themselves against their deposits. There is no
charge for this service, and no interest is paid
on deposits.
�FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The Law School is committed to providing
all possible assistance to a law student so that
he may reach his educational goal. However,
scholarship and loan funds available for this
purpose are quite limited. Thus, not all
students who demonstrate financial need may
be given financial assistance.
number of honorary scholarships are awarded
annually in recognition of pre-legal
achievement. These special scholarships,
described below, carry only a nominal financial
award, so that available funds may be devoted
to the assistance of students who otherwise
would be unable to study law.
Each application for financial assistance is
individually considered by a committee of
faculty members and each award is determined
by an individual appraisal of the student's
qualifications for law study and monetary
needs. The application is considered for
awards of scholarship grants and repayable
grants. The committee expects that each
applicant will obtain as much financial
assistance from other sources as is possible.
For example, those students who qualify for
the "State Guaranteed Loan Program" are
expected to obtain such loans. Information
about this program may be obtained from the
applicant's local bank.
MAKING APPLICATION
FOR ASSISTANCE
For students of exceptional ability who have
adequate resources for law study, a limited
The Law School is a participant in the
Graduate and Professional School Financial
Aid Service (GAPSFAS). All applicants for
financial aid must file a GAPSFAS form
entitled "Application for Financial Aid for
the Academic Year 1973-74." The GAPSFAS
application may be obtained from the financial
aid officer at the institution the applicant is
currently attending and will be available on
campuses after September 15, 1972. The
GAPSFAS application may also be obtained
from the Graduate and Professional School
Financial Aid Service, Box 2614, Princeton,
New Jersey 08540. The application should be
filed no later than January 1 in order to assure
55
�its receipt at the school by February 1. The
application contains sections to be completed
by the applicant, by the spouse or prospective
spouse, and the applicant's parents. An applicant must complete all three sections to be
considered for aid at the Law School.
An application for financial aid will be
considered after an applicant has been accepted
for admission. The admission decision will not
be affected by a request for financial assistance.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS

�GRADUATE STUDY AND DEGREES
The graduate program of the Law School has
several objectives. One purpose is to offer to
recent law graduates who have demonstrated
superior proficiency in the study of law, as well
as to active practitioners, an opportunity not
only to broaden their legal knowledge but also
to study and engage in research in particular
fields of interest. The School also desires to
make its facilities available to law teachers and
prospective law teachers interested in advanced
study and original research and writing under
faculty guidance. In addition, the program is
intended to provide outstanding graduates of
foreign law schools with an opportunity to
expand their knowledge of American legal
processes and to engage in comparative legal
research.
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY
AND TO CANDIDACY FOR
ADVANCED DEGREES
The admission of students who have been
awarded a first degree in law to graduate study
or to candidacy for the degree of Master of
Laws or Doctor of Juridical Science is at the
discretion of the Committee on Graduate
Studies.
Although foreign graduate students whose
native language is not English are eligible for
admission as graduate students, they normally
are not admitted as candidates for a degree
until they have completed one semester's work
as graduate students and have demonstrated
during that time their capacity to complete
successfully the degree requirements.
Experience indicates that foreign students
whose native language is not English have great
difficulty in meeting the requirements unless
they have a good command of written and
spoken English.
DEGREES
Two graduate degrees are granted: the
degree of Master of Laws (LL.M.) and the
degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.).
Master of Laws (LL.M.). The degree of
Master of Laws is conferred upon students who
have obtained a first degree in law from this
University or another having ~quivalent
requirements; in unusual cases, this
requirement may be waived by a vote of the
faculty. Also, such students must fulfill the
following requirements:
1. The completion of one academic year
of residence in this School, during which time
credit must be obtained for not less than 10
semester-hours in courses or seminars not
previously counted toward the first degree in
law. Students who have not previously taken,
for their first degree in law, a course or seminar
in the general field of jurisprudence must
include such work in their program.
Each graduate student's course program is
individually planned in relation to the
student's choice of a thesis topic. To the
extent necessary to establish a background for
his research, the Graduate Committee may at
its discretion require a graduate student to take
course and seminar work in addition to the
minimum prescribed above. During their year
of residence, graduate students are required to
maintain a superior scholarship record.
2. The completion of a thorough study of
some approved legal topic and the presentation
of a paper embodying its results. The
candidate's thesis must be suitable for
publication in the Northwestern University
Law Review or the Journal of Criminal Law
and Criminology.
3. The passing of an examination to be
prescribed by the faculty.
Application forms and additional
information may be secured by writing to the
Committee on Graduate Studies, Northwestern
University School of Law, 357 East Chicago
Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
61
�Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.). The
degree of Doctor of Juridical Science is
conferred upon students who have obtained the
degree of Juris Doctor from this or some other
university or college having equivalent
requirements for that degree or who have
obtained the degree of Bachelor of Laws from
another university or college whose
requirements for that degree are equivalent to
those prescribed by this School for the degree
of Juris Doctor and who have fulfilled the
following requirements:
1. The completion of one academic year of
residence in this School. The time required for
the completion of a candidate's work, however,
normally runs far beyond the period of
residence required.
2. The completion of a study to be
approved by the faculty or its designated
committee. This study shall be one involving
original research and must be completed in
such manner, both as to subject matter and
literary form, as to be, in the opinion of the
faculty, a significant and scholarly contribution
to legal science.
3. The completion of such other work, if
any, as may be directed by the Dean in the
particular case.
4. The passing of an examination to be
prescribed by the faculty.
Faculty policy restricts this degree to
candidates who have had substantial experience ·
either in practicing or teaching law and who,
through published writings, have evidenced
their capacity for advanced graduate work.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
Full information concerning tuition and fees
for graduate study appears on preceding pages.
The expenses of an unmarried student for
the academic year, including books, board and
room, and incidentals (but excluding tuition
and fees) should be, as a minimum, $2,000.
Accommodations for both married and
unmarried graduate students are available on
the University's Chicago campus.
GRADUATE FELLOWSIDP
The James Nelson Raymond International
Fellowship is awarded on a competitive basis
to foreign applicants interested in any field of
legal study, including international legal
studies. The present amount of the fellowship
is $4,800. After provision for payment of
tuition and fees, the balance is paid in ten
installments, the first on September 15.
Normally, the fellowship is not awarded to
foreign students who already have spent a year
in this country under another scholarship grant.
The fellowship is granted for one year only.
The fellowship does not provide for travel
expenses. A student must make his own travel
arrangements. A successful fellowship
applicant should also bring sufficient funds for
personal expenses from the time of arrival until
September 15.

�"Old Northwestern!
That's where we learned our law."
- " The Counsellor's Chorus,"
John Henry Wigmore, Dean
1901-29
THE SCHOOL AND ITS ALUMNI
The associations formed in the years of study
at the Law School are lifelong. The School,
through its Placement Service, offers assistance
to the graduate in finding a position which
promises satisfaction both in economic terms
and in self-realization and contribution.
The School's alumni assist in keeping alive
memories and friendships of student days and
provide the support so important to the School.
PLACEMENT
At graduation the Northwestern law student
joins the century-long procession of Law
School alumni. A wide range of choice is open.
To provide its graduates with advice, guidance,
and a broad selection of opportunities for their
legal careers, the Law School maintains a
placement service under the direction of the
Assistant Dean of Development and Placement.
Through general announcements to the
profession and particular inquiries, the
Placement Service gathers information on
professional opportunities and openings,
compiles complete listing of these opportunities,
maintains.files for the use of prospective
graduates, and posts announcements of new
' openings to keep the student's information
current.
While there are many who practice law, the
demand for well trained able young lawyers
has not diminished. The rising level of starting
salaries gives evidence of the professional need.
Each year the Placement Service receives
inquiries and requests from law firms,
corporations and government agencies.
A majority of the Law School's alumni are
engaged in the private practice of law. Some
have chosen to remain in Chicago, while others
have settled in cities and towns throughout the
United States. In large firms and in individual
practice, Northwestern graduates rank as
leaders of the bar in nearly every state in the
nation and in several foreign countries. In
service to their profession and their clients,
they have occupied the presidencies of the
American, state and local bar associations.
Not all alumni elect the rewards of private
practice. Furthering a strong tradition of
public service, a number of those in each
graduating class accept positions with
government at the national, state, or local level.
Working with prosecuting and investigating
agencies, on government boards and
commissions, and on the staffs of government
departments, they are often vested with major
responsibilities and acquire wide experience
early in their professional lives. After a period
of government service, many enter private
practice, where their experience in government
is of great value. Others make public service
a career and attain high public office, elective
or appointive.
The roster of Law School alumni includes
past and present governors and United States
senators, cabinet members, department heads,
United Nations representatives, diplomats,
mayors, attorney generals, prosecutors,
legislators, and government advisers.
In the judiciary, Northwestern men have
served with distinction on the benches of the
highest courts, both federal and state. For the
top-ranking students, there are opportunities
for clerkships with justices and judges of the
federal and state courts.
Through the years, Northwestern, for its
size, has contributed more than its share of the
nation's law teachers. Its graduates have joined
the faculties of nearly all the major law schools
in the United States, and many have served as
deans, university presidents, and leaders in
other branches of education.
63
�An expanding field of opportunity beyond
the limits of traditional practice is offered the
Law School graduate interested in business,
industry, and finance. In increasing recognition
of the values of legal training, corporations,
banks, and companies in a wide range of
enterprise seek Law School graduates not only
for their legal staffs but for executive positions.
Attractive starting salaries and opportunities
for advancement in management have
combined to draw a substantial number of
graduates of the Law School. Alumni have
risen to principal executive posts in many of
the nation's largest corporations in such fields
as transportation, oil, retailing, insurance,
finance, public utilities and manufacturing.
Graduating students must make their own
choice from the array of professional
64
opportunities open to them. It is the function
of the Law School's Placement Service to assist
seniors in exploring the possibilities and to
arrange the necessary contacts.
Each year a large number of law firms from
major cities throughout the United States send
members of the firm to the Law School to
interview advanced students. Government
agencies, corporations, and banks also send
representatives to the School for interviews.
Beyond its service to current graduates, the
Placement Service also handles the temporary
placement of students with law firms and
government agencies for summer vacation
periods, in Chicago and elsewhere, and the
placement of alumni of earlier years who are
returning from military service or are seeking
a change of position.
�THE LAW ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Over the years, the Law School has enjoyed
the loyal support of its alumni. In 1959 they
commemorated the Law School's centennial by
contributing substantially to the construction
of Robert R. McCormick Hall and the Owen L.
Coon Library, and their generous annual gifts
to the Law Alumni Fund provide scholarships
and significant support for the general program
of the School.
Many alumni assist directly in the
educational program. A number serve as
judges in the Moot Court program. In
addition, alumni are frequently asked to draw
upon their practical experience and special
knowledge in particular fields of law by
participating in course work or addressing
student groups. They render invaluable
assistance in connection with the placement
program.
Each year alumni reunions are held during
the meetings of the American Bar Association
and various state bar associations. In addition,
an alumni dinner is held each spring in Chicago
with a prominent guest speaker.

�FOUNDING, PURPOSE AND LOCATION OF THE LAW SCHOOL
7
Founding, Purpose and Location of the Law School
T
HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name. ·
The course ·of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School are now located in nearly every state and
territory, as well as in foreign countries. Special courses are offered
for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed in most courses of instruction; but each instructor follows his own judgment, in conducting the
classes by lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any
way he deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of
the School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, located in its own
fireproof building, immediately adjoining the Law School, lends itself
peculiarly to modern and scientific methods of instruction.
The School is located on McKinlock Campus, near Lake Michigan, at Lake Shore Drive and Chicago Avenue, Chicago, in its new
building, Levy Mayer Hall of Law, the gift of Mrs. Levy Mayer,
in memory of her husband, eminent at the Chicago Bar.
Limitation of Number of Students
The total number of students, candidates· for a degree, that may
be admitted each year will be fixed by the Faculty and published one
year in advance. The total number of regular students, old and
new , is limited to four hundred.
Admission
Candidates for Degree of Juris Doctor-Proof of satisfactory
completion of three years' study in an approved college.

3. After September tenth, as soon as feasible, certificates of
admission will be issued to those whose qualifications are most satisfactory, preference being given those applicants having a knowledge

4. All applications must be accompanied by the matriculation
fee. This fee will be returned only if the applicant is not admitted.
Special Students (not candidates for a degree)-Proof of completion of the requirements of tl-ie Supreme Court of Illinois for
applicants for admission to the Bar ( two years of college or ·its
equivalent). Special students with less than two years of college
study will be admitted only by vote of the Faculty in each case.
Classified Special Students-Upon petition to the Faculty, there
may he transferred from the list of special students to the list of
classified special students, by vote of the Faculty in each case, a
number of persons not to exceed ten (IO) in any one year. To be
eligible for such transfer, the applicant must: (a) have been at
least twenty-two years of age at the time of beginning his studies in
this School; ( b) have had at least one year of work in this School;

training or experience, which in its judgment fits him to be a candidate for a degree in law, and (d) have become eligible for the' Honor

When so transferred, the student shall be deemed a candidate for
the degree of Bachelor of Laws after four years from the date of
first registration in the Law School.
Graduation
Degrees will be conferred by the Trustees of the University upon
students who are recommended therefor by the Faculty of the Law

Curriculum
GENERAL STATEMENT.
In preparing the curriculum and requirements for the four-year
course of studies leading to the degree of J.D., the Faculty of Law
has kept in view the following principal objects:
( 1) To ensure for every graduate a thorough training in the
use of original sources, and a rigid mental discipline, with a view to
the formation of those habits of independent legal thinking which
ought to be the fundamental possession of every_member of the legal
profession;
( 2) To ensure for every graduate a general intelligent acquaintance with the elemental principles in the entire orthodox compass of
the technical subjects of law, and thus to qualify him to do mature
work in the later stages of his study and to equip him to approach
any legal problem without serious gaps in large fields of essential
legal information ;
�14
NORTHWESTERN U NIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL
(3) T~ ensure for every graduate some understanding of those
liberal legal subjects which develop breadth of view and qualify him
to render public sen·ice as, a leader of professional and civic thought;
(4) To attain these results, in point of method, by using the
most approved practices, and in particular by assuring to every student, on the part of the Faculty, from time to time, an individual
valuation of the quality of his work, and a personal attention to his
individual needs and capacities for attaining the expected standards.
The special features of the curriculum and requirements described
below are based directly on one or another of those objectives.
(5) The faculty reserves the right at any time, at discretion, to
make changes in the published curriculum.

EXERCISES IN FORENSIC WRITING, SPEAKING AND PRACTICE.
As a part of the systematic instruction represented in the foregoing curriculum,' an effort is made to provide adequate training in

and of a third foundation for legal aid to poor persons has been
placed at the disposition of the Faculty of Law.
'The Juuus ROSENTHAL Foundation is applicable generally for

the field of legal literature and of the preparation for publication in
whole or in part of the ' results of such research; by the delivery and
publication of lectures on subjects concerning the law; etc.
Julius Rosenthal (1828-1905), an eminent and beloved member
of the Chicago Bar, and librarian of the Chicago Law Institute for
nearly 40 years, and the most learned lawyer of his time in Chicago;

" Where there is arbitrary power, there is no occasion to study
the law; when the law begins to reign, its teachers and practicers

The first law school in the state and one of the oldest in the nation,
Northwestern University School of Law enjoys a rich heritage. Since
its founding, it has been dedicated to the education of men and

standards of academic and professional excellence. This dedication
marks the character of the School of Law today.
Long identified with progressive movements in legal education,
the School of Law prepares students for the broad challenge of the
future. To this end, the program of instruction is designed to foster
an understanding of the principles that guide growth and change in
the law.
Early in its history the School adopted a policy of limited enrollment to promote educational quality. Today Northwestern remains
a law school of medium size, small in comparison with others of
national standing, with approximately 600 students seeking their first
degree in law. The substantial size of the faculty gives the School
one of the two or three lowest student-faculty ratios among the
leading law schools. This permits a close working relationship between student and teacher and fosters professional training of the
highest order.
The School of Law is one of 13 academic divisions within N_orthwestern University, which was chartered in 1851 as an independent
institution of higher education in Illinois. The University's growth
has paralleled the dynamic rise of Chicago, the metropolitian focus
of the original Northwest Territory.
The School of Law traces its roots to September 21, 1859, when
the now-defunct Chicago University established a law department,
funded by a gift of $5,000 from Chicago attorney Thomas Hoyne.
In 1873, at Hoyne's suggestion, Northwestern and Chicago Universities agreed to jointly administer and support the law department
as "Union College of Law of the Chicago University and Northwestern University." When Chicago University suspended operations
in 1886 due to financial difficulties, Northwestern assumed sole con-
5
�trol of the College. Union College of Law was fully and formally
integrated into Northwestern University as its School of Law in 1891.
Northwestern University has two campuses, both on Lake Michigan. On the 231-acre Evanston campus, 12 miles north of the Chicago campus, are the College of Arts and Sciences; the Technological
Institute; the Schools of Education and Social Policy, Music, and
Speech; the Medill School of Journalism; the J. L. Kellogg Graduate
School of Management; and the Graduate School.
The 20-acre Chicago campus is the home of the School of Law,
the Medical School, the Dental School, the Managers ' Program of
the J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, University College, the Center for Nursing, and McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University.
Northwestern University has more than 2,500 full- and part-time
faculty and an enrollment of about 14,000 men and women, excluding evening and summer students.
Location
The School of Law is ideally located for access to Chicago's business
center and numerous cultural attractions. To the south are the Art
Institute of Chicago, Adler Planetarium, John G. Shedd Aquarium,
the Museum of Science and Industry, the Field Museum of Natural
History, the Chicago Public Library and Cultural Center, and Orchestra Hall, home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Within a
few blocks of the School are the Museum of Contemporary Art and
the new Terra Museum of American Art. To the north is an area of
residential apartments separated from the lake by parks, beaches,
and boating facilities . To the west are Michigan Avenue, Rush Street,
and art galleries, shops, and restaurants . A half-mile to the southwest
is the Loop, the central business and shopping area of Chicago and
the legal and financial center of the region. Here, convenient for
student visits, are the offices of federal, state, and municipal governments, including trial and appellate courts ranging from the local
small-claims courts to the United States Court of Appeals .
Facilities
The School of Law consists of a complex of buildings between Chicago Avenue and Superior Street, west of Lake Shore Drive.
The first of a number of homes for the School of Law was a rented
room at the corner of Clark and Washington streets, in Chicago's
Loop. In 1926, with the completion of the construction of Northwestern's Chicago campus, the School moved to its present site and
occupied Levy Mayer Hall (named in recognition of a gift from Rachel
Mayer in memory of her husband) and the Elbert H . Gary Library.
In 1960, the University completed Robert R. McCormick Hall (named
for Colonel Robert R. McCormick '06 in appreciation of a gift from
6
�the Robert R. McCormick Charitable Trust) and the Owen L. Coon
Library. The most recent addition, the Arthur Rubloff Building, was
completed in August 1984. It doubled existing library space and
greatly expanded student study areas. Classrooms, a moot courtroom, offices, and the 800-seat Thorne Auditorium are housed in
the building. An office tower above the southern end is the national
headquarters of the American Bar Association, the American Bar
Foundation, and the American Bar Endowment. The Rubloff Building was named in honor of Chicago philanthropist and businessman
Arthur Rubloff in appreciation of his major gift to the School of
Law.
The School of Law contains eight major classrooms, the largest
of which, Lincoln Hall, was designed in the architectural style of the
British House of Commons. Most classes, including all those for
first-year students, are divided7nto sections. As a consequence, the
number of students attending a class seldom exceeds 100 and is
often much smaller. Such classes, small by usual law school standards,
encourage responsible participation by each student in the probing,
analytical discussion that is the mark of legal education at Northwestern.
In addition to the major classrooms, the School has seminar rooms
that provide comfortable and congenial surroundings for small study
groups. The seminars for second- and third-year students meet here,
typically with 10 to 15 students seated informally around a table with
7
�one or more faculty members for a detailed analysis of specific problems. In such study, the student bears a large measure of responsibility for giving direction and substance to the discussion.
For instruction in trial and appellate practice, the School has two
fully equipped, modern courtrooms. Complete with witness stand,
jury box, counsel tables, and seating for spectators, they are used
for the teaching of trial practice and occasionally accommodate criminal and civil trials conducted by courts sitting in Illinois.
Although students and faculty spend most of their time in classrooms and the library, provision has been made for the informal
give-and-take discussions in which student lawyers hone their skills
in analysis and expression and for moments of relaxation. Lowden
Hall, named for the first of several of the School's alumni to serve
as governor of Illinois, is a student lounge rich with reminders of
the history of law and the School. The glass-enclosed atrium, which
connects the new and old buildings, is a student commons and
gathering area for members of the School of Law community. On
the lower level of Levy Mayer Hall are lockers, food and beverage
dispensers, an eating area, and a television lounge.
Law Library
The indispensable instruments of the lawyer's calling are books, and
a comprehensive and well-arranged library is essential to effective
training for the profession. The library, with its associated research
facilities, is the heart of the School of Law.
The School of Law Library is housed largely on the second, third,
and fourth floors of the Arthur Rubloff Building. The new facilities
are a harmonious blend of study tables, carrels, group study rooms,
stacks, and lounges. The library also contains book lockers for the
use of all law students. About one-third of the library is housed in
the Elbert H. Gary Library and the Owen L. Coon Library, which
are connected to each other and to the Rubloff Building. The Elbert
H. Gary Library, part of the original School of Law, is named for
the donor of the library, who also established the Elbert H. Gary
Fund, providing for the acquisition of substantial parts of the original
collection and a portion of current acquisitions. Mr. Gary received
his LLB degree from Northwestern in 1867. The Owen L. Coon
Library is named in recognition of a substantial gift from the Owen
L. Coon Foundation, in memory of Mr. Coon, a member of the class
of 1919.
With its collection of more than 400,000 volumes, Northwestern
has one of the largest law libraries in the United States. Even more
important than size, however, is the utility of the collection. The
library is operated with an open-stack policy to bring readers and
books together without unnecessary formalities. The student is free
to browse and to search at will through the collection and may cal 1
upon the expert full-time staff of 32 for guidance, aid, and suggestions. The library is open daily throughout the year and also in the
evenings when the School is in session. To provide for the heavy
8
�demands of faculty research, a separate working collection is maintained in the faculty library. Basic working collections are also available on each floor of the library in the Rubloff Building and in a
reserve room on the main floor of the Elbert H. Gary Library.
The course of instruction has been designed not only to provide
basic instruction in the use of legal materials but also to encourage
full use of the library's large resources and to afford every student
extensive opportunity for independent, scholarly research.
The library's Anglo-American collection includes all the reported
decisions of the courts of the United States and its states and territories and of Great Britain and the Commonwealth, together with
their statutes and session laws and subsidiary publications-digests,
encyclopedias, annotated cases, textbooks, periodicals, bibliographies-necessary to form a complete working collection for every
legal system in the English language. This Anglo-American collection
is supplemented by a selection of works in the fields of history,
economics, government, and social sciences. The library also receives
virtually every current legal periodical of general interest printed in
the English language. In addition, it maintains a well-selected, comprehensive collection of United States government documents.
In 1978, the Law Library was designated a government depository
library. The University Library on the Evanston campus has been a
government depository library for many years, and those documents
are available on interlibrary loan.
About one-fourth of the School's total collection is made up of
works in the fields of foreign and international law housed in the
Elbert H. Gary and Owen L. Coon libraries. The materials in foreign
law include the codes, treatises, decisions, and journals of most major
European countries and good working collections for a number of
other nations. At an early date the library began to build a complete
collection in the law of nations, going beyond domestic laws to
emphasize the rules oflaw controlling their relations with each other.
This large collection includes the documents of the international
organizations, the international courts, treaty series, and official diplomatic documents, treatises, monographs, and periodicals from all
parts of the world. The collection permits original and useful work
to be carried on in the field of public and private international law.
Holdings in specialized fields include an extensive collection of
treatises, periodicals, and documents in criminal law and its administration. In addition, the library includes outstanding collections of
medieval law, jurisprudence, legal history, and comparative law and
valuable resources in Roman law.
The School of Law Library is independent in administration and
organization, but its comprehensive resources are supplemented in
specialized areas through interlibrary loans and other cooperative
arrangements with the University Library, departmental libraries, and
the major public, educational, and legal collections in the region.
A special feature of the library is its distinguished rare book collection, housed in the Hardy Scholars Treasure Room and the Hodes
9
�Rare Book Room. These early volumes, numbering some 2,500, have
been acquired through the years and represent a variety of fields.
Many are first editions of the classics of the law, including a number
of manuscripts and incunabula (books printed before 1500). Some
are the only copies in the Western Hemisphere or are otherwise
unique. Especially notable are the Williams•Collection of Legal Instruments dating from 1300 to 1700, which comprises more than
500 original manuscripts executed in connection with landed estates,
and the George W. Shaw Collection of Early European Law, established in 1949 by alumnus Joseph L. Shaw LLB '03.
Provision also has been made for use of the materials of future
legal research. A section of the library is fitted with microfilm and
microfiche equipment. The library also is equipped with LEXIS and
WESTLAW computer research systems. Legal information, quickly
accessible through LEXIS and WESTLAW, is stored electronically
in expanding databases. Six terminals are located in the library and
are available to all students for online use. Video equipment located
in several rooms allows individuals and groups to view videotapes.
With the aid of a grant from the Woods Charitable Fund Inc., the
library is converting all its cataloging records from printed cards to
computer-readable format. All books received by the library since
January 1, 1981, and a growing number of earlier books, are accessed
through the LUIS computer system, maintained cooperatively with
10
�the University's main library. As the School of Law Library catalog
is being computerized, it is also being brought into conformity with
the latest cataloging standards and is being classified according to
the subject classification system of the Library of Congress.
The library also has two lounges for general reading. Comfortably
furnished, the lounges offer current periodicals and a broad selection
of biographical and miscellaneous works.
Student Residences
When living and working together, law students gain advantages that
are significant if not readily apparent. Casual conversation and earnest discussion contribute to the development of the prospective
lawyer's powers and personality. The stimulation and discipline students give one another may have a helpful impact in the classroom.
The ancestors of the modem law school, the English Inns of Court,
depended solely upon the influences of students living, eating, and
arguing informally together to produce lawyers of professional qualification. For the student who resides in one of the campus housing
facilities, the School of Law becomes the center of everyday life. The
library and the classrooms are accessible, the distractions of commuting are avoided, and the student can concentrate on preparing
for the practice of law.
For these reasons many law students, with the possible exception
of married students and those whose homes are within easy commuting distance of the School, choose to live in either Lake Shore
Center or Abbott Hall. Both facilities are designed to provide convenient living quarters and an atmosphere for development of personal qualities essential to a lawyer but often fall outside the sphere
of formal training.
Lake Shore Center, acquired in 1977 by the University, was formerly the Lake Shore Club of Chicago, a club and residential hotel
built during the 1920s. The 18-story complex contains more than
400 rooms with private baths, a swimming pool, racquetball and
squash courts, a weightroom, and other facilities, including a steam
room and a sauna. Lake Shore also offers a diverse intramural sports
program. Located one block north of the School of Law, the residence hall offers convenient housing· in one of the city's most desirable residential districts, at a price within student budgets.
Abbott Hall, across the street to the south of the School of Law,
is an 18-floor residential structure that has served the School well
for many years. The building includes a bookstore, cashier's office,
squash courts, and other recreational facilities . The convenient location and affordable room rates have made Abbott Hall a popular
housing option.
ll
�Most accommodations in both residence halls are double rooms,
though some single rooms are available. Abbott Hall also offers a
limited number of furnished one-room efficiency apartments and
one-bedroom apartments for married students.
All sports and recreational facilities in both Lake Shore Center
and Abbott Hall are available to all students whether they live in the
buildings or not.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the Abbott Hall cafeteria,
either on an individual meal basis or under a variety of board contracts. A rathskeller serving beer, wine, and sandwiches is operated
in Lake Shore Center.
Student Health Service
All new full-time students are required to file with the Student Health
Service a completed medical form, including a recent physical examination.
The Student Health Service for all students on the Chicago campus is located at room 334, 222 East Superior Street. Available
medical services and limited hospital and surgical coverage are described in the Student Health Bulletin, which each student receives
upon initial registration.
It is a requirement for registration that all full-time students have
a comprehensive hospitalization plan, either the Northwestern Student Hospitalization Plan or one comparable to it. Proof of an existing plan is required. All students are encouraged to read carefully
the insurance information that is mailed to them.
The clinic is open weekdays from 8 a .m . to 4:30 p.m. Physicians'
hours are posted on the Student Health Service bulletin board. In
an emergency, a student may report to the Student Health Service
during regular clinic hours. Students who become acutely ill outside
those hours should report to the emergency room of Northwestern
Memorial Hospital, one block from the School of Law. This will be
covered by the student's hospitalization plan.
Medical expenses that have not been authorized by the Student
Health Service are the financial responsibility of the student. Specialty consultations beyond those provided by the Health Service are
advised as indicated, but are the financial responsibility of the student.
12
�The Faculty
The basic instruction in the School of Law program is conducted by
a full-time resident faculty that makes teaching its first responsibility.
Most members are experienced in private practice or have held government posts; many consult and advise government agencies and
private groups; and a number are involved in the organization and
affairs of the profession and the community. Their activities and
varied academic interests complement and enrich their instruction
and contribute to a high degree of innovation in both teaching and
scholarship. Interaction with faculty from Northwestern's Evanston
campus, with the research staff of the neighboring American Bar
Foundation, and with members of the faculties of other universities
contribute further to the vital atmosphere at the School of Law.
Biographical and bibliographical information about members of
the faculty of Northwestern University School of Law appears in the
faculty issue of The Northwestern Reporter, the Law Alumni Association
magazine.
The traditional method by which universities throughout the world
recognize and honor faculty members is through endowed professorships. Current professorships at the School of Law are as follows:
the John Henry Wigmore Chair, established in 1966 in honor of the
late Dean Wigmore; the Frederic P. Vose Chair, established in 1966
through a bequest from May Mason Vose in memory of her husband,
a member of the class of 1894; the Edna B. and Ednyfed H. Williams
Memorial Professorship of Law, established in 1969 through a bequest from Mrs. Williams in honor of her husband, a member of the
class of 1909; the Owen L. Coon Chair of Law, honoring Mr. Coon,
a member of the class of 1919, and established in 1974 by the Owen
L. Coon Foundation; the William W. Gurley Memorial Professorship
in Law, established in 1975 through a bequest from Helen K. Gurley
in memory of her father; the Louis Ancel Chair in Law and Public
Policy, established in 1987 by Louis Ancel, a member of the class
of 1931; and the Beatrice Kuhn Chair, established in 1987 by Neil
G. Bluhm, a member of the class of 1962.
In 1982, a gift from the Kitty Perkins Foundation and the M. R.
Bauer Foundation established the Perkins-Bauer Teaching Professorship, which is awarded to faculty members on a rotating basis for
one semester to work on effectiveness and efficiency in classroom
teaching. In 1984, the School announced the establishment of the
Stanford Clinton Sr. Research Professorship, a rotating professorship
13
�that is held for a year and enables the recipient to devote time to
research. Stanford Clinton is a member of the class of 1931. In 1987,
the Pritzker Foundation established the Jack N. Pritzker Distinguished Visiting Professorship in memory ofJack N. Pritzker, a member of the class of 1927.
The School has two named lectureships for adjunct faculty. By a
bequest in 1969, Bertha Ray Harriman established the Edward A.
Harriman Lectureship on International Economic Relations in honor
of her husband. In his will in 1977, William Mavor Trumbull provided
funds for the William M. Trumbull Lectureship. Mr. Trumbull, who
graduated from the School of Law in 1941, was a member of the
faculty from 1952 to 1965. (More information about the School's
professorships and lectureships appears in the section on endowments.)
Included in the faculty list below is reference to the Robert
Childres Memorial Award for Teaching Excellence, a prize established by the Student Bar Association in 1978. Each spring, after a
Dean &bert W Bennett addresses University officials,
School of Law faculty, alumni, students, and staff after
his appointment in 1985 as dean. He has been a member
of the faculty since 1969.

�student vote, the SBA president presents a silver trophy to the faculty
member who best exemplifies excellence in the art of teaching. Robert Childres, who died in 1976, was a member ofNorthwestern's law
faculty for nine years and was known for the quality of his teaching
and for his interest in the intellectual development of his students.

�Instruction
''[Here the] teaching will ... give men what they want to
know when they go out to fight, but . . . it will send them forth
with a pennon as well as with a sword, to keep before their
eyes in the long battl.e the little flutter that means ideals, honor,
yes, even romance, in all the dull details. "
-Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, at the dedication of earlier
School of Law buildings, October 20, 1902.
Northwestern University School of Law prepares its students for
effective service in all fields of law-private practice, careers in government and the public interest, commerce and finance, the judiciary,
and legal education. The curriculum does not concentrate upon
imparting knowledge of the legal rules applicable in any one jurisdiction or region; it concentrates upon the development of the fundamental capacities and skills of the lawyer.
Human activity is infinitely varied and everchanging. Law, bringing
order and direction to human relations, involves a continuous process of growth and adjustment. Every legal problem that comes to
the lawyer is, in a sense, unique. Effective professional education
must, therefore, prepare the student to deal with situations never
before encountered, to direct the resources of the law to new fields
of human endeavor, and to handle not the problems of the past but
the cases of the future.
Reflecting this objective, the program of instruction in the School
of Law differs markedly from the usual undergraduate instruction.
It requires, of course, diligence and effort for a mastery of the formal
materials of the course. Beyond this foundation, the instruction demands of the individual student the thought and initiative needed
to extend learning beyond the limits of the materials and to stretch
powers of analysis . As the lawyer must deal with new situations
throughout professional life, so the law student is taught to transcend
rote learning and to find his or her way in unfamiliar contexts. The
result is an intellectual challenge that is rewarding and stimulating.
Classes
In the opinion of the faculty, courses totaling 16 credit hours in any
term represent the maximum amount of work that a good student
can do effectively under favorable conditions. 9n the other hand,
each student is expected to _register for no fewer than 14 credit hours

be permitted to take 17 hours. &.o. c/tu.u ao 1:2. '3::__ef!j!_-6s
The law student Iypically attends classes rf1r 15 or 16 hours a we('.k.
Class meetings are scheduled throughout the morning and afternoon, Monday through Friday, witA tim@ ;QF st1:1d, bct .. ccn classes.
Two or three times the number of hours spent in class are devoted
to individual study. Time spent in co-curricular activities and independent research must be added to the requirements of course work.
The study of law, therefore, is a full-time occupation.
In a typical term, the student's class attendance is distributed
among four or five courses. Some of the subjects represent ancient
categories of the law. Course titles such as Criminal Law, Property,
Contracts, and Torts go back, as separate topics , to the days of Lord
Coke and Blackstone. But life has changed since those early days in
the law, and even these traditional subjects have altered substantially
in content. Today in Torts, the focus is on such disparate objects as
the automobile and the atom and on the legal problem each presents
to an energized society. Property law today concerns itself not only
with ancient learning but also with topics such as urban renewal and
air rights. Criminal law more and more is concerned with psychiatry,
with modern correctional theories, and with protection of the fundamental rights of the accused. The law of contracts today finds itself
dealing with and adjusting to the subject matter of tomorrow.
31
l?)
�The changing character of law is reflected in the content of traditional courses, altered to keep pace with a changing society. It is
reflected, too, in the newer courses introduced into the curriculum
to deal with emerging areas of legal service. The lawyer is a fulltime student for only one period in his or her professional life. Within
the limits of the possible, education in that brief span must be for
the responsibilities of the legal profession, not just for the day but
for the half-century of work that lies ahead. Labor Law, Taxation,
and Administrative Law were introduced into the basic program of
the School of Law during the formative years of those subjects,
anticipating the current recognition of their significance. Courses
and seminars in International Law, Scientific Evidence, and Consumer Protection are typical of other offerings designed to meet the
needs of the profession in the years to come.
Methods of Instruction
f
1
In recognition of the lawyer's role in articulating the conflicting
interests of society, instruction in modern\ law schools is conducted
primarily through participation by the class. The student lawyer does
not listen passively in a lecture audience. To maximize the opportunity for active participation afforded each student, Northwestern
University School of Law has adopted a curricular policy emphasizing
instruction through relatively small classes and seminars. The entering class of 200 is divided into two or more sections for each
course. Second- and third-year classes may range in sizi from 20 to
100. Seminars are limited in enrollment and commonly_range in size
from 10 to 15 students. Advanced individual work is conducted under
the personal supervision of one or more members of the faculty.
Instruction of this kind requires a low student-faculty ratio. The
program of the School is based upon the conviction that this concentration of educational resources upon the individual student is
the most effective way to develop the skills that distinguish the legal
profession.
Case Method. The case method of teaching, employed principally in
the formal courses, particularly those offered in the first year, is
founded upon the premise that the first objective of law training is
to develop an understanding on the part of the students of how and
why the courts decide cases as they do. The method was adopted at
Northwestern University School of Law in the earliest years of its
development. The materials of study are the actual decisions of
courts, embodied in written opinions rendered in real and disputed
cases, rather than a textbook compendium of legal rules. The cases
themselves are the specimens of legal controversy to be examined
and dissected. The student is brought to the level of a participant
in the proceeding, analyzing each stage in the course of litigation
and each step in the process of decision. Through painstaking scrutiny of a large number of cases, the student shares vicariously the
experiences of the lawyers and judges who participated in them and
gains an understanding of the judicial process based on first-hand
observation of the law in action.
32
�Although use of the case method varies with the approach of the
professor, the teaching styles grouped under this heading have common characteristics.
Under the case system it is essential that students prepare thoroughly before class. The course materials for this preparation consist
of a case book, a collection of actual decisions in related kinds of
controversy. The class session in a case-taught course typically does
not offer a lecture but rather a discussion of several of these cases,
conducted in the manner of a Socratic dialogue between the teacher
and students. Questions are designed to test the student's understanding of the case, to identify the considerations that controlled
the decision, and to probe its implications for similar situations and
its relation to other decisions.
Although the professor may depart from the interrogating role to
explain the background of a legal problem or to give direction to
the class discussion, the essence of the case method is the collective
probing and searching in which the student's own powers of reason
and analysis are tempered and developed. The system is in fact
designed to revert to the student, after he or she has digested and
evaluated the wide range of ideas developed in group discussion,
the task of developing an understanding, first, of what courts and
administrative agencies do and why they do it and, second, of how
to participate effectively in the process. From the outset of a law
school career the student is thus led to do what one has to do
throughout professional life-think, analyze, and decide on one's
own initiative.
Problem Method. The problem method, an instructional technique that
originated at the School of Law and now widely employed throughout
legal education, is used in many second- and third-year courses.
Here the emphasis is not upon the cases or administrative decisions
as such. The focus of the student's work and of the class session is
rather a set of facts raising legal problems for which there may indeed
be no authoritative solution. The student's task is to take the available
materials in the form of decisions, statutes, and administrative rulings
and to construct or create a solution to the problem.
Perhaps the problem is set at the stage when an individual asks
for advice on a proposed transaction. Or the transaction may already
have taken place, and the problem concerns the consequences to be
attached to the transaction by the federal or state government by
way of taxation or regulation. In short, the problems are much like
those that come to the lawyer in actual practice, and in fact they are
frequently drawn from life. Consultative practice by some members
of the faculty and the generally close relationship between the School
and the practicing professional combine to provide the student in a
problem-method course with an experience that closely approximates the practice of law.
Characteristically, in a course taught by this method, the student
submits before the class session a short memorandum solution to
the problem, based on his or her analysis ofrelevant source material.
33
�In the class session, the student or a classmate is invited to explain
the legal issues presented by the problem situation and the views
he or she takes of those issues. Discussion follows.
Clinical Education. Clinical education is a vital part of the School of
Law curriculum. The School has developed a sequence of clinical
courses, culminating in actual practice in the third year under the
supervision of faculty attorneys. This sequence of courses is designed
to bring together training in practical skills, analytical processes,
ethics, and professional responsibility. The Legal Clinic's staff has
a minimum of five full-time faculty attorneys. Each year a large
number of students in the School participate in some phase of the
clinical program.
In 1910, Northwestern began giving law students actual experience
in practice by having them assist in providing legal services to the
poor. This method of instruction has been a part of the curriculum
since that time and is now developed in clinical programs and courses
supervised by the faculty . In the Northwestern University Legal
Clinic, ~tudents working under faculty supervision gain practical experience in interviewing clients and witnesses and in preparing pleadings, briefs, and other documents. Students also participate in trials
and in appellate arguments.
The clinical experience begins with the first-year legal writing and
research program that provides instruction. Practicing the lawyer's
skills, the student is required to prepare a written brief in compliance
with preyailing professional standards and to argue the case, opposed
by a fellow student, under courtroom conditions before an appellate
court composed of alumni and faculty members. This briefing and
oral-argument program is known as the Arlyn Miner First-Year Moot
Court Program. This instruction is continued on a voluntary basis
in the second year in the Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition.
In the second year, the student is offered the courses ~nseiiif'g?"'

and Clinical Trial Advocacy. These
courses provide the student with experience in pretrial preparation,
examining witnesses, presenting evidence, and arguing to a mock
jury. The student thus learns by doing, not merely by precept, what
the trial lawyer must be able to do in court. These second-year
courses are designed to prepare students for practice in the third
year under the supervision of Legal Clinic faculty attorneys.
Third-year students can elect a clinical practice experience that
involves significant case responsibiltiies and student practice in state
and federal courts. Under the rules of the Supreme Court of Illinois,
qualified third-year students actually appear in court on behalf of
Clinic clients. Clinic courses have enrollment limits. The School
cannot ensure that all students wishing to enroll in a particular
seminar, course, or program can be accommodated.
Seminars. Seminars are offered in a variety of fields in the second
and third years . Here the student is free to select subjects of special
interest and to explore new areas of the law. In a gro

aspect of the general subject embraced by the seminar. Many seminars cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries and include materials and participants from such fields as economics, sociology,
psychiatry, and political science. Often the seminar student writes a
major paper and presents this product of his or her research and
analysis to the seminar group for critical consideration. In their
second year, students may register for no more than one seminar in
any semester. Third-year students may register for no more than
two seminars.
Legal Writing Skills. Every student is offered the opportunity to develop legal writing skills. As described above, during the first year,
each student is required to take a course that provides supervised
experience in written legal communication as well as instruction in
legal process. In the second and third years, further experience is
gained in supervised writing. Before graduation each student is required to complete one or more of the following:
(1) Editorial work meeting established standards on the Northwestern
University Law Review, the journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, or
the Northwestern journal of International Law & Business.
(2) Participation in the Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition
during the second year and in the National Moot Court Competition
as a member of a School of Law team during the third year.
(3) Participation as a member of the School of Law team in the
Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition.
(4) Participation in the Senior Research Program.
(5) Enrollment in a seminar requiring presentation of preliminary
and revised drafts of a paper that receives careful editorial criticism
prior to submission of the final draft.
35
�Senior Research Program. The Senior Research Program in the third
year is an innovation Northwestern introduced in 1966. Under this
program, a student, with faculty approval, elects to devote up to 12
credit hours to advanced research under the personal supervision
of one or more members of the faculty. During the second year, a
student interested in this program may choose a research subject
with the assistance and approval of a faculty member who is interested in the same field and who will serve as the student's supervisor.
Because of the flexibility of the curriculum, the student may arrange
a schedule to include courses and seminars that provide necessary
background for the proposed work. In the third year, the student
meets at least weekly with the faculty supervisor to discuss the progress of the research. The final paper or report must be approved by
a second faculty member.
The aim is not in itself to make a specialist of the student, but
rather to afford the student the intellectual experience of fully exploring a subject; of sharpening the powers of analysis, observation,
and communication; and of making a genuine contribution to research. Depending upon the nature of the subject, projects may
require research in the law library and also may draw upon other
resources, including libraries in the University and the community;
departments of the University, where courses or seminars related to
the field of inquiry may be taken; or the community itself, for field
research.
Faculty participants in the program carry a classroom teaching
load that is lighter than normal so that they may devote more time
to the research, discussion, and criticism necessary to take the inquiry
well beyond the bounds of traditional individual study projects or
seminar work. Indeed, in many cases, work in the program grows
into joint, cooperative student-teacher research projects. Many books
and articles have been published as a result.
The Senior Research Program offers many challenges and rewards.
The individual learning and teaching offered by the program provide
significant enrichment for students willing and able to meet its demands for initiative, self-discipline, and hard work. The program
also serves the School's established goal of making increased contributions on the frontiers of the law.
Most sig·1ificant of all, perhaps, are the opportunities for student
and teacher to work together in concrete ways toward the common
end of advancing the highest traditions of the law as a learned
profession and as a servant of society.
Juris Doctor Program
In the last century, Northwestern, setting the norm in legal education,
was among the first of the nation's law schools to require three years
of study for a degree in law. Students seeking a Juris Doctor UD)
degree enter the School of Law in late August and attend the two
semesters of the regular academic year for three years.
36
�During the first year of law study, the student follows a course
designed to provide an understanding of basic legal principles and
concepts and give a solid grounding in the fundamentals indispensable for all branches of the profession. Here the student encounters
the grand divisions of private law-property, tort, and contract-as
well as criminal law and civil procedure. The year-long program in
legal writing focuses on the development of the lawyer's basic skills
in the uses of research tools and writing and culminates in the preparation of briefs and presentation of oral arguments in moot court.
In the second half of the first year, the student is required to
choose a "perspective" elective course. The elective may be satisfied
by the courses in International Law, English or American Legal
History, or by one of a group of courses dealing with the relationship
of law to the social sciences.
Each entering student is assigned a faculty member as adviser.
This advisory relationship is available in the first year to ease the /'l, .
adjustment to the demands of law study. Thereafter, the adviser/..,1'1
becomes guide and mentor as the student plans the work of his or
her last two years .
The wide range of electives offered by the School of Law in the
second and third years enables students who so wish to attain a
degree of concentration. Moreover, seminars often provide opportunities for further exploration of a field in a new context. For
example, questions of criminal procedure may be treated in a paper
written for the civil liberties seminar or the underpinnings of constitutional law may be studied in a seminar on comparative law or
jurisprudence. Perhaps most significant, however, is the opportunity
to sample a wide variety of problems in the law and to foster new
interests thus discovered. For those courses that have two sections,
the School's policy of scheduling the sections at different times and
often in different semesters is intended to permit students to select
virtually any combination of elective courses in the last two years.
Other scheduling policies and a prerequisite system facilitate selection of offerings in logical progression and permit adequate preparation for advanced individual work in the programs of the third
year.
Additional interdisciplinary opportunities are provided by the option that allows students, subject to certain restrictions, to receive
up to six hours of credit toward the JD degree for graduate level
courses taken in other schools and departments of Northwestern
University.
Juris Doctor-Master of Management Program
A student at Northwestern University may earn a Juris Doctor (JD)
degree and a Master of Management (MM) degree during a period
of four years by enrolling in both tJ:ie School of Law and Northwestern's J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management as a participant in the combined degree program.
37
y
�If earned independently, these degrees would require a total of
five years of study. Under the combined degree program, the JD
degree may be earned by taking a minimum of 72 semester hours
in the School of Law, an additional 14 semester hours of credit
toward this degree being given for work completed in the Kellogg
School. Similarly, the MM degree may be earned by taking 18 course
units of work, additional credit for five courses being given for work
completed in the School of Law.
The precise order in which work is taken may be determined
individually. A typical program might be a full year of study in one
school and a full year of study in the other, followed by combined
study in both schools during the third and fourth years. Every participant, however, must complete one academic year of study exclusively in each school before taking courses in the same term in both
schools.
Applicants planning to enter the combined degree program are
advised to file admission applications at the same time in both
schools, in accordance with the procedures of each school. To be
eligible for the combined program a student already admitted to one
school should file a timely application and be admitted to the other
school within the first academic year following entry into the first
school, at the latest. By petition to the School of Law and with the
permission of the Kellogg School, for compelling reasons only, a
law student also may seek eligibility for the program by timely application to Kellogg during the second year of Law School.
In no case will either school admit applicants to the combined
degree program who have completed their course work in the first
school before entering the second school. The complete separation
of studies that this would allow is not conducive to the mutually
reinforcing interdisciplinary experience in both schools that the combined degree program seeks to promote. Applicants who have completed their degree program in either school are, of course, welcome
to apply for admission to the other school as a degree candidate
under its regular program. Applicants to either school planning to
enter the combined degree program should so indicate at the time
of application.
A student in the combined program may be considered for financial assistance separately by each school for the first year of enrollment in that school and by both schools when taking courses in both
schools.

�Juris Doctor-Doctor of Philosophy Program
Northwestern University has pioneered in research integrating the
study of law and the social sciences. The program allows students
to earn a Juris Doctor (JD) degree and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
degree in one of the social sciences in five years, comprising four
years of courses and a dissertation year.
The primary objective of this program is to produce scholars who
have the skills necessary to do basic and applied research on legal
systems. To do such research successfully, the scholar must be fully
qualified as a professional, both in law and in social science. Graduates of this program qualify for admission to the bar. They also are
trained in both the theory and methods of social science and experienced in field research on legal systems.
The program admits up to five students per year. Applicants interested in this program may write for further information to the
Secretary,JD-PhD Program, Northwestern University School of Law,
357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
Attendance Regulations
Regular attendance is required in all courses. No student should
enroll in any course without the intention and capability of satisfying
this requirement. Failure to attend regularly may cause reduction in
grades, loss of credit for courses, remedial work, denial of residence
credit, or other appropriate sanctions at the discretion of the instructor or the dean.
Examinations
In accordance with the prevailing practice in legal education, a single
final examination is usually given, without periodic or midterm tests,
to permit comprehensive treatment of the subject matter and to
measure the student's capacity to work with and master a substantial
body of material. Although examinations provide the most important
source for determining the student's relative achievement, consideration may also be given to written work done in connection with
a course and to the preparation of assignments for recitation as
reflected in classroom discussion. In seminars, examinations are not
ordinarily given. Grades are based on the products of individual
research and participation in the seminar discussion.
Honor Code
An important product of the School's philosophy of student responsibility is the Honor Code and the broad authority granted to
the students through the Student Bar Association for its enforcement
and implementation. The basic tenet of the Honor Code is that the
law student, like the lawyer, should be subject to unyielding standards
of honorable conduct. In reliance upon the students' collective sense
of responsibility, examinations are not monitored or supervised by
39
�faculty, staff, or proctors . The Honor Code imposes a strict obligation upon each student to report any apparent infractions to the
students constituting the Judicial Council of the Association. After
a full hearing, the council has the duty to make findings and to
recommend appropriate disciplinary action to the faculty.
The Honor Code covers all academic phases of School of Law
activity. It is expected that the habit fostered by this honor system
will stand the young lawyer in good stead before the bench and bar.
Graduation Requirements
Specific graduation requirements and details of the grading system
are set forth in the Rules of Northwestern University School of Law, published separately.
In general, to be recommended for the degree of Juris DoctQr, a
student must complete and earn credit in the 15 semester hours of
the first semester, which are evaluated on a credit/no credit basis.
In addition a student must earn credit and maintain a satisfactory
grade level for the remaining 15 semester hours of required firstyear course@
e courses in Legal Ethics and Constitutional Law I,
and at leas 51 semester hours of elective wi rk in not less than six
.

the writing requirement described in the section on Legal Writing
Skills.
The grading system provides for letter grades A+, A, B +, B, C + ,
C, D, and F. To remain in good standing and for graduation purposes, a student's average must fall between a C + and a C for credit
hours attempted after the first semester.
The faculty may change the requirements for graduation at any
time. This responsibility, however, is not exercised in a manner that
will place an undue burden upon an enrolled student who has
planned his or her program on the basis of previously announced
requirements. Instructors may establish one or more prerequisites
for enrollment in particular courses and seminars in the second and
third years. Courses listed as concurrent requisites may be courses
taken previously or concurrently.
Degrees are conferred by the trustees of the University upon students who are recommended by the faculty of the School of Law.
Before a student is recommended for a degree, he or she must have
satisfied the faculty as to character, have complied with the requirements for the degree, and have paid all fees.
Degrees conferred upon students who have already obtained their
first degrees in law are described in the Graduate Study section of
the Bulletin.
Honors and Prizes
John Paul Stevens Prize for Academic Excellence. Established in 1986 by
30 current and former law clerks of Associate Justice of the U.S.
Supreme Court John Paul Stevens, who graduated from the School
of Law in 194 7, this prize is awarded annually to the member of the
graduating class with the highest grade-point average for the six
semesters of study.
Cum Laude. When the faculty believes that the candidate's record of
scholarship merits special recognition, a degree may be awarded cum
laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude.
Order of the Coif. In 1907, the Order of the Coif was founded at
Northwestern. It has since become the recognized national honor
society in legal education, with more than 45 chapters established
in leading law schools. The Northwestern chapter of the Order of
the Coif annually elects from the senior class a number of persons,
not exceeding 10 percent of the class, who on the basis of scholarship,
contribution, and character are deemed worthy of the honor.
Wigmore Key. Established in 1949-50, the award is made by the Student
Bar Association to the member of the senior class who has done the
most for the School toward preserving its traditions. Selection is
made by the graduating class and the faculty.
41
�Lowden-Wigmore Prizes. Income from a fund established by the late
Frank 0. Lowden, class of 1887, is used annually to provide prizes
totaling approximately $1,000. The prizes, awarded for ability to
marshal authority, present arguments effectively in written form, and
speak lucidly and convincingly in public, go to students for the best
written contributions to the Northwestern University Law Review, the
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, and the Northwestern Journal of
International Law & Business and to the finalists in the annual Julius
H. Miner Moot Court Competition. The Moot Court Competition
prizes are the William Jennings Bryan Award for the best argument
in the final round and the Adlai E. Stevenson Jr. Award for best
brief.
Barnet and Scott Hodes Prize. Income from a fund established by Barnet
Hodes, class of 1921, is used to provide two prizes for papers prepared by students dealing with the law of local government.
Hyde Prize. Income from a fund, the gift of the late Professor Charles
Cheney Hyde, is awarded not more often than once in two years
under such conditions as the faculty may impose for the best paper
written by a student in the School of Law on a subject relating to
international law.
Arlyn Miner Book Awards. Established in 1986 by Mrs. Julius H. Miner
in memory of her daughter, an award is presented to the first-year
student in each legal writing section who writes the best brief during
the second semester.
Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition Plaque. To recognize excellence
in the skills of brief writing and oral argument, the January 1962
graduating class has provided a plaque on which is engraved each
year the names of the winning team in the Julius H. Miner Moot
Court Competition. The plaque is on display at the School.
Harold D. Shapiro Prize. A fund was established in 1977 by Stephen

�Curriculum
The School of Law curriculum offers students an opportunity to
sample a wide variety of areas of the law. The first year consists of
30 hours ofrequired courses, including Legal Writing and one course
from a selection of "perspective" electives. First-year required
courses are justified in part by their fundamental nature and by a
variety of educational objectives that are unique to the first year.
After the first year, all courses except Constitutional Law I and
Legal Ethics are elective. In addition, each student must complete
an upperclass supervised writing requirement. This requirement.ca.· n J /1 ,
be met in several ways: by a seminar paper, by the Senior Researc;h
Program, or by work on one of the legal publications. The result' is
;1
that each law student has a rigorous writing experience in the fi;,.~
year and in at least one of the last two years .
The remaining second- and third-year curriculum presents a rich
variety of courses designed to develop the student's abilities and
professional skills . For example, courses in Civil Procedure, Evidence, and Federal Jurisdiction prepare the student for concentration
in federal litigation and the clinical sequence. Similarly, the course
in administrative law is important for a concentration in labor or
antitrust law. The objective is not to prepare specialists but to develop essential professional skills as the student moves from the
general to the specific and from basic to more advanced problems
and levels of analysis. The Senior Research Program, which has
produced distinguished scholarly publications, and the Legal Clinic,
in which third-year students have a conditional privilege to practice
in Illinois state and federal courts, are examples of the opportunities
that the elective curriculum creates and encourages.
Comprehensive descriptions of courses and the texts used in them
are printed every year in the Curriculum Guide, distributed to all students. Content of courses vary according to the professor, and students should consult the guide for more detailed descriptions. The
brief descriptions on the following pages, however, provide general
information about courses offered at the School of Law.

prospective economic relationships? When should an actor be liable when his
negligent conduct causes only economic loss? What is the proper limitation on

International Law, Advanced Problems in (Seminar, 3 hours) This seminar examines the leading modern theory of international relations, best described as
international political economy, which appears to provide a valuable new perspective on international legal problems. The theory sees the structure of the
international system as the primary influence on what occurs in international
life. Since there is no central government in international society and since by
assumption states are rational self-interested actors, the theory sees the structure
of this society as analogous to that of a market. This analogy is important in
understanding the "demand" for international rules and institutions and international cooperation generally: states desire such things to correct for "market
failures" in the international system. On the "supply" side-that is, understanding how international rules and institutions are established-economic analysis
is used as well, but the emphasis here is on strategic interaction. In both cases,
some of the important situations can be described using simple game theory
models. Readings are primarily from the international relations literature rather
than from the legal literature; discussions include general and specific applications to international legal topics .

of the seminar, and assigned to individual students for the writing of opinions.
These opinions are circulated to the seminar for final vote. Writing credit may
be obtained by suitable revision of the opinions. The principal purposes of the
seminar are to deepen understanding of Supreme Court litigation and adjudication and to improve skills in writing and oral advocacy. Each student writes
at least one court opinion. Assigned readings consist of Supreme Court briefs
and court opinions.

income taxation of corporations and their shareholders. Corporate formation,
distributions, liquidations, and reorganizations are examined primarily through
study of Internal Revenue Code and the case law. In specific areas, additional
attention is given to administrative regulations and rulings to assure a general
awareness of the primary source materials in the tax field. Particular effort is
made to identify and analyze those situations with significant tax ramifications
most frequently confronted by the general corporate lawyer. Prerequisites: Corporations; Federal Individual Income Tax.
Tax, Federal Income, Policy and Procedures (Seminar, 2 or 3 hours) This seminar
examines various topics in federal income tax policy, both as they have led to
the existing structure of the Internal Revenue Code, and as they continue to
shape its development. Particular attention is given to the impact of current
legislative, administrative, and judicial procedures on the structure and workability of the resulting law. To allow discussion of this interaction, materials
dealing with federal income tax procedures (including the jurisdiction of the
several federal courts over taxation questions, Internal Revenue Service Procedures, and the development of legislative history and the political process

of tort cases.
Torts II (Course, 3 hours) A continuation of Torts I.
Torts, Advanced (Seminar, 2 hours) This seminar focuses on currently controversial issues in tort law. The overall approach is systemic, with the focal question
being why tort law has developed as it has in America. The seminar analyzes
principal present criticisms of tort doctrine and the tort system, with attention
to the question oflegislative reform of such areas as products liability and medical
malpractice. Other substantive areas that may be covered include "toxic torts"
and the liabilities of governments and officers. The seminar also inquires into
the linkages of tort law with fundamental processes of American justice, particularly adversary process and the use of juries.

the Federal Trade Commission and others.
Trial Practice I (Course, 2 hours) This course is an introduction to trial practice.
Using tested hypothetical cases, each student prepares and participates in weekly
problems covering various trial responsibilities, including opening statements,
the direct and cross examination of lay and expert witnesses, the foundation for
exhibits, and closing arguments. Pretrial strategy, trial tactics, objections, the
use of motions, and professional ethics are covered. The students assume the
roles of counsel, the witnesses, and the jurors. Although the instructor demonstrates trial skills from time to time, the primary teaching mode is student
participation with instructor critique. Prerequisites: Civil Procedure I; Evidence.
65
�Trial Practice II (Course, 1 hour) The primary focus of this course is the preparation and conduct of a civil or criminal jury trial. The class meets occasionally
during the semester so that the students have the opportunity to participate in
more advanced problems of opening statements, direct and cross examination
of witnesses, and closing arguments in preparation for the trial. The trials are
held on a Saturday and completed in one day. Each student acts as lead counsel
in the jury trial. A pretrial conference is held with the instructor shortly before
the trial. The final trial is critiqued by the instructor, the presiding judge, and
the jurors. Prerequisites: Civil Procedure I; Evidence; Trial Practice I.
Trial Practice I and II (Course, 3 hours) This one-semester course combines Trial
Practice I and II. The faculty consists of sitting judges and experienced trial
lawyers, all of whom have taught trial practice extensively. Students perform
trial problems as trial counsel in small groups with a faculty member in charge
of each group. These problems include direct and cross examination of lay and
expert witnesses, adverse examinations, introduction of exhibits, impeachment,
opening statements, and closing arguments. Each student's performance is critiqued by a faculty member. Critique of student performances is supplemented
occasionally by faculty demonstrations and short lectures designed to provide
an overview. Many of the student performances are videotaped and reviewed
by a faculty member on an individual basis. In addition, students prepare and
try two complete cases: one a mid-term trial before a judge in the Circuit Court
of Cook County; the other, a final trial before a judge and jury in Federal District
Court. Prerequisites: Civil Procedure I; Evidence.

and the relationship of the l~w to those problem~
heir solution. Focus is
on the national goal of a "decent home ano a suitable living environment" for
all Americans and the attemp s y government and private enterprise to achieve
that goal. It examines the continuing obstacles to achievement of that objective,
including raeia discrimination and financial constraints, and explores alternative
app.r-oaches to these problems, including housing subsidy policies and programs,
nfighborhood revitalization strategies, and landlord-tenant litigation.
White Collar Criminal Prosecutions and Defense (Seminar, 2 hours) Because of
the increased attention being given to white-collar criminal prosecutions and
because white-collar crimes often involve different considerations for the prosecutor, defense attorney, and judge than do the prosecutions of other types of
criminal activities, attorneys representing corporate clients have been called upon
recently to become familiar with criminal activity involving business clients. This
course focuses upon the representation of clients charged with business crime.
In so doing, the course discusses how to represent clients before a grand jury,
how to negotiate and obtain grants of immunity, the Fifth Amendment as a
limitation upon compelled production of documents and testimony, corporate
criminal liability, and various substantive crimes most relevant to white-collar
omen and the Law (Course, 2 hours) This course is a consideration of the sex
roles in contemporary society as they are shaped, constrained, or liberated by
doctrines of constitutional law, family law, labor law, property law, and the like.
Emphasis is placed upon the societal contexts in which doctrinal development
occurred and in which it operates today.

�Student Activities
In the fall of I 859, the dean rescheduled classes and arranged
for the students to observe a federal court case being tried in
the Law School building by several outstanding lawyers of the
day, including Abraham Lincoln.
-Recollections of an alumnus, class of I 860
A well-seasoned aphorism, familiar to law students everywhere, says
law students receive their education from their classmates. Like many
an old saw, the observation contains within its exaggeration a kernel
of truth. Law school instruction is built upon student participation.
Beyond the classroom the student continues professional preparation
in give-and-take discussion, corridor debate, and friendly argument
with colleagues. The vitality of a law school is measured by the quality
and vigor of its student body.
At Northwestern the entering student becomes a member of a
closely knit community of men and women, bound together by a
common pursuit and by the rich traditions of the School. The student
body is comparatively small, averaging approximately 600 students.
The modest size of the School and its instructional policies-the
division of most courses into two or more sections and the wide
range of electives offered after the first year-promote wide acquaintance among students.
The beginner is chosen carefully through a policy of selective
admission designed to assure that every member of the class is
capable oflegal study at the highest and most challenging level. The
student's classmates are high-ranking graduates of the leading colleges and universities in the United States and abroad.
Students benefit from friendly relationships with fellow students
coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. The typical student
body consists of men and women from 40 states and 8 or 10 foreign
countries. Approximately 200 colleges and universities are represented by students enrolled in the School of Law. (See the listing at
the back of the Bulletin .) In 1987-88, 43 percent of the students were
women and 9 percent were minorities . Undergraduate majors vary;
a number of students hold graduate degrees.
Law students tend to be individualistic and venturesome and represent a broad range of opinion and experience. The stimulating
contacts of student life at the School combine to develop a mature,
tolerant, and broadened outlook in the individual student. A healthy
spirit of competition, helpful in encouraging each student to strive
for excellence, complements the kind of comradeship and mutual
respect characteristic of the legal profession.
67
�Co-Curricular Activities
Legal Publications. The tradition in the legal world of accepting as
authoritative professional journals that are written, edited, and published by men and women who have not yet achieved full professional
status is unique. Students at Northwestern are fortunate to have
several regularly published scholarly journals available for research,
writing, and editing: the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, the
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business, and the Northwestern
University Law Review. Selection for membership on a publication is
an honor, a responsibility, and an opportunity. Although there are
many advantages, the true value of membership on a legal publication
lies in the sharpening of legal research, writing, and editing skills essential to the effective practice of law.
Membership on a journal is a two-year commitment. Members are
chosen at the end of a student's first year through a procedure that
may include a writing competition, the completion of an application,
and the evaluation of a student's second-semester grades. Selection
procedures are established by the editors of the journals.
During a student's first year on a journal-the second year of law
school-he or she serves as support staff to the editors, conducting
research, editing, checking citations, and performing a variety of
production tasks. Staff members also are required to complete several drafts of a note or comment of publishable quality. Many of
these student pieces are selected for use each year. Writing credit
is given for the satisfactory completion of the requirement.
In the second year of membership, students are editors and members of the editorial boards. Editorial positions are filled after an
application/interview procedure arranged and adjudicated by the
graduating editors. Editors are responsible for the solicitation, selection, and editing of a variety of scholarly articles by judges, practicing attorneys, professors, and other legal scholars and for the
preparation of student-written material.
The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology is published quarterly,
has a worldwide circulation, and is recognized as the foremost publication of its kind. It is the only student-edited law review published
in the United States that focuses on criminal law and criminology
and is one of the few such publications in the world. This journal,
which was founded by Dean John Henry Wigmore in 1909, has one
of the largest paid circulations among law reviews, and contains
articles on a variety of topics, including white-collar crime, constitutional questions, international law, evidence, jurisdiction, and securities regulation.
The Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business was first
published in 1979 and is recognized as one of the world's leading
periodicals devoted exclusively to private international law. This
journal focuses on the increasing importance of law to international
practitioners and the scholarly development of law affecting international business and commerce. Students who work on the journal
research and write about foreign, comparative, and international law.
68
�Each spring, second-year students participate in the
Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition.
T he Northwestern University Law Review is a leading professional
journal featuring symposia, articles, book reviews, and student-written notes and comments on a variety of legal and interdisciplinary
topics . Originally entitled Northwestern Law Review, the journal was
established by students of the School during the 1892-93 academic
year. After a IO-year suspension, publication was resumed in 1906
under the title Illinois Law R eview. Between 1924 and 1932, editorship
was shared with law students at the University of Chicago and the
University of Illinois. In 1952 when Northwestern assumed the sole
editorship , the name was changed to Northwestern University Law Review.
Specific information about each of Northwestern's legal publications is available from the editors or the Legal Publications office.
Arlyn Miner First-Year Moot Court Program. The briefing and oral argument program of the first- year moot court is known as the Arlyn
Miner First-Year Moot Court Program, in memory of the daughter
of Mrs . Julius H. Miner and the late Judge Miner. Arlyn Miner was
interested in encouraging oral argument in appellate cases. An endowment, provided by Mrs . Miner, her son Judson, daughter-in-law
Linda Miner, and daughter Leslie Miner, supports the cost of administering the program. It is hoped that this special recognition of
first-year moot court work will stimulate students to continue in the
advanced Julius H . Miner Moot Court Competition in the second
year.
Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition. To provide continuing practice
and instruction in appellate advocacy, the Arlyn Miner First-Year
Moot Court Program is supplemented by the Julius H . Miner Moot
Court Competition for second-year students. The program memorializes the late U.S. District CourtJudgeJulius H. Miner, who earned
69
�a graduate degree from the School in 1945. It is supported by an
endowment established by Mrs. Julius H. Miner and family and
friends. The program is administered, under faculty supervision, by
third-year students comprising the Moot Court Board and involves
the preparation of appellate court briefs and presentation of oral
arguments before panels of judges and practicing attorneys. The
cases typically raise issues of current legal importance, more complex
and challenging than those assigned in the regular first-year course.
The final argument is conducted before the entire student body,
customarily with a panel of distinguished judges from the federal
and state benches. Those who have served as presiding judges for
final arguments include Tom C. Clark, Arthur J. Goldberg '30, Thurgood Marshall, William H. Rehnquist, Potter Stewart, John Paul
Stevens '47, and Byron R. White of the Supreme Court of the United
States and Chief Judge Thomas Fairchild of the Seventh Circuit
Court of Appeals. School of Law teams in the National Moot Court
Competition are chosen on the basis of performance in the Miner
Competition.
Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Team. Each year law schools
throughout the United States and in more than 30 countries participate in the Jessup competition. Northwestern teams have been
among the most successful in regional, national, and international
tournaments in written competition, oral argument, and individual
speaker awards.
Jessup team members are selected during their first year following
an intraschool competition for which they write a short memorial
(brief) and present an oral argument before the Jessup Board. The
students then serve the rest of the year as apprentices . As secondyear students, members actively participate on the Jessup team by
writing two memorials on questions of public international law and
by presenting oral arguments. Third-year Jessup Board members are
responsible for selecting a new team and coaching the second-year
team.
Research Assistantships. Each year a number of second- and third-year
students are selected to serve as research assistants to individual
members of the faculty. These appointments carry a modest stipend
and are valued for the opportunities they afford for close contact
with faculty members and for participation in the ongoing scholarly
work and publications of the faculty.
Extracurricular Activities
Student Government: The Student Bar Association. All students are mem-
bers of the Student Bar Association and through it contribute to the
educational and recreational programs of the School. Students are
able to serve on faculty committees by recommendations of the SBA.
SBA committees are responsible for many activities, and SBA members help in planning the orientation program for new students.
Outstanding lawyers, judges, and political figures are frequent vis-
70
�itors to the School as part of the SBA Speakers Program, often
meeting with students at coffee hours following their speeches. The
SBA placement committee plans programs that introduce students
to the various opportunities available in the legal profession. In 1978,
the SBA established the Robert Childres Memorial Award for Teaching Excellence.
Hispanic Law Students Association. Founded in 1975, the Hispanic Law
Students Association is composed of Latino law students at Northwestern. The main purpose of HLSA is to ensure the academic
success of the Latino law student while providing a forum for cultural,
political, and legal awareness .
Asian American Law Students Association. The Asian American Law Students Association was formed in 1982. Some of the purposes of
AALSA are to increase the number of Asian American law students
at Northwestern University and in the legal community; to promote
a deeper understanding of the political, economic, and historical role
of Asians in America; and to establish a national network of exchange
among Asian American law students and attorneys. AALSA sponsors
educational activities and social programs and has worked with the
admission and placement offices to further AALSA's goals. All law
students at Northwestern are invited to become members.
Black Law Students Association. The Black Law Students Association
serves as a forum for the discussion of matters concerning black
students within the School of Law. BLSA promotes the discussion
of legal issues relevant to blacks and, whenever possible, provides
assistance in answering questions raised by these issues. Occasionally
BLSA will express publicly its position on events that significantly
affect the black community. BLSA objectives include increasing the
number of black attorneys in the United States by encouraging interested blacks to pursue a legal education, gaining greater minority
representation on the faculty and throughout the University, and
helping the local black community. BLSA cooperates with chapters
at other Chicago law schools to achieve common objectives. BLSA
participates actively in planning the Minority Job Fair, held in the
fall and cosponsored by the School of Law and several local bar
associations.
Christian Law Fellowship. The Christian Law Fellowship addresses the
concerns of Christian students who are interested in religious activities while attending law school. CLF sponsors Bible-study classes
and religious services.
Federalist Society. The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy
Studies is a national organization with chapters at more than 34 law
schools. It is composed of conservative and libertarian law students,
faculty members, and lawyers who seek to provide an alternative to
what they believe is the liberal ideology widespread among law
schools. Its goal is to create a conservative intellectual network extending to all levels of the legal community. The Northwestern chap-
71
�ter sponsors a variety of panels and discussion programs. The chapter
is open to all and charges no dues. Each year, a national symposium
is held to which every chapter sends representatives. The Federalist
Society also publishes the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. All
members are welcome to contribute articles.
International Law Society. The International Law Society seeks to maintain an awareness in the School of Law community of the various
facets of international law. To further this purpose, the society sponsors speakers on topics such as foreign taxation, international terrorism, and the general practice of international law; prepares a
directory of career opportunities in international law; and attempts
to evaluate, improve, and increase in scope and number the courses
offered at the School in the area of international law.
JD-MM Association. The JD-MM Association, an extension of the combined JD-MM program offered at Northwestern, consists of students
who have undertaken to earn both their Juris Doctor and Master of
Management degrees by simultaneously enrolling in the School of
Law and the]. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management. Members
of the association elect officers and hold meetings to discuss the
operations of the JD-MM program in such areas as career opportunity, registration procedure, and course selection. The association
annually sponsors career seminars with the purpose of meeting
professionals in law and in business who have earned combined
degrees and can offer practical guidelines for career considerations.
Jewish Law Students Association. The Northwestern chapter of the National Jewish Law Students Network was formed to establish a network of exchange among Jewish law students and attorneys
nationally; to promote the education of the political, economic, and
historical role ofJews in America; to seek to improve communication
among its members and other minorities who are involved in legal
careers; and to coordinate cultural and social activities that involve
both Jewish and Israeli interests. Membership is open to all students.
Lesbian and Gay Alliance. The Lesbian and Gay Alliance was founded
to address political, social, academic, and other issues facing lesbian
and gay members of the Chicago campus community.
National Lawyers Guild. The National Lawyers Guild is a bar association
that, since its founding in 1937, has been in the forefront of civil
liberties, social justice, and labor litigation. The Northwestern chapter was founded in 1980-81 and is one of four law school chapters in
Chicago. The guild is open to all students, charges no dues, and has
no hierarchy of officers. Northwestern's chapter sponsors speakers
and films in cooperation with other campus and community organizations. Each year the chapter sponsors an Alternative Practice
Conference to serve students who are interested in public service
law.
72
�Student Funded Public Interest Fellowships. The Student Funded Public
Interest Fellowships was founded in 1978 by a group oflaw students.
This organization's goal is to increase summer work opportunities
for students who are interested in public interest law. SFPIF annually
awards five or six fellowships to students who accept nonpaying or
low-paying summer employment in the public interest. Award recipients are selected from a pool of applicants largely on the basis
of the value to the community of the jobs they have found. Students
can work where such employment would otherwise be unavailable,
and qualified legal assistance is provided to worthwhile organizations
that could not otherwise afford to hire additional staff. Contributions
come from students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
Student Newsletter. Published weekly, Hoops is a student-written newsletter distributed throughout the School. It provides a forum for
communication and features columns and cartoons.
Women 's Caucus. The Women's Caucus, an association of women in
the School of Law, provides a forum for discussion of the concerns
of women seeking a legal education and of women employed within
the legal profession. Members also participate in national conferences and local organizations concerned with women's issues and
are active in sponsoring a "Women in Law" career day. The Extended Study Program, which permits a small number of students
to complete their studies for a JD degree over a four-year period,
was recommended by the Women's Caucus and adopted by the
faculty . Bimonthly meetings provide a forum for discussion of ongoing projects and for guest lecturers to present issues of interest
to women. The caucus also works as a support network for women
in the School.
73
�Supplemental Programs
and Endowed Funds
In the total educational program of the School of Law, the formal
course work within the curriculum is supplemented by a variety of
offerings. Lectures by distinguished scholars, jurists, and statesmen
from the United States and abroad serve as cultural adjuncts to the
regular courses and emphasize the broader public obligations of the
profession. In recognition of Northwestern's role in the life of the
profession, the community, and the nation, the School of Law holds
conferences that bring together leaders for discussion of subjects of
major political importance. Through participation in these programs,
students can broaden their vision and develop the sense of public
responsibility that characterizes the highest traditions of the bar.
Curricular supplements may be presented by the School of Law
as an integral part of the general educational program on an occasional basis and without special sponsorship or are offered as part
of established and continuing programs within the School. The
School also has a variety of endowed funds that have been donated
by alumni and friends the income from which helps the School meet
the needs of the library, sponsors research, and helps pay a wide
variety of operational expenses.
Rosenthal Lectures
The Julius Rosenthal Foundation, which is administered by the
School of Law, was established in 1919 in memory of Julius Rosenthal, an eminent member of the Chicago bar. The funds are devoted

Probability, and the Steel Resource Center. The J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management sponsors a number of research centers,
including the Research Center for Dispute Resolution. School of
Law faculty member Stephen B. Goldberg serves on its board.

�Application and Admission
A bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university is required for enrollment in the School of Law, but no specific fields of
major study or particular courses are viewed as conferring special
advantage for the study of law. Since the reach of the law's concerns
may be as wide as the range of human behavior, prospective lawyers
should seek a sound liberal education to provide a firm foundation
for law school training and the discharge of their professional responsibilities.
College curricula vary, the content of courses bearing the same
title may be dissimilar, and teaching attitudes and emphases differ.
Accordingly, suggestions must be general. Courses in such fields as
history, economics, anthropology, sociology, government, and political science may help students understand the structure of society
and the problems of social ordering with which the law is concerned.
Studies in philosophy and literature may impart a familiarity with
the traditions of thought that have influenced legal developments .
The examination of human behavior in courses in psychology and
its analysis through statistical method may also prove worthwhile.
89
�In developing the skills ofa lawyer, college students should pursue
studies that enhance the power to express themselves with clarity
and force . English, foreign language courses, and public speaking
are recommended, as are other courses in which written work of
high quality is demanded. For the systematic ordering of abstractions
and ideas, the physical, natural, and mathematical sciences, in addition to logic, are suggested.
Apart from subject matter, students preparing for the study of law
should take courses of sufficient difficulty to develop the rigorous
intellectual discipline essential to success in law school. They would
be well advised to pursue study in some definite field far enough to
attain a mastery of the subject. Typical students who follows their
own interests and tastes are more likely to extend themselves and
thereby increase their capacity for law study.
In general, undergraduate college students are best advised not
to prepare particularly and narrowly for law school studies but to
prepare for life as a lawyer by obtaining the best available general
education-a course of study that develops a capacity for understanding, for independent thought, and for effective self-expression.
Admission Policies
Each year Northwestern University School of Law receives applications from men and women from every state in the United States
and from abroad. In recent years, there have been 15 or more applicants for each of the 200 places in the entering class.
The admission policies of the School of Law are based on consideration of the whole person. The Admission Committee seeks to
individualize the admission process and weighs a wide variety of
factors from which individual decisions can be made. Among these
factors are demonstrated scholarship, intellectual capacity, and qualities of character requisite to the legal profession.
Since its early years the School of Law has followed this policy of
selective admission to preserve its character as a cohesive academic
community of moderate size and to assure continued educational
standards of the highest order. Consequently, the School is unable
to accept many applicants who are capable of successfully completing
legal studies and qualifying for the practice of law.
It is the policy of Northwestern University not to discriminate
against any individual on the basis of race, color, religion, national
origin, sex, age, or handicap in matters of admission, employment,
housing, or services or in the educational programs or activities it
operates, in accordance with civil rights legislation. Any alleged violations of this policy or questions regarding the law with respect
to nondiscrimination should be directed to Office of the Provost,
Rebecca Crown Center, Evanston, Illinois 60208, phone 312/4915117; Office of the Equal Opportunity Officer and Handicapped
Services Coordinator, 720 University Place, Evanston, Illinois 60208,
phone 312/491-7458.
90
�Individuals who have been convicted of a crime other than minor
traffic violations may wish to consult the bar admission authorities
in the state in which they intend to practice law. Prospective members
of the bar must be found to possess high standards of character and
moral fitness; persons with criminal convictions may face difficulties
in this regard. Information about the requirements for admission to
the bar of the various states may be obtained by writing the American
Bar Association, 750 North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois
60611.
Application
A completed application for admission to the School of Law consists
of the following:
( 1) Application for Admission available from the Office of Admission
of the School of Law;
(2) Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) Law School Application Matching Form;
(3) LSDAS Law School Report from Law School Admission Services,
which includes Law School Admission Test (LSAT) results;
(4) Two letters of recommendation, at least one of which is from a
person who is qualified to assess the candidate's scholarly abilities;
(5) A nonrefundable fee of $35 payable by check or money order to
Northwestern University School of Law.
The various parts of the application will be forwarded to the School
of Law from several sources. The Office of Admission has a system
o(postcard notification designed to keep the applicant informed on
the progress of the application and the receipt of documents, but it
is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all supporting
materials to the application reach the Office of Admission. Only
completed applications are reviewed by the Admission Committee.
Supporting materials may be sent to the Office of Admission before
the application form itself. Any supplementary materials submitted
with the application must have the applicant's name clearly noted
on each page. In several places in the application materials, the
applicant's Social Security number is requested to assist in the accurate assembly of each file. It is not mandatory to provide that
number.
Law School Data Assembly Service
Northwestern uses Law School Admission Services and its Law
School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) in Newtown, Pennsylvania.
The service provides the School of Law with an LSDAS Law School
Report, which is a summary of an applicant's academic work, copies
of the college transcript, and the results of the Law School Admission
Test (LSAT).
Applicants should write to Law School Admission Services, Box
2000, Newtown, Pennsylvania 18940-0998, and request a copy of
91
�the LSAT/LSDAS Information Book. The book contains preparation
material for the Law School Admission Test, a sample test, test dates
and locations, registration materials, and Law School Application
Matching Forms. To preserve an applicant's rights to privacy, Law
School Admission Services does not release an LSDAS Law School
Report to any school that does not furnish it with the Law School
Application Matching Form, supplied to the school by the applicant.
Applicants should enclose the form with their application to Northwestern to avoid a delay in processing.
Applicants are encouraged to register with LSDAS in early fall,
and should ask their college registrars to mail transcripts to LSDAS
as soon as transcripts become available. Once the request has been
made to the registrar for the mailing of these transcripts, it is up to
applicants to ensure that the mailing takes place. Although LSDAS
attempts to inform applicants of the receipt of transcripts, the responsibility remains with the applicants.
Law School Admission Test
All applicants are required to take the Law School Admission Test
(LSAT). Testing dates are in June, October, December, and February. Details about the test and registration procedures are contained in the LSAT /LSD AS Information Book.
The LSAT need be taken only once. The School of Law wil 1 accept
scores up to four years after the test date. Applicants may take the
test more than once, but repetition is not advised in the absence of
some disruptive factor that has interfered with performance on the
first administration. If an applicant takes the LSAT more than once,
the Admission Committee will consider all scores, the circumstances
surrounding each test experience, and the practical benefit to later
scores resulting from prior exposure to the test.
Northwestern subscribes to the philosophy of the Law School
Admission Council and its statement on the use of commercial publications and cram courses claimed to improve the applicant's result
on the LSAT. Such publications and courses are not approved by
the council. They may assist applicants in becoming familiar with
the types of questions asked and with the instructions, but applicants
should realize that this same information is included in the LSAT /
LSDAS Information Book.
Letters of Recommendation
The Admission Committee uses letters of recommendation to obtain
an appraisal of the applicant's character, maturity, motivation, and
qualities of intellect. These letters are of particular value when they
come from a former or present instructor. Applicants who have been
away from their undergraduate institutions for some time may substitute recommendations from employers if obtaining a faculty recommendation is not feasible.
92
�Members of the class of 1990 sign up for library tours
and computer classes as part of their orientation
activities in August.
Applicants often believe that their prospects for admission are
greater if letters of recommendation are solicited from judges, lawyers, or well-known public figures. Experience has shown that many
of these recommenders do not know the applicant well, therefore
their recommendations are of little value. For a letter of recommendation to be useful to the applicant it should be written by an
individual who is in a position to form a sound judgment about the
applicant's qualification for the study of law.
The application for admission brochure available from the School
of Law Office of Admission contains a form that outlines the factors
a recommender should consider. Applicants should complete the
introductory part of each of the two recommendation forms as indicated and check the date by which they wish the writers of the
recommendations to return the forms to the Office of Admission.
Applicants for financial aid should check the February 15 date; others
may check the March 1 date. We encourage applicants to supply
both the addressed envelope and the recommendation form to the
writer of the recommendation. If applicants choose to submit more
than two letters, they should photocopy the form for each additional
recommender and attach an envelope to each form addressed to
Office of Admission, Northwestern University School of Law, 357
East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611-3069. In the lower
left-hand corner of the envelope type the word "Recommendation."
93
�Application Filing Period
Applications are considered only for the current year and for fulltime fall registration. There is no evening program or mid-year entry.
Applications are accepted at the School of Law beginning October
1. An applicant requesting financial assistance from the School must
have the Application for Admission and the Graduate and Professional School Financial Aid Service (GAPSFAS) form completed and
in the Office of Admission by February 15. An applicant not applying
for financial assistance must have the Application for Admission
completed by March 1. Any application submitted after March 1 or
any application that is lacking supporting documents on that date
may, at the discretion of the Admission Committee, be excluded
from consideration.
To be sure that the application is completed by the indicated dates,
the Law School Admission Test should be taken no later than December. Many students wait until after receiving the results of their
LSAT before applying to a law school. Unless the test is taken in
October or earlier, however, waiting for the test results can delay
the completion of your application and the subsequent review. We
urge individuals to complete the application process as soon as possible. Early application often yields an early decision.
Dates to Remember
October 1: Application filing period begins.
February 15: Application for Admission and the Graduate and
Professional School Financial Aid Service (GAPSFAS) form must be
completed and in the Office of Admission for applicants requesting
financial aid.
March 1: Application for Admission must be completed and in the
Office of Admission for those applicants not requesting financial aid.
Interviews
The Office of Admission does not conduct evaluative interviews of
an applicant unless specifically requested by the Admission Committee. However, the School does encourage the applicant to visit
and to make an appointment with the Office of Admission for the
purpose of gathering additional information about the School of Law
and the admission process. If contacted beforehand, the staff can
arrange for an applicant to be given a tour of the School.
Representatives of the School of Law visit many colleges and universities. These visits are arranged either through a college's office
of career counseling or through the prelaw adviser's office. Applicants should check with these offices at their colleges or universities
to learn when a representative of Northwestern will be on campus.
94
�Transfer Students
A student in good standing at an approved law school who has
completed at least one year of study may apply for admission to the
School of Law with advanced standing. The amount of transfer credit
recognized will be determined by the facts of each case. In no event
will transfer credit be given for law school work done in schools that
are not members of the Association of American Law Schools or for
courses in which the student received a grade below C or its equivalent. Credit for evening school classes is recognized only in exceptional cases, on the recommendation of the Admission Committee
and the approval of the faculty. No applicant previously enrolled in
another law school will be admitted if not eligible for readmission
to that school.
An applicant for advanced standing follows the same basic procedure as the application for initial entry. In addition, the advancedstanding applicant must supply the Office of Admission with a letter
from the law school currently attended attesting to his or her good
standing, a complete transcript of the first-year's work, including
class rank, and a letter of recommendation from a law professor who
has taught the student in class.
Applications for admission with advanced standing should be submitted by June 1 and completed by August 1. Since it is usually midto-late summer before Northwestern receives first-year transcripts
from the law schools, decisions are not made until approximately
August 15.
With the low attrition rate in the first-year class, the number of
places available for advanced-standing students is small. An excellent
first-year law school performance is essential for favorable consideration.
Extended Study Program
The School of Law offers the Extended Study Program that allows
participants to take four years to complete the three-year course of
legal study for the JD degree. The program is open to students of
exceptional ability who face special family obligations such as the
care of preschool children. No more than five students are admitted
to the program in each entering class. Students wishing to apply for
the Extended Study Program should contact the Office of Admission
after they have been accepted by the School.
95
�Tuition and Financial Aid
The cost of a year of law study varies with the needs and circumstances of the student. As a base from which individual estimates
may be drawn, the sum of$20,715 approximates the minimum total
expense for the 1987-88 academic year for the average unmarried
student residing in University housing. Of this total, $12,681 is required for tuition. The remainder represents the typical expenditure
for room, board, books, and personal needs .
The student's total investment in legal education, although large
in absolute terms, is insubstantial in comparison with its total returns
in the decades of professional life. Short-term economies often prove
wasteful in the long run. In the interests of its students, the School
of Law has made every effort to hold down the costs, but in the
same interests, it has refused to sacrifice any of the elements of a
legal education of the highest quality. The cost of each student's
education is only partly covered by tuition payments. A substantial
portion is paid from income from endowments and from annual gifts
of alumni and friends of Northwestern.
Candidates for the degree of Juris Doctor are classified as undergraduate students. Candidates for the degree of Master of Laws
(LLM) or the degree of Doctor of Juridicial Science (SJD) and students who have received their Bachelor of Laws or Juris Doctor
degrees or their equivalents and are in their first semester of fulltime graduate work pending their acceptance as candidates for a
graduate degree are classified as graduate students. All other students are unclassified students.
Candidates for the SJD and LLM degrees who have done full-time
graduate work at Northwestern University for two semesters are
charged the Resident-in-Research fee unless they take courses or
seminars. They are then charged at the rate of $635 per credit hour.
Unclassified students in residence who are neither taking courses or
seminars for credit nor auditing courses or seminars are charged the
Resident-in-Research fee.
Deposit
A deposit of $250 is required of all applicants accepted for admission
into the JD program, including those granted financial assistance.
This nonrefundable deposit is applied toward tuition and fees.

Fees
In addition to tuition, the following nonrefundable fees are charged:
Application fee
$35
$100
Late payment penalty fee
Payment of Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees are billed and paid by semester rather than for the
full academic year. Payments are due at the beginning of the term
on th~ date specified in the statement sent to each student after
registration. The Cashier's Office, located on the first floor of Abbott
Hall, receives these payments. Students with unpaid tuition bills and
fees will not be allowed to register until such bills and fees are paid.
The regulations of the University require that a student's account
be paid in full by the due date specified on the bill. The Student
Finance Office will impose a late payment penalty fee ($ 100) if any
part of the bill is not paid when due. The Division of Student Finance,
on the first floor of Abbott Hall, issues the statements and makes
all adjustments.
Withdrawal and Refunds
Official withdrawal forms are available from the registrar of the
School of Law. Students who withdraw before the end of one-fourth
of the term are liable for one-fourth of the tuition for the term.
Students who withdraw after the first one-fourth of the term and
before the middle of the term are held for one-half of the tuition
for the term. Students who withdraw after the middle of the term
are held for full tuition for the term. Regardless of the time of
withdrawal, students are liable for all fees. In the case of exclusion
for nonpayment of tuition, the same charges are made in accordance
with the above schedule. In all cases, either the date on which the
student withdrew from classes and filed a written withdrawal notice
with the registrar of the School of Law or the date of formal exclusion
is used in figuring any adjustment on tuition.
Reduced Tuition
Information about reduced tuition for full-time faculty and staff, their
spouses, and their dependent sons and daughters and for employees
97
�of Northwestern-affiliated institutions may be obtained at the Student
Finance Office, Abbott Hall. Applications must be filed with that
office before the student's first registration each school year.
Student Deposit Account
The University maintains a student deposit account at the Cashier's
Office, Abbott Hall, as an accommodation to students. There is no
charge for this service, and no interest is paid on deposits. Personal
bank checks in amounts not exceeding $50 may be cashed at the
Cashier's Office by students who present their University ID cards.
Financial Aid
The School of Law has established a comprehensive financial assistance program designed to enable any accepted student to attend
the School. The School of Law provides financial assistance based
on an analysis of each student's demonstrated need . The typical aid
package combines scholarship and loan funds . Even in the face of
reduced federal support of student loan programs, a combination
of remaining federal loans and alternative institutional loans should
provide an adequate supply of loan resources to meet a student's
demonstrated need.
Graduate and Professional School Financial Aid
Service
The School of Law is a participant in the Graduate and Professional
School Financial Aid Service (GAPSF AS). Each applicant for financial
aid is required to submit in full all information requested on the
GAPSFAS form, including information from the applicant's parents
and spouse or spouse-to-be. An application will not be considered
for financial aid unless complete in all sections. GAPSF AS forms are
available in the fall of the year preceding the applicant's proposed
entry into law school. They can be obtained on most college campuses or directly from Graduate and Professional School Financial
Aid Service, Box 2614, Princeton, New Jersey 08640-6660.
To meet the February 15 deadline for the receipt of the GAPSFAS
form at Northwestern, applicants are advised to send the form to
Educational Testing Service durii;ig the first week of January. If total
financial information is lacking when the form is completed, the
applicant should use the best estimate of this data. Accepted applicants whose GAPSF AS forms reach the Office of Admission after
February 15 or whose Applications for Admission are completed
after that date may be considered for loans but probably will not be
considered for scholarship funds .
Continuing Financial Aid
Although financial assistance is awarded for one year at a time, the
School of Law is committed to providing needed financial aid for
98
�the full three years of study. Continuing students are requested to
complete a new GAPSF AS form in the spring of each year. Changes
in circumstances are noted and financial assistance adjusted accordingly. Students who do not receive financial aid in the first year of
law study are not barred from seeking financial assistance in their
second or third year. Similarly, students who receive financial assistance in their first year may be denied financial assistance in their
second or third year because of changes in their financial resources.
Higher Education Assistance Foundation Loan
Program
Northwestern University is a lender under the Higher Education
Assistance Foundation Loan (HEAF) program, part of the federal
Guaranteed Student Loan (CSL) program. As a result, students can
obtain their loans directly from the School rather than from an
outside resource . A law student may be eligible to borrow up to
$7,500 annually with a maximum level in indebtedness to $54,700,
inclusive of any amount borrowed as an undergraduate. The interest
rate is 7, 8, or 9 percent, depending on the date when the student
enters the program. The federal government pays the interest on
these loans during a student's enrollment and for six months after
graduation or the termination of education. Repayment plans begin
six months after graduation or termination and may extend over a
period of up to ten years. Conditions of the loan are subject to
changes in federal law and regulations.
Additional information may be obtained through the Office of
Admission and Financial Aid.
Parent/Student Loan Program
In cooperation with the Illinois Higher Education Loan Authority,
Northwestern in 1983 inaugurated its Parent/Student Loan Program.
Students at the School of Law may borrow from $2,000 to the full
amount of tuition and fees each year, based on established need.
The loan program resembles commercial loan programs in that
credit-worthiness must be established and a credit-worthy comaker
is required. These are variable rate loans, with the interest rate
adjusted on an annual basis. Although the interest rate will depend
upon market conditions, it is anticipated that the loans will be offered
at rates well below prevailing commercial rates and should not exceed
12 percent. Since 1983, the interest rate has ranged between 8 and
8¼ percent. There is no origination fee . An application fee of $75
is required for processing.
Repayment of interest will begin 45 days from the date of disbursement. Principal payments may be deferred during the period
of enrollment. The repayment period will be up to ten years, depending upon the total amount borrowed. There is no penalty for
99
�prepayment of the loan. Detailed information on the loan program
and application materials are available from the Office of Admission
and Financial Aid.
Perkins Loans
Perkins Loans (formerly National Direct Student Loans) are longterm loans provided from a revolving fund capitalized jointly by the
federal government and the University. Perkins Loans carry a low
interest rate (presently 5 percent) and are awarded to students who
have the greatest financial need as determined by federal guidelines.
A student may borrow a maximum aggregate amount of$18,000 for
both undergraduate and graduate study. Loan repayment and interest charges begin six months (nine months for new borrowers)
after a student withdraws or graduates from the School of Law.
Short-Term Loan Program
Interest-free 60-day loans are available to any registered law student
under the University's Short Term Student Loan Program. Students,
after completing a brief application, may receive immediate cash or
check to a maximum of $300. A student who has obtained one loan
may not apply for a subsequent loan until the earlier loan has been
repaid in full. Repayment of all loans made during an academic year
must be made in full by the final day of class. Further information
and loan applications may be obtained from the University's Office
of Financial Aid, room 209, Lake Shore Center.
W. Willard Wirtz Loan Fund
In 1987, Mark C. Curran '50 established an emergency loan fund in
honor of W. Willard Wirtz. Zero-interest loans are provided to qualifying students who encounter unforeseen financial difficulties during
periods of the calendar year not covered by other University loan
funds. The fund also is available to graduates who may experience
financial difficulties during the time between graduation and the
start of employment.
Loan Repayment Assistance Program
Concerned that substantial borrowing may narrow a student's choice
of career options, the School of Law has established the Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP). Graduates who choose legal
employment in a nonprofit organization are eligible to apply for
assistance in meeting annual educational loan payments. A graduate
qualifying for the program will receive a zero-interest loan from the
School in an amount calculated by subtracting 10 percent of the
graduate's annual gross income from the graduate's annual educational loan repayment obligation. If a graduate remains employed
in the public interest area for more than three years, the School will
100
�forgive (cancel) a portion of the loans made by the School. Terms
and eligibility information can be obtained from the Office of Admission and Financial Aid.
School Loan Funds
Among the sources of School of Law loan funds are the Charles
Shapiro and Morris Robert Shapiro Loan Fund, the Raoul Berger
Law Loan Fund, the Mrs. J.N. Raymond Law School Fund, the Edward P. Summbers Law Loan Fund, and the Law School Foundation
Loan Funds. In 1966, the partners of Barnet Hodes, class of 1921,
in the firm of Arvey, Hodes and Mantynband made a gift of $6,500
in honor of Mr. Hodes's 65th birthday, to be used for loans to
deserving students in need of financial assistance.
Supplemental Loans for Students
The Supplemental Loans for Students (SLS) program (formerly
PLUS/ALAS program) is a federally guaranteed program that is not
based on demonstration of need; however, the Financial Aid Office
uses the SLS program in loan packaging for students on financial
aid. There is no income restriction, but the borrower must pass a
standard credit check. Students may borrow up to $4,000 per academic year, provided that the loan when added to other resources
does not exceed the standard student budget. The cumulative total
a student may borrow is $20,000. An SLS loan has a variable interest
rate determined by using the average rate of the 91-day Treasury
Bill for the preceding year plus 3.75 percent. The rate will vary
annually but cannot exceed 12 percent. Interest begins to accrue the
day the promissory note is signed. Repayment of interest and principal starts 30 days after graduation or withdrawal.
Law Access Loan
The Law Access Loan (LAL) is a privately sponsored loan program
available through the Law School Admission Council. Students may
be eligible to borrow up to $10,000 per year. The interest rate on
this loan is variable, based on the 91-day Treasury Bill rate plus 3.5
percent. Following graduation, borrowers may choose to continue
the variable interest rate or change to a fixed rate. Applications are
available from the School of Law Office of Admission and Financial
Aid.
Scholarships
The School of Law administers an extensive program of scholarship
assistance made available through endowed funds, gifts from alumni
and friends, and an appropriation of general funds of the University.
To be considered for scholarship aid, students need only file the
GAPSFAS application and have that report issued to the Office of
Admission by the February 15 deadline.
101
�Each year entering students showing exceptional academic promise and ability are awarded full-tuition grants from the John Henry
Wigmore and Clarion DeWitt Hardy scholarship funds described
below. While financial aid is a factor in the award of these full-tuition
scholarships, selection is based on merit and not restricted to students who demonstrate financial need. No formal application need
be submitted for these scholarship awards since the selection of
recipients rests with the Admission Committee.
Endowed scholarships and awards available to law students at
Northwestern include the following:

�Graduate Study
The graduate program of the School of Law has several objectives:
to offer active practitioners and recent law graduates who have demonstrated superior proficiency in the study of law an opportunity to
broaden their legal knowledge and engage in research; to provide
law teachers and prospective law teachers with facilities for advanced
study, research, and writing under faculty guidance; and to offer
outstanding graduates of foreign law schools an opportunity to expand their knowledge of American legal processes and to engage in
comparative legal research.
The admission of students who have been awarded a first degree
in law to candidacy for the degree of Master of Laws or Doctor of
Juridical Science is at the discretion of the Committee on Graduate
Studies.
Application forms and additional information may be secured by
writing to the Committee on Graduate Studies, Northwestern University School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois
60611-3069.
The School of Law requires that an applicant whose native language is not English provide satisfactory evidence of proficiency in

for admission. Information about TOEFL is available from Test of
English as a Foreign Language, Box 899, Princeton, New Jersey

Degrees
Two graduate degrees are granted: the degree of Master of Laws
(LLM) and the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD).
Master of Laws. The LLM degree is conferred upon students who
have obtained a first degree in law from Northwestern University or
another institution having equivalent requirements; in unusual cases,
this requirement may be waived by a vote of the faculty. Students
must fulfill the following requirements:
(I) The completion of one academic year of residence in this School,
during which time credit must be obtained for not less than 10 semester hours in courses or seminars not previously counted toward
the first degree in law. Students who have not previously taken, for
their first degree in law, a course or seminar in the general field of
jurisprudence must include such work in their program. Each grad-
111
�uate student's course program is individually planned in relation to
the student's choice of a thesis topic. To the extent necessary to
establish a background for the research, the Committee on Graduate
Study may at its discretion require a graduate student to take course
and seminar work in addition to the minimum prescribed above.
During their year of residence, graduate students are required to
maintain a superior scholarship record. A grade point average of B
in classroom work is required for graduation.
(2) The completion of a thorough study of some approved legal topic
and the presentation of a paper embodying its results. The candidate's thesis must be suitable for publication. The thesis is normally
completed during the academic year in residence; it must be completed within two years from the commencement of the academic
year of residence.
(3) The passing of an oral examination to be prescribed by the faculty.
Doctor ofjuridical Science. The SJD degree is conferred upon students
who have obtained the degree of Juris Doctor from Northwestern
University or another university or college having equivalent requirements for that degree or who have obtained the degree of
Bachelor of Laws from another university or college whose requirements for that degree are equivalent to those prescribed by this
School for the degree of Juris Doctor and who have fulfilled the
following requirements:
(l) The completion of one academic year of residence in this School.
The time required for the completion of a candidate's work, however,
normally runs beyond the period of residence required.
(2) The completion of a study to be approved by the faculty or its
designated committee. This study shall involve original research and
must be completed in such manner, both as to subject matter and
literary form, as to be, in the opinion of the faculty , a significant and
scholarly contribution to legal science. The study must be completed
within five years after the commencement of the candidate's academic
year of residence.
(3) The completion of other such work, if any, as may be directed
by the dean in the particular case.
(4) The passing of an oral examination to be prescribed by the faculty.
Faculty policy restricts this degree to candidates who have had
substantial experience either in practicing or teaching law and who,
through published writings, have given evidence of their capacity for
advanced graduate work.

Full information concerning tuition, fees, and fellowships for graduate study appears on preceding pages.

112
�tailed and up~to-date cost information is available with the application for the graduate program.

and worthy foreign and American students who have indicated special interest in the areas of international or comparative law. Professor MacChesney, a nationally recognized expert in the field of
international law, was instrumental in bringing many foreign students
to the School. He served as president of the American Society of
International Law, chairman of the ABA Section of International
Law, and director of the School's Graduate Studies Program.
Anna Louise Raymond Scholarship Fund. The income from a fund given

renewable. Fellowships do not provide travel expenses. Students
must make individual travel arrangements. Successful fellowship applicants should bring sufficient funds for personal expenses from
the time of arrival until September I.
113
�Placement
To assist the graduate in finding a position that promises satisfaction
both in economic terms and in self-realization and contribution, the
School maintains a career counseling and placement office. Beyond
its service to current graduates, the Placement Office also seeks to
place students nationwide with legal employers, which include law
firms, corporations, government agencies, and public interest agencies. The office also assists in the placement of alumni by compiling
a list of positions available throughout the country. This list is revised
each month and mailed to alumni who request it.
The Placement Office gathers information about professional opportunities and openings, coordinates on-campus interviews, maintains files on new openings, and posts information on a regular basis
to keep students current on professional opportunities.
While there are many who practice law, the demand for welltrained, able lawyers has not diminished. The rising level of starting
salaries gives evidence of the professional need. Each year, an increasingly large number of law firms from major cities throughout
the United States send members of the firm to the School to interview
students. Government agencies, corporations, and banks also send
representatives to the School to conduct on-campus interviews.
First-year students do not participate in the fall on-campus interview process because most employers do not recruit first-year students until later in the year. However, first-year students are
encouraged to attend career programs in the fall as an aid to their
career decision-making process. A special meeting for first-year students is held in November to explain the job-search and resumepreparation process so that interested individuals may take advantage
of the December-January semester break to begin a search for summer employment.
Graduating students must make their own choice from the large
array of professional opportunities open to them. It is the function
of the School's Placement Office to assist students in exploring the
possibilities and arranging the necessary contacts.
A majority of the School's alumni are engaged in the private practice of law. Some have chosen to remain in Chicago, while others
have settled in cities and towns throughout the United States. In
large firms and in individual practice, Northwestern graduates rank
as leaders of the bar in every state in the nation and in many foreign
countries . In service to their profession and their clients, they have
occupied presidencies of the American, state, and local bar associations .
114
�Furthering a strong tradition of public service, a number of graduates accept positions in national, state, or local government. Working with prosecuting and investigating agencies, on government
boards and commissions, and on the staffs of government departments, they are often vested with major responsibilities and acquire
wide experience earl y in their profess ional lives. After a period of
government service, many enter priva te practice, where their experience in government is of great value. Others make public service
a career and a ttain high public office, elective o r appointive .
The roster of School alumni includes past and present governors
and United States senators, cabinet members, United Nations representatives, diplomats, mayors, attorneys general, prosecutors, legislators , and government advisers .
In the judiciary, Northwestern graduates have served with distinction on the benches of the highest courts, both federal and state.
For interested students, there are opportunities for clerkships with
justices and judges of the federal and state courts .
Northwestern graduates have joined the faculties of nearly all the
major law schools in the United States, and many have served as
deans, university presidents, and leaders in other branches of education. The Faculty Committee on Placement in Teaching counsels
students and alumni who are interes ted in careers in legal education .
An expanding field of opportunity beyond the limits of traditional
practice is offered the School of Law graduate interested in business ,
industry, and finance . In increasing recognition of the values of legal
training, corporations, banks , and companies in a wide range of
Placement Office activities include a variety of receptions
at which students meet representatives f rom law firms,
corporations, and government and public interest agencies.
115
�enterprise seek School of Law graduates both for their legal staffs
and for executive positions. Attractive starting salaries and opportunities for advancement in management have combined to draw a
substantial number of graduates of the School. Alumni have risen
to principal executive posts in many of the nation's largest corporations in fields such as transportation, oil, retailing, insurance, finance, public utilities, and manufacturing.
Recent federal regulations require law schools that participate in
federal loan programs to make a good-faith effort to present prospective students with a complete and accurate statement about the
School, including statistics on placement. The School of Law, in
presenting these statistics, does not do so with the intent of influencing applicants' choice of schools, nor can the School make guarantees about employment or starting salaries.
In reviewing this information, individuals should keep in mind that
employment opportunities for graduating seniors vary from year to
year, depending to a large extent on the job market and the economy,
and that not all students use the services of the Placement Office or
file a report with the office regarding their employment.
During the 1986-87 academic year, approximately 550 employers
from all parts of the country registered to conduct interviews at the
School of Law. The Placement Office scheduled more than 10,000
interviews at the School of Law. In addition, many other employers
wrote the School asking students to submit resumes. By July 1, of
the 195 students from the class of 1987 reporting to the Placement
Office, 176 reported that they had accepted positions. Statistics were
as follows: private practice, 83 percent; corporations/business concerns, 3 percent; government/public interest, 5 percent; judicial
clerkships, 9 percent. The estimated median salary was $50,000.
These statistics are informational only and should not be construed
as occurring annually.

�Continuing Legal
Education
Continuing Legal Education has been a part of the School of Law
program since 1936 when Professor Fred E. Inbau designed the
Short Course for Prosecuting Attorneys. In 1957 Professor Inbau
created the Short Course for Defense Lawyers in Criminal Cases.
Both courses are presented annually, sponsored by the School of
Law. Professor Inbau served as course director until his retirement
in 1978, and during his tenure, the Short Courses established national reputations for unique format and high quality. The Prosecutor's Course attracts attorneys from nearly every state and a
number of foreign countries.
Each program offers instruction in the trial and preparation of
criminal cases, providing a forum for exchange of information, discussion of significant developments in criminal law and procedure,
and consideration of new methods of scientific investigation and
proof. The faculty for both short courses includes prosecutors, public
defenders, private practioners,judges, law teachers, military lawyers,
and renowned scientific experts from across the country.
In 1962 the School ofLaw, in cooperation with the Illinois Institute
for Continuing Legal Education, established the Annual Corporate
Counsel Institute, which is cosponsored by the Committee on Corporate Law Departments of the American Bar Association's Section
on Corporation, Banking, and Business Law; the Committee on Corporate Law Departments of the Chicago Bar Association; and the
Section on Corporate Law Departments of the Illinois State Bar
Association. This two-day program reviews problems of current importance to lawyers in corporate law departments and in private
corporate practice. The Corporate Counsel Institute is one of the
nation's most respected programs in corporate law. Institute lecturers are distinguished private practitioners, lawyers within corporate
law departments, government officials, law professors, and other
experts in the fields of antitrust, labor relations, securities regulation,
taxation, and other areas of corporate practice.
The Ray Garrett Jr. Corporate and Securities Law Institute has
been made possible through the establishment of the Ray Garrett
Jr. Memorial Fund at the School in memory of Ray Garrett Jr., who
was a teacher at the School of Law, chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and a member of the Chicago law firm of
Gardner, Carton & Douglas. The Corporate and Securities Law In-
120
�stitute, first held in 1981, offers an in-depth examination of special
areas of corporate and securities law, reflecting the scholarly interest
that marked Ray Garrett's career.
Twice a year, Northwestern holds the National Institute for Trial
Advocacy (NITA) Midwest Regional, a program designed to train
lawyers in the skills of effective trial advocacy. Participants are divided
into teams of25 members. They receive direction and guidance from
outstanding trial lawyers who volunteer their time to training new
lawyers. The program is composed of two seven-day sessions, during
which participants conduct a civil and criminal trial, alternately serving as witnesses and counsel.
NITA, an outgrowth of the American Bar Association's Section
on Judicial Administration, is funded by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, the Practicing Law Institute, and other organizations. Since 1984, NITA has held its Annual Program on
Negotiation and Counseling at Northwestern.
The first annual Corporate Dispute Resolution Institute was held
in 1982. This two-day institute provides inside corporate counsel
and private lawyers with an introduction to alternative means of
resolving corporate and commercial disputes. The central goal of
the institute is to help business attorneys understand when and how
to achieve more cost effective dispute resolution for clients. Plenary
lectures and panel discussions are combined with a series of workshops for smaller groups.
In 1986, through the generous support of Sears, Roebuck and
Co., the School of Law presented the Employment Law Institute to
provide an opportunity for attorneys and other professionals concerned with employment law to discuss issues of current interest.
Continuing Legal Education programs at the School of
Law attract lawyers from across the country.
121
�Corporate Counsel Center
In 1984, the School of Law established the Corporate Counsel Center
to assist corporate counsel in addressing the complex questions that
confront the business community today. Its mission is twofold: to
examine contemporary issues in corporate law and to provide continuing professional education to corporate counsel and other corporate lawyers.
The Corporate Counsel Center sponsors all corporate-related programs at the School of Law. These include the Ray Garrett Jr. Corporate and Securities Law Institute, the Corporate Dispute
Resolution Institute, the Corporate Counsel Institute, the Health
Law Counsel Institute, and the Transfer of Technology Conference
(held in 1985).
Center continuing professional education programs have focused
on general developments of interest to corporate counsel, healthcare law, alternative dispute resolution and cost-effective litigation
management, technology licensing laws in developing countries, and
corporate and securities law. Experts at these programs delved into
David S. Ruder, a member of the faculty since 1961 and
dean from 1977 to 1985, was the first president of the
Corporate Counsel Center. In 1987, he was named
chairman of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.
122
�such topics as tender offers and proxy contests, hazardous materials
management, executive compensation, labor and employment law,
competitive pricing, venture capital financing, leveraged buy outs by
management, competition in the health-care industry, negotiation
strategies, and settlement of mass tort claims. The center offers
corporate attorneys a unique opportunity to interact with others who
have common concerns and to benefit from the latest academic
thought on issues central to the corporate world.
A Corporate Counsel Center Advisory Board, composed of corporate counsel and School of Law faculty, assists in developing the
focus and direction of center projects. The center has approved
proposals for research on the effects of regulation and deregulation,
attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine in the corporate context, the employment-at-will doctrine, the per se rule in
horizontal pricings, international antitrust issues, and a commentary
on the American Law Institute's Corporate Governance Project.
Center activities are supported by corporate grants.

��"Where there is arbitrary power, there is no
occasion to study the law; when the law begins
to reign, its teachers and practicers come forth."
-David Dudley Field, at the
dedication of the Law School,
September 21, 1859.
LAW STUDY AT NORTHWESTERN
The first law school in its state and region
and one of the oldest in the nation,
Northwestern's School of Law enjoys a rich
heritage. Since its founding in 1859, it has been
dedicated to the education of men and women
for all branches of endeavor in the law under
the highest standards of academic and professional excellence. This dedication marks
the character of the Law School today.
Long identified with progressive movements
in legal education, the Law School has always
sought to prepare students for the broad
challenge of the future. To this end, the
program of instruction is designed to foster an
understanding of the principles that guide
growth and change in the law.
Early in its history the Law School adopted
a policy of limited enrollment to promote
educational quality. Today Northwestern
remains a law school of medium size, small in
comparison with others of national standing,
with approximately 550 students seeking their
first degree in law. The substantial size of the
faculty gives the School one of the two or three
lowest student-faculty ratios found among the
leading law schools. This makes a close
working relationship between student and
teacher possible, thereby fostering professional
training of the highest order and providing an
opportunity for the development of each
student's unique capabilities.
THE SCHOOL
Unlike the physical sciences, legal learning
requires no elaborate apparatus. For the
serious student, however, a stimulating and
congenial environment contributes to the
educational process. Good professional
training requires more than a comprehensive
library and classrooms designed for effective
teaching. There must be places for reflection
and concentration and arrangements conducive
to informal interchange between student and
student and between student and teacher. The
atmosphere should imbue the student of law
with an appreciation for the finest traditions
of the bar and for the professional heritage
the student will share.
LOCATION OF THE CAMPUSES
The Law School is situated on the shore of
Lake Michigan near the business center of
Chicago. Not far to the south, along the lakefront, lie Grant Park, a series of yacht basins,
museums of art, science, and natural history,
a planetarium, and an aquarium. Nearby are
Orchestra Hall, home of the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra, and the Chicago Public
Library. To the north extends the Gold
Coast, an area of residential apartments
separated from the lake by a continuous series
of parks, beaches, golf courses, and boating
facilities. Near the campus, to the west, is one
of the city's centers of art and entertainment.
A half-mile to the southwest is the Loop, the
central business and shopping area of Chicago
and the legal and financial center of the region.
Here, convenient for student visits, are located
the offices of federal, state, and municipal
governments, including trial and appellate
courts of both the state and federal
governments, ranging from the local small
claims courts to the United States Court of
Appeals.
The Law School constitutes part of the
self-contained professional campus of
Northwestern University, where several other
buildings house the Medical School and the
Dental School. Also on the campus are Thorne
Hall , containing an 800-seat auditorium and
housing the Northwestern Legal Assistance
Clinic ; Abbott Hall, the 18-story student
residence for the men and women enrolled in
the professional schools; and hospitals which
9
�are members of the McGaw Medical Center
of Northwestern University.
Living and studying on a self-sufficient
graduate campus, the law student remains free
from the distractions of undergraduate life.
The original campus of the University, where
the main body of about 6,500 full-time undergraduate students and 2,600 graduate students
is enrolled, is 12 miles north in suburban
Evanston.
The Evanston campus, available and
accessible to Law School students for courses
and seminars, general library resources,
cultural activities, and athletic events, has
been the focus of the First Plan for the
Seventies, the initial phase of a long-range
program to maintain the University as a major
center of teaching, scholarship, and research.
The $12-million University Library, key
academic facility of the First Plan, opened in
1970. Other new facilities are the Norris
University Center, Lindheimer Astronomical
Research Center, 0. T. Hogan Biological
Sciences Building, Frances Searle Building (the
communicative disorders center), Nathaniel
Leverone Hall (the Graduate School of
Management's new headquarters on the
Evanston campus), School of Education
Building, Rebecca Crown Center (the
University's administration building), and
new student residences. The new PickStaiger Concert Hall, part of the developing
fine and performing arts complex, was
completed in 1975.
The University recently announced a new
$177-million, five-year fund drive- "Toward
the Eighties." The major thrust of the
campaign is aimed at raising $128 million for
current and future educational operations;
some $49 million is being sought for a
building program.
LAW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The Law School itself consists of a complex
of buildings arranged to form a quadrangle
occupying the block between Chicago Avenue
and Superior Street west of Lake Shore Drive.
The original buildings, Levy Mayer Hall and
the Elbert H. Gary Library, were completed in
1926. Robert R. McCormick Hall and the
Owen L. Coon Library were completed in
1960. The quadrangle completely encloses a
handsome garden which is frequently used for
open-air discussions and study.
In interior design and ornament, the
10
buildings of the School are rich in the lore of
the law. About 2,500 portraits, engravings,
etchings, and photographs, collected by the late
Dean John H. Wigmore in the United States,
England, and abroad, are hung about the
School to illustrate the people and events of
the law throughout history and throughout the
world.
CLASSROOMS
The Law School contains seven major
classrooms. These generous facilities make it
possible to schedule a number of classes at the
same time. Most classes, including all those in
the first year, are divided into sections. As a
consequence, the number of students attending
a class seldom exceeds 85 and is often
much smaller. Such classes, small by general
law school standards, encourage responsible
participation by each student in the probing,
analytical discussion that is the mark of legal
education at Northwestern. The design of
Lincoln Hall, the largest of the classrooms,
was suggested by that of the British House of
Commons.
In addition to the major classrooms, the
School has four seminar rooms scaled and
furnished to provide comfortable and congenial
surroundings for smaller study groups. The
seminars of the second and third years meet
here, numbering typically from 10 to 15
students seated informally around a table with
one or more faculty members for a detailed
analysis of problem areas lying at the frontiers
of legal development. In such study, the
student necessarily bears a large measure of
responsibility for giving direction and substance
to the discussion.
For instruction in trial and appellate
practice, the School has a fully-equipped,
modern courtroom. Complete with witness
stand, jury box, counsel tables, and seating for
spectators, it accommodates actual criminal
and civil trials conducted occasionally by
courts sitting in Illinois and is used for the
teaching of trial practice.
LIBRARY
The indispensable instruments of the
lawyer's calling are books, and a
comprehensive and well-arranged library is
essential to effective training for the
profession. The library with its associated
research facilities is the heart of the Law
School.
�The Northwestern Law School Library
consists of two buildings integrated physically
and administered as a unit, the Elbert H. Gary
Library and the Owen L. Coon Library. In
combination, the library occupies a full side of
the Law School quadrangle extending from
Chicago Avenue to Superior Street and
includes four floors of working area. The
Elbert H. Gary Library, part of the original
Law School buildings, is named for the donor
of the building who also established the Gary
Fund, which provided for the acquisition of
substantial parts of the original collection and
also provides in part for the current purchase
of books. The Owen L. Coon Library, built in
1960, is named in recognition of a substantial
gift from the Owen L. Coon Foundation.
With its collection of more than 325,000
volumes, Northwestern has one of the largest
law libraries in the Western Hemisphere. Even
more important than size, however, is the
utility of the collection. The main reading
room of the library occupies the highest floor
of the building and is divided by shelved
partitions into dozens of secluded but welllighted alcoves fitted with large working
tables and chairs to provide convenient
accommodations close by the books. The
arrangement is repeated on the lower floors,
with the addition of a number of individual
carrels for sustained and concentrated research.
Included on a lower level are glass-walled
typing areas with individual soundproof carrels
open to any student for typing a research paper
11
�or reorganizing his or her course notes.
The library is operated with an open-stack
policy to bring readers and books together
without unnecessary formalities . The student is
free to browse and to search at will through the
collection, and may call upon the expert fulltime staff of 21 if in need of guidance, aid,
or suggestions. The library is open daily
throughout the year and in the evenings as
well, whenever the School is in session. To
provide for the heavy demands of faculty
research, a separate working collection is
maintained in the Faculty Library.
The course of instruction has been designed
not only to provide basic instruction in the use
of legal materials but also to encourage full use
of the library's large resources and to afford
every student extensive opportunity for
independent scholarly research.
The Law School Library's Anglo-American
collection includes almost all the reported
decisions of the courts of the United States, its
separate states and territories, Great Britain
and the Commonwealth, together with their
statutes and session Jaws and subsidiary
publications- digests, encyclopedias, annotated
cases, textbooks, periodicals, bibliographiesnecessary to form a complete working
collection for every legal system in the English
language. A well-selected, comprehensive
collection of United States government
9ocuments is maintained for the teaching
program and for the use of the legal profession
in general. A complete collection of documents
is available at the University Library on the
Evanston campus, which is a designated
government depository library. This AngloAmerican collection is supplemented by a
selection of works in the fields of history,
economics, and government and includes a
special collection on law and the social
sciences. The library also receives every
current legal periodical of general interest
printed in the English language.
About one-third of the total collection
is made up of works in the fields of foreign
and international law. The comprehensive
materials in foreign law include the codes,
treatises, decisions, and journals of all major
European countries and Japan and good
working collections in Latin-American Jaw.
At an early date the library began to build a
complete collection in the Jaw of nations,
gomg beyond the domestic laws of the separate
countries to emphasize the rules of Jaw
controlling their relations with each other. This
12
large collection includes the documents of the
international organizations, the -international
courts, treaty series, and official diplomatic
documents, treatises, and monographs and
periodicals from alJ parts of the world. The
colJection permits original and useful work to
be carried on in the field of public and private
international Jaw.
Holdings in other specialized fields include a
comprehensive coJlection of treatises,
periodicals, and documents in criminal Jaw and
its administration, and a special coJlection of
materials in aeronautics, including aviation law,
commerce, and other works in the field,
exclusive of technical engineering publications.
In addition, the library includes outstanding
colJections of medieval law, jurisprudence, legal
history, comparative law, and valuable
resources in Roman law. EspeciaJly notable are
the Williams Collection of Legal Instruments
dating from A.O. 1300 to 1700, which comprises
more than 500 original manuscript
instruments executed in connection with landed
estates, and the George W. Shaw ColJection of
Early European Law, established in 1949 by
Joseph L. Shaw (LLB., 1903) .
The Law School Library is independent in
administration and organization, but its
comprehensive resources are supplemented in
specialized areas through inter-library Joans
and other cooperative arrangements with the
general University Library, departmental
libraries, and the major public, educational,
and legal coJlections in the region.
A special feature of the library is its
distinguished rare book coJlection, housed in
the handsome Hardy Scholars Treasure Room
adjoining the main reading room. These early
volumes, numbering some 2,500, have been
acquired through the years and represent a
variety of fields. Many are first editions of the
classics of the law, including a number of
manuscripts and incunabula (books printed
before 1500). A number are either unique or
the only copies in the Western Hemisphere.
The value of these books is not primarily
antiquarian, however. They have been
gathered and selected because they are
indispensable for effective legal research in
areas that may be vital both to scholars and
to practitioners.
Provision has also been made for the use of
the materials of legal research of the future.
A section of the library is fuJly fitted with the
basic equipment for use of microfilm and
microcards, designed to replace conventional
�books and to ameliorate their problems of bulk
and deterioration.
As a practitioner of a learned profession, the
lawyer is more than a craftsman. To encourage
a wide-ranging interest among the students, a
section of the main reading room has been set
aside for casual reading in fields of current or
general significance. Comfortably furnished,
the Cutler Browsing Alcove offers current
periodicals and a broad selection of
biographical and miscellaneous works.
LIBRARY FUNDS
In addition to a general University
appropriation, the Law School Library is
supported by many annual gifts by alumni and
friends and by a number of special
endowments.
The largest endowment funds for the Library
are the Gary Endowment Fund, established in
1925 by Elbert H. Gary (LLB., 1867), then
Chairman of the United States Steel
Corporation, and the Norris E. Crull
Endowment Fund, established in 1966 in
memory of Norris E. Crull (LLB., 1909) .
In 1947, under the auspices of the Law
Alumni Association, the John Henry Wigmore
Fund was established. Barnet Hodes (LLB.,
1921) in 1960 established the Barnet Hodes
Fund for the creation and maintenance of a
collection on local government. In 1967,
Joseph Rosenberg (LLB., 1910) and Mrs.
Rosenberg established the Judge Hugo M.
Friend Memorial Fund. The Philip A. Shapiro
Endowment Fund was established in 1968 in
memory of Judge Philip A. Shapiro (J.D.,
1932) of the Circuit Court of Cook County,
and Walter H. Moses established the Adolph
Moses Endowment Fund.
For a number of years Paul W. Cutler (J.D.,
1931) annually has provided funds to enrich
the collection in fields such as biography,
history, political science, and literature for the
Cutler Browsing Alcove. In addition,
Mr. Cutler is annually providing funds for
development of an especially fine collection
13
�on the European Common Market and on
international business law .
In 1969, the Smart Family Foundation made
a substantial grant for the establishment of a
collection on urban affairs.
Two gifts to the Law School in 1970
provided for the purchase of books for the
library. A substantial bequest of Louis
Manierre established the George Manierre
Collection, and a bequest of Cyrus H. Adams
increased the library's endowment fund.
In 1971, the library received a substantial
bequest from the late Mrs. Agnes Millar
Wigmore, in memory of the late Professor
Robert Wyness Millar. The income from this
fund is to be used for the purchase of books.
The Edwin E. Perkins Foundation provided
a major endowment in 1972 for the purchase
of books, materials, and equipment, known as
the Edwin E. and Kitty M. Perkins Library
Fund.
In 1974, under the will of Albert Kocourek,
a fund was established for the purchase of
books on jurisprudence. Professor Kocourek
was a member of the Law School faculty,
1907-40, and professor emeritus, 1940-52.
OTHER SCHOOL FACILITIES
Although hours in the classroom and the
library predominate both for students and for
faculty, there must be provision for the
informal give-and-take discussion in which
student lawyers hone their skills in analysis and
expression, and for moments of relaxation.
Lowden Hall , named for the first of several
of the School's alumni to serve as governor of
Illinois, is the principal School lounge and is
rich with reminders of the history of law and
the Law School. Here coffee and rolls are
available to students and faculty during the
morning hours under the auspices of the
Junior Bar Association. On the lower level are
lockers, food and beverage dispensers, and two
rooms equipped with tables for a coffee break
or light luncheon.
Separate offices are provided for student
activities, including the Junior Bar Association,
the Northwestern University Law Review, the
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology,
the Julius H . Miner Moot Court Competition,
and certain student organizations.
Faculty offices which open directly onto
main corridors for access without formalities
or intermediaries foster frequent and fruitful
informal meetings between student and teacher.
STUDENT RESIDENCE
Living and working together, law students
gain advantages that are significant if not
readily apparent. Casual conversation and
earnest discussion contribute to the
development of the prospective lawyer's powers
and personality. The stimulation and discipline
students give one another have an impact that
is directly evident in the classroom.
The ancient ancestors of modern law
schools, the English Inns of Court, depended
solely upon the influences of students' living,
eating, and arguing informally together to
produce lawyers of professional qualification.
For the student who resides in Abbott Hall, the
Law School becomes the center of everyday
life. The library and the classrooms are
accessible, the distractions of commuting are
avoided, and the student can concentrate
time and attention on preparing for the practice
of law.
For these reasons, all law students, except
married students and those whose homes are
within easy commuting distance of the School,
are encouraged to live in Abbott Hall. It is
designed to provide convenient living quarters
and to provide an atmosphere for development
of personal qualities which are so essential to
a lawyer, but which for the most part fall
outside the sphere of formal training.
The building, 18 stories high, overlooks
Lake Michigan on Lake Shore Drive from
Huron to Superior Street. It is constructed of
Indiana limestone and conforms in
Pion of a typical residential floor
in Abbott Holl
18

/
�architectural style to the classroom buildings on
the campus. The first two floors and the
basement contain common rooms for social
and recreational purposes; the upper 16
have private accommodations, with a lounge on
each of the upper floors. The first floor
contains general offices and a series of shops.
On the second floor are a large student lounge
and the dining rooms. Facilities for handball,
squash, weight lifting, exercise, billiards, and
table tennis are available in the basement.
Floors are reserved for the students of the
School of Law. Rooms are equipped
with desks, dressers, and beds with innerspring
mattresses. All rooms are provided with chairs,
draperies, and lamps. Bed linens are not
furnished. Each room has a double closet.
(Trunks are stored in the baggage room in the
basement.)
The cost of room and board in Abbott Hall
is reasonable and is below the rates charged
for other desirable accommodations in the
same part of the city. For the academic year
1975-76, the room rates range from $480 to
$670 per person per room. Before a room is
occupied, a contract for the academic year is
signed by the applicant.
Students may eat breakfast, lunch, and
dinner cafeteria style in Abbott Hall's spacious
dining rooms overlooking Lake Michigan. Hot
and cold foods are also available in the vending
canteen on the second floor. Students may pay
cash for a la carte meals, or they may sign
board contracts. Students who choose the
contract plan get 17 meals per week and have
the privilege of unlimited portions at all meals.
The cost of a school year board contract is
$775 .
The Division of Student Finance issues and
makes all adjustments on the residence bills
for Abbott Hall. Rental bills are issued for
payments on October 1, January 1, and April
1. Bills are due upon presentation and are
payable at the Cashier's Office in Abbott Hall.
Applications, together with a $50 room
deposit, should be filed as early as possible.
For room application, address the Manager,
Abbott Hall, 710 North Lake Shore Drive,
Chicago, Illinois 60611.
Abbott Hall also has a limited number of
furnished apartments for married students.
Two types of accommodations are available:
efficiency (one room) apartments ranging from
$140 to $155 a month, including utilities; and
one-bedroom apartments ranging from $175 to
$200 a month, including utilities.
Rental apartments also are available in
private buildings in the vicinity of the Law
School or within easy commuting distance.
The Off-Campus Housing Office in Abbott
Hall provides apartment, work exchange, and
apartments-to-share listings for students who
prefer to live off campus.
STUDENT HEALTH
Entering students are required to present
records of recent physical examination.
The Student Health Service for all students
in schools on the Chicago campus is located
in the Montgomery Ward Building, Room
2-009, of the Medical School. Available
medical services and limited hospital and
surgical coverage are described in the Student
Health Bulletin which each student receives
upon initial registration. Supplemental hospital
insurance and surgical coverage, necessary to
provide more complete coverage of hospital
costs of students and their dependents, is
available at nominal rates.
The clinic is open daily, except Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Physicians' hours are posted on the Student
Health Service bulletin board. In an
emergency, a student may report to the nurse
in charge, Room 2-009, during regular clinic
hours. Acute illness occurring outside those
hours should be reported to the Emergency
Room at Passavant Pavilion of Northwestern
Memorial Hospital.
Students are liable for the payment of
medical expenses incurred in the hospital
emergency rooms or the hospital out-patient
departments on unauthorized visits. An
unauthorized visit is one which has not had
the prior approval of the Health Service
excepting, of course, when circumstances of
time or physical condition make this
impracticable. Students are also liable for the
full payment of other medical expenses incurred
without prior approval of the Director of
Health Service. Specialty consultations beyond
those provided by the Health Service are
advised as indicated , but are the financial
responsibility of the students.

��"[Here the] teaching will ... give men what
they want to know when they go out to fight,
but ... it will send them forth with a pennon as
well as with a sword, to keep before their eyes in
the long battle the little flutter that means ideals,
honor, yes, even romance, in all the dull details."
-Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes,
at the dedication of earlier Law
School buildings, October 20,
1902.
THE COURSE OF INSTRUCTION
The purpose of the Law School is to prepare
its graduates for effective service in all fields of
law-to qualify men and women not only for
the private practice of the profession but also
for careers in government service, in commerce
and finance, and in legal education. The
curriculum does not concentrate upon
imparting knowledge of the legal rules
applicable in any one jurisdiction or region.
Rather, it concentrates upon the development
of the fundamental capacities and skills of the
lawyer.
Human activity is infinitely varied and everchanging. Law, bringing order and direction
to human relations, involves a continuous
process of growth and adjustment. Every legal
problem that comes to the lawyer is, in a
sense, unique. Effective professional education
must, therefore, prepare the student to deal
with situations never before encountered, to
direct the resources of the law to new fields
of human endeavor, and to handle not the
problems of the past but the cases of
the future.
INTELLECTUAL CHALLENGE
Reflecting this objective, the program of
instruction in the Law School differs markedly
from the usual undergraduate instruction. It
requires, of course, diligence and effort for a
mastery of the formal materials of the course.
Beyond this foundation, the instruction
demands of the individual student the thought
and initiative needed to extend learning beyond
the limits of the materials and to stretch powers
of analysis. As the lawyer must deal with new
situations throughout professional life, so the
student lawyer is taught to transcend rote
learning and to find his or her way in
unfamiliar contexts. The result is an
intellectual challenge that is both rewarding
and stimulating. The individual student is
spurred to go as far as mind and industry
will carry.
CLASSES
The law student typically attends classes for
15 or 16 hours a week. Class meetings
are scheduled throughout the morning and
afternoon Monday through Friday with time
for study between classes. There are occasional
special class meetings on Saturday, although
generally that day is available for uninterrupted
individual study and research. Two or three
times as many hours as are spent in class are
devoted to individual study. Time spent in
co-curricular activities and independent
research must be added to the requirements
of course work. The study of law, therefore,
is a full-time occupation.
In a typical Law School term, the student's
class attendance is distributed among four or
five courses. Some of the subjects represent
ancient categories of the law. Course titles
such as Criminal Law, Property, Contracts, and
Torts go back, as separate topics, to the days of
Lord Coke or Blackstone. But life has changed
since those early days in the law, and even
these traditional subjects have altered
substantially in content. Today in Torts, the
focus is on such disparate objects as the
automobile and the atom and upon the legal
problem each presents to an energized society.
Property law today concerns itself not only
with ancient learning but also with topics such
as urban renewal and air rights. Criminal Law
more and more is concerned with psychiatry,
with moC:ern correctional theories, and with
protection of the fundamental rights of the
17
�accused. The law of Contracts today finds
itself dealing with and adjusting to the subject
matter of tomorrow-plastics, space projects,
the building of skyscrapers, and the hiring of
research and development skills.
The changing character of law is reflected in
the content of traditional courses, altered to
keep pace with a changing society. It is
reflected, too, in the newer courses introduced
by the Law School into the law curriculum to
deal with emerging areas of legal service. The
lawyer is a full-time student for only one period
in his or her professional life. Within the limits
of the possible, education in that brief span
must be for the responsibilities of the legal
profession, not just for the day, but for the half
century of lawyer's work that lies ahead.
Labor Law, Taxation, and Administrative Law
were introduced into the basic program of the
Law School during the formative years of those
subjects, anticipating the current recognition of
their significance. Courses and seminars in
International Law, Scientific Evidence,
Consumer Protection , Comparative Law, and
Welfare Litigation are typical of other offerings
designed to meet the needs of the profession
in the years to come.
FACULTY
The basic instruction in the Law School
program is conducted by the full-time resident
faculty, who make teaching their first
responsibility. Each member is experienced in
private practice, in responsible government
posts, or both. Many are called upon for
consultation and advice by government
ag~ncies and private groups and are active in
the organizations and affairs of the legal
profession and the community. Their scholarly
activities include the delivery of lectures and
addresses before legal and public bodies and
the preparation of learned treatises and articles.
Such activities serve to complement and to
enrich the instruction. The casebooks and
other teaching materials for a majority of the
courses offered in the School were prepared by
the faculty members who teach those courses,
and many are widely used, standard works in
their respective fields.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
In recognition of the lawyer's function of
articulating the conflicting interests of society,
instruction in modern law schools is conducted
principally through participation by the class.
18
No longer does the student lawyer listen
passively in a lecture audience. To maximize
the opportunity for active participation
afforded each student, Northwestern Law
School has adopted a curricular policy
emphasizing instruction through relatively
small classes and seminars. First-year courses
enrolling 175 students or more have no place
in the Law School program. The entering
student will attend classes approximately half
that size. Seminars are limited in enrollment
and commonly range in size from 10 to 15
students. Advanced individual work is
conducted under the personal supervision of
one or more members of the faculty.
Instruction of this kind requires a low
student-faculty ratio. The program of the
School is based upon the conviction that this
concentration of educational resources upon
the individual student is the most effective way
to develop the skills that distinguish the legal
profession.
The Case Method
The case method of teaching, employed
principally in the formal courses, particularly
those offered in the first year, is founded upon
the premise that the first objective of law
training is to develop an understanding on the
part of the student of how and why the courts
decide cases as they do. The method was
adopted at the Law School in the earliest years
of its development. The materials of study are
the actual decisions of courts, embodied in
written opinions rendered in real and disputed
cases, rather than a textbook compendium of
legal rules. The cases themselves are the
specimens of legal controversy to be examined
and dissected. The student is brought to the
level of a participant in the proceeding,
analyzing each stage in the course of litigation
and each step in the process of decision.
Through painstaking scrutiny of a large
number of cases, the student shares vicariously
the experiences of the lawyers and judges who
conducted them and thereby gains an
understanding of the judicial process based on
first-hand observation of the law in action .
Although the case method varies in its use
with the approach of the professor, the
teaching styles grouped under this heading have
certain characteristic elements in common.
Under the case system it is essential that
students prepare thoroughly and intensively
before class. The course materials for this
�preparation consist of a casebook, a collection
of actual decisions in related kinds of
controversy. The class session in a casetaught course typically does not offer a lecture
but rather a discussion of several of these cases,
conducted in the manner of a Socratic dialogue
between the teacher and students. Questions
are designed to test the student's understanding
of the case, to identify the considerations that
controlled the decision, and to probe its
implications for similar situations and its
relation to other decisions.
Although the professor may upon occasion
depart from the interrogating role to explain
the background of a legal problem or to give
direction to the class discussion, the essence of
the case method is the collective probing and
searching in which the student's own powers of
reason and analysis are tempered and
developed. The system is in fact designed to
revert to the student, after he or she has
digested and evaluated the wide range of ideas
developed in group discussion, the task of
developing an understanding, first, of what
courts and administrative agencies do and why
they do it and, second, of how to participate
effectively in the process. From the outset of
a law school career the student is thus led to
do what one has to do throughout professional
life-think , analyze, and decide on one's own
initiative.
The Problem Method
The problem method, an instructional
technique originated at the Law School and
now widely employed throughout legal
education, is used in many second and
third-year courses. Here the emphasis is not
upon the cases or adminstrative decisions as
such. The focus of the student's work and of
the class session is rather a set of facts raising
legal problems for which there may indeed be
no authoritative solution. The student's task is
to take the available materials in the form of
decisions, statutes, and administrative rulings
and to construct or create a solution to the
problem.
Perhaps the problem is set at the stage where
the businessman asks for advice on a proposed
transaction. Or the transaction may already
have taken place , and the problem concerns
the consequences to be attached to the
transaction by the federal or state government
by way of taxation or regulation. In short, the
problems are much like those which come to
the lawyer in actual practice, and in fact they
are frequently drawn from life. Consultative
practice by some members of the faculty and
the generally close relationship between the
School and the practicing profession combine
to provide the student in a problem-method
course with an experience that closely
approximates the practice of law.
Characteristically, in a course taught by this
method, the student submits before the class
session a short memorandum solution to the
problem, based on his or her analysis of
relevant source material. In the class session,
the student or a classmate is invited to explain
the legal issues presented by the problem
19
�situation and the views he or she takes of those
issues. Discussion, often vigorous, follows.
Clinical Training and Practice Courses
Clinical training and practice courses
preserve in the Law School the advantages
which accrued to the aspiring attorney in an
earlier day when there were no law schools,
and the lawyer trained for the bar by working
in the office of an established lawyer, observing
the practice of law, and learning through trial
and error the arts and skills of the profession.
In 1910, Northwestern introduced to legal
education the idea of giving law students actual
experience in practice through the medium of
assisting in the provision of legal services to the
poor. This idea has been a part of the
curriculum since that time and is now
developed in clinical programs and courses
supervised by the faculty. In the Northwestern
Legal Assistance Clinic, located in Thorne
Hall, next door to the Law School, students
working under faculty supervision gain
practical experience in consulting with clients,
interviewing witnesses, and preparing pleadings
and other documents in a wide variety of cases,
both civil and criminal. Students also assist
the lawyers in the Clinic in the preparation for
and conduct of trials and, under the rules of
the Supreme Court of Illinois, qualified thirdyear students actually appear in court on
behalf of Clinic clients. The training is similar
in many respects to that provided during the
internship period in medical education.
During the first year, all students are
instructed in the techniques of oral and written
argument in the course in Moot Court.
Practicing the lawyer's skills, the student is
required to prepare a written brief in
compliance with prevailing professional
standards and to argue the case, opposed by
a fellow student, under courtroom conditions,
before an appellate court composed of alumni
and faculty members. This instruction is
continued on a voluntary basis in the second
year in the Julius H. Miner Moot Court
Competition.
In the third year, the student is offered a
choice of beginning and advanced trial practice
courses. The instruction provides the student
with actual experience in pre-trial preparation,
examining witnesses, presenting evidence, and
arguing to a jury. The student thus learns by
doing, not merely by precept, what the trial
lawyer must be able to do in court.
20
Much of the lawyer's practice is carried on
in the office, not in the courtroom. To prepare
its graduates for the work of counseling,
advising, and planning, the Law School offers
several courses in which the student is called
upon to solve client problems and draw the
legal instruments and documents which the
practicing attorney must be able to prepare.
Seminars
Seminars are offered in the second and third
years in a variety of fields. Here the student is
free to select subjects of special interest
and to explore new areas of the law. In a
group commonly numbering from 10 to 15,
with the guidance of a senior faculty member,
the student engages in intensive individual
work on some aspect of the general subject
embraced by the seminar. Many seminars cut
across traditional disciplinary boundaries and
include materials and participants from such
fields as economics, sociology, psychiatry, and
political science. Often the seminar student
writes a major paper and presents this product
of his or her own research and analysis for
the critical consideration of the seminar group.
Legal Writing Skills
Every student is offered the opportunity
during his or her Law School career to develop
writing skills. In the first year, each student is
required to take a course which provides
supervised experience in written communication
with particular reference to the field of law.
In the second and third years, further
experience is gained in supervised writing.
Before graduation each student is required to
complete one or more of the following:
• Editorial work meeting established standards
on the Northwestern University Law Review
or the Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology.
• Participation in the Julius H. Miner Moot
Court Competition during the second year
and in the National Moot Court Competition
as a member of a Law School team during
the third year.
• Participation in the Senior Research
Program.
• Enrollment in a seminar which requires
presentation of preliminary and revised
drafts which receive careful editorial
criticism prior to submission of the final
draft of the paper.
�Senior Research Program
The Senior Research Program in the third
year is an innovation in legal education
introduced in 1966-67. Under this program, a
student, with faculty approval, may elect to
devote as many as 12 credit-hours-close to
half of the third year- to advanced research
under the personal supervision of one or more
members of the faculty. During the second
year a student interested in this program may
choose a research subject with the assistance
and approval of a faculty member who is
interested in the same field and who will serve
as the student's supervisor. Because of the
flexibility of the curriculum, the student may
arrange a schedule to include Law School
courses and seminars which provide necessary
background for the proposed work. In the
third year the student meets at least weekly
with the faculty supervisor to discuss the
progress of the research. The final paper or
report must be approved by a faculty
committee.
The aim is not in itself to make a "specialist"
of the student, but rather to afford the
intellectual experience of exploring a subject to
its depths ; of sharpening one's powers of
analysis, observation, and communication; and
of making a genuine contribution to research.
Depending upon the nature of the subject,
projects may require research in the law
library and may also draw upon other
resources, including other libraries in the
University and the community; other
departments of the University, where course or
seminar offerings related to the field of inquiry
may be taken; or the community itself, where
field research may be undertaken. The
program also permits, with careful advance
planning and approval, work in other parts of
the nation or the world. For example, different faculty-student teams have engaged in
research for periods of six months in several
African nations as a part of the Senior
Research Program.
Faculty participants in the program carry
a classroom teaching load which is lighter than
normal so that they may devote more time to
the research, discussion, and critique necessary
to take the inquiry well beyond the bounds of
traditional individual study projects or seminar
work. Indeed, in many cases, work in the
program grows into joint, cooperative
student-teacher research approaches, more
significant-not only in substance but also in
working relationship-than anything heretofore
possible in a law school setting. A number of
joint books and articles have been published as
a result.
The challenges and rewards promised by the
Senior Research Program are many. As a
supplement to older techniques, the individual
learning and teaching offered by the program
provide significant further enrichment for
students willing and able to meet its demands
for initiative, self-discipline, and hard work.
The program is expected to serve, too, the
School's established goal of making increased
contributions on the frontiers of the law.
Most significant of all, perhaps, are the
opportunities for student and teacher to work
together in concrete ways toward the common
end of advancing the highest traditions of the
law as a learned profession and as a servant
of society.
THE THREE-YEAR CURRICULUM
In the last century, Northwestern, setting the
norm in legal education, was among the first of
the nation's law schools to require three years
of study for a degree in law. Beginning
students enter the Law School in September
and attend the two semesters of the regular
academic year for three years.
During the first year of law study, the
student follows a course designed to provide
an understanding of basic legal principles and
concepts and to give a solid grounding in the
fundamentals indispensable for all branches of
the profession. Here the student encounters the
grand divisions of private law- Property, Tort,
and Contract-as well as Constitutional Law
and Criminal Law. The course in Moot Court
meets in small groups ( 10-15 students) in
which the lawyer's basic tools and the firstyear student's individual problems in dealing
with them are under careful scrutiny.
Each entering student 1s assigned a
faculty member as adviser. This advisory
relationship is available in the first year to ease
the adjustment to the demands of law study.
Thereafter, the adviser becomes guide and
mentor as the student plans the work of his
or her last two years.
The wide range of electives offered by the
Law School in the second and third years
enables students who so wish to attain a degree
of concentration. Moreover, seminars often
provide opportunities for further exploration
of a field in a new context. For example,
21
�questions of criminal procedure may be treated
in a paper written for the Civil Liberties
seminar, or the underpinnings of Constitutional
Law may be studied in a seminar on
Comparative Law or Jurisprudence. Perhaps
most significant, however, is the opportunity to
sample a wide variety of problems in the law
and to foster new interests thus discovered.
For those courses which have two sections, the
School's policy of scheduling the sections at
different times and often in different semesters
is intended to permit the students to select
virtually any combination of elective courses
in the last two years.
JOINT DEGREE PROGRAM IN LAW
AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
Northwestern University has pioneered in
research integrating the study of law and the
social sciences. The joint degree allows
students to earn the J.D. and a Ph.D. in one
of the social sciences in five years, including
four years of courses and a dissertation year.
The primary objective of this program is to
produce scholars who have the skills necessary
to do basic and applied research on legal
systems. To do such research successfully, it is
essential for the scholar to be fully qualified as
a professional, both in law and in social
science. The graduates of this program qualify
for admission to the Bar and are competent
22
to practice law. They are also fully trained
in both the theory and methods of social
science and experienced in field research on
legal systems.
The program admits up to five students per
year.
Applicants interested in this program may
write for further information to Mrs. Mae
Clair, Program in Law and the Social Sciences,
Northwestern University, 357 E. Chicago Ave.,
Chicago, Ill. 60611.
THE COMBINED J.D.-M.M. PROGRAM
A student may earn the Master of
Management (M .M.) and the Juris Doctor
(J.D.) degrees during a period of four years if
he or she enrolls in both the Graduate School
of Management and the School of Law as a
participant in the combined degree program.
If earned independently, these degrees would
require a total of five years of study. Under
the combined degree program, the J.D. degree
may be earned by taking a minimum of 75
semester-hours in the School of Law, an
additional 15 semester-hours of credit toward
this degree being given for work completed in
the Graduate School of Management.
Similarly, the M.M. may be earned by taking
18 course units of work, additional credit for
6 course units being given for work completed
in the School of Law. Joint credit is given,
�however, only to those enrolled in the program.
The precise order in which work is taken
may be determined individually. A typical
program might be a full year of study in one
school and a full year of study in the other,
followed by combined study in both law and
management during the third and fourth years.
Every participant, however, must complete one
academic year of study exclusively in each
school before enrolling for a program of
courses in both schools.
An applicant to the combined degree
program should apply separately to each of the
schools, following procedures prescribed by
each school. To qualify for the combined
program, an applicant must be admitted to both
schools. After admission, the applicant must
signify which school he or she wishes to attend
first.
A student already enrolled in one school may
apply for the combined program by seeking
admission to the other school during his or her
first year of study in either the School of
Management or the School of Law.
A student in the combined program may be
considered for financial assistance separately by
each school for the first year he or she is
enrolled in that school and by both schools
when taking courses in both schools.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Programs for the second and third years
must have the written approval of the student's
assigned faculty adviser. In their second year,
students may register for no more than one
seminar in any semester. In any semester
third-year students may register for no more
than two seminars requiring the writing of
substantial papers.
Regular attendance is required in all courses.
No student should enroll in any course without
the intention and capability of satisfying this
requirement. Failure to attend regularly may
cause reduction in grades, loss of credit for
courses, additional remedial work, denial of
residence credit, or other appropriate sanctions
at the discretion of the instructor or the Dean.
EXAMINATIONS
Regular examinations are given in all formal
courses. In accordance with the prevailing
practice in legal education, a single final
examination is usually given, without periodic
or mid-term tests, to permit comprehensive
treatment of the subject matter and to measure
the student's capacity to work with and master
a substantial body of material. Although
examinations provide the most important
source for determining the student's relative
achievement, consideration may also be given
to the written work done in connection with a
course and to the preparation of assignments
for recitation as reflected in classroom
discussion. In seminars, examinations are not
ordinarily given . Grades are based upon the
products of individual research and
participation in the seminar discussions.
With the permission of the Dean, students
who are eligible but who for good reason are
unable to take an examination may take the
next regularly scheduled examination in the
course, take the examination late, or, in unusual
cases, be given a special examination.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Specific graduation requirements and details
of the grading system are set forth in the
"Rules of Northwestern University School of
Law, " published separately.
In general, to be recommended for the
degree of Juris Doctor, a student must complete
and earn credit in the 14 semester-hours of
the first semester; the remaining 13 semesterhours of required first-year courses ; and at
least 63 semester-hours of elective work; in
not less than six or more than seven semesters
in residence. After the first semester, in order
to remain in good standing, students enrolled
prior to September 1, 1975 must earn
satisfactory grades (Honors, Satisfactory, or
Credit) in at least two-thirds of the credithours completed; for graduation purposes, such
stud ents must earn satisfactory grades in twothirds of the credit-hours completed after the
first semester, but hours of unsatisfactory but
passing credit (graded Pass) may be offset by
hours of Honors.
A new grading system applicable to students
enrolling for the first time in the fall of 1975
and for all students commencing September
1977 has been adopted. It provides for letter
grades A+ , A, B+, B, C+, C, D and F.
Specific rules for the new system will be
announced by the faculty.
In addition, before graduation , the students
must meet the writing requirement described
above.
The faculty may change the req 11irements for
graduation at any time. This responsibility,
however, is not exercised in a manner which
will place an undue burden upon an enrolled
23
�student who has planned his or her program
on the basis of previously announced
requirements.
Instructors may establish one or more
prerequisites for enrollment in particular
courses and seminars in the second and third
years. Courses listed as concurrent requisites
may be courses taken previously or to be
taken concurrently.
DEGREES
Degrees are conferred by the Trustees of
the University upon students who are
recommended by the faculty of the School of
Law. Before a student is recommended for a
degree, he or she must have satisfied the
faculty as to character, and the student must
have complied with the requirements for the
degree for which he or she is a candidate.
The first degree in law awarded by the
University is the Juris Doctor (J.D.). It is
conferred upon students who have satisfactorily
completed courses carrying 90 semester-hours
of credit in the School of Law, including the
required courses described under Graduation
Requirements above. The work must be
pursued during a residence period of three
academic years or the equivalent. The last
year must be in residence at Northwestern
University School of Law, and in the case of
students transferring from another law school,
a minimum of 30 semester-hours of credit
must be earned at Northwestern.
When the faculty believes that the
candidate's record of scholarship merits special
recognition, the degree may be awarded cum
laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude.
Degrees conferred upon students who have
already obtained their first degrees in law are
described later in the information concerning
Graduate Study in Law.
COURSE LOAD
Courses totaling 16 credit-hours in any term,
in the opinion of the faculty, represent the
maximum amount of work which a good
student can do effectively under favorable
conditions. On the other hand, each student is
expected to register for not less than 14
credit-hours of work each term.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT
The seminars, the courses in Trial Practice
and the work in the Northwestern Legal
Assistance Clinic are limited in enrollment. The
24
School cannot assure that all students wishing
to enroll in a particular seminar, Trial Practice
course, or Clinic program can be
accommodated.
COURSE NUMBERING
Each Law School curricular offering is
assigned a seven- or eight-digit number as
follows :
01 - 320 - 74 Evidence
01 - 310-1 - 56 Civil Procedure I
(The Law School code within the University is
13 ; it is used to precede course numbers only
where necessary to distinguish Law School
courses from offerings of other schools of the
University.)
The first two digits identify broad fields
of study, as follows:
01 Procedure and Practice
02 Criminal Law
03 Torts
04 Contracts and Contract Consequences
05 Property
06 Family Structure and Arrangements
07 Business Structure and Regulation
08 Taxation
09 Governmental Structure and
Function
10 Admiralty, International Law, and
Foreign Law
11 Social Issues
12 Jurisprudence, Legal Philosophy, and
Legal History
The next three ( or four) digits identify the
particular course. The first of these three
digits also identifies level and place in the
curriculum, as follows:
100 Required first-year course
200 Elective course open to first-year
students
300 Upperclass elective course without
prerequisites.
400 Upperclass elective course with
prerequisite ( s)
500 Seminar without prerequisites
600 Seminar with prerequisite(s)
700 Clinical course
800 Senior Research
900 (reserved)
Where a course is a part of a subject
sequence, as with Civil Procedure I and II
the fourth digit identifies both that fact and the
course's placement within the sequence.
The final two digits identify the section and
instructor.

�SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS
In the total educational program of the Law
School, the formal course work within the
curriculum is supplemented by a variety of
additional offerings. Lectures by distinguished
scholars, jurists, and statesmen from the United
States and abroad serve as cultural adjuncts to
the regular courses and emphasize the broader
public obligations of the profession. In
recognition of the Law School's role in the life
of the profession, the community, and the
nation, conferences are held which bring
together leaders of thought and action for
discussion of subjects of major public importance. Through participation in these programs,
students can broaden their vision and develop
the sense of public responsibility which
characterizes the highest traditions of the bar.
Many of these curricular supplements are
presented by the Law School as an integral
part of the general educational program upon
an occasional basis and without special
sponsorship. Others are offered as part of
established and continuing programs within the
School. The most notable of these continuing
programs are described below.
THE ROSENTHAL LECTURES
The Julius Rosenthal Foundation, which is
administered by the Law School, was
established in 1919 in memory of the eminent
and beloved member of the Chicago Bar. The
funds are devoted to the support of significant
research and scholarship. One of the principal
programs supported by the Foundation is the
Rosenthal Lecture Series, which has assumed a
position in the forefront of distinguished
lecture programs in the legal world. Preeminent figures in law and related fields have
delivered the annual lectures. Their publication
in book form has made notable, permanent

THE LINTHICUM FOUNDATION
PROGRAM
The Charles Clarence Linthicum Foundation
was established in 1926 in memory of
Professor Linthicum, Class of 1882, a member
of the Law School faculty from 1902 to 1915,
and one of the most eminent patent lawyers of
his day. The income of the fund is devoted to
the support of research, study, and development
of the law of trade, industry, and commerce.
From time to time prizes have been awarded
from these funds to distinguished American
and European authors for meritorious books
and essays. In recent years, the Foundation
has sponsored a number of conferences with a
significant focus on interrelationships of law,
economics, and government. Among the particular subject areas which have been considered are antitrust, labor relations, general
economic and industrial organization, administrative regulation, land use, and European
Common Market development.
Since 1948, projects sponsored by the
Linthicum Foundation have included among
their participants many distinguished scholars,
jurists, and public officials, including William
L. Cary, John Kenneth Galbraith, Arthur J.
Goldberg, Judge Paul R. Hays, Newton N .
Minow, Eugene V. Rostow, the late Adlai E.
Stevenson, Dennis Thompson, and W. Willard
Wirtz.
OTHER ENDOWED PROGRAMS

LEGAL ASSISTANCE CLINIC
The Law School provides outstanding
opportunity for clinical education and legal aid
and defender work in the Northwestern Legal
Assistance Clinic, established in 1969 with the
assistance of grants from the Council of Legal
Education for Professional Responsibility, Inc.,
the Field Foundation, the Legal Aid Bureau of
United Charities, and Chicago attorney Arnold
I. Shure, with subsequent grants also from the
Woods Charitable Fund, Inc. An extension of
the Legal Clinic Program which the Law
School initiated in 1910, the clinic provides
civil and criminal legal services to persons who
are patients of the Northwestern University
medical and dental clinics. It also serves other
individuals and organizations in Chicago. The
Legal Assistance Clinic has five staff attorneys
and a social worker. During the school year
from 60 to 70 students work at the clinic
either as volunteers or for course credit.
Law students under the supervision of Legal
Assistance Clinic attorneys assist in the interviewing and counseling of clients, preparation
of pleadings and other legal documents, legal
research, interviewing witnesses, and preparing
for trial. First-year students chosen to work in
the clinic may complete their freshman legal
writing requirement by writing memoranda for
For many years, under the direction of
Professor Fred Inbau, the School of Law
annually has presented two outstanding courses
in the area of criminal law. In the summer of
1975, the 30th Short Course for Prosecuting
Attorneys and the 18th Short Course for
Defense Lawyers were held.
The program for prosecutors attracts
approximately 550 each year, and the course
for defense attorneys enrolls over 300. Most
of the states and many foreign countries are
represented at each session. Each program
runs a full week, offering instruction in the
trial and preparation of criminal cases. The
courses provide a forum for exchange of
information, discussion of significant developments in criminal law and procedure, and
consideration of new methods of scientific
investigation and proof.
The faculty for both short courses includes
prosecutors, defense attorneys, medical experts,
and other specialists from many areas of the
country.
CORPORATE COUNSEL INSTITUTE
Annually since 1962, Northwestern has
conducted the Corporate Counsel Institute in
cooperation with the American, Illinois, and
Chicago Bar Associations and the Illinois
Institute for Continuing Legal Education. The
two-day program reviews problems of current
importance to lawyers in corporate law departments and in private corporate practice. The
Institute regularly draws several hundred
lawyers from throughout the United States.
Institute lecturers are distinguished private
practitioners and lawyers within corporate law
departments, government officials, law
professors, and other scholars in fields of
antitrust, labor relations, securities regulation,
taxation, and other areas of corporate law
practice. Proceedings of the Institute are
published.
Students in the Law School are invited to
attend the Institute without charge. Many of
the papers presented are published in the
Northwestern Law Review and other law
journals.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
A well-seasoned aphorism, familiar to law
students everywhere, says law students receive
their education from their classmates. Like
many an old saw, the observation contains
within its exaggeration a kernel of truth. Law
school instruction is built.upon student
participation. Beyond the classroom the
student continues professional preparation
in give-and-take discussion, corridor debate,
and friendly argument with colleagues. The
vitality of the Law School is measured by the
quality and vigor of its student body.
At Northwestern the entering student
becomes a member of a closely knit community
of men and women, bound together by a
common pursuit and by the rich traditions of
the Law School's history. The student body is
comparatively small, averaging approximately
550 students. The modest size of the School
and its instructional policies-division of most
courses into two or more sections and the wide
range of electives offered after the first yearpromote wide acquaintance among students.
The beginner is carefully chosen through a
policy of selective admission designed to assure
that every member of the class is capable of
legal study at the highest and most challenging
level. The student's classmates are high-ranking
graduates of the leading colleges and
universities in the United States and abroad.
Students benefit from friendly relationships
with fellow students coming from a wide
variety of backgrounds. The typical student
body consists of men and women from 40
states and eight or ten foreign countries. One
hundred and seventy-three colleges and
universities are represented by graduates
enrolled in the Law School (see page 70.) A
variety of undergr.aduate majors are included,
and many students have earned graduate
degrees in other fields before entering the
Law School.
Law students tend to be individualistic and
venturesome, and a broad range of opinion
and experience is encompassed in the student
body. The stimulating contacts of student life
at the Law School combine to develop a
mature, tolerant, and broadened outlook in the
individual student. A healthy spirit of
competition, helpful in encouraging each
student to strive for excellence, complements
the kind of comradeship and mutual respect so
characteristic of the legal profession generally.
LEGAL PUBLICATIONS
The tradition in the legal world of accepting
as authoritative professional journals written,
edited, and published by men and women who
have not yet achieved full professional status is
unique. Students at Northwestern are fortunate
to have two regularly published scholarly
journals available for student research, writing,
and editing : the Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology and the Northwestern Univ ersity
Law R eview. Selection for membership on
a publication is at once a high honor, a great
responsibility, and a tremendous opportunity.
Although there are many advantages, the true
value of membership on a legal publication
lies in the sharpening of legal research,
writing, and editing skills which are so
essential to the effective practice of law.
Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology
A quarterly publication with worldwide
circulation, the Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology is universally recognized as the
foremost publication of its kind. It is the only
49
�student-edited law review published in the
United States which focuses on criminal law
and criminology and is one of the few such
professional publications in the world.
Founded by the late Dean John Henry
Wigmore in 1909, the Journal has the second
largest paid circulation among law reviews.
While the Journal centers on the field of
criminal law, its research reaches into other
areas, from constitutional implications of
various aspects of the criminal codes to the
impact of procedural and evidentiary rules on
the administration of criminal justice. Members
of the staff are thus exposed to analysis and
writing in all fields of the law while applying
the principles of law to the narrower focus of
their publication.
After completion of their first year, a
number of students are invited by the editorial
board of the Journal to join the staff on the
basis of outstanding scholastic performance.
The board invites an additional group of
students to join the staff on the basis of
demonstrated writing ability, either through
participation in the writing competition held
during the second year, or by submitting an
article of publishable quality. Those staff
members who satisfactorily complete their
duties are eligible for election to the editorial
board.
The editorial board holds complete
responsibility for the solicitation, selection, and
editing of competent material submitted for
publication by judges, practicing attorneys,
professors, and other legal scholars and for the
preparation of publishable student material in
the criminal law field.
Each staff member is given the opportunity
to write and publish both a comment on an
important area of criminal law and a case note
on a recent Supreme Court decision. The case
note is published in the December issue,
Supreme Court Review, thus giving the student
the unusual opportunity to be published early
in his or her law school career. A recent
innovation has been the dedication of the June
issue to a symposium on a relevant theme,
involving articles written both by professionals
and students. The June 1973 issue, for
example, was devoted to "Perspectives on
Innovation and Reform in Criminal Justice."
No rthwestern University Law Review
One of the most rewarding student activities
at the Law School is the publication of the
50
Northwestern University Law Review, one of
the nation's leading professional journals. The
Law R eview is circulated widely among
lawyers and judges and is often cited in briefs
and judicial opinions.
A law journal entitled the Northwestern Law
Review was first established by students of the
School during the academic year 1892-93,
within five years of the appearance of the first
student journal in the nation. Publication was
continued in 1906, after a ten-year suspension,
under the title Illinois Law R eview.
For a period. beginning in 1924, editorship
was shared with the law schools of the
University of Chicago and the University of
Illinois. In 1932, Northwestern students
resumed full control, and in 1952 the name was
changed to Northwestern University Law
Review.
At the end of the first year, outstanding
students are invited to write commentary on
legal problems for publication and to carry on
the research, editing, and related work of the
Law Review. Members of the staff are selected
on the basis of scholastic standing and the
results of a writing competition. Selection is
one of the highest honors and greatest
responsibilities the Law School can bestow.
Law R eview participation is hard work : it
requires the members to return several weeks
before school begins in the fall and demands a
major portion of their time during the academic
year. Participation on the Law R eview is both
a demanding and a constructive experience.
JULIUS H. MINER MOOT COURT
COMPETITION
To provide continuing practice and
instruction in the arts of appellate advocacy,
the first-year course in Moot Court is
supplemented by the Julius H. Miner Moot
Court Competition for second-year students.
Made possible by an endowment which
memorializes the late U.S. District Judge
Julius H. Miner, Graduate Law '45 , the
program is administered, under faculty
supervision, by third-year students comprising
the Moot Court Board and involves the
preparation of appellate court briefs and the
presentation of oral arguments before panels of
judges, practicing attorneys, and faculty
members. The cases typically raise issues of
current legal importance, more complex and
challenging than those assigned in the regular
first-year course. The final argument is
�conducted before the entire student body,
customarily with distinguished judges from the
federal bench. Those who have served as
presiding judges for final arguments include
former Justice Arthur J. Goldberg '30, and
Justices Tom C. Clark, Thurgood Marshall,
Potter Stewart, Byron R. White, and William
H. Rehnquist of the Supreme Court of the
United States. The Law School teams in the
National Moot Court Competition are chosen
on the basis of performance in the Miner
Competition.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT:
THE JUNIOR BAR ASSOCIATION
All students are members of the Junior Bar
Association and through it contribute to the
educational and recreational programs of the
Law School. JBA committees are responsible
for many activities, including the orientation
program for new students, off-campus housing,
and the allocation of student parking spaces.
Outstanding lawyers, judges and political
figures are frequent visitors to the School as
part of the JBA Speakers Program, often
meeting with students at coffee hours following
their speeches. The JBA placement committee
plans programs which introduce students to the
various opportunities available in the legal
profession.
The JBA sponsors social and recreational
programs throughout the academic year. Social
activities are planned to reflect the interests of
the student body. One of the most successful
programs has been the Friday afternoon social
hours, where students meet informally with
faculty and other members of the Bar.
HONOR CODE
An important product of the Law School's
philosophy of student responsibility is the
Honor Code and the broad authority granted
to the students, through the Junior Bar
Association, for its enforcement and
implementation. The basic tenet of the Honor

�The Caucus has been active in encouraging
appointment of women to the faculty, the
placement of women graduates, and programs
to encourage women's applications to the
School. The Extended Study Program, which
permits a small number of students to carry a
lighter load, was recommended by the
Women's Caucus and adopted by the faculty.
Periodic meetings of the Caucus focus on
iss ues of special interest to women, and guest
lecturers discuss topics of general interest to
the Law School community.

full hearing, the Council has the duty to make
findings and to recommend appropriate
disciplinary action to the faculty.
The Code covers all academic phases of Law
School activity. It is of special note that this
system has been chosen by the students and
that students administer the system which
guarantees the honor of the Law School
community. The habits of honor fostered by
this honor system stand the young lawyer in
good stead before the bench and bar.
THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
The Women's Caucus, an association of
women in the Law School, provides a forum
for discussion of the concerns of women
seeking a legal education and women employed
within the legal profession. Members also
participate in national conferences, regional
meetings, and local organizations concerned
with women's issues.
52
The Black Law Students Association serves
as a forum for the discussion of matters
concerning black students within the Law
School. BLSA promotes the discussion of legal
issues relevant to blacks and, whenever
possible, provides assistance and answers to
such issues. Occasionally BLSA will publicly
express its position on events which
significantly affect the black community.
BLSA objectives include increasing the number
of black attorneys in the United States by
encouraging interested blacks to pursue a legal
education, gaining greater minority
representation on the faculty and throughout
the University, and helping the local black
community. BLSA cooperates with chapters at
other Chicago law schools to achieve common
objectives.
RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS
Each year a number of second- and thirdyear students are selected to serve as Research
Assistants to individual members of the faculty.
These appointments carry a modest stipend but
are valued primarily for the opportunities they
afford for close participation in the ongoing
scholarly work and publications of the faculty.
LAW MATES
The Law Mates organization provides an
opportunity for the non-law student to understand something about the subject of law.
Members of the organization may enjoy an
informal talk by a faculty member on law
study or a legal problem of general interest,
or may spend the evening socializing with
other members of the group. Occasionally,
the Law School has presented short courses in
several legal subjects for Law Mates and staff
members.

School will commence with 50 students. The
tuition fees are to be $100 per year."
-Letter from Henry Booth, first
dean of th, Law School, to his
wife, dated Jun, 30, 1859.
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL
Each year the Law School receives many
hundreds of applications for admission from
every state in the United States and from
abroad. In recent years there have been 12 or
more applicants for each place in the entering
class.
The admission policies of the School of Law
are based on consideration of the whole person.
The Admissions Committee seeks to
individualize the admissions process and to
weigh a wide variety of factors from which
individual decisions can be made. Among these
factors are demonstrated scholarship,
intellectual capacity and qualities of character
requisite to the profession.
Since its early years the Law School has
followed this policy of selective admission to
preserve its character as a cohesive academic
community of moderate size and to assure
continued educational standards of the highest
order. Consequently, the School is unable to
accept many applicants who are capable of
successfully completing legal studies and
qualifying for the practice of law.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Application forms and information
concerning admission requirements may be
obtained by writing to the Office of Admissions,
Northwestern University School of Law, 357
East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
Students are admitted for classes beginning
in September only, and must have a bachelor's
degree from an accredited college or university
at the time of initial registration in the School
of Law.
Application to the Law School is accomplished by filing an application form with
the Law School and by registering with the
Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS)
of the Educational Testing Service, Box 944,
Princeton, N.J. 08540. The LSDAS form must
be requested from the Educational Testing
Service and returned directly to ETS, not to
the Law School.
The student's LSDAS registration must be
supplemented by a transcript sent directly to
LSDAS, not to the Law School, for each
college and university attended, regardless of
the number of hours of credit received.
( Exceptions to this requirement are noted in
the LSD AS registration manual.) Except
in unusual cases, transcripts should not be
supplied until they include a record of three
full academic years. If the application is
approved, the applicant must supply a final
transcript certifying the award of a bachelor's
degree directly to the Law School. The
LSDAS registration must also be supported by
a report of the applicant's score on the Law
School Admission Test.
Northwestern University School of Law
joined with several other schools in sponsoring
the development of this test, designed to
measure the student's general aptitude for the
study of law. Information on how to arrange
to take the test, administered by the Educational Testing Service, is supplied with
registration material for the test, which may
be obtained directly from the Educational
Testing Service, Box 944, Princeton, N.J.
08540. The test may be taken either before or
after the Law School application form and
LSDAS registration form are filed. An applicant for admission should ordinarily plan to
take the test as early as July and no later than
December preceding the year in which admission to law school is sought. When the scores
are available, they will automatically be added
to the LSDAS file for the applicant.
53
�LSDAS will provide Northwestern
University School of Law, as well as other law
schools to which the applicant wishes to seek
admission, with an analysis of the transcripts
and a report of the Law School Admission Test
score. A fee for this service is paid by the
applicant directly to the Educational Testing
Service. The full details of the Law School
Data Assembly Service accompany the
registration form.
An applicant must also submit, directly to
the Law School, on forms furnished by
Northwestern, recommendations from at least
two individuals, preferably college or university
instructors. Each application submitted to the
Law School must also be accompanied by a
non-refundable application fee of $20.
VISITS TO THE SCHOOL
The School is happy to have visits by
prospective students. An applicant does not
appear for a personal interview as part of the
admissions decision process, however, unless
invited by the Committee on Admissions. Since
all admissions decisions are made by a faculty
committee, an evaluative interview with the
Assistant Dean in charge of admissions would
not serve to communicate the special
circumstances of an applicant to all those who
may consider the case. An applicant who
wishes to supply special information should
submit a written statement.
Conferences will be held with students
interested in additional information about the
Law School or about the admission process.
These informational interviews should be by
appointment, arranged in advance by mail or
telephone .
WHEN TO APPLY
When possible, applications should be
submitted and supporting documents forwarded
before January 1, 1976. Applicants who follow
this procedure can expect to be informed of the
action of the Committee on Admissions by
March 1. All applications and supporting
documents should be submitted by March 1,
1976. Any application completed after that
date or any application which is Jacking
supporting documents on that date may, in
the discretion of the Committee on Admissions,
be rejected for that reason.
Applicants for financial assistance must
complete their applications by February 1.
(See page 59.)
Applications are considered and acted upon
54
after all supporting information has been
received. Determinations are made upon a
balanced evaluation of the applicant's college
record , the Law School Admission Test score,
the required recommendations, and other
submitted information bearing on the
applicant's capacity and qualification for law
study. Each application is considered carefully
and individually. The trend of undergraduate
achievement, performance in particular fields
and courses, and the demands and influence of
other activities and personal circumstances are
weighed and taken into account.
Each applicant who is accepted for
admission, whether or not he or she has been
awarded financial assistance, is required to
make a deposit of $100 no earlier than April 1
of the year of entrance. Upon registration the
deposit is applied toward tuition and fees.
No applicant previously enrolled in another
law school is admitted either as a beginning
student or as a transfer student if he or she is
ineligible to continue study at that school.
TRANSFER
The admission of a student previously
enrolled in another law school who wishes to
become a candidate for the degree of Juris
Doctor from Northwestern depends upon the
applicant's achievements in law study and upon
the factors which control the admission of
beginning students. Generally stated, the
standard requires a highly creditable law
school record.
Transfer applicants should submit the
standard application form following the instructions contained therein with the $20 application
fee, transcripts from each college and university
attended, including the law school from which
transfer is contemplated, and two
recommendations from former instructors, at
least one of which is a law school instructor.
In addition the applicant must have
furnished an official copy of the Law School
Admission Test score, a statement of law
school class standing ( or other basis for
interpreting law school record), and a
statement of eligibility to continue in his or her
present law school.
Since the record of all Jaw school work
completed must be submitted before a transfer
decision can be made, such decisions are not
usually made until late summer.
The granting of credit for courses completed
in other schools and the allowance of advanced
standing rest within the discretion of the Dean
�of the School. In no event is transfer credit
given for law school work in schools which are
not members of the Association of American
Law Schools or for courses in which the
student received a grade below C or its
equivalent.
EXTENDED STUDY PROGRAM
Recognizing that heads of households with
small children have special family obligations
which cannot always be met by the granting of
financial aid, the Law School has instituted an
Extended Study Program which allows
participants to take four years to complete the
normal three-year course of legal study.
A maximum of five Extended Study
Program students are admitted to each
first-year class. The program is open to
applicants of exceptional ability who have
special family obligations ( such as the care of
preschool children or unusually heavy financial
commitments) which cannot be met by
customary financial aid.
Participating students are required to register
for at least ten hours of course work each
semester. In order to complete the program
within four calendar years, students may either
take more than ten hours in some semesters
or attend summer school, or both.
Although the program is designed primarily
for women with children, applications are
accepted from men who find themselves in a
situation analagous to that of a woman who
would be eligible for the program.
PRE-LEGAL STUDY
A bachelor's degree from an accredited
college or university is required for enrollment
in the Law School, but no specific fields of
major study or particular courses are
prescribed. The purpose of the requirement is
to provide the prospective lawyer with a sound
liberal education for the discharge of his or her
broader professional responsibilities and to
provide a foundation for law school training.
Since the reach of the law's concerns may be
as wide as the range of human behavior, no
particular course of undergraduate study is
viewed as conferring a special advantage in
the law.
College curricula vary, the content of
courses bearing the same title may be
dissimilar, and teaching attitudes and emphases
differ. Accordingly, suggestions must be
general. Courses in such fields as history,
economics, anthropology, sociology,
government, and political science may help the
student to understand the structure of society
and the problems of social ordering with which
the law is concerned. Studies in philosophy
and literature may impart a familiarity with the
traditions of thought that have influenced legal
developments. The examination of human
behavior in courses in psychology and its
analysis through statistical method may also
prove worthwhile.
In developing the skills of a lawyer, the
college student should pursue studies that
enhance the power to express oneself with
clarity and force. English, foreign language
courses, and public speaking are recommended ,
as well as other courses in which written work
of high quality is demanded. For the systematic ordering of abstractions and ideas, the
physical, natural , and mathematical sciences,
in addition to logic, are suggested.
Apart from subject matter, the student
preparing for the study of law should take
courses of sufficient difficulty to assist in the
development of the rigorous intellectual
discipline essential to success in law school.
He or she would be well-advised, in addition,
to pursue study in some definite field far
enough to attain a mastery of the subject. The
typical student who follows his or her own
interests and tastes is more likely to extend
himself or herself and thereby to increase
capacities for law study.
It is perhaps advisable, however, for the
prospective law student to avoid undergraduate
courses in law designed to prepare one for
other callings and duplicating law school work.
Ordinarily, the time and effort are better spent
in studies in other fields.
In general, the undergraduate college student
is best advised not to try to prepare particularly
and narrowly for law school studies, but to
prepare for life as a lawyer by obtaining the
best available general education. He or she
will find that what is best for law school is also
the best in liberal education-a course of study
that develops in the student the capacity for
understanding, for independent thought, and
for effective self-expression.
55
��TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
The cost of a year of law study varies with
the needs, habits, and circumstances of the
student. As a base from which individual
estimates may be drawn, the sum of $6,570
approximates the minimum total expense for
the academic year of the average unmarried
student residing in Abbott Hall, the Law
School dormitory. Of this total, about $4,070
is required for tuition, fees, books, and
supplies. The remainder represents the typical
expenditure for room, board, and personal
needs.
TUITION
The student's total investment in legal
education, although large in absolute terms,
is insubstantial in comparison with its total
returns in the decades of later professional life.
Short-term economies often prove wasteful in
the long run . In the interests of its students,
the Law School has made every effort to hold
down the costs, but in the same interests, it has
refused to sacrifice any of the elements of a
legal education of the highest quality. The cost
of each student's education is only partly
covered by his or her tuition payments. A
substantial portion is paid from income from
endowments and from annual gifts of alumni
and friends of Northwestern.
Tuition for the academic year 1975-76
Full tuition for candidates
for the J. D. degree,
$1,920
each semester
Part-time tuition, each
$190
credit-hour
Auditor's fee, each weekly
$190
class hour
Resident in Research fee,
$80
each semester
Full tuition for candidates for
the LL.M. and S.J.D. degrees,
each semester
$1,755
Subsequent years
Increases in tuition may be anticipated for
subsequent years.
Candidates for the degree of Juris Doctor
are classified as undergraduate students.
Candidates for the degree of Master of Laws
(LL.M.) or the degree of Doctor of Juridical
Science (S.J.D .) and students who have
received their Bachelor of Laws or Juris Doctor
degrees or their equivalents and are in their
first semester of full-time graduate work
pending their acceptance as candidates for a
·g raduate degree are classified as graduate
students. All other students are unclassified
students.
Candidates for the S.J.D. and LL.M. degrees
who have done full-time graduate work at this
University for two semesters are charged the
Resident in Research fee unless they take
courses or seminars. They are then charged at
the rate of $190 per credit-hour
Unclassified students in residence who are
neither taking courses or seminars for credit
nor auditing courses or seminars are charged
the Resident in Research fee.
All information on tuition , fees, and other
costs is subject to change without notice.
FEES
In addition to tuition, the following
academic fees, mostly non-recurring, are
charged:
Application fee ... ........... ...... $20
Not transferable; not refundable.
Late registration fee . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10
Late Health Service requirement fee . . . 2
For students who do not complete the initial
Health Service requirements as specified in the
Student Health Bulletin.
Duplicate transcript of record, each . . . .
1
Multilith Fee
In many courses it is necessary to supply
multilithed materials to supplement assigned
casebooks. A flat charge of $15 each semester
for J.D. candidates helps to defray the cost of
duplicating such supplementary materials. In
instances where the teaching materials used in
a course consist entirely or mainly of
multilithed materials prepared by the instructor,
an additional charge may be made.
57
�Advance Deposit
An advance deposit of $100 is required of
all applicants accepted for admission, including
those granted financial assistance. This deposit
is applied as part payment of tuition and fees
but is not refundable.
PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
Tuition and fees are billed and paid by
semester, rather than for the full academic
year. Payments are due at the beginning of
the term upon the date specified in the
statement sent to each student after registration.
The Cashier's Office, conveniently located on
the first floor of Abbott Hall, receives these
payments.
The Division of Student Finance, on the
first floor of Abbott Hall, issues the statements
and makes all adjustments.
Although the University collects charges as
stated above , parents can make arrangements to
pay on a monthly basis through the Insured
Tuition Payment Plan, which must be done far
in advance of enrollment. This organization
offers both prepayment and extended payment
programs and protects the student's educational
plans with life and disability insurance on the
parent.
WITHDRAWAL AND REFUNDS
Official withdrawal forms are available from
the Registrar of the School of Law. Except for
students who are compelled to withdraw
because of compliance with military orders,
students who withdraw before the end of
one-fourth of the term are liable for one-fourth
of the tuition for the term. Students who
withdraw after the first one-fourth of the term
and before the middle of the term are held for
one-half of the tuition for the term. Students
who withdraw after the middle of the term are
held for full tuition. Regardless of the time of
withdrawal, students are liable for all fees. In
the case of exclusion for nonpayment of
tuition, the same charges are made in
accordance with the above schedule. In all
cases, either the date on which the student
withdrew from classes and filed a written
withdrawal notice with the Registrar of the
Law School or the date of formal exclusion
is used in figuring any adjustment on tuition.
REBATES
Information about rebates for full-time
faculty and staff, their spouses, their dependent
sons and daughters, and employees of
Northwestern-affiliated institutions may be
obtained at the Student Finance Office,
Abbott Hall. Applications must be filed
with that office before the student's first
registration each school year.
STUDENT DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
The University maintains a student deposit
account at the Cashier's Office, Abbott Hall, as
an accommodation to students. There is no
charge for this service, and no interest is paid
on deposits. Personal bank checks in amounts
not exceeding $25 may be cashed at the
Cashier's Office by students who present their
University ID cards.
58
�FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The Law School is committed to providing
all possible assistance to law students so that
they may reach their educational goals. However, scholar~hip and loan funds available for
this purpose are quite limited, and not all
students who demonstrate financial need can
be given financial assistance.
Each application for financial assistance is
considered individually and each award is
determined after an appraisal of the student's
monetary needs. The application is considered
for awards of scholarship grants and repayable
grants. The committee expects that each
applicant will obtain as much financial
assistance from other sources as is possible.
Some scholarships, described below, are
available for students with exceptional ability
and attainments.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
The Law School is a participant in the
Graduate and Professional School Financial
Aid Service ( G APSFAS) . All applicants for
financial aid must file a GAPSFAS form
entitled "Application for Financial Aid for
the Academic Year 1976-77." The GAPSFAS
application may be obtained from the financial
aid officer at the institution the applicant is
currently attending or from the Graduate and
Professional School Financial Aid Service,
Box 2614, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.
The application should be filed no later than
January 1 in order to assure its receipt at the
school by February 1. The application contains
sections to be completed by the applicant, by
the spouse or prospective spouse, and the
applicant's parents. An applicant must complete all three sections to be considered for
aid at the Law School.
An application for financial aid will be
considered after an applicant has been accepted
for admission . The admission decision will not
be affected by a request for financial assistance.

��GRADUATE STUDY AND DEGREES
The graduate program of the Law School has
several objectives. One purpose is to offer to
recent law graduates who have demonstrated
superior proficiency in the study of law as well
as to active practitioners, an opportunity not
only to broaden their legal knowledge but also
to study and engage in research in particular
fields of interest. The School also desires to
make its facilities available to law teachers and
prospective law teachers interested in advanced
study and original research and writing under
faculty guidance. In addition, the program is
intended to provide outstanding graduates of
foreign law schools with an opportunity to
expand their knowledge of American legal
processes and to engage in comparative legal
research.
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY
AND TO CANDIDACY FOR
ADVANCED DEGREES
The admission of students who have been
awarded a first degree in law to graduate study
or to candidacy for the degree of Master of
Laws or Doctor of Juridical Science is at the
discretion of the Committee on Graduate
Studies.
Experience indicates that foreign students
whose native language is not English have great
difficulty in meeting the requirements unless
they have a good command of written and
spoken English.
Application forms and additional
information may be secured by writing to the
Committee on Graduate Studies, Northwestern
University School of Law, 357 East Chicago
Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
DEGREES
Two graduate degrees are granted: the
degree of Master of Laws (LL.M . ) and the
degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.).
Master of Laws (LL.M.). The degree of
Master of Laws is conferred upon students who
have obtained a first degree in law from this
University or another having equivalent
requirements; in unusual cases, this
requirement may be waived by a vote of the
faculty. Also, such students must fulfill the
following requirements:
1. The completion of one academic year
of residence in this School, during which time
credit must be obtained for not less than 10
semester-hours in courses or seminars not
previously counted toward the first degree in
law. Students who have not previously taken,
for their first degree in law, a course or seminar
in the general field of jurisprudence must
include such work in their program.
Each graduate student's course program is
individually planned in relation to the
student's choice of a thesis topic. To the
extent necessary to establish a background for
the research , the Graduate Committee may at
its discretion require a graduate student to take
course and seminar work in addition to the
minimum prescribed above. During their year
of residence, graduate students are required to
maintain a superior scholarship record.
2. The completion of a thorough study of
some approved legal topic and the presentation
of a paper embodying its results. The
candidate's thesis must be suitable for
publication in the Northwestern University
Law Review or the Journal of Criminal Law
and Criminology.
3. The passing of an examination to be
prescribed by the faculty.
Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.). The
degree of Doctor of Juridical Science is
conferred upon students who have obtained the
degree of Juris Doctor from this or some other
university or college having equivalent
requirements for that degree or who have
obtained the degree of Bachelor of Laws from
another university or college whose
requirements for that degree are equivalent to
those prescribed by this School for the degree
of Juris Doctor and who have fulfilled the
following requirements:
1. The completion of one academic year of
residence in this School. The time required for
the completion of a candidate's work, however,
normally runs far beyond the period of
residence required.
65
�2. The completion of a study to be
approved by the faculty or its designated
committee. This study shall be one involving
original research and must be completed in
such manner, both as to subject matter and
literary form, as to be, in the opinion of the
faculty, a significant and scholarly contribution
to legal science.
3. The completion of such other work, if
any, as may be directed by the Dean in the
particular case.
4. The passing of an examination to be
prescribed by the faculty.
Faculty policy restricts this degree to
candidates who have had substantial experience
either in practicing or teaching law and who,
through published writings, have evidenced
their capacity for advanced graduate work.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
Full information concerning tuition and fees
for graduate study appears on preceding pages.
The expenses of an unmarried student for
the academic year, including books, board and
room, and incidentals (but excluding tuition
and fees) should be estimated at a minimum
of $3,500.
Accommodations for both married and
unmarried graduate students are available on
the University's Chicago campus.
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS
Two James Nelson Raymond International
Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis
to foreign applicants interested in any field of
legal study, including international legal
studies. Each fellowship presently provides for
the payment of tuition plus $3,500 for books
and living expenses.
The Anna L. and James Nelson Raymond
Fellowship in a similar amount is awarded on a
competitive basis to a United States applicant.
The fellowships provide for payment of tuition
and fees; the balance of $3,500 is paid to the
student in 10 installments, the first on
September 1.
Normally, fellowships are not awarded to
foreign students who already have spent a year
in this country under another scholarship grant.
The fellowships are granted for one year only.
Fellowships do not provide for travel
expenses. A student must make individual
travel arrangements. A successful fellowship
applicant should also bring sufficient funds for
personal expenses from the time of arrival until
September 1.

That's where we learned our law."

THE SCHOOL AND ITS ALUMNI
The associations formed in the years of study
at the Law School are lifelong. The School,
through its Placement Service, offers assistance
to the graduate in finding a position which
promises satisfaction both in economic terms
and in self-realization and contribution.
Th e School's alumni assist in keeping alive
memories and friendships of student days and
provide the support so important to the School.
PLACEMENT
At graduation the Northwestern law student
joins the century-long procession of Law
School alumni. A wide range of choice is open.
To provide its graduates with advice, guidance,
and a broad selection of opportunities for their
legal careers, the Law School maintains a
placement service under the direction of the
Associate Dean of Placement.
Through general announcements to the
profession and particular inquiries, the
Placement Service gathers information on
professional opportunities and openings,
compiles complete listings of these opportunities, maintains files for the use of prospective
graduates, and posts announcements of new
openings to keep the student's information
current.
While there are many who practice law, the
demand for well-trained, able young lawyers
has not diminished . The rising level of starting
salaries gives evidence of the professional need .
Each year the Placement Service receives
inquiries and requests from numerous law
firms , corporations, and government agencies.
A majority of the Law School's alumni are
engaged in the private practice of law. Some
have chosen to remain in Chicago, while others
have settled in cities and towns throughout the
United States. In large firms and in individual
practice, Northwestern graduates rank as
leaders of the bar in every state in the nation
and in many foreign countries. In service to
their profession and their clients, they have
occupied the presidencies of the American,
state, and local bar associations.
Not all alumni elect the rewards of private
practice. Furthering a strong tradition of
public service, a number of those in each
graduating class accept positions with
government at the national, state, or local level.
Working with prosecuting and investigating
agencies, on government boards and
commissions, and on the staffs of government
departments , they are often vested with major
responsibilities and acquire wide experience
early in their professional lives. After a period
of government service, many enter private
practice, where their experience in government
is of great value. Others make public service
a career and attain high public office, elective
or appointive.
The roster of Law School alumni includes
past and present governors and United States
senators, cabinet members, department heads,
United Nations representatives, diplomats,
mayors, attorneys general, prosecutors,
legislators, and government advisers.
In the judiciary, Northwestern graduates
have served with distinction on the benches of
the highest courts, both federal and state.
For the top-ranking students, there are opportunities for clerkships with justices and judges
of the federal and state courts.
Through the years, Northwestern, for its
size, has contributed more than its share of the
nation's law teachers. Its graduates have joined
the faculties of nearly all the major Jaw schools
in the United States, and many have served as
67
�deans, university presidents, and leaders in
other branches of education.
An expanding field of opportunity beyond
the limits of traditional practice is offered the
Law School graduate interested in business,
industry, and finance. In increasing recognition
of the values of legal training, corporations,
banks, and companies in a wide range of
enterprise seek Law School graduates not only
for their legal staffs but for executive positions.
Attractive starting salaries and opportunities
for advancement in management have
combined to draw a substantial number of
graduates of the Law School. Alumni have
risen to principal executive posts in many of
the nation's largest corporations in such fields
as transportation, oil, retailing, insurance,
finance, public utilities, and manufacturing.
Graduating students must make their own
choice from the array of professional
opportunities open to them. It is the function
of the Law School's Placement Service to assist
seniors in exploring the possibilities and help
in arranging the necessary contacts.
Each year a large number of law firms from
major cities throughout the United States send
members of the firm to the Law School to
interview advanced students. Government
agencies, corporations, and banks also send
representatives to the School for interviews.
Beyond its service to current graduates, the
Placement Service also seeks to provide
temporary placement of students with law firms
and government agencies for summer vacation
periods, in Chicago and elsewhere, and the
placement of alumni of earlier years who are
returning from military service or are seeking
a change of position.

�THE LAW ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Over the years, the Law School has enjoyed
the loyal support of its alumni. In 1959, they
commemorated the Law School's centennial by
contributing substantially to the construction
of Robert R. McCormick Hall and the Owen L.
Coon Library, and their generous annual gifts
to the Law Alumni Fund provide scholarships
and significant support for the general program
of the School.
Many alumni assist directly in the
educational program. A number serve as
judges in the Moot Court program. In
addition, alumni are frequently asked to draw
President
1st Vice-President
2nd Vice-President
3rd Vice-President
Secretary
Treasurer
Immediate Past President
upon their practical experience and special
knowledge in particular fields of law by
participating in course work or addressing
student groups. They render invaluable
assistance in connection with the placement
program.
Each year alumni reunions are held during
the meetings of the American Bar Association
and various state bar associations. An alumnifaculty luncheon is held in the fall , and an
alumni dinner is held each spring in Chicago
with a prominent guest speaker.

��"Where there is arbitrary power, there is no
occasion to study the law; when the law begins
to reign, its teachers and practicers come forth."
-David Dudley Field, at the
dedication of the Law School,
September 21, 1859.
LAW STUDY AT NORTHWESTERN
The first law school in its state and region
and one of the oldest in the nation,
Northwestern's School of Law enjoys a rich
heritage. Since its founding in 1859, it has been
dedicated to the education of men and women
for all branches of endeavor in the law under
the highest standards of academic and professional excellence. This dedication marks
the character of the Law School today.
Long identified with progressive movements
in legal education, the Law School has always
sought to prepare students for the broad
challenge of. the future. To this end, the
program of instruction is designed to foster an
understanding of the principles that guide
growth and change in the law.
Early in its history the Law School adopted
a policy of limited enrollment to promote
educational quality. Today Northwestern
remains a law school of medium size, small in
comparison with others of national standing,
with approximately 550 students seeking their
first degree in law. The substantial size of the
faculty gives the School one of the two or three
lowest student-faculty ratios found among the
leading law schools. This makes a close
working relationship between student and
teacher possible, thereby fostering professional
training of the highest order and providing an
opportunity for the development of each
student's unique capabilities.
LOCATION OF THE CAMPUSES
The Law School is situated on the shore of
Lake Michigan near the business center of
Chicago. Not far to the south, along the lakefront, lie Grant Park, a series of yacht basins,
museums of art, science, and natural history,
a planetarium, and an aquarium. Nearby are
Orchestra Hall, home of the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra, and the Chicago Public
Library. To the north extends the Gold
Coast, an area of residential apartments
separated from the lake by a continuous series
of parks, beaches, golf courses, and boating
facilities. Near the campus, to the west, is one
of the city's centers of art and entertainment.
A half-mile to the southwest is the Loop, the
central business and shopping area of Chicago
and the legal and financial center of the region.
Here, convenient for student visits, are located
the offices of federal, state, and municipal
governments, including trial and appellate
courts of both the state and federal
governments, ranging from the local small
claims courts to the United States Court of
Appeals.
The Law School constitutes part of the
self-contained professional campus of
Northwestern University, where several other
buildings house the Medical School and the
Dental School. Also on the campus are Thorne
Hall, containing an 800-seat auditorium and
housing the Northwestern Legal Assistance
Clinic; Abbott Hall, the 18-story student
residence for the men and women enrolled in
the professional schools; and hospitals which
are members of The McGaw Medical Center
of Northwestern University.
Living and studying on a self-sufficient
graduate campus, the law student remains free
from the distractions of undergraduate life.
The original campus of the University, where
the main body of about 6,300 full-time undergraduate students and 3,000 graduate students
is enrolled, is 12 miles north in suburban
Evanston.
The Evanston campus, available and
accessible to Law School students for courses
and seminars, general library resources,
cultural activities, and athletic events, has
been the focus of the First Plan for the
Seventies, the initial phase of a long-range
9
�program to maintain the University as a major
center of teaching, scholarship, and research.
The $12-million University Library, key
academic facility of the First Plan, opened in
1970. Other new facilities are the Norris
University Center, Lindheimer Astronomical
Research Center, 0. T. Hogan Biological
Sciences Building, Frances Searle Building (the
communicative disorders center), Nathaniel
Leverone Hall (the Graduate School of
Management's new headquarters on the
Evanston campus), School of Education
Building, Rebecca Crown Center (the
University's administration building), and
new student residences. The new PickStaiger Concert Hall, part of the developing
fine and performing arts complex, was
completed in 1975.
The University recently announced a new
$177-million, five-year fund drive-"Toward
the Eighties." The major thrust of the
campaign is aimed at raising $128 million for
current and future educational operations;
some $49 million is being sought for a
building program.
LAW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Unlike the physical sciences, legal learning
requires no elaborate apparatus. For the
serious student, however, a stimulating and
congenial environment contributes to the
educational process. Good professional
training requires more than a comprehensive
library and classrooms designed for effective
teaching. There must be places for reflection
and concentration and arrangements conducive
to informal interchange between student and
student and between student and teacher. The
atmosphere should imbue the student of law
with an appreciation for the finest traditions
of the bar and for the professional heritage
the student will share.
The Law School consists of a complex
of buildings arranged to form a quadrangle
occupying the block between Chicago A venue
and Superior Street west of Lake Shore Drive.
The original buildings, Levy Mayer Hall and
the Elbert H. Gary Library, were completed in
1926. Robert R. McCormick Hall and the
Owen L. Coon Library were completed in
1960. The quadrangle completely encloses a
handsome garden which is frequently used for
open-air discussions and study.
In interior design and ornament, the
buildings of the School are rich in the lore of
the law. About 2,500 portraits, engravings,
10
etchings, and photographs, collected by the late
Dean John H. Wigmore in the United States,
England, and abroad, are hung about the
School to illustrate the people and events of
the law throughout history and throughout the
world.
CLASSROOMS
The Law School contains seven major
classrooms. These generous facilities make it
possible to schedule a number of classes at the
same time. Most classes, including all those in
the first year, are divided into sections. As a
consequence, the number of students attending
a class seldom exceeds 85 and is often
much smaller. Such classes, small by general
law school standards, encourage responsible
participation by each student in the probing,
analytical discussion that is the mark of legal
education at Northwestern. The design of
Lincoln Hall, the largest of the classrooms,
was suggested by that of the British House of
Commons.
In addition to the major classrooms, the
School has four seminar rooms scaled and
furnished to provide comfortable and congenial
surroundings for smaller study groups. The
seminars of the second and third years meet
here, numbering typically from 10 to 15
students seated informally around a table with
one or more faculty members for a detailed
analysis of problem areas lying at the frontiers
of legal development. In such study, the
student necessarily bears a large measure of
responsibility for giving direction and substance
to the discussion.
For instruction in trial and appellate
practice, the School has a fully-equipped,
modern courtroom. Complete with witness
stand, jury box, counsel tables, and seating for
spectators, it accommodates actual criminal
and civil trials conducted occasionally by
courts sitting in Illinois and is used for the
teaching of trial practice.
LIBRARY
The indispensable instruments of the
lawyer's calling are books, and a
comprehensive and well-arranged library is
essential to effective training for the
profession. The library with its associated
research facilities is the heart of the Law
School.
The Northwestern Law School Library
consists of two buildings integrated physically
and administered as a unit, the Elbert H. Gary
�Library and the Owen L. Coon Library. In
combination, the library occupies a full side of
the Law School quadrangle extending from
Chicago Avenue to Superior Street and
includes four floors of working area. The
Elbert H. Gary Library, part of the original
Law School buildings, is named for the donor
of the building who also established the Gary
Fund, which provided for the acquisition of
substantial parts of the original collection and
also provides in part for the current purchase
of books. The Owen L. Coon Library, built in
1960, is named in recognition of a substantial
gift from the Owen L. Coon Foundation.
With its collection of more than 342,000
volumes, Northwestern has one of the largest
law libraries in the Western Hemisphere. Even
more important than size, however, is the
utility of the collection. The main reading
room of the library occupies the highest floor
of the building and is divided by shelved
partitions into dozens of secluded but welllighted alcoves fitted with large working
tables and chairs to provide convenient
accommodations close by the books. The
arrangement is repeated on the lower floors,
with the addition of a number of individual
carrels for sustained and concentrated research.
Included on a lower level are glass-walled
study and typing areas.
The library is operated with an open-stack
policy to bring readers and books together
without unnecessary formalities. The student is
free to browse and to search at will through the
collection, and may call upon the expert fulltime staff of 21 if in need of guidance, aid,
or suggestions. The library is open daily
throughout the year and in the evenings as
well, whenever the School is in session. To
provide for the heavy demands of faculty
research, a separate working collection is
maintained in the Faculty Library.
The course of instruction has been designed
not only to provide basic instruction in the use
of legal materials but also to encourage full use
of the library's large resources and to afford
every student extensive opportunity for
independent scholarly research.
The Law School Library's Anglo-American
collection includes almost all the reported
decisions of the courts of the United States, its
John Paul Stevens, '47, Justice,
United States Supreme Court
11
�separate states and territories, Great Britain
and the Commonwealth, together with their
statutes and session laws and subsidiary
publications-digests, encyclopedias, annotated
cases, textbooks, periodicals, bibliographiesnecessary to form a complete working
collection for every legal system in the English
language. A well-selected, comprehensive
collection of United States government
documents is maintained for the teaching
program and for the use of the legal profession
in general. A complete collection of documents
is available at the University Library on the
Evanston campus, which is a designated
government depository library. This AngloAmerican collection is supplemented by a
selection of works in the fields of history,
economics, and government and includes a
special collection on law and the social
sciences. The library also receives every
current legal periodical of general interest
printed in the English language.
About one-third of the total collection
is made up of works in the fields of foreign
and international law. The comprehensive
materials in foreign law include the codes,
treatises, decisions, and journals of all major
European countries and Japan and good
working collections in Latin-American law.
At an early date the library began to build a
complete collection in the law of nations,
going beyond the domestic laws of the separate
countries to emphasize the rules of law
controlling their relations with each other. This
large collection includes the documents of the
international organizations, the international
courts, treaty series, and official diplomatic
documents, treatises, and monographs and
periodicals from all parts of the world. The
collection permits original and useful work to
be carried on in the field of public and private
international law.
Holdings in other specialized fields include a
comprehensive collection of treatises,
periodicals, and documents in criminal law and
its administration, and a special collection of
materials in aeronautics, including aviation law,
commerce, and other works in the field,
exclusive of technical engineering publications.
In addition, the library includes outstanding
collections of medieval law, jurisprudence, legal
history, comparative law, and valuable
resources in Roman law. Especially notable are
the Williams Collection of Legal Instruments
dating from A.D. 1300 to 1700, which comprises
more than 500 original manuscript
12
instruments executed in connection with landed
estates, and the George W. Shaw Collection of
Early European Law, established in 1949 by
Joseph L Shaw (LLB., 1903) .
The Law School Library is independent in
administration and organization, but its
comprehensive resources are supplemented in
specialized areas through inter-library loans
and other cooperative arrangements with the
general University Library, departmental
libraries, and the major public, educational,
and legal collections in the region.
A special feature of the library is its
distinguished rare book collection, housed in
the handsome Hardy Scholars Treasure Room
adjoining the main reading room. These early
volumes, numbering some 2,500, have been
acquired through the years and represent a
variety of fields. Many are first editions of the
classics of the law, including a number of
manuscripts and incunabula (books printed
before 1500). A number are either unique or
the only copies in the Western Hemisphere.
The value of these books is not primarily
antiquarian, however. They have been
gathered and selected because they are
indispensable for effective legal research in
areas that may be vital both to scholars and
to practitioners.
Provision has also been made for the use of
the materials of legal research of the future.
A section of the library is fully fitted with the
basic equipment for use of microfilm and
microcards, designed to replace conventional
books and to ameliorate their problems of bulk
and deterioration.
As a practitioner of a learned profession, the
lawyer is more than a craftsman. To encourage
a wide-ranging interest among the students, a
section of the main reading room has been set
aside for casual reading in fields of current or
general significance. Comfortably furnished,
the Cutler Browsing Alcove offers current
periodicals and a broad selection of
biographical and miscellaneous works.
LIBRARY FUNDS
In addition to a general University
appropriation, the Law School Library is
supported by many annual gifts by alumni and
friends and by a number of special
endowments.
The largest endowment funds for the Library
are the Gary Endowment Fund, established in
1925 by Elbert H. Gary (LLB., 1867), then
Chairman of the United States Steel
�Corporation, and the Norris E. Crull
Endowment Fund, established in 1966 in
memory of Norris E. Crull (LL.B., 1909).
In 1947, under the auspices of the Law
Alumni Association, the John Henry Wigmore
Fund was established. Barnet Hodes (LL.B.,
1921) in 1960 established the Barnet Hodes
Fund for the creation and maintenance of a
collection on local government. In 1967,
Joseph Rosenberg (LL.B., 1910) and Mrs.
Rosenberg established the Judge Hugo M.
Friend Memorial Fund. The Philip A. Shapiro
Endowment Fund was established in 1968 in
memory of Judge Philip A. Shapiro (J.D.,
1932) of the Circuit Court of Cook County,
and Walter H . Moses established the Adolph
Moses Endowment Fund.
For a number of years Paul W. Cutler (J.D.,
1931 ) annually has provided funds to enrich
the collection in fields such as biography,
history, political science, and literature for the
Cutler Browsing Alcove. In addition,
Mr. Cutler provided funds in honor of
Professor James A. Rahl when he was dean
( 1972-77) for development of an especially
fine collection on the European Common
Market and on international business law.
In 1970 a substantial bequest of Louis
Manierre established the George Manierre
Collection, and a bequest of Cyrus H. Adams
increased the library's endowment fund.
In 1971, the library received a substantial
13
�bequest from the late Mrs. Agnes Millar
Wigmore, in memory of the late Professor
Robert Wyness Millar, a member of the Law
faculty, 1915-42, and professor emeritus,
1942-59. The income from this fund is used
for the purchase of books.
The Edwin E. Perkins Foundation provided
a major endowment in 1972 for the purchase
of books, materials, and equipment, known as
the Edwin E. and Kitty M. Perkins Library
Fund.
In 1974, under the will of Albert Kocourek,
a fund was established for the purchase of
books on jurisprudence. Professor Kocourek
was a member of the Law faculty, 1907-40,
and professor emeritus, 1940-52.
In 1975, a bequest of Walter W. Winget
provided a major endowment for the purchase
of books on real property, wills, and probate
law. Mr. Winget received his J.D. degree from
Northwestern in 1926 and practiced law for
many years in Peoria, Illinois.
OTHER SCHOOL FACILITIES
Although hours in the classroom and the
library predominate both for students and for
faculty, there must be provision for the
informal give-and-take discussion in which
student lawyers hone their skills in analysis and
expression, and for moments of relaxation.
Lowden Hall, named for the first of several
of the School's alumni to serve as governor of
Illinois, is the principal School lounge and is
rich with reminders of the history of law and
the Law School. Here coffee and rolls are
available to students and faculty during the
morning hours under the auspices of the
Junior Bar Association. On the lower level are
lockers, food and beverage dispensers, and two
rooms equipped with tables for a coffee break
or light luncheon.
Separate offices are provided for student
activities, including the Junior Bar Association,
the Northwestern University Law Review, the
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology,
the Julius H. Miner Moot Court Board and
certain student organizations.
Faculty offices which open directly onto
main corridors for access without formalities
or intermediaries foster frequent and fruitful
informal meetings between student and teacher.
STUDENT RESIDENCE
Living and working together, law students
gain advantages that are significant if not
readily apparent. Casual conversation and
earnest discussion contribute to the
development of the prospective lawyer's powers
and personality. The stimulation and discipline
students give one another have an impact that
is directly evident in the classroom.
The ancient ancestors of modern law
schools, the English Inns of Court, depended
solely upon the influences of students' living,
eating, and arguing informally together to
produce lawyers of professional qualification.
For the student who resides in Abbott Hall, the
Law School becomes the center of everyday
life. The library and the classrooms are
accessible, the distractions of commuting are
avoided, and the student can concentrate
time and attention on preparing for the practice
of law.
For these reasons, all law students, except
married students and those whose homes are
within easy commuting distance of the School,
Plan of a typical residential floor
in Abbott Hall
18
17
14
�are encouraged to live in Abbott Hall. It is
designed to provide convenient living quarters
and to provide an atmosphere for development
of personal qualities which are so essential to
a lawyer, but which for the most part fall
outside the sphere of formal training.
The building, 18 stories high, overlooks
Lake Michigan on Lake Shore Drive from
Huron to Superior Street. It is constructed of
Indiana limestone and conforms in
_architectural style to the classroom buildings on
the campus. The first two floors and the
basement contain common rooms for social
and recreational purposes; the upper 16
have private accommodations, with a lounge on
each of the upper floors. The first floor
contains general offices and a bookstore.
On the second floor are a large student lounge
and the dining rooms. Facilities for handball,
squash, weight lifting, exercise, billiards, and
table tennis are available in the basement.
Floors are reserved for the students of the
School of Law. Rooms are equipped
with desks, dressers, and beds with innerspring
mattresses. All rooms are provided with chairs,
draperies, and lamps. Bed linens are not
furnished . Each room has a double closet.
(Trunks are stored in the baggage room in the
basement.)
The cost of room and board in Abbott Hall
is reasonable and is usually below the rates
( charged for other desirable accommodations in
( the same part of the city. For the academic
year 1977-78, the room rates range from $565
to $790 per person per room. Before a room
is occupied, a contract for the academic year
is signed by the applicant.
Students may eat breakfast, lunch, and
dinner cafeteria style in Abbott Hall's spacious
dining rooms overlooking Lake Michigan. Hot
and cold foods are also available in the vending
canteen on the second floor. The cost of a
school year board contract is $835 for 12 meals
and $970 for 18 meals per week.
The Division of Student Finance issues the
residence bills for Abbott Hall. Rental bills
are issued for payments on October 1, January
1, and April 1. Bills are due upon presentation
and are payable at the Cashier's Office in
Abbott Hall.
Applications, together with a $50 room
deposit, should be filed as early as possible.
For room application, address the Manager,
Abbott Hall, 710 North Lake Shore Drive,
Chicago, Illinois 60611.
Abbott Hall also has a very limited number
of furnished apartments for married students.
Two types of accommodations are available:
efficiency (one room) apartments ranging from
$165 to $185 a month, including utilities; and
one-bedroom apartments ranging from $205 to
$235 a month, including utilities. Apartments
require a deposit of $100 to get on the waiting
list.
Rental apartments also are available in
private buildings in the vicinity of the Law
School or within easy commuting distance.
The Off-Campus Housing Office in Abbott
Hall provides listings for students who prefer
to live off campus.
STUDENT HEALTH
Entering students are required to present
records of recent physical examination.
The Student Health Service for all students
in schools on the Chicago campus is located
at 222 East Superior Street, room 334.
Available medical services and limited hospital
and surgical coverage are described in the
Student Health Bulletin which each student
receives upon initial registration. Supplemental
hospital insurance and surgical coverage,
necessary to provide more complete coverage
of hospital costs of students and their
dependents, is available at nominal rates.
The clinic is open daily, except Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays, from 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. Physicians' hours are posted on the
Student Health Service bulletin board. In an
emergency, a student may report to the nurse
in charge, room 334, during regular clinic
hours. Acute illness occurring outside those
hours should be reported to the Emergency
Room at Wesley Pavilion of Northwestern
Memorial Hospital.
Students are liable for the payment of
medical expenses incurred in the hospital
emergency rooms or the hospital out-patient
departments on unauthorized visits. An
unauthorized visit is one which has not had
the prior approval of the Health Service
excepting, of course, when circumstances of
time or physical condition make this
impracticable. Students are also liable for the
full payment of other medical expenses incurred
without prior approval of the Director of
Health Service. Specialty consultations beyond
those provided by the Health Service are
advised as indicated, but are the financial
responsibility of the students.

��"[Here the] teaching will .. . give men what
they want to know when they go out to fight,
but .. . it will send them forth with a pennon as
well as with a sword, to keep before their eyes in
the long battle the little flutter that means ideals,
honor, yes, even romance, in all the dull details."
- J ustice Oliver Wen dell H olmes,
at the dedication of earlier Law
Sch ool buildings, October 20,
1902.
THE COURSE OF INSTRUCTION
The purpose of the Law School is to prepare
its graduates for effective service in all fields of
law-to qualify men and women not only for
the private practice of the profession but also
for careers in government service, in commerce
and finance, and in legal education. The
curriculum does not concentrate upon
imparting knowledge of the legal rules
applicable in any one jurisdiction or region.
Rather, it concentrates upon the development
of the fundamental capacities and skills of the
lawyer.
Human activity is infinitely varied and everchanging. Law, bringing order and direction
to human relations, involves a continuous
process of growth and adjustment. Every legal
problem that comes to the lawyer is, in a
sense, unique. Effective professional education
must, therefore, prepare the student to deal
with situations never before encountered, to
direct the resources of the law to new fields
of human endeavor, and to handle not the
problems of the past but the cases of
the future.
INTELLECTUAL CHALLENGE
Reflecting this objective, the program of
instruction in the Law School differs markedly
from the usual undergraduate instruction. It
requires, of course, diligence and effort for a
mastery of the formal materials of the course.
Beyond this foundation, the instruction
demands of the individual student the thought
and initiative needed to extend learning beyond
the limits of the materials and to stretch powers
of analysis. As the lawyer must deal with new
situations throughout professional life, so the
student lawyer is taught to transcend rote
learning and to find his or her way in
unfamiliar contexts. The result is an
intellectual challenge that is both rewarding
and stimulating. The individual student is
spurred to go as far as mind and industry
will carry.
CLASSES
The law student typically attends classes for
15 or 16 hours a week. Class meetings
are scheduled throughout the morning and
afternoon Monday through Friday with time
for study between classes. There are occasional
special class meetings on Saturday, although
generally that day is available for uninterrupted
individual study and research. Two or three
times as many hours as are spent in class are
devoted to individual study. Time spent in
co-curricular activities and independent
research must be added to the requirements
of course work. The study of law, therefore,
is a full-time occupation.
In a typical Law School term, the student's
class attendance is distributed among four or
five courses. Some of the subjects represent
ancient categories of the law. Course titles
such as Criminal Law, Property, Contracts, and
Torts go back, as separate topics, to the days of
Lord Coke or Blackstone. But life has changed
since those early days in the law, and even
these traditional subjects have altered
substantially in content. Today in Torts, the
focus is on such disparate objects as the
automobile and the atom and upon the legal
problem each presents to an energized society.
Property law today concerns itself not only
with ancient learning but also with topics such
as urban renewal and air rights. Criminal Law
more and more is concerned with psychiatry,
with modern correctional theories, and with
protection of the fundamental rights of the
17
�accused. The law of Contracts today finds
itself dealing with and adjusting to the subject
matter of tomorrow-plastics, space projects,
the building of skyscrapers, and the hiring of
research and development skills.
The changing character of law is reflected in
the content of traditional courses, altered to
keep pace with a changing society. It is
reflected, too, in the newer courses introduced
by the Law School into the law curriculum to
deal with emerging areas of legal service. The
lawyer is a full-time student for only one period
in his or her professional life. Within the limits
of the possible, education in that brief span
must be for the responsibilities of the legal
profession, not just for the day, but for the half
century of lawyer's work that lies ahead.
Labor Law, Taxation, and Administrative Law
were introduced into the basic program of the
Law School during the formative years of those
subjects, anticipating the current recognition of
their significance. Courses and seminars in
International Law, Scientific Evidence,
Consumer Protection, Comparative Law, and
Welfare Litigation are typical of other offerings
designed to meet the needs of the profession
in the years to come.
FACULTY
The basic instruction in the Law School
program is conducted by the full-time resident
faculty, who make teaching their first
responsibility. Each member is experienced in
private practice, in responsible government
posts, or both. Many are called upon for
consultation and advice by government
agencies and private groups and are active in
the organizations .and affairs of the legal
profession and the community. Their scholarly
activities include the delivery of lectures and
addresses before legal and public bodies and
the preparation of learned treatises and articles.
Such activities serve to complement and to
enrich the instruction. The casebooks and
other teaching materials for a majority of the
courses offered in the School were prepared by
the faculty members who teach those courses,
and many are widely used, standard works in
their respective fields.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
In recognition of the lawyer's function of
articulating the conflicting interests of society,
instruction in modern law schools is conducted
principally through participation by the class.
18
No longer does the student lawyer listen
passively in a lecture audience. To maximize
the opportunity for active participation
afforded each student, Northwestern Law
School has adopted a curricular policy
emphasizing instruction through relatively
small classes and seminars. First-year courses
enrolling 175 students or more have no place
in the Law School program. The entering
student will attend classes approximately half
that size. Seminars are limited in enrollment
and commonly range in size from 10 to 15
students. Advanced individual work is
conducted under the personal supervision of
one or more members of the faculty.
Instruction of this kind requires a low
student-faculty ratio. The program of the
School is based upon the conviction that this
concentration of educational resources upon
the individual student is the most effective way
to develop the skills that distinguish the legal
profession.
The Case Method
The case method of teaching, employed
principally in the formal courses, particularly
those offered in the first year, is founded upon
the premise that the first objective of law
training is to develop an understanding on the
part of the student of how and why the courts
decide cases as they do. The method was
adopted at the Law School in the earliest years
of its development. The materials of study are
the actual decisions of courts, embodied in
written opinions rendered in real and disputed
cases, rather than a textbook compendium of
legal rules. The cases themselves are the
specimens of legal controversy to be examined
and dissected. The student is brought to the
level of a participant in the proceeding,
analyzing each stage in the course of litigation
and each step in the process of decision.
Through painstaking scrutiny of a large
number of cases, the student shares vicariously
the experiences of the lawyers and judges who
conducted them and thereby gains an
understanding of the judicial process based on
first-hand observation of the law in action.
Although the case method varies in its use
with the approach of the professor, the
teaching styles grouped under this heading have
certain characteristic elements in common.
Under the case system it is essential that
students prepare thoroughly and intensively
before class. The course materials for this
�preparation consist of a casebook, a collection
of actual decisions in related kinds of
controversy. The class session in a casetaught course typically does not offer a lecture
but rather a discussion of several of these cases,
conducted in the manner of a Socratic dialogue
between the teacher and students. Questions
are designed to test the student's understanding
of the case, to identify the considerations that
controlled the decision, and to probe its
implications for similar situations and its
relation to other decisions.
Although the professor may upon occasion
depart from the interrogating role to explain
the background of a legal problem or to give
direction to the class discussion, the essence of
the case method is the collective probing and
searc:hing in which the student's own powers of
reason and analysis are tempered and
developed. The system is in fact designed to
revert to the student, after he or she has
digested and evaluated the wide range of ideas
developed in group discussion, the task of
developing an understanding, first, of what
courts and administrative agencies do and why
they do it and, second, of how to participate
effectively in the process. From the outset of
a law school career the student is thus led to
do what one has to do throughout professional
life-think, analyze, and decide on one's own
initiative.
the lawyer in actual practice, and in fact they
are frequently drawn from life. Consultative
practice by some members of the faculty and
the generally close relationship between the
School and the practicing profession combine
to provide the student in a problem-method
course with an experience that closely
approximates the practice of law.
Characteristically, in a course taught by this
method, the student submits before the class
session a short memorandum solution to the
problem, based on his or her analysis of
relevant source material. In the class session,
the student or a classmate is invited to explain
the legal issues presented by the problem
situation and the views he or she takes of those
issues. Discussion, often vigorous, follows.
The Problem Method
The problem method, an instructional
technique originated at the Law School and
now widely employed throughout legal
education, is used in many second and
third-year courses. Here the emphasis is not
upon the cases or adminstrative decisions as
such. The focus of the student's work and of
the class session is rather a set of facts raising
legal problems for which there may indeed be
no authoritative solution. The student's task is
to take the available materials in the form of
decisions, statutes, and administrative rulings
and to construct or create a solution to the
problem.
Perhaps the problem is set at the stage where
the businessman asks for advice on a proposed
transaction. Or the transaction may already
have taken place, and the problem concerns
the consequences to be attached to the
transaction by the federal or state government
by way of taxation or regulation. In short, the
problems are much like those which come to
19
�Clinical Training and Practice Courses
Clinical training and practice courses
preserve in the Law School the advantages
which accrued to the aspiring attorney in an
earlier day when there were no law schools,
and the lawyer trained for the bar by working
in the office of an established lawyer, observing
the practice of law, and learning through trial
and error the arts and skills of the profession.
In 1910, Northwestern introduced to legal
education the idea of giving law students actual
experience in practice through the medium of
assisting in the provision of legal services to the
poor. This idea has been a part of the
curriculum since that time and is now
developed in clinical programs and courses
supervised by the faculty. In the Northwestern
Legal Assistance Clinic, located in Thorne
Hall, next door to the Law School, students
working under faculty supervision gain
practical experience in consulting with clients,
interviewing witnesses, and preparing pleadings
and other documents in a wide variety of cases,
both civil and criminal. Students also assist
the lawyers in the Clinic in the preparation for
and conduct of trials and, under the rules of
the Supreme Court of Illinois, qualified thirdyear students actually appear in court on
behalf of Clinic clients. The training is similar
in many respects to that provided during the
internship period in medical education.
During the first year, all students are
instructed in the techniques of oral and written
argument in the course in Moot Court.
Practicing the lawyer's skills, the student is
required to prepare a written brief in
compliance with prevailing professional
standards and to argue the case, opposed by
a fellow student, under courtroom conditions,
before an appellate court composed of alumni
and faculty members. This instruction is
continued on a voluntary basis in the second
year in the Julius H. Miner Moot Court
Competition.
In the third year, the student is offered a
choice of beginning and advanced trial practice
courses. The instruction provides the student
with actual experience in pre-trial preparation,
examining witnesses, presenting evidence, and
arguing to a jury. The student thus learns by
doing, not merely by precept, what the trial
lawyer must be able to do in court.
Much of the lawyer's practice is carried on
in the office, not in the courtroom. To prepare
its graduates for the work of counseling,
advising, and planning, the Law School offers
20
several courses in which the student is called
upon to solve client problems and draw the
legal instruments and documents which the
practicing attorney must be able to prepare.
Seminars
Seminars are offered in the second and third
years in a variety of fields. Here the student is
free to select subjects of special interest
and to explore new areas of the law. In a
group commonly numbering from 10 to 15,
with the guidance of a senior faculty member,
the student engages in intensive individual
work on some aspect of the general subject
embraced by the seminar. Many seminars cut
across traditional disciplinary boundaries and
include materials and participants from such
fields as economics, sociology, psychiatry, and
political science. Often the seminar student
writes a major paper and presents this product
of his or her own research and analysis for
the critical consideration of the seminar group.
Legal Writing Skills
Every student is offered the opportunity
during his or her Law School career to develop
writing skills. In the first year, each student is
required to take a course which provides
supervised experience in written communication
with particular reference to the field of law.
In the second and third years, further
experience is gained in supervised writing.
Before graduation each student is required to
complete one or more of the following:
• Editorial work meeting established standards
on the Northwestern University Law Review
or the Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology.
• Participation in the Julius H. Miner Moot
Court Competition during the second year
and in the National Moot Court Competition
as a member of a Law School team during
the third year.
• Participation in the Jessup International
Law Moot Court Competition.
• Participation in the Senior Research
Program.
• Enrollment in a seminar which requires
presentation of preliminary and revised
drafts which receive careful editorial
criticism prior to submission of the final
draft of the paper.
�Senior Research Program
The Senior Research Program in the third
year is an innovation by Northwestern
introduced in 1966-67. Under this program, a
student, with faculty approval, may elect to
devote as many as 12 credit-hours-close to
half of the third year-to advanced research
under the personal supervision of one or more
members of the faculty. During the second
year a student interested in this program may
choose a research subject with the assistance
and approval of a faculty member who is
interested in the same field and who will serve
as the student's supervisor. Because of the
flexibility of the curriculum, the student may
arrange a schedule to include Law School
courses and seminars which provide necessary
background for the proposed work. In the
third year the student meets at least weekly
with the faculty supervisor to discuss the
progress of the research. The final paper or
report must be approved by a faculty
committee.
The aim is not in itself to make a "specialist"
of the student, but rather to afford the
intellectual experience of exploring a subject to
its depths; of sharpening one's powers of
analysis, observation, and communication; and
of making a genuine contribution to research.
Depending upon the nature of the subject,
projects may require research in the law
library and may also draw upon other
resources, including other libraries in the
University and the community; other
departments of the University, where course or
seminar offerings related to the field of inquiry
may be taken; or the community itself, where
field research may be undertaken. The
program also permits, with careful advance
planning and approval, work in other parts of
the nation or the world. For example, different faculty-student teams have engaged in
research for periods of six months in several
African nations as a part of the Senior
Research Program.
Faculty participants in the program carry
a classroom teaching load which is lighter than
normal so that they may devote more time to
the research, discussion, and critique necessary
to take the inquiry well beyond the bounds of
traditional individual study projects or seminar
work. Indeed, in many cases, work in the
program grows into joint, cooperative
student-teacher research approaches, more
significant-not only in substance but also in
working relationship-than anything heretofore
possible in a law school setting. Many
books and articles have been published as
a result.
The challenges and rewards promised by the
Senior Research Program are many. As a
supplement to older techniques, the individual
learning and teaching offered by the program
provide significant further enrichment for
students willing and able to meet its demands
for initiative, self-discipline, and hard work.
The program is expected to serve, too, the
School's established goal of making increased
contributions on the frontiers of the law.
Most significant of all, perhaps, are the
opportunities for student and teacher to work
together in concrete ways toward the common
end of advancing the highest traditions of the
law as a learned profession and as a servant
of society.
THE THREE-YEAR CURRICULUM
In the last century, Northwestern, setting the
norm in legal education, was among the first of
the nation's law schools to require three years
of study for a degree in law. Beginning
students enter the Law School in September
and attend the two semesters of the regular
academic year for three years.
During the first year of law study, the
student follows a course designed to provide
an understanding of basic legal principles and
concepts and to give a solid grounding in the
fundamentals indispensable for all branches of
the profession. Here the student encounters the
grand divisions of private law- Property, Tort,
and Contract-as well as Constitutional Law
and Criminal Law. The course in Moot Court
meets in small groups ( 10-15 students) in
which the lawyer's basic tools and the firstyear student's individual problems in dealing
with them are under careful scrutiny.
Each entering student is assigned a
faculty member as adviser. This advisory
relationship is available in the first year to ease
the adjustment to the demands of law study.
Thereafter, the adviser becomes guide and
mentor as the student plans the work of his
or her last two years.
The wide range of electives offered by the
Law School in the second and third years
enables students who so wish to attain a degree
of concentration. Moreover, seminars often
provide opportunities for further exploration
of a field in a new context. For example,
questions of criminal procedure may be treated
in a paper written for the Civil Liberties
21

Robert W. Bennett at the Law School.
seminar, or the underpinnings of Constitutional
Law may be studied in a seminar on
Comparative Law or Jurisprudence. Perhaps
most significant, however, is the opportunity to
sample a wide variety of problems in the law
and to foster new interests thus discovered.
For those courses which have two sections, the
School's policy of scheduling the sections at
different times and often in different semesters
is intended to permit the students to select
virtually any combination of elective courses
in the last two years.
JOINT DEGREE PROGRAM IN LAW
AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
Northwestern University has pioneered in
research integrating the study of law and the
social sciences. The joint degree allows
students to earn the J.D. and a Ph.D. in one
of the social sciences in five years, including
four years of courses and a dissertation year.
The primary objective of this program is to
produce scholars who have the skills necessary
to do basic and applied research on legal
systems. To do such research successfully, it is
essential for the scholar to be fully qualified as
a professional, both in law and in social
science. The graduates of this program qualify
for admission to the Bar and are competent
to practice law. They are also fully trained
in both the theory and methods of social
science and experienced in field research on
legal systems.
22
The program admits up to five students per
year.
Applicants interested in this program may
write for further information to Mrs. Mae
Clair, Program in Law and the Social Sciences,
Northwestern University, 357 E. Chicago Ave.,
Chicago, Ill. 6061 I.
THE COMBINED J.D.-M.M. PROGRAM
A student may earn the Master of
Management (M .M .) and the Juris Doctor
(J.D.) degrees during a period of four years if
he or she enrolls in both the Graduate School
of Management and the School of Law as a
participant in the combined degree program.
If earned independently, these degrees would
require a total of five years of study. Under
the combined degree program, the J.D. degree
may be earned by taking a minimum of 75
semester-hours in the School of Law, an
additional 15 semester-hours of credit toward
this degree being given for work completed in
the Graduate School of Management.
Similarly, the M.M. may be earned by taking
18 course units of work, additional credit for
6 course units being given for work completed
in the School of Law. Joint credit is given,
however, only to those enrolled in the program.
The precise order in which work is taken
may be determined individually. A typical
program might be a full year of study in one
school and a full year of study in the other,
followed by combined study in both law and
�management during the third and fourth years.
Every participant, however, must complete one
academic year of study exclusively in each
school before enrolling for a program of
courses in both schools.
An applicant to the combined degree
program should apply separately to each of the
schools, following procedures prescribed by
each school. To qualify for the combined
program, an applicant must be admitted to both
schools. After admission, the applicant must
signify which school he or she wishes to attend
first.
A student already enrolled in one school may
apply for the combined program by seeking
admission to the other school during his or her
first year of study in either the School of
Management or the School of Law.
A student in the combined program may be
considered for financial assistance separately by
each school for the first year he or she is
enrolled in that school and by both schools
when taking courses in both schools.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Programs for the second and third years
must have the written approval of the student's
assigned faculty adviser. In their second year,
students may register for no more than one
seminar in any semester. In any semester
third-year students may register for no more
than two seminars requiring the writing of
substantial papers.
Regular attendance is required in all courses.
No student should enroll in any course without
the intention and capability of satisfying this
requirement. Failure to attend regularly may
cause reduction in grades, loss of credit for
courses, additional remedial work, denial of
residence credit, or other appropriate sanctions
at the discretion of the instructor or the Dean.
EXAMINATIONS
Regular examinations are given in all formal
courses. In accordance with the prevailing
practice in legal education, a single final
examination is usually given, without periodic
or mid-term tests, to permit comprehensive
treatment of the subject matter and to measure
the student's capacity to work with and master
a substantial body of material. Although
examinations provide the most important
source for determining the student's relative
achievement, consideration may also be given
to the written work done in connection with a
course and to the preparation of assignments
for recitation as reflected in classroom
discussion. In seminars, examinations are not
ordinarily given. Grades are based upon the
products of individual research and
participation in the seminar discussions.
With the permission of the Dean, students
who are eligible but who for good reason are
unable to take an examination may take the
next regularly scheduled examination in the
course, take the examination late, or, in unusual
cases, be given a special examination.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Specific graduation requirements and details
of the grading system are set forth in the
"Rules of Northwestern University School of
Law," published separately.
In general, to be recommended for the
degree of Juris Doctor, a student must complete
and earn credit in the 14 semester-hours of
the first semester; the remaining 12 semesterhours of required first-year courses; the course
in Legal Profession and at least 62 semesterhours of elective work; in not less than six or
more than seven semesters in residence. In
addition, before graduation, the students must
meet the writing requirement described above.
A new grading system applicable to students
enrolling for the first time in the fall of 1975
and thereafter, and for all students commencing
September 1977, bas been adopted. It provides
for letter grades A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, D
and F. After the first semester, in order to
remain in good standing and for graduation
purposes, a student's average must fall between
a C + and a C for credit-hours attempted
subsequent to the first semester.
In addition, before graduation, the students
must meet the writing requirement described
above.
The faculty may change the requirements for
graduation at any time. This responsibility,
however, is not exercised in a manner which
will place an undue burden upon an enrolled
student who has planned his or her program
on the basis of previously announced
requirements.
Instructors may establish one or more
prerequisites for enrollment in particular
courses and seminars in the second and third
years. Courses listed as concurrent requisites
may be courses taken previously or to be
taken concurrently.
23
�DEGREES
Degrees are conferred by the Trustees of
the University upon students who are
recommended by the faculty of the School of
Law. Before a student is recommended for a
degree, he or she must have satisfied the
faculty as to character, and the student must
have complied with the requirements for the
degree for which he or she is a candidate.
The first degree in law awarded by the
University is the Juris Doctor (J.D. ) . It is
conferred upon students who have satisfactorily
completed courses carrying 90 semester-hours
of credit in the School of Law, including the
required courses described under Graduation
Requirements. The work must be pursued
during a residence period of three academic
years or the equivalent. The last year must be
in residence at Northwestern University
School of Law, and in the case of students
transferring from another law school,
a minimum of 30 semester-hours of credit
must be earned at Northwestern.
When the faculty believes that the
candidate's record of scholarship merits special
recognition, the degree may be awarded cum
laude , magna cum laude, or summa cum laude.
Degrees conferred upon students who have
already obtained their first degrees in law are
described later in the information concerning
Graduate Study in Law.
COURSE LOAD
Courses totaling 16 credit-hours in any term,
in the opinion of the faculty, represent the
maximum amount of work which a good
student can do effectively under favorable
conditions. On the other hand, each student is
expected to register for not less than 14
credit-hours of work each term.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT
The seminars, the courses and the work in
the Northwestern Legal Assistance Clinic are
limited in enrollment. The School cannot
assure that all students wishing to enroll in a
particular seminar, course, or Clinic program
can be accommodated.
COURSE NUMBERING
Each Law School curricular offering is
assigned a seven- or eight-digit number as
follows:
24
01 - 320 - 74 Evidence
01 - 310-1 - 56 Civil Procedure I
(The Law School code within the University is
13; it is used to precede course numbers only
where necessary to distinguish Law School
c:ourses from offerings of other schools of the
University.)
The first two digits identify broad fields
of study, as follows:
01 Procedure and Practice
02 Criminal Law
03 Torts
04 Contracts and Contract Consequences
05 Property
06 Family Structure and Arrangements
07 Business Structure and Regulation
08 Taxation
09 Governmental Structure and
Function
10 Admiralty, International Law, and
Foreign Law
11 Social Issues
12 Jurisprudence, Legal Philosophy, and
Legal History
The next three ( or four) digits identify the
particular course. The first of these three
digits also identifies level and place in the
curriculum, as follows:
100 Required first-year course
200 Elective course open to first-year
students
300 Upperclass elective course without
prerequisites
400 Upperclass elective course with
prerequisite (s)
500 Seminar without prerequisites
600 Seminar with prerequisite(s)
700 Clinical course
800 Senior Research
900 (reserved)
Where a course is a part of a subject
sequence, as with Civil Procedure I and II,
the fourth digit identifies both that fact and the
course's placement within the sequence.

sponsorship. Others are offered as part of
established and continuing programs within the
School. The most notable of these continuing
programs are described below.

THE LINTHICUM FOUNDATION
PROGRAM
The Charles Clarence Linthicum Foundation
was established in the Law School in 1926 in
memory of Professor Linthicum, Class of 1882,
a member of the Law School faculty from 1902
to 1915, and one of the most eminent patent
lawyers of his day. The income of the fund is
devoted to the support of research, study, and
development of the law of trade, industry, and
commerce. From time to time prizes have been
awarded from these funds to distinguished
American and European authors for meritorious
books and essays. In recent years, the
Foundation has sponsored a number of
conferences with a significant focus on
interrelationships of law, economics, and
government. Among the particular subject areas
which have been considered are antitrust, labor
relations, general economic and industrial
organization, administrative regulation, land
use, and European Common Market
development.
Since 1948, projects sponsored by the
Linthicum Foundation have included among
their participants many distinguished scholars,
jurists, and public officials, including William
L. Cary, John Kenneth Galbraith, Arthur J.
Goldberg, Judge Paul R. Hays, Newton N.
Minow, Eugene V . Rostow, the late Adlai E.
Stevenson, Dennis Thompson, and W. Willard
Wirtz. The foundation also provides funds for
research grants to faculty members.

LEGAL ASSISTANCE CLINIC
The Law School provides outstanding
opportunity for clinical education and legal aid
and defeuder work in the Northwestern Legal
Assistance Clinic, established in 1969 with the
assistance of grants from the Council of Legal
Education for Professional Responsibility, Inc.,
the Field Foundation, the Legal Aid Bureau of
United Charities, and Chicago attorney Arnold
I. Shure, with subsequent grants also from the
Woods Charitable Fund, Inc. An extension of
the Legal Clinic Program which the Law
School initiated in 1910, the clinic provides
civil and criminal legal services to persons who
are patients of the Northwestern University
medical and dental clinics. It also serves other
individuals and organizations in Chicago. The
Legal Assistance Clinic has six staff attorneys.
During the school year from 60 to 70 students
work at the clinic either as volunteers or for
course credit.
Law students under the supervision of Legal
Assistance Clinic attorneys assist in the interviewing and counseling of clients, preparation
of pleadings and other legal documents, legal
research, interviewing witnesses, and preparing
for trial. First-year students chosen to work in
the clinic may complete their freshman Moot
Court by writing memoranda for clinic cases.
Third-year law students may enroll in the
clinical program for credit and may be certified
to practice in the Illinois state courts under the
Rules of the Supreme Court of Illinois.
COURSES FOR CRIMINAL LAWYERS
For many years, under the direction of
Professor Fred Inbau, the School of Law
annually has presented two outstanding courses
in t'le area of criminal law. In the summer of
197'7, the 32nd Short Course for Prosecuting
Attorneys and the 20th Short Course for
Defense Lawyers were held.
The program for prosecutors attracts
approximately 550 each year, and the course
for defense attorneys enrolls over 300. Most
of the states and many foreign countries are
represented at the sessions. Each program
runs a full week, offering instruction in the
trial and preparation of criminal cases. The
courses provide a forum for exchange of
information, discussion of significant developments in criminal law and procedure, and
consideration of new methods of scientific
investigation and proof.
The faculty for both short courses includes
prosecutors, defense attorneys, medical experts,
and other specialists from many areas of the
country.
CORPORATE COUNSEL INSTITUTE
Annually since 1962, Northwestern has
conducted the Corporate Counsel Institute in
cooperation with the American, Illinois, and
Chicago Bar Associations and the Illinois
Institute for Continuing Legal Education. The
two-day program reviews problems of current
importance to lawyers in corporate law departments and in private corporate practice. The
Institute regularly draws 400 to 500 lawyers
from throughout the United States.
Institute lecturers are distinguished private
practitioners and lawyers within corporate law
departments, government officials, law
professors, and other scholars in fields of
antitrust, labor relations, securities regulation,
taxation, and other areas of corporate law
practice. Proceedings of the Institute are
published.
Students in the Law School are invited to
attend the Institute without charge. Many of
the papers presented are published in the
Northwestern University Law Review and
other law journals.
LABOR POLICIES STUDY GROUP
In recognition of the importance of labor
relations in both the public and private sectors
of economic and political life, a Labor Policies
Study Group has been formed at Northwestern.
The group is interdisciplinary, with members
from several schools and departments, including
the Law School. The Group provides a
mechanism within the University to coordinate
research and teaching, and to promote
interdisciplinary analysis of labor policy
problems. Those desiring information or
wishing to discuss opportunities for graduate
study may write to: Labor Policies Study
Group, Northwestern University, 2003 Sheridan
Road, Evanston, Illinois 60201.

��In the fall of 1859, the Dean rescheduled classes
and arranged for the students to observe a federal
court case being tried in the Law School building
by several outstanding lawyers of the day,
including Abraham Lincoln.

Class of 1860.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
A well-seasoned aphorism, familiar to law
students everywhere, says law students receive
their education from their classmates. Like
many an old saw, the observation contains
within its exaggeration a kernel of truth. Law
school instruction is built upon student
participation. Beyond the classroom the
student continues professional preparation
in give-and-take discussion, corridor debate,
and friendly argument with colleagues. The
vitality of the Law School is measured by the
quality and vigor of its student body.
At Northwestern the entering student
becomes a member of a closely knit community
of men and women, bound together by a
common pursuit and by the rich traditions of
the Law School's history. The student body is
comparatively small, averaging approximately
550 students. The modest size of the School
and its instructional policies-division of most
courses into two or more sections and the wide
range of electives offered after the first yearpromote wide acquaintance among students.
The beginner is carefully chosen through a
policy of selective admission designed to assure _
that every member of the class is capable of
legal study at the highest and most challenging
level. The student's classmates are high-ranking
graduates of the leading colleges and
universities in the United States and abroad.
Students benefit from friendly relationships
with fellow students coming from a wide
variety of backgrounds. The typical student
body consists of men and women from 40
states and eight or ten foreign countries. One
hundred and sixty colleges and
universities are represented by graduates
enrolled in the Law School (see listing at the
back of the bulletin). A variety of
undergraduate majors are included, and many
students have earned graduate degrees in other
fields before entering the Law School.
Law students tend to be individualistic and
venturesome, and a broad range of opinion
and experience is encompassed in the student
body. The stimulating contacts of student life
at the Law School combine to develop a
mature, tolerant, and broadened outlook in the
individual student. A healthy spirit of
competition, helpful in encouraging each
student to strive for excellence, complements
the kind of comradeship and mutual respect so
characteristic of the legal profession generally.
LEGAL PUBLICATIONS
The tradition in the legal world of accepting
as authoritative professional journals written,
edited, and published by men and women who
have not yet achieved full professional status is
unique. Students at Northwestern are fortunate ·
to have two regularly published scholarly
journals available for student research, writing,
and editing: the Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology and the Northwestern University
Law Review. Selection for membership on
a publication is at once a high honor, a great
responsibility, and a tremendous opportunity.
Although there are many advantages, the true
value of membership on a legal publication
lies in the sharpening of legal research,
writing, and editing skills which are so
essential to the effective practice of law.
Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology
A quarterly publication with worldwide
circulation, the Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology is universally recognized as the
foremost publication of its kind. It is the only
49
�student-edited law review published in the
United States which focuses on criminal law
and criminology and is one of the few such
professional publications in the world. Founded
by the late Dean John Henry Wigmore in 1909,
the Journal has the second largest paid
circulation among law reviews.
While the Journal focuses on the field of
criminal law, its research reaches into other
areas, from constitutional implications of
various aspects of the criminal codes to the
impact of procedural and evidentiary rules on
the administration of criminal justice. Members
of the staff are thus exposed to analysis and
writing in all fields of the law.
After completion of their first year, a
number of students are invited by the editorial
board of the Journal to join the staff. Some are
selected on the basis of outstanding scholastic
performance, and an additional group is
chosen on the basis of writing ability
demonstrated through participation in the
writing competition held during the second
year. Those staff members who satisfactorily
complete their duties are eligible for election
to the editorial board.
The editorial board holds complete
responsibility for the solicitation, selection and
editing of scholarly articles in the fields of
criminal Jaw and criminology submitted for
publication by judges, practicing attorneys,
professors and other legal scholars. In addition,
the staff prepares and edits publishable student
material.
Each staff member is given the opportunity
to write and publish both a comment on an
important area of criminal Jaw and a case note
on a recent Supreme Court decision. The case
note is published in the December issue, the
Supreme Court Review, thus giving a student
the unusual opportunity to be published early
in his or her law school career.
Northwestern University Law Review
One of the most rewarding student activities
at the Law School is the publication of the
Northwestern University Law Review, one of
the nation's leading professional journals. The
Law Review is circulated widely among
lawyers and judges and is often cited in briefs
and judicial opinions.
A law journal entitled the Northwestern Law
Review was first established by students of the
School during the academic year 1892-93,
within five years of the appearance of the first
50
student journal in the nation. Publication was
continued in 1906, after a ten-year suspension,
under the title Illinois Law Review.
For a period beginning in 1924, editorship
was shared with the law schools of the
University of Chicago and the University of
Illinois. In 1932, Northwestern students
resumed full control, and in 1952 the name was
changed to Northwestern University Law
Review.
At the end of the first year, outstanding
students are invited to write commentary on
legal problems for publication and to carry on
the research, editing, and related work of the
Law Review. Members of the staff are selected
on the basis of scholastic standing and the
results of a writing competition. Selection is
one of the highest honors and greatest
responsibilities the Law School can bestow.
Law Review participation is hard work: it
requires the members to return several weeks
before school begins in the fall and demands a
major portion of their time during the academic
year. Participation on the Law Review is both
a demanding and a constructive experience.
JULIUS H. MINER MOOT COURT
COMPETITION
To provide continuing practice and
instruction in the arts of appellate advocacy,
the Arlyn Miner First-Year Moot Court
Program is supplemented by the Julius H.
Miner Moot Court Competition for secondyear students. The program memorializes the
late U.S. District Judge Julius H. Miner,
Graduate Law '45, and is supported by an
endowment established by Mrs. Julius H. Miner
and family and friends. The program is
administered, under faculty supervision, by
third-year students comprising the Moot Court
Board and involves the preparation of appelate
court briefs and the presentation of oral
arguments before panels of judges and
practicing attorneys. The cases typically raise
issues of current legal importance, more
complex and challenging than those assigned in
the regular first-year course. The final
argument is conducted before the entire student
body, customarily with a panel of distinguished
judges from the federal and state court bench.
Those who have served as presiding judges for
final arguments include former Justice Arthur
J. Goldberg '30, and Justices Tom C. Clark,
Thurgood Marshall, Potter Stewart, Byron R.
�White, and William H. Rehnquist of the
Supreme Court of the United States and Chief
Judge Thomas Fairchild of the Seventh Circuit
Court of Appeals. The Law School teams in
the National Moot Court Competition are
chosen on the basis of performance in the
Miner Competition.
ARLYN MINER FIRST-YEAR MOOT
COURT PROGRAM
The briefing and oral argument program of
the first-year Moot Court course is known as
the "Arlyn Miner First-Year Moot Court
Program," in memory of a daughter of Mrs.
Julius H. Miner and the late Judge Miner.
Arlyn Miner was especially interested in
encouraging oral argument in appellate cases.
An endowment, provided by Mrs. Miner, her
son Judson and daughter-in-law Linda Miner,
and her daughter Leslie Miner, supports the
costs of administering the program. It is hoped
that this special recognition of first-year Moot
Court work will stimulate students to continue
in the Advanced Julius H. Miner Moot Court
Competition in the second year.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT:
THE JUNIOR BAR ASSOCIATION
All students are members of the Junior Bar
Association and through it contribute to the
educational and recreational programs of the
Law School. JBA committees are responsible
for many activities, including the orientation
program for new students, and the allocation
of student parking spaces. Students are able
to serve on faculty committees by
recommendation of the JBA.
Outstanding lawyers, judges and political
figures are frequent visitors to the School as
part of the J BA Speakers Program, often
meeting with students at coffee hours following
their speeches. The JBA placement committee
plans programs which introduce students to the
various opportunities available in the legal
profession.
The JBA sponsors social and recreational
programs throughout the academic year. Social
activities are planned to reflect the interest of
the student body. One of the most successful
programs has been the Friday afternoon social
hours, where students meet informally with
faculty and other members of the bar.

Court arguments at the Law School.
HONOR CODE
An important product of the Law School's
philosophy of student responsibility is the
Honor Code and the broad authority granted
to the students, through the Junior Bar
Association, for its enforcement and
implementation. The basic tenet of the Honor
Code is that the law student, like the lawyer,
should be subject to unyielding standards of
Sl
�honorable conduct. In reliance upon the
students' collective sense of responsibility, Law
School examinations are unmonitored and
unsupervised by faculty, staff, or proctors.
The Honor Code imposes a strict obligation
upon each student to report any apparent
infractions to the students constituting the
Judicial Council of the Association. After a
full hearing, the Council has the duty to make
findings and to recommend appropriate
disciplinary action to the faculty.
The Code covers all academic phases of Law
School activity. It is expected that the habits
fostered by this honor system will stand the
young lawyer in good stead before the bench
and bar.
THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
The Women's Caucus, an association of
women in the Law School, provides a forum
for discussion of the concerns of women
seeking a legal education and women employed
within the legal profession. Members also
participate in national conferences, regional
meetings, and local organizations concerned
with women's issues.
The Caucus has been active in encouraging
appointment ot women to the faculty, the
placement of women graduates, and programs
to encourage women's applications to the
School. The Extended Study Program, which
permits a small number of students to carry a
lighter load, was recommended by the
Women's Caucus and adopted by the faculty.
Periodic meetings of the Caucus focus on
issues of special interest to women, and guest
lecturers discuss topics of general interest to
the Law School community.
BLACK LAW STUDENTS
ASSOCIATION
The Black Law Students Association serves
as a forum tor the discussion of matters
concerning black students within the Law
School. BLSA promotes the discussion of legal
issues relevant to blacks and, whenever
possible, provides assistance and answers to
such issues. Occasionally BLSA will publicly
express its position on events which
significantly affect the black community.
BLSA objectives include increasing the number
of black attorneys in the United States by
encouraging interested blacks to pursue a legal
52
education, gaining greater minority
representation on the faculty and throughout
the University, and helping the local black
community. BLSA cooperates with chapters at
other Chicago law schools to achieve common
objectives.
INTERNATIONAL LAW SOCIETY
The International Law Society seeks to
maintain an awareness in the Law School
community of the various facets of
international law. In furtherance of this
purpose, the Society hosts the Midwest regional
round of the Phillip C. Jessup International
Law Moot Court Competition, sponsors a
speaker series on such topics as the general
practice of an international lawyer, international
terrorism, and foreign taxation, and prepares a
directory of career opportunities in
international law.
LA ALIANZA
LA ALIA NZA is composed of the Iatino law
students at Northwestern. Because of the
various origins of the Iatinos at Northwestern,
LA ALIANZA is an experiment in the unifying
of distinct geographic and cultural latino
groups. Few law school campuses have such a
varied latino community which includes
Chicanos, Cubanos, Puertorriquenos and a
South American.
Founded in the school year 1975-76, LA
ALIANZA has experienced rapid growth and
visibility in the student political processes as
well as contributing to the social environment
of the law school. For two consecutive years
latinos have been active on the executive board
of the Junior Bar Association.
The main purpose of LA ALIANZA is to
insure the academic success of the latino law
student while providing a forum for cultural,
political and legal awareness. The 1977-78
school year will witness an expansion of LA
ALIANZA's programs.
RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS
Each year a number of second- and thirdyear students are selected to serve as Research
Assistants to individual members of the faculty.
These appointments carry a modest stipend and
are valued for the opportunities they afford for
close contact with faculty members and for
participation in the ongoing scholarly work
and publications of the faculty.
�"Mr. Hoyne says that he has confidence that the
School will commence with 50 students. The
tuition fees are to be $100 per year."
-L,tter from Henry Booth, first
dean ot the Law School, to his
wife, d4ted June JO, 1859.
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL
Each year the Law School receives many
hundreds of applications for admission from
every state in the United States and from
abroad. In recent years there have been 14 or
more applicants for each place in the entering
class.
The admission policies of the School of Law
are based on consideration of the whole person
and each application is considered by the
Admissions Committee. It seeks to individualize
the admissions process and weighs a wide
variety of factors from which individual
decisions can be made. Among these factors
are demonstrated scholarship, intellectual
capacity and qualities of character requisite to
the profession.
Since its early years the Law School has
followed this policy of selective admission to
preserve its character as a cohesive academic
community of moderate size and to assure
continued educational standards of the highest
order. Consequently, the School is unable to
accept many applicants who are capable of
successfully completing legal studies and
qualifying for the practice of law.
Further, Northwestern University does not
discriminate against any individual on the basis
of race, color, sex, religion or national origin
in matters of admissions, employment, housing
or services or in the educational programs or
activities which it operates.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Application forms and information
concerning admission requirements may be
obtained by writing to the Office of Admissions,
Northwestern University School of Law, 357
East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
Students are admitted for classes beginning
in September only, and must have a bachelor's
degree from an accredited college or university
at the time of initial registration in the School
of Law
Application to the Law School is accomplished by filing an application form with
the Law School and by registering with the
Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS)
of the Educational Testing Service, Box 944,
Princeton, N.J. 08540. The LSDAS form must
be requested from the Educational Testing
Service and returned directly to ETS, not to
the Law School.
The student's LSDAS registration must be
supplemented by a transcript sent directly to
LSDAS, not to the Law School, for each
college and university attended, regardless of
the number of hours of credit received.
( Exceptions to this requirement are noted in
the LSDAS registration manual.) Except
in unusual cases, transcripts should not be
supplied until they include a record of three
full academic years, or the equivalent. If the
application is approved, the applicant must
supply a final transcript certifying the award
of a bachelor's degree directly to the Law
School. The LSDAS registration must also be
supported by a report of the applicant's score
on the Law School Admission Test.
Northwestern University School of Law
joined with several other schools in sponsoring
the development of this test, designed to
measure the student's general aptitude for the
study of law. Information on how to arrange
to take the test, administered by the Educational Testing Service, is supplied with
registration material for the test, which may
be obtained directly from the Educational
Testing Service, Box 944, Princeton, N.J.
08540. The test may be taken either before or
after the Law School application form and
LSDAS registration form are filed. An applicant for admission should ordinarily plan to
53
�take the test as early as July and no later than
December preceding the year in which admission to law school is sought. When the scores
are available, they will automatically be added
to the LSDAS file for the applicant.
LSDAS will provide Northwestern
University School of Law, as well as other law
schools to which the applicant wishes to seek
admission, with an analysis of the transcripts
and a report of the Law School Admission Test
score. A fee for this service is paid by the
applicant directly to the Educational Testing
Service. The full details of the Law School
Data Assembly Service accompany the
registration form.
An applicant must also submit, directly to
the Law School, on forms furnished by
Northwestern, recommendations from at least
two individuals, preferably college or university
instructors. Each application submitted to the
Law School must also be accompanied by a
non-refundable application fee of $25.
VISITS TO THE SCHOOL
The School is happy to have visits by
prospective students. An applicant does not
appear for a personal interview as part of the
admissions decision process, however, unless
invited by the Committee on Admissions. Since
all admissions decisions are made by a faculty
committee, an evaluative interview with the
Assistant Dean in charge of admissions would
not serve to communicate the special
circumstances of an applicant to all those who
may consider the case. An applicant who
wishes to supply special information should
submit a written statement.
Conferences will be held with students
interested in additional information about the
Law School or about the admission process.
These informational interviews should be by
appointment, arranged in advance by mail or
telephone.
WHEN TO APPLY
When possible, applications should be
submitted and supporting documents forwarded
before January 1, 1978. Applicants who follow
this procedure can expect to be informed of the
action of the Committee on Admissions by
March 1. All applications and supporting
documents should be submitted by March 1,
1978. Any application completed after that
date or any application which is lacking
supporting documents on that date may, in
54
the discretion of the Committee on Admissions,
be rejected for that reason.
Applicants for financial assistance must
complete their applications by February 1.
( See section on Financial Assistance.)
Applications are considered and acted upon
after all supporting information has been
received. Determinations are made upon a
balanced evaluation of the applicant's college
record, the Law School Admission Test score,
the required recommendations, and other
submitted information bearing on the
applicant's capacity and qualification for law
study. Each application is considered carefully
and individually. The trend of undergraduate
achievement, performance in particular fields
and courses, and the demands and influence of
other activities and personal circumstances are
weighed and taken into account.
Each applicant who is accepted for
admission, whether or not he or she has been
awarded financial assistance, is required to
make a deposit of $100 no earlier than April 1
of the year of entrance. Upon registration the
deposit is applied toward tuition and fees.
No applicant previously enrolled in another
law school is admitted either as a beginning
student or as a transfer student if he or she is
ineligible to continue study at that school.
TRANSFER
The admission of a student previously
enrolled in another law school who wishes to
become a candidate for the degree of Juris
Doctor from Northwestern depends upon the
applicant's achievements in law study and upon
the factors which control the admission of
beginning students. Generally stated, the
standard requires a highly creditable law
school record.
Transfer applicants should submit the
standard application form following the instructions contained therein with the $25 application
fee, transcripts from each college and university
attended, including the law school from which
transfer is contemplated, and two
recommendations frotp former instructors, at
least one of which is a law school instructor.
In addition the applicant must have
furnished an official copy of the Law School
Admission Test score, a statement of law
school class standing (or other basis for
interpreting law school record), and a
statement of eligibility to continue in his or her
present law school.
�Since the record of all law school work
completed must be submitted before a transfer
decision can be made, such decisions are not
usually made until late summer.
The granting of credit for courses completed
in other schools and the allowance of advanced
standing rest within the discretion of the Dean
of the School. In no event is transfer credit
given for law school work in schools which are
not members of the Association of American
Law Schools or for courses in which the
student received a grade below C or its
equivalent.

which cannot always be met by the granting of
financial aid, the Law School has instituted an
Extended Study Program which allows
participants to take four years to complete the
normal three-year course of legal study.
A maximum of five Extended Study
Program students are admitted to each
first-year class. The program is open to
applicants of exceptional ability who have
special family obligations, such as the care of
preschool children or unusually heavy financial
commitments, which cannot be met by
customary financial aid.
Participating students are required to register
for at least ten hours of course work each
semester. In order to complete the program
within four calendar years, students may either
take more than ten hours in some semesters
or attend summer school, or both.
Although the program is designed primarily
for women with children, applications are
accepted from men who find themselves in a
situation analagous to that of a woman who
would be eligible for the program.
PRE-LEGAL STUDY
A bachelor's degree from an accredited
college or university is required for enrollment
in the Law School, but no specific fields of
major study or particular courses are
prescribed. The purpose of the requirement is
to provide the prospective lawyer with a sound
liberal education for the discharge of his or her
broader professional responsibilities and to
provide a foundation for law school training.
Since the reach of the law's concerns may be
as wide as the range of human behavior, no
particular course of undergraduate study is
viewed as conferring a special advantage in
the law.
College curricula vary, the content of
courses bearing the same title may be
dissimilar, and teaching attitudes and emphases
differ. Accordingly, suggestions must be
general. Courses in such fields as history,
economics, anthropology, sociology,
government, and political science may help the
student to understand the structure of society
and the problems of social ordering with which
the law is concerned. Studies in philosophy
and literature may impart a familiarity with the
traditions of thought that have influenced legal
developments. The examination of human
behavior in courses in psychology and its
analysis through statistical method may also
prove worthwhile.
In developing the skills of a lawyer, the
college student should pursue studies that
enhance the power to express oneself with
clarity and force. English, foreign language
courses, and public speaking are recommended,
as well as other courses in which written work
of high quality is demanded. For the systematic ordering of abstractions and ideas, the
physical, natural, and mathematical sciences,
in addition to logic, are suggested.
Apart from subject matter, the student
preparing for the study of law should take
courses of sufficient difficulty to assist in the
development of the rigorous intellectual
discipline essential to success in law school.
He or she would be well-advised, in addition,
to. pursue study in some definite field far
enough to attain a mastery of the subject. The
typical student who follows his or her own
interests and tastes is more likely to extend
himself or herself and thereby to increase
capacities for law study.
It is perhaps advisable, however, for the
prospective law student to avoid undergraduate
courses in law designed to prepare one for
other callings and duplicating law school work.
Ordinarily, the time and effort are better spent
in studies in other fields.
In general, the undergraduate college student
is best advised not to try to prepare particularly
and narrowly for law school studies, but to
prepare for life as a lawyer by obtaining the
best available general education. He or she
will find that what is best for law school is also
the best in liberal education-a course of study
that develops in the student the capacity for
understanding, for independent thought, and
for effective self-expression.

��TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
The cost of a year of law study varies with
the needs, habits, and circumstances of the
student. As a base from which individual
estimates may be drawn, the sum of $7,200
approximates the minimum total expense for
the academic year of the average unmarried
student residing in Abbott Hall, the Law
School dormitory. Of this total, about $4,500
is required for tuition, fees, books, and
supplies. The remainder represents the typical
expenditure for room, board, and personal
needs .
TUITION
The student's total investment in legal
education, although large in absolute terms,
is insubstantial in comparison with its total
returns in the decades of later professional life.
Short-term economies often prove wasteful in
the long run. In the interests of its students,
the Law School has made every effort to hold
down the costs, but in the same interests, it has
refused to sacrifice any of the elements of a
legal education of the highest quality. The cost
of each student's education is only partly
covered by his or her tuition payments. A
substantial portion is paid from income from
endowments and from annual gifts of alumni
and friends of Northwestern.

Science (S.J.D.) and students who have
received their Bachelor of Laws or Juris Doctor
degrees or their equivalents and are in their

pending their acceptance as candidates for a
graduate degree are classified as graduate
students. All other students are unclassified
students.
Candidates for the SJ .D. and LL.M. degrees
who have done full-time graduate work at this
University for two semesters are charged the
Resident in Research fee unless they take
courses or seminars. They are then charged at
the rate of $235 per credit-hour.

Multilith Fee
In many courses it is necessary to supply
multilithed materials to supplement assigned
casebooks. A flat charge of $15 each semester
for J .D. candidates helps to defray the cost of
duplicating such supplementary materials. In
instances where the teaching materials used in
a course consist entirely or mainly of
multilithed materials prepared by the instructor,
an additional charge may be made.

Stevens' appointment to the United States Supreme Court.
Advance Deposit
An advance deposit of $100 is reqmred ot
all applicants accepted tor admission, including
those granted financial assistance. This deposit
is applied as part payment of tuition and fees
but is not refundable.
PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
Tuition and fees are billed and paid by
semester, rather than for the full academic
year. Payments are due at the beginning of
the term upon the date specified in the
statement sent to each student after registration.
The Cashier's Office, conveniently located on
the first floor of Abbott Hall, receives these
payments.
The Division of Student Finance, on the
first floor of Abbott Hall, issues the statements
and makes all adjustments.
Although the University collects charges as
stated above, parents can make arrangements to
pay on a monthly basis through the Insured
Tuition Payment Plan, which must be done far
in advance of enrollment. This organization
offers both prepayment and extended payment
programs and protects the student's educational
plans with life and disability insurance on the
parent.
WITHDRAWAL AND REFUNDS
Official withdrawal forms are available
from the Registrar of the School of Law.
Students who withdraw before the end of
one-fourth of the term are liable for one-fourth
58
of the tuition for the term. Students who
withdraw after the first one-fourth of the term
and before the middle of the term are held for
one-half of the tuition for the term. Students
who withdraw after the middle of the term are
held for full tuition. Regardless of the time of
withdrawal, students are liable for all fees. In
the case of exclusion for nonpayment of
tuition, the same charges are made in
accordance with the above schedule. In all
cases, either the date on which the student
withdrew from classes and filed a written
withdrawal notice with the Registrar of the
Law School or the date of formal exclusion
is used in figuring any adjustment on tuition.
REBATES
Information about rebates for full-time
faculty and staff, their spouses, their dependent
sons and daughters, and employees of
Northwestern-affiliated institutions may be
obtained at the Student Finance Office,
Abbott Hall. Applications must be filed
with that office before the student's first
registration each school year.
STUDENT DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
The University maintains a student deposit
account at the Cashier's Office, Abbott Hall, as
an accommodation to students. There is no
charge for this service, and no interest is paid
on deposits. Personal bank checks in amounts
not exceeding $50 may be cashed at the
Cashier's Office by students who present their
University ID cards.
�FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Tile Law School is committed to providing
all possible assistance to law students so that
they may reach their educational goals. However, scholarship and loan funds available for
this purpose are quite limited, and not all
students who demonstrate financial need can
be given financial assistance.
Each application for financial assistance is
considered individually and each award is
determined after an appraisal of the student's
monetary needs. The application is considered
for awards of scholarship grants and repayable
grants. The committee expects that each
applicant will obtain as much financial
assistance from other sources as is possible.
Some scholarships, described below, are
available for students with exceptional ability
and attainments.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
The Law School is a participant in the
Graduate and Professional School Financial
Aid Service (GAPSFAS). All applicants for
financial aid must file a GAPSFAS form
entitled "Application for Financial Aid for
the Academic Year 1978-79." The GAPSFAS
application may be obtained from the financial
aid officer at the institution the applicant is
currently attending or from the Graduate and
Professional School Financial Aid Service,
Box 2614, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.
The application should be filed no later than
January 1 in order to assure its receipt at the
school by February 1. The application contains
sections to be completed by the applicant, by
the spouse or prospective spouse, and the
applicant's parents. An applicant must complete all three sections to be considered for
aid at the Law School.
An application for financial aid will be
considered after an applicant has been accepted
for admission. The admission decision will not
be affected by a request for financial assistance.

��GRADUATE STUDY AND DEGREES
The graduate program of the Law School has
several objectives. One purpose is to offer to
recent law graduates who have demonstrated
superior proficiency in the study of law as well
as to active practitioners, an opportunity not
only to broaden their legal knowledge but also
to study and engage in research in particular
fields of interest. The School also desires to
make its facilities available to law teachers and
prospective law teachers interested in advanced
study and original research and writing under
faculty guidance. In addition, the program is
intended to provide outstanding graduates of
foreign law schools with an opportunity to
expand their knowledge of American legal
processes and to engage in comparative legal
research.
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY
AND TO CANDIDACY FOR
ADVANCED DEGREES
The admission of students who have been
awarded a first degree in law to graduate study
or to candidacy for the degree of Master of
Laws or Doctor of Juridical Science is at the
discretion of the Committee on Graduate
Studies.
Experience indicates that foreign students
whose native language is not English have great
difficulty in meeting the requirements unless
they have a good command of written and
spoken English.
Application forms and additional
information may be secured by writing to the
Committee on Graduate Studies, Northwestern
University School of Law, 357 East Chicago
Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
DEGREES
Two graduate degrees are granted: the
degree of Master of Laws (LL.M.) and the
degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.).
Master of Laws (LL.M.). The degree of
Master of Laws is conferred upon students who
have obtained a first degree in law from this
University or another having equivalent
requirements; in unusual cases, this
requirement may be waived by a vote of the
faculty. Also, such students must fulfill the
following requirements:
I. The completion of one academic year
of residence in this School, during which time
credit must be obtained for not less than 10
semester-hours in courses or seminars not
previously counted toward the first degree in
law. Students who have not previously taken,
for their first degree in law, a course or seminar
in the general field of jurisprudence must
include such work in their program.
Each graduate student's course program is
individually planned in relation to the
student's choice of a thesis topic. To the
extent necessary to establish a background for
the research, the Graduate Committee may at
its discretion require a graduate student to take
course and seminar work in addition to the
minimum prescribed above. During their year
of residence, graduate students are required to
maintain a superior scholarship record.
2. The completion of a thorough study of
some approved legal topic and the presentation
of a paper embodying its results. The
candidate's thesis must be suitable for
publication in the Northwestern University
Law Review or the Journal of Criminal Law
and Criminology.
3. The passing of an oral examination to
be prescribed by the faculty.
Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.). The
degree of Doctor of Juridical Science is
conferred upon students who have obtained the
degree of Juris Doctor from this or some other
university or college having equivalent
requirements for that degree or who have
obtained the degree of Bachelor of Laws from
another university or college whose
requirements for that degree are equivalent to
those prescribed by this School for the degree
of Juris Doctor and who have fulfilled the
following requirements:
1. The completion of one academic year of
residence in this School. The time required for
the completion of a candidate's work, however,
normally runs far beyond the period of
residence required.
65
�2. The completion of a study to be
approved by the faculty or its designated
committee. This study shall be one involving
original research and must be completed in
such manner, both as to subject matter and
literary form, as to be, in the opinion of the
faculty, a significant and scholarly contribution
to legal science.
3. The completion of such other work, if
any, as may be directed by the Dean in the
particular case.
4. The passing of an oral examination to
be prescribed by the faculty.
Faculty policy restricts this degree to
candidates who have had substantial experience
either in practicing or teaching law and who,
through published writings, have evidenced
their capacity for advanced graduate work.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
Full information concerning tuition and fees
for graduate study appears on preceding pages.
The expenses of an unmarried student for
the academic year, including books, board and
room, and incidentals (but excluding tuition
and fees) should be estimated at a minimum
of $3,500.
Accommodations for both married and
unmarried graduate students are available on
the University's Chicago campus.
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS
Two James Nelson Raymond International
Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis
to foreign applicants interested in•any field of
legal study, including international legal
studies. Each fellowship presently provides for
the payment of tuition plus $3,500 for books
and living expenses.
The Anna L. and James Nelson Raymond
Fellowship in a similar amount is awarded on a
competitive basis to a United States applicant.
The fellowships provide for payment of
tuition and fees. The balance of $3,500 is
paid to the student in 10 installments, the first
on September 1.
Normally, fellowships are not awarded to
foreign students who already have spent a year
in this country in graduate study. The
fellowships are granted for one year only, and
are not renewable.
Fellowships do not provide for travel
expenses. A student must make individual
travel arrangements. A successful fellowship
applicant should also bring sufficient funds for
personal expenses from the time of arrival until
September 1.

THE SCHOOL AND ITS ALUMNI
The associations formed in the years of study
at the Law School are lifelong. The School,
through its Placement Service, offers assistance
to the graduate in finding a position which
promises satisfaction both in economic terms
and in self-realization and contribution.
The School's alumni assist in keeping alive
memories and friendships of student days and
provide the support so important to the School.
PLACEMENT
At graduation the Northwestern law student
joins the century-long procession of Law
School alumni. A wide range of choice is open.
To provide its graduates with advice, guidance,
and a broad selection of opportunities for their
legal careers, the Law School maintains a
placement service under the direction of the
Associate Dean of Placement.
Through general announcements to the
profession and particular inquiries, the
Placement Service gathers information on
professional opportunities and openings,
compiles complete listings of these opportunities, maintains files for the use of prospective
graduates, and posts announcements of new
openings to keep the student's information
current.
While there are many who practice law, the
demand for well-trained, able young lawyers
has not diminished. The rising level of starting
salaries gives evidence of the professional need.
Each year the Placement Service receives
inquiries and requests from numerous law
firms, corporations, and government agencies.
A majority of the Law School's alumni are
engaged in the private practice of law. Some
have chosen to remain in Chicago, while others
have settled in cities and towns throughout the
United States. In large firms and in individual
practice, Northwestern graduates rank as
leaders of the bar in every state in the nation
and in many foreign countries. In service to
their profession and their clients, they have
occupied the presidencies of the American,
state, and local bar associations.
Not all alumni elect the rewards of private
practice. Furthering a strong tradition of
public service, a number of those in each
graduating class accept positions with
government at the national, state, or local level.
Working with prosecuting and investigating
agencies, on government boards and
commissions, and on the staffs of government
departments, they are often vested with major
responsibilities and acquire wide experience
early in their professional lives. After a period
of government service, many enter private
practice, where their experience in government
is of great value. Others make public service
a career and attain high public office, elective
or appointive.
The roster of Law School alumni includes
past and present governors and United States
senators, cabinet members, department heads,
United Nations representatives, diplomats,
mayors, attorneys general, prosecutors,
legislators, and government advisers.
In the judiciary, Northwestern graduates
have served with distinction on the benches of
the highest courts, both federal and state.
For the top-ranking students, there are opportunities for clerkships with justices and judges
of the federal and state courts.
Through the years, Northwestern, for its
size, has contributed more than its share of the
nation's law teachers. Its graduates have joined
the faculties of nearly all the major law schools
in the United States, and many have served as
67
�deans, university presidents, and leaders in
other branches of education.
An expanding field of opportunity beyond
the limits of traditional practice is offered the
Law School graduate interested in business,
industry, and finance . In increasing recognition
of the values of legal training, corporations,
banks, and companies in a wide range of
enterprise seek Law School graduates not only
for their legal staffs but for executive positions.
Attractive starting salaries and opportunities
for advancement in management have
combined to draw a substantial number of
graduates of the Law School. Alumni have
risen to principal executive posts in many of
the nation's largest corporations in such fields
as transportation, oil, retailing, insurance,
finance, public utilities, and manufacturing.
Graduating students must make their own
choice from the array of professional
opportunities open to them. It is the function
of the Law School's Placement Service to assist
students in exploring the possibilities and help
in arranging the necessary contacts.
Each year a large number of law firms from
major cities throughout the United States send
members of the firm to the Law School to
interview advanced students. Government
agencies, corporations, and banks also send
representatives to the School for interviews.
Beyond its service to current graduates, the
Placement Service also seeks to provide
placement of students with law firms
and government agencies for summer vacation
Brunson MacChesney, Edna 8. and Ednyfed H.
Williams Professor of Law Emeritus
periods, in Chicago and elsewhere, and the
placement of alumni of earlier years who are
returning from military service or are seeking
a change of position.
PLACEMENT STATISTICS
Recent H.E.W. regulations require law
schools which participate in Federal loan
programs to make a good faith effort to present
prospective students with a complete and
accurate statement about the School, including
statistics on placement. The Law School, in
presenting these statistics, does not do so with
the intent of influencing an applicant's choice
of schools, nor can the School make any
guarantees to future graduates as to type of
employment or starting salaries.
In reviewing the information, individuals
should keep in mind that employment
opportunities for graduating seniors vary from
year to year, depending to a large extent on
the job market and the economy. Further, not
all students use the services of the Placement
Office or file a report with the office regarding
their employment.
A typical graduating class is composed of
about 175 students.

�THE LAW ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Over the years, the Law School has enjoyed
the loyal support of its alumni. In 1959, they
commemorated the Law School's centennial by
contributing substantially to the construction
of Robert R. McCormick Hall and the Owen L.
Coon Library, and their generous annual gifts
to the Law Alumni Fund provide scholarships
and significant support for the general program
of the School.
Many alumni assist directly in the
educational program. A number serve as
judges in the Moot Court program. In
addition, alumni are frequently asked to draw

upon their practical experience and specuu
knowledge in particular fields of law by
participating in course work or addressing
student groups. They render invaluable
assistance in connection with the placement
program.
Each year alumni reunions are held during
the meetings of the American Bar Association
and various state bar associations. An alumnifaculty luncheon is held in the fall, and an
alumni dinner is held each spring in Chicago
with a prominent guest speaker.

�"Where there is arbitrary power, there
is no occasion to study the law; when
the law begins to reign, its teachers
and practicers come forth .. ."

LAW
STUDY
AT
NORTHWESTERN
For more than a century the School of Law has been dedicated to
the education of men for all branches of endeavor in the law under
the highest standards of academic and professional excellence. This
dedication marks the character of the Law School today.
Professional training of the highest order and the development of
each student's unique capabilities are fostered by a close working relationship between student and teacher. Early in its history the Law
School adopted a policy of limited enrollment to promote educational
quality. Today Northwestern remains a law school of medium size,
small in comparison with others of n a tional standing. The result is
that each student is the beneficiary of a significant share of the resources of the School. Instruction is conducted by faculty members who
devote their full energies to legal education.
The first law school in its state and region and among the oldest in
the nation, Northwestern enjoys a rich heritage.
The School's program of instruction is designed to prepare students
for the broad challenge of the future. Long identified with progressive
movements in legal education, the Law School has always sought in its
program of instruction to foster an understanding of the formative principles that guide growth and change in the law, to educate lawyers not
for the demands of the practice of the past or even of the present, but
for the years ahead in which today's students will live out their professional lives. The most recent, and perhaps the most significant, reshaping of the School's curriculum was approved by the Faculty in the
spring of I 966 and is now fully in effect.

�. these noble buildings, designed for
one of the noblest uses to which any
building can be put-the teaching of law."
-Sir William Searle Holdsworth,
at the dedication of the
Law School buildings, June 16, 1927.
THE
SCHOOL
Unlike the physical sciences, legal learning require, no elaborate
apparatus. For the serious student, however, a stimulating and congenial environment contributes to the educational p1ocess. Professional
training of the highest order requires more than a comprehensive library and classrooms designed for effective teaching. There must be
places for reflection and concentration. There must be arrangements
conducive to informal interchange of thought and opinion between
student and student and between student and teacher. The atmosphere
should imbue the student of law with an appreciation for the ancient
traditions of the bar and for the professional heritage he will share.
LOCATION OF THE CAMPUSES
The Law School is situated on the shore of Lake Michigan near the
cen ter of Chicago. To the south, along the lake front, lie Grant Park,
a series of yacht basins, recreational faci lities, museums of art, science,
and natural history, a planetarium, and an aquarium. To the north extends the Gold Coast, an area of residential apartments separated from
the lake by a continuous series of parks, beaches, golf courses, and boating
faci lities. Nearby, to the west, is one of the city's centers of art and
entertainment. A half-mile to the southwest is the Chicago Loop, the
central business and shopping area, and the legal and financial center of
the region. Here, convenient for student visits, are located the offices of
federal, state, and municipal government, including trial and appellate
courts of both the state and federal governments, ranging from the local
small claims courts to the United States Court of Appeals.

The Law School constitutes part of the seH-contained professional
campus of Northwestern University. Surrounding the Law School are
the separate buildings of the Graduate School of Business Administration and the Medical and Dental Schools. Also on the campus are
Thorne Hall, an auditorium available for major convocations and ceremonies, and Abbott Hall, the eighteen-floor student residence for the
men and women enrolled in these graduate schools.
Living and studying on a self-sufficient graduate campus, the law
student remains free from the distractions of undergraduate life. The
original campus of the University, where the main body of about 6,400
undergraduate students and 2,350 graduate students are enrolled, is
twelve miles north in suburban Evanston.
The Evanston campus, available and accessible to Law School students
for cul tural activities, athletic events, a nd interdisciplinary seminars and
contacts, is the focus of the First Plan for the Seventies, the University's
current $180 million program of improvement. The First Plan is the
initial phase of a long-range program to maintain the University as a
major center of teaching, scholarship, and research. The second phase
will be based on the report of a facu lty committee that is delineating the
11
�University's needs beyond 1971 for both the Evanston and Chicago
campuses .
The $11.6 million University Library, key academic facility of the
First Plan, will be in use in 1970. Other facilities already completed or in
process of construction include the Lindheimer Astronomical Research
Center, Rebecca Crown Center, the O.T. Hogan Biological Sciences
Research Building, and ten acres of new lakefill which will be the site of
an $18 mill ion Center for the Fine and Performing Arts.
One specific provision of the First Plan is $1 million for remodeling
of the Law Library on the Chicago campus.
LAW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The Law School itself consists of a complex of buildings arranged to
form a quadrangle occupying the block between Chicago Avenue and
Superior Street. The original buildings, Levy Mayer Hall and the
Elbert H . Gary Library, were completed in 1926. Robert R . McCormick
Hall and the Owen L. Coon Library were completed in 1960. The
quadrangle completely encloses a quiet garden.
In interior design and ornament the buildings of the School are rich
in the lore of the law. About 2,500 portraits, engravings, etchings, and
photographs, collected by the late Dean John H . Wigmore in the United
States, England, and on the Continent, are hung about the School to
illustrate the men and events of the law throughout history and throughout the world. Both libraries and Robert R. McCormick Hall are aircondi tioned.
Booth Ha ll is one of the Schoo l's seve n classrooms.
�Lawyers of tomorrow meet in one of th e fo ur seminar rooms.
CLASSROOMS
The Law School contains seven major classrooms. These generous
facilities make it possible to schedule a number of classes at the same
time, reducing the number of students in each class meeting. Most
classes, including all those in the first year, are divided into sections.
As a consequence, the number of students attending a class seldom exceeds eighty-five and is often much smaller. Such classes, small by
general law school standards, encourage responsible participation by
each student in the probing, analytical discussion that is the mark of
legal education at Northwestern. Lincoln Hall, the largest of the classrooms, was modeled after the British House of Commons in dimensions
and seating arrangement. T h e entire School-student body and facultycan be accommodated in it with room to spare for guests.
In addition to the major classrooms, the School has four seminar
rooms scaled and furnished to provide comfortable and congenial surroundings for smaller study groups. Here meet the seminars of the
second and third years, numbering typically from ten to twenty, seated
informally around a table with one or more faculty members for a
detailed analysis of problem areas lying at the frontiers of legal development. In such study, the student necessarily bears a large measure
of responsibility for giving direction and substance to the discussion.
13
�For practice and instruction in the arts of advocacy, the School has
a fully equipped modern courtroom. Complete with witness stand, jury
box, counsel tables, and seating for spectators, it accommodates not only
mock appeals but full-scale practice trials.
LIBRARY
The indispensable instruments of the lawyer's calling are books, and
a comprehensive and well arranged library is essential to effective training for the profession. The library ·with its associated research facilities
is the heart of the Law School.
The Northwestern Law School library consists of two buildings, integrated physically and administered as a unit, the Elbert H. Gary Library
and the Owen L. Coon Library. In combination, the library occupies a
full side of the Law School quadrangle extending from Chicago Avenue
to Superior Street and includes four floors of working area. The Elbert
H. Gary Library, part of the original Law School buildings, is named
for the donor of the building who also established the Gary Fund, which
provided for the acquisition of substantial parts of the original collection
and also provides in part for the current purchase of books. The Owen
L. Coon Library, built in 1960, is named in recognition of a substantial
gift from the Owen L. Coon Foundation.
With more than 250,000 volumes in a constantly growing collection ,
Northwestern has one of the largest law school libraries in the world.
Open stacks and ample working space make the library a
comfortable and convenient place in wh ich to study.
�More importan t than size, however, is the utility of the collection. T h e
main reading room of th e library occupies the highest floor of the
building and is divided by shelved parti tions in to dozens of secluded
but well-lighted alcoves fit ted wi th large working tables and chairs to
provide convenient accommodations close by the books. The arrangement is repeated on the lower floors, with the addition of a number of
individ ual carrels for sustained and concentrated research. I ncluded on
a lower level are glass-walled typing areas with individual soundproof
carrels open to any student who may wish to type a research paper or to
reorganize his course notes.
The library is operated with an open-stack policy to bring readers
and books together without unnecessary formalities. The student is free
to browse and to search at will through the collection, and he may call
upon either the expert full-time staff of sixteen or the eighteen assistants
if he is in need of guidance, aid, or suggestions. The library is open
daily throughout the year and in the evenings as well whenever the
School is in session. To provide for the heavy demands of faculty research, a separate working collection is maintained in the Faculty Library.
The course of instruction has been designed not only to provide
basic instruction in the use of legal materials but to encourage full use
of the library's large resources and to afford every student extensive
opportunity for independent scholarly research.
The library's collection includes substantially all the reported decisions of the courts of the United States, its separate states and territories,
Great Britain and the Commonwealth, together with their statutes and
session laws and subsidiary publications-digests, encyclopedias, annotated cases, textbooks, periodicals, bibliognphies-necessary to form a
complete working collection for every legal system in the English language. A well selected comprehensive collection of United States government documents is maintained for the teaching program and for the
use of the legal profession generally. A complete collection of documents is available at Deering Library on the Evanston campus, which
is a designated depository library. This Anglo-American collection is
supplemented by a selection of works in the fields of history, economics,
government, and the other social and behavioral sciences. The library
also receives every current legal periodical of general interest printed in
the English language.
More than one-third of the total collection is made up of works in the
fields of foreign and international law. The comprehen sive materials in
foreign law include the codes, treatises, decisions, and journals of all
major European countries and Japan, and good working collections in
Latin-American law. At an early date the library began to build a complete collection in the law of nations, going beyond the domestic laws
15
�of the separate countries to emphasize the rules of law controlling their
relations with each other. This large collection includes the documents
of the international organizations, the international courts, treaty series
and official diplomatic documents, treatises and monographs and periodicals from all parts of the world. The collection permits original and useful work to be carried on in the field of public international law.
Holdings in other specialized fields include a comprehensive collection of treatises, periodicals, and documents in criminal law and its
administration, and a special collection of materials in aeronautics, including aviation law, commerce, and other works in the field exclusive
of technical engineering publications. In addition, the library includes
outstanding collections of medieval law, jurisprudence, legal history,
comparative law, and valuable resources in Roman law. Especially notable is the Williams Collection of Legal Instruments dating from A.D.
1300 to 1700 which comprises more than five hundred original manuscript instruments executed in connection with landed estates.
The Law School library is independent in administration and organization, but its comprehensive resources are supplemented in specialized
areas through inter-library loans and other cooperative arrangements
with the general University library, departmental libraries, and the
major public, educational, and legal collections in the region.
A special feature of the library is its distinguished rare book collection, housed in the handsome Hardy Scholars Treasure Room adjoining
the main reading room . These early volumes, numbering some 2,500,
have been acquired through the years and represent a variety of fields .
Many are first editions of the classics of the law, including a number of
manuscripts and incunabula (books printed before 1500). A number
are either unique or the only copies in the Western Hemisphere. The
value of these books is not primarily antiquarian, however. They have
been gathered and selected because they are indispensable for effective
legal research in areas that may be vital both to scholars and practitioners.
Although the reserve facilities of the library have been constructed
with foresight to accommodate an eventual collection twice the size of
the current holdings, provision has also been made for the use of the
materials of legal research of the future. A section of the library is fully
fitted with the basic equipment for the use of microfilm and microcards,
designed to replace conventional books and to ameliorate their problems
of bulk and deterioration.
As the practitioner of a learned profession, the lawyer is more than
a craftsman. To encourage a wide ranging interest among the students,
a section of the main reading room has been set aside for casual reading
in fields of current -or general significance. Comfortably furnished, the
16
�Professor and students meet informally in Lowden
Hall, the School lounge .
browsing area offers current periodicals as well as a broad selection of
biographical and miscellaneous works.
LIBRARY FUNDS
In addition to general University appropnat10ns, the Law Library
is supported by a number of special endowments.
The major endowment funds for the Library are the Gary Endowment Fund, established in 1925 by Elbert H . Gary (LL.B., 1867), then
Ch airman of the U nited States Steel Corpora tion , and the Norris E.
Crull Endowment Fund, es tablish ed in 1966 in memory of Norris E.
Crull (LL.B ., 1909).
In 19'17, under the auspices of the Law Alumni Association , the John
Henry Wigmore Fund was es tablished. In 1960, Mr. Barnet Hodes
(LL.B., 192 1) es tablished the Barnet Hodes Fund for the creation and
maintenance of a collection on local government. In 1967, Mr. J oseph
Rosenberg (LL.B., 1910) and Mrs. Rose nberg establish ed the Judge Hugo
M . Friend Memorial Fund, and the Class of 1965 established the Herbert
Dacks Memorial Fund in memory of their classmate, Herbert Dacks. In
1968, the Philip A. Shapiro Endowment Fund was es tablished in memory
17
�of Judge Philip A. Shapiro (LL.B., 1932) of the Circuit Court of Cook
County.
For a number of years Mr. Paul Cutler (LL.B., 1931) annually has
provided funds to enrich the collections in fields such as biography, history, political science, and literature for the Paul Cutler Browsing Alcove.
OTHER SCHOOL FACILITIES
Although hours in the classroc.,m and the library predominate both
for students and for faculty, there must be provision for the informal
give-and-take discussion in which the student lawyer hones his skill in
analysis and expression-and for moments of relaxation, however brief.
Lowden Hall, named for the first of the School's alumni to serve as governor of Illinois, is the principal School lounge and is rich with reminders of the history of law and the Law School. On the lower level
are lockers, food and beverage dispensers, and two rooms equipped with
tables for a coffee break or light luncheon.
A unique feature of the Law School is the study area provided on the
fourth floor of Levy Mayer Hall. Here are eight rooms accommodating
four to ten each, ideally suited to individual study or informal discussion and review sessions.
Separate offices are furnished for the various co-curricular activities
conducted under student auspices and control, including the officers of
the Junior Bar Association and the staff of the Law Review, the Julius
H. Miner Moot Court Competition, and the Student Book Exchange.
Candidates for the S.J.D. degree are also eligible for private offices.
Faculty offices, which open directly onto main corridors for access
without formalities or intermediaries, foster frequent and fruitful informal meeting between student and teacher.
STUDENT RESIDENCE
Living and working together, law students gain advantages that are
significant if not readily apparent. Casual conversation as well as earnest
discussion contributes to the development of the prospective lawyer's
powers and personality. The stimulation and discipline students give
one another have an impact that is directly evident in the classroom.
The ancient ancestors of modern law sd10ols, the English Inns of
Court, depended solely upon the influences of students' living, eating,
and arguing informally together to produce men of professional qualification. For the student who resides in Abbott Hall, the Law School becomes the center of everyday life. The library and the classrooms are
accessible, the distractions of commuting are avoided, and the student
18
�naturally and effortlessly concentrates his time and attention on preparing for the practice of law.
For these reasons, all law students except married students and those
whose homes are within easy commuting distance of the School are encouraged to live in Abbott Hall. It is designed to provide convenient
and attractive living quarters and to provide an atmosphere in which
may be developed all those qualities of personality which are so essential
to a lawyer, but which for the most part fall outside the sphere of
formal training. All law students residing in Abbott Hall belong to the
Law R esidence Association. The purpose of this organization is to bring
together the law students living in Abbott Hall, to provide social activities, and to improve the living conditions generally for those students.
The building, eighteen stories high, overlooks Lake Michigan on
Lake Shore Drive from Huron to Superior Street. It is constructed of
Indiana limestone and conforms in architectural style to the classroom
buildings on the campus. The first two floors and the basement are
given over to common rooms for social and recreational purposes, the
upper sixteen to private accommodations, with a lounge on each of the
upper floors. The first floor contains general offices and a series of shops.
On the second floor are a large student lounge and the dining rooms.
Facilities for handball, squash, weight lifting, exercise, billiards, and
table tennis are available in the basement.
Floors are reserved for the students of the School of Law. There is
also space reserved for women law students. Double study-bedrooms are
available. Rooms are equipped with desks, dressers, and beds with innerspring mattresses. All rooms are provided with chairs, draperies, and
lamps. Bed linens are not furnished. Each room has a double closet.
(Trunks are stored in the baggage room in the basement.) The plan of
a typical residential floor in Abbot Hall is shown below.
The cost of room and board in Abbott Hall is reasonable and is
below the rates charged for other desirable accommodations in the
same part of the city. The average room rate for the academic year is
19
�$400 for each occupant. Before a room is occupied, a contract for the
academic year is signed by the applicant.
Students do not sign board contracts. The attractive residents' dining
hall on the second floor serves excellent food and is operated on a daily
cash basis. The average daily cost of meals is $3.50.
The Division of Student Finance issues and makes all adjustments on
the residence bills for Abbott Hall. Rental bills are issued for payments
on October 1, January 1, and April 1. Bills are clue upon presentation
and are payable at the Cashier's Office in Abbott Hall.
Applications, together with a $50.00 room deposit, should be filed as
early as possible. For room applications, address the Manager, Abbott
Hall, 710 North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
Abbott Hall also has a limited number of furnished apartments for
married students. Apartment rentals average $130 a month, including
utilities. Rental apartments also are available in private buildings in the
vici nity of the Law School or within easy commuting distance.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
Through the Student Health Service of the University, students of
the Law School registered for six or more semester-hours are furnished
medical care and treatment. T he facilities of the several hospitals
affi liated with the U niversity and situated on the campus are available
for confinement, and outpatient care and consultation are provided m
the Medical School.
Students are enrolled with Student Health Service at the time of
registration, and at that time complete the necessary forms, appear for
a confere nce, and receive detailed information about the plan. For a
more complete description, the Student Health Service Information
Bulletin is available upon reques t.

THE
COURSE
OF
INSTRUCTION
The purpose of the Law School is to prepare its gnduates for effective service in all fields of law-to qualify men and women not only for
the private practice of the profession but for careers in government
service, in the fields of commerce and finance, and in legal education as
well. The curriculum does not concentrate upon imparting knowledge
of the legal rules applicable in any one jurisdiction or region. Rather,
it concentrates upon the development of the fundamental capacities and
skills of the lawyer.
Human activity is infinitely varied and ever changing. Law, bringing
order and direction to the relations of men, involves a continuous process of growth and adj ustment. Every legal problem and each case that
comes to the lawyer is, in a sense, unique. Effective professional education must therefore prepare the student to deal with situations never
before encountered, to direct the resources of the law to new fields of
human endeavor, and to handle not the problems of the past but the
cases of the future .
Reflecting this objective, the program of instruction in the Law
School differs markedly from the usual undergraduate instruction. It
requires, of course, diligence and effort for a mastery of the formal materials of the course. Beyond this foundation the instruction demands
thought and initiative of the individual student to extend his learning
21
�beyond the limits of the materials and to stretch his powers of analysis.
As the lawyer must deal with new situations throughout his professional
life, so the student lawyer is taught to transcend rote learning and to
find his way in unfamiliar contexts. The result is an intellectual challenge that is both rewarding and stimulating. The individual student
is spurred to go as far as his mind and industry will carry him.
The course of study embodied in the new curricular plan approved
by the Faculty in the spring of 1966 affords significant new opportunities
for developing and testing the capacities of the individual student.
CLASSES
The law student typically attends classes for fifteen or sixteen hours
a week. Class meetings are scheduled throughout the morning and
afternoon Monday through Friday with time for study between classes.
There are occasional special class meetings on Saturday, although generally that day is available for uninterrupted individual study and research. Two or three times as many hours are devoted to individual
study as are spent in class. Time spent in co-curricular activities and
independent research must be added to the requirements of course work.
The study of law, therefore, is a full-time occupation.
In a typical Law School term, the student's class attendance is distributed among four or five courses. Some of the subjects represent
ancient categories of the law. Course titles such as Criminal Law, Property, Contracts, and Torts go back, as separate topics, to the days of Lord
Coke or Blackstone. But life has changed since those early days in the
law, and even these traditional subjects have altered substantially in content. Today in Torts the focus is on such disparate objects as the automobile and the atom and upon the legal problem each presents to an
energized society. Property law today concerns itself not only with ancient learning but as well with such topics as urban renewal and air
rights. Criminal Law more and more is concerned with psychiatry, with
modern correctional theories, and with protection of the fundamental
rights of the accused. The law of Contracts today finds itself dealing
with and adjusting to the subject matter of tomorrow-plastics, missiles,
the building of skyscrapers, and the hiring of research and development
skills.
The changing character of law is reflected in the content of traditional courses, altered to keep pace with a changing society. It is reflected,
too, in the newer courses introduced by the Law School into the law
curriculum to deal with emerging areas of legal service. The lawyer is a
full-time student for only one period in his professional life. Within the
limits of the possible, he must be educated in that brief span for the re22

sponsibilities of the legal profession, not just for the day, but for the half
century of lawyer's work that lies ahead. So it is that Labor Relations,
Taxation, Administrative Law, Civil Rights, and Trade Relations were
introduced into the basic program of the Law School during the formative years of those subjects, anticipating the current recognition of their
significance. Courses and seminars in International Law, Scientific Evidence, Comparative Law, and International Business Transactions are
typical of other offerings designed to meet the needs of the profession in
the years to come.
FACULTY
The basic instruction in the Law School program is conducted by the
full-time resident faculty, who take teaching as their first responsibility.
Each member is experienced in private practice, in responsible government posts, or both. Many are called upon for consultation and advice
by government agencies and private groups and are active in the organizations and affairs of the legal profession and the community. Their
scholarly activities include the delivery of lectures and addresses before
legal and public bodies as well as the preparation of learned treatises
and articles. Such activities serve to complement and to enrich the instruction. The casebooks and other teaching materials for a majority of
the courses offered in the School were prepared by the faculty members
who teach those courses, and many are widely used, standard works in
their respective fields.
23
�A student makes a point in the Socratic dialogue
wh ich characterizes classroom work.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
In recognition of the lawyer's function of articulating the conflicting
interests of society, instruction in modern law schools is conducted principally through participation by the class. No longer does the student
lawyer listen passively in a lecture audience. To maximize the opportunity for active participation afforded each student, Northwestern Law
School has adopted a curricular policy emphasizing instruction through
relatively small classes and seminars. First-year courses enrolling 175
students or more have no place in the Law School program. The entering student will find himself attending classes with a group of approximately half that size. Seminars are limited in enrollment and commonly
range in size from ten to twenty students. Advanced individual work
is conducted under the personal supervision of one or more members
of the faculty.
Instruction of this kind requires a low student-faculty ratio. The
program of the School is based upon the conviction that this concentration of educational resources upon the individual student is the most
effective way to develop the skills that distinguish the legal profession.
THE CASE METHOD
The case method of teaching, employed principally in the formal
courses, particularly those offered in the first year, is founded upon the
premise that the first objective of law training is to develop an understanding on the part of the student of how and why the courts decide
cases as they do. The method was adopted at the Law School in the
earliest years of its evolution. The materials of study are the actual de24
�cisions of courts, embodied in written opm10ns rendered in real and
disputed cases, rather than a textbook compendium of legal rules. The
cases themselves are the specimens of legal controversy to be examined
and dissected. The student is brought to the level of a participant in
the proceeding, analyzing each stage in the course of litigation and each
step in the process of decision. Through painstaking scru tiny of a large
number of cases, the student shares vicariously the experience of the
lawyers and judges who conducted them, and thereby gains an understanding of the judicial process based on observation of the law in action
at first hand.
Although the case method varies in its use with the approach of the
professor, the teaching styles grouped under this heading have certain
characteristic elements in common.
Under the case system it is essential that students prepare thoroughly and intensively before class. The course materials £or this preparation
consist of a casebook, a collection of actual decisions in related kinds of
controversy. The student at Northwestern will find that the authors of
many of his casebooks are his own professors, authorities in their respective fields. The class session in a case-taught course typically does not
offer a lecture but rather a discussion of several of these cases, conducted
in the manner of a Socratic dialogue between the teacher and students.
Questions are designed to test the student's understanding of the case,
to identify the considerations that controlled the decision, and to probe
its implications for similar situations and its relation to other decisions.
The discussion is conducted in an atmosphere of unrelenting questioning of each idea presented, by both fellow students and instructor.
Through the guidance of provocative questions, the students develop a
healthy skepticism, a capacity for independent critical judgment, and a
tough-minded approach to legal materials.
Although the professor may upon occasion depart from the interrogating role to explain the background of a legal problem or to give
direction to the class discussion, the essence of the case method is the
collective probing and searching, the crucible of give and take in which
the student's own powers of reason and analysis are tempered and developed. The system is in fact designed to cast back to the student, after
he has digested and evaluated the wide range of ideas developed in
group discussion, the task of developing for himself an understanding,
first, of what courts and administrative agencies do and why they do it
and, second, of how to participate effectively in the process. From the
outset of his law school career the student is thus led to do what he has
to do throughout his professional life-think, analyze, and decide on his
own initia tive.
v\Tith the interplay of ideas and clash of opinion, class sessions are
�seldom dull. Since the significant formulation in the progress of the discussion may well come from a fellow student and since any student may
be drawn into the discussion at any time, alertness and concentrated
attention are required of all.
Most college students, accustomed to student-teacher dialogue only
in quite small groups, find it difficult to imagine vigorous discussion in
a class of eighty or ninety students. Although they may not fully understand why such discussion is possible until they themselves become regular participants in the process, they are welcomed and encouraged to
arrange with the Admissions Office to visit one or two classes at the Law
School to see the process in action.
THE PROBLEM METHOD
The problem method, an instructional technique originated at the
Law School and now widely employed throughout legal education, is
used in many second- and third-year courses. Here the emphasis is not
upon the cases or administrative decisions as such. The focus of the
student's work and of the class session is rather a set of facts raising
legal problems for which there may indeed be no authoritative solution.
The student's task is to take the available materials in the forms of decisions, statutes, and administrative rulings and to construct or create
his own solution to the problem.
Perhaps the problem is set at the stage where the businessman asks
for advice on a proposed transaction. Perhaps the transaction has already
taken place and the problem concerns the consequences to be attached
to the transaction by the federal or state government by way of taxation
or regulation. In short, the problems are much like those which come to
the lawyer in actual practice, and in fact the problems are frequently
drawn from life. Consultative practice by some members of the faculty
and the generally close relationship between the School and the practicing profession combine to provide the student in a problem-method
course with an experience that closely approximates the practice of law.
Characteristically in a course taught by this method, the student submits before the class session a short memorandum solution to the problem, based on his analysis of relevant source material. In the class session he or one of his fellow students is invited to explain the legal issues
presented by the problem situation and the views he takes of those issues.
Discussion, often vigorous, follows.
PRACTICE COURSES
Practice courses preserve in the Law School the advantages which
accrued to the aspiring attorney in an earlier day when there were no
26
�law schools and a man trained himself for the bar by working in the
office of an established lawyer, observing the practice of law, and learning through trial and error the arts and skills of the profession. In the
practice courses, the student actually tries the skills of the practitioner.
Prominent among these is the course known as Legal Clinic. In 1910,
Northwestern introduced to legal education the idea of giving law students actual experience in practice by providing legal services for the
poor. Under this program law students during the last half of their
training serve in the clinic under the supervision of a faculty member.
The clinic handles all kinds of civil cases, and the student may consult
with clients, interview witnesses, prepare pleadings and other instruments, appear in court, and assist in the conduct of trials. The training
fills a function similar in many respects to that of the internship m
medical education.
During his first year the student is instructed in the techniques of
oral and written argument in the course in Moot Court. Practicing the
lawyer's skills, he is required to prepare a written brief in compliance
with prevailing professional standards and to argue his case, opposed by
a fellow student under courtroom conditions before an appellate court
composed of prominent alumni and faculty members. This instruction
is continued on a voluntary basis in the second year in the Julius H.
Miner Moot Court Competition.
In the third year the student is offered a choice of practice courses in
the trial of a lawsuit from its beginning to end. The instruction provides the student with actual experience in examining witnesses, presenting evidence, arguing to a jury, and the like. The student thus learns by
doing, not merely by precept, what the trial lawyer must be able to do.
Most of the lawyer's practice is carried on in his office, not in the
courtroom. To prepare its graduates for the work of counseling, advising, and planning, the Law School offers a number of courses in which
the student is called upon to draw the legal instruments and documents
which the practicing attorney must be able to prepare.
SEMINARS
Seminars are offered in the second and third years in a variety of
fields. Here the student is free to select subjects of special interest to
him and to explore new areas of the law. In a group commonly numbering from ten to twenty, with the guidance of a senior faculty member,
the student engages in intensive individual work on some aspect of the
general subject embraced by the seminar. Many seminars cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries and include materials and participants
from such fields as economics, sociology, psychiatry, and political science.
27
�Often the seminar student ·writes a major paper and presents this
product of his own research for the critical consideration of the seminar
group. 'With the stimulus of special interest in the subject matter and
the spur of criticism from interested fellow students in prospect, significant legal research is done in the seminars. Some of the papers are
printed in the professional journals published by the Law School, and
research done in the seminar program has on occasion been favorably
noticed in the opinions of some of the nation's highest courts.
SENIOR RESEARCH PROGRAM
The Senior Research Program in the third year is an innovation in
legal education introduced for the first time in 1966-67. Under this Program a student with faculty approval may elect to devote a significant
proportion of his third year (from 4 to 8 credit hours) to advanced research under the personal supervision of one or more members of the
facu lty. A student interested in this Program may propose during his
second year a project for faculty approval and arrange his schedule to
include the Law School courses and seminars which provide the necessary
background for the proposed work. In the third year the student meets
at least weekly with his faculty supervisor to discuss the progress of the
research. The final paper or report must be approved by a facu lty committee.
The aim is not to make a "specialist" of the student, but rather to
afford him the intellectual experience of plumbing a subject to its depths;
of sharpening his power of analysis, observation and communication; and
of making a genuine contribution to research. Depending upon the
nature of the subject, projects may require research in the law library,
and may also draw upon other resources: other libraries in the University
and the community; other departments of the University, where course or
seminar offerings related to the field of inquiry may be taken; or the community itself, where field research may be undertaken. The Program is
flexible enough to permit, with careful advanced planning and approval,
even work in other parts of the nation or the world.
The faculty participants in the Program carry a classroom teaching
load which is lighter than normal in order that they may devote more
time to parallel research and to the joint discussion and critique necessary to take the inquiry beyond the bounds of traditional seminar work or
individual study projects. Indeed in many cases, work in the Program is
expected to grow into a joint, cooperative student-teacher research undertaking, more significant not only in substance but also in working relationship than anything heretofore possible in a law school setting.
The challenges and rewards promised by the Senior Research Program
are many. As a supplement to the longer established group learning tech28
�niques_. the individual learning and teaching offered by the Program
promise significant further enrichment for students willing and able to
meet its demands for initiative, self-discipline, and hard work. The Program is expected to serve, too, the School's established goal of making
regular contributions on the frontiers of the law.
Most significant of all, perhaps, are the opportunities for student and
teacher to work together in concrete ways toward the common end of
advancing the highest traditions of the law as a learned profession and
as a servant of society.
THE THREE-YEAR CURRICULUM
In the last century Northwestern, setting the norm in legal education, was among the first of the nation's law schools to require three
years of study for a degree in law. Beginning students enter the Law
School in September and attend the two semesters of the regular academic year for three years. By attending optional summer sessions, however, students may earn their degrees in twenty-eight months.
The most recent revision of the School's curriculum, comprising the
elective second year and the Senior Research Program, was approved by
the Faculty in the spring of 1966, and now is fully in effect. During his
first year of law study the student follows a prescribed course designed
to provide an understanding of basic legal principles and concepts and
to give a solid grounding in the fundamentals indispensable for all
branches of the profession. Here the student encounters the grand
divisions of private law-Property, Tort, and Contract-as well as Constitutional Law and Criminal Law. The course in Legal Writing and
Research and the Laboratory Seminar in Procedure meet typically in
small groups (ten to fifteen students) in which the lawyer's basic tools
and the first year student's individual problems in dealing with them are
brought under careful scrutiny.
Each entering student is assigned a senior faculty member as adviser.
This advisory relationship is available in the first year to ease the adjustment to the demands of law study. Thereafter the adviser becomes
guide and mentor as the student plans the work of his last two years.
The wide range of electives offered by the Law School in the second
and third years permits a modest degree of concentration by the student
wishing it. Moreover, seminars often provide opportunities for further
exploration of a field in a new context. Thus, for instance, criminal
procedure may be treated in a paper written for the Civil Liberties
seminar or commercial law may be studied in the Legal History or
Comparative Law seminars. But perhaps most significant is the opportunity offered to sample a wide variety of problems in the law and
29
�to foster new interests thus discovered. The School's policy of offering
most courses in two sections meeting at different times and often in
different semesters practically insures that, with advance planning, the
student can include in his schedule virtually any combination of elective
courses he wishes in his last two years.
REQUIRED COURSES
In order to be recommended for the degree of Juris Doctor, a student
must complete successfully 90 semester-hours of work including the following:
All courses in the first year curriculum
Four hours of seminar work requiring substantial individual research
and writing (two hours for those students receiving four or more
hours of credit for work in the Senior Research Program)
The courses in
Legal Profession
International Law
Although the Faculty may change the requirements for graduation
at any time, this responsibility is not exercised so as to place an undue
burden upon an enrolled student who has planned his program on the
basis of previously announced requirements.
In addition to these course requirements, instructors may establish
one or more prerequisites for enrollment in particular courses and seminars in the second and third years. Courses listed as concurrent requisites
may be courses taken previously or to be taken concurrently.
COURSE LOAD
Courses totaling 16 credit-hours in any term, in the opm10n of the
Faculty, represent the maximum amount of work which a good student
can do effectively under favorable conditions. On the other hand, each
student is expected to register for not less than 14 credit-hours of work
each term.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT
The seminars and the courses in Trial Practice and Introduction to
Litigation are limited in enrollment. The School cannot assure that all
students wishing to enroll in a particular seminar, Trial Practice, or
Introduction to Litigation can be accommodated.

�ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Programs for the second and third year must have the written approval of the student's assigned faculty adviser. In their second year students may register for no more than one seminar in any semester. Third
year students may register in any semester for no more than two seminars
requiring the writing of substantial papers.
Since the Trial Practice and Introduction to Litigation courses are
substantially similar, no student may take more than one such offering.
Regular attendance is required in all courses. No student should
enroll in any course without the intention and capability of satisfying
this requirement. Failure to attend regularly may cause reduction in
grades, loss of credit for courses, additional remedial work, denial of
residence credit, or other appropriate sanctions in the discretion of the
instructor or the Dean.
EXAMINATIONS AND GRADES
Regular examinations are given in all formal courses. In accordance
with the prevailing practice in legal education, a single final examination is usually given, without periodic or mid-term tests, to permit comprehensive treatment of the subject matter and to measure the student's
capacity to work with and master a substantial body of material. Although examinations provide the most important source for determining
the student's relative achievement, consideration may also be given to
the written work done in connection with a course and to the preparation of assignments for recitation as reflected in classroom discussion. In
seminar courses, no examinations are ordinarily given. Grades are based
upon the products of individual research and participation in the seminar discussions.
Students who are eligible but who for good reason are unable to
take an examination may, with the permission of the Dean, take the
next regularly scheduled examination in the course, take the examination late, or in unusual cases be given a special examination.
The grading system is numerical. A grade of 85 or above represents
work of the highest distinction. Grades of 68 and above indicate various
degrees of satisfactory work. Credit is given for courses in which the
student receives a grade from 60 through 67, but such grades indicate
unsatisfactory work. No credit is given for a course in which a grade of
less than 60 is received.
A student who, at the end of any term after his first term in School,
has failed to maintain an average of 68 to that date is ineligible for
further registration in the School. A student who fails to attain an
average grade of 68 over his entire course is ineligible for a degree.
45
�Grades received at other schools are not considered in determining the
average grade.
At the option of the instructor, grades in courses and seminars m
which no examination is given may be recorded simply as P (pass) or
F (failure).
HONORS AND PRIZES
In 1907 the Order of the Coif was founded at 1 orthwestern, and it
has since become the recognized national honor society in legal education with chapters, numbering more than forty-five, established in most
of the leading law schools. The tradition of recognizing scholarly excellence thus begun in the School is reflected today in the long list of
awards and prizes given in recognition of superior accomplishment.

DEGREES
Degrees are conferred by the Trustees of the University upon students
who are recommended by the Faculty of the School of Law. Before a
student is recommended for a degree, he must have satisfied the Faculty
as to his character, and he must have complied with the requirements
for the degree for which he is a candidate.
The first degree in law awarded by the University is the Juris Doctor Q.D.). It is conferred upon students who have satisfactorily completed courses carrying 90 semester-hours of credit in the School of
Law, including the required courses described on page 30. The work
must be pursued during a residence period of three academic years or
the equivalent. The last year must be in residence at Northwestern
University School of Law, and in the case of students transferring from
another law school, a minimum of 30 semester-hours of credit must be
earned in this School.
When the Faculty believes that the candidate's record of scholarship
merits special recognition, the degree may be awarded cum laude, magna
cum laude, or summa cum laude.
Degrees conferred upon students who have already obtained their
first degrees in law are described in the information concerning Graduate Study on pages 58-59.
49
�SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS
In the total educational program of the Law School, the formal course work
within the curriculum is supplemented by a variety of additional offerings. Lectures by distinguished scholars, jurists, and statesmen from the United States
and abroad serve as cultural adj un cts to the regular courses and emphasize the
broader public obligations of the profession. In recognition of the Law School's
role in the life of the profession, the community, and the nation, conferences
are held which bring together leaders of thought and action for discussion of
subjects of major public importance. Through participation in these programs,
the student broadens his vision and develops the sense of public responsibility
which characterizes the highest traditions of the bar.
Many of these curricular supplements are presented by the Law School as
an integral part of the general educational program upon an occasional basis
and without special sponsorship. Others are offered as part of established and
continuing programs within the School. The most notable of these continuing
programs are described below.

In 1960, as part of the observance of the Law School's centennial, a conference was held on the subject "Individual Freedom and Public Debate." Among
the speakers was Adlai E. Stevenson '26.
In 1961, a conference was held on "Freedom and Responsibility in Broadcasting." Among the participants were Newton N. Minow '50, formerly Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, and Roscoe E. Barrow '38,
formerly Dean of the University of Cincinnati College of Law.
In 1961, a conference was held on "The Illinois Professional Association
Law." Among the participants was Crane C. Hauser, a member of the Chicago
Bar and an alumnus of the School who formerly served as Chief Counsel of
the Internal Revenue Service of the United States Treasury.
In 1962, a conference was held on "The Uniform Commercial Code m
Illinois."
In 1962, a lecture on Common Market Antitrust Law was given by Arved

In 1964, a series of lectures on the European Common Market was given by
Dennis Thompson, a barrister-at-law of London, England.
In 1965, a conference was held on "Town and Country Planning: Planned
Development Zoning."
NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATION IN
LAW AND POVERTY
In June of 1967, the National Institute for Education in Law and Poverty
was established under the Law School's spo nsorsh ip. With the founding of the
Institute, the Law School added a dramatic new dimension to its continuing
legal education efforts. The primary audience for this program is the 2,000
lawyers who provide legal representation for the poor in Office of Econom ic
Opportunity Legal Services Programs across the country. The National Institute was funded under a $475,000 per year grant from the Office of Economic
Opportunity.
The purpose of the National Institute is to develop continuing legal education programs and materials for the poverty lawyer, comparable to those
54
�a lready developed in other areas of the law. The
ational Institute seeks
to bridge the chasm which sometimes exists between the world of scholars and
the world of practitioners, to offer ma teri als which are co nsistent with the
best standards of research and yet sensitive to th e practical problems of the
neighborhood lawyer who serves a host of indigent clients, a nd to supply th e
scholarship a nd the argum ents n eeded for successful test cases.
Just as there cannot be effective legal r epresentation of businessmen without representation of their business organizations, primarily corpora tio ns, so
too there cannot be effective legal representation of the poor without representation of their organizations, community development corporations, consumer
groups, etc. Building an effective lawyer-cl ient r elat ionship with an organization of the poor involves special problems and challenges for the lawyer's
versatility, expertise, a nd skill in human relations. T he National Institu te's
program places a major stress o n the philosophy and techniques of skillful
gro up representation.
The Institute's program for 1968 focuses on two areas of special con cern to
the poor: Welfare Law and Consumer Law. The Institute is conducting, in
each subj ect, regional conferences for all the Legal Services attorn eys in the
Un ited States. Six regional conferences are sch eduled to explore each subj ect.
T h e conferen ces are also open to others with a professional inter est in the
legal problems of the poor, such as attorneys in private practice, judges, and
law professors. The conferences last two to three cl ays and cover the major
problems in each field, with emphasis on gro up representation and on potential
successful test-case issu es.
The literature of poverty law is largely yet to be written. To help fill the
sch olarship gap, the Nation al Institute has published the first editions of a
Handbook on Consumer Law and a companion volume, the Handbook on
Welfare Law. Each Handbook co ntain s a selection of originally researched
articles, practice papers, a nd other materials to aid the poverty law practitioner
in both his day-to-day work and in his test case law r eform efforts.
A major purpose of Northwestern U niversity in founding the National
Institute is to provide a way to introduce its Jaw students to poverty law, a
rapidly growing practice area of vital importance, both to the poor and to the
just and orderl y development of our society.
In connection with the Institute, a Seminar in Poverty Law has been added
to the Law School curriculum. To a select number of students interested in
poverty law, the National Institute is also able to offer part-time positions as
research ass istants. Through the Sem inar in Poverty Law and through their
participation as research assistants, students will not only grow in knowledge
of the legal problems confronting the poor, but also will develop and fortify
a li felong professional commitment to the solution of these problems, many
of which, in the final analysis, are but the residue of society's neglect.
CORPORATE COUNSEL INSTITUTE
Si nce 1962, Northwestern has conducted the An nual Corporate Counsel
Institute in coop eration with the American, Illinois, and Chicago Bar Associations and the Institute of Continuing Education of the Illinois Bar Association.

THE CRIMINAL LAW PROGRAM
The Law School's Criminal Law Program offers unusual breadth and depth
not only for graduate stud ents but also for candidates for the first d egree in
law. With the assistance of four grants from the Ford Foundation, the Law
School's programs in the field of crim in al law have developed as follows :
In 1958, the Ford Foundation awarded $300,000 to the Law School for the
establishment of a gradu ate program in criminal law. Graduate fe llowships to
train practitioners a nd teachers in this area were awa rded for the n ex t fiv e years.
In 1964, the Ford Foundation awarded $300,000 to the Law School to
establish a Police Legal Advisor Program. This five-year graduate program was
d esigned to train youn g lawyers as "house counsel" to metropolitan police
dep artments, a nd a number of fe llowships have been awarded from 1964
through 1967. Graduates of th is Progr am, who spent on e year in residence and
one year in the fie ld , now hold high rank ing police administrative and training
positions in various cities of the United States, and the police legal advisor
system was approved and r ecommend ed for ever y police department by the
1967 R ep ort of the Pres ident's Comm iss ion on Law E nforcem ent and the
Administration of Justi ce. T h is Program also fund ed a number of conferences
of police legal advisors, prosecutors, and pol ice administrators throughout the
life of the grant. In 1966, a conference o n " The Supreme Court and the
Police" was held at the Law School.
An extension in 1968 of the Police Legal Advisor Program for a three-year
p eriod was made p ossible by a n add itional .$365,000 gr ant from the 17 ord
Foundation. Under the extended program there will be an acceleration o f
the training of more Police Legal Advisors within a shorter p eriod of time by
the eliminatio n of the degree requ irements. The train ees will spend one
semester in r es iden ce and six months in the fi eld. T his revision of the training
program was made n ecessary by the n eed for greater numbers of such personnel
in police departments throughout the co untry.
In 1967, the Ford Foundation awarded $600,000 to the Law School to
establish an expanded gradu ate and undergraduate program in criminal law.
Th is program offers two-year fellowships to young lawyers who plan careers as
prosecutors or defense counsel in criminal cases. T h e first year is spent in
r esiden ce and the second, in an office of prosecution or defense. In add ition,
a number of summer clerksh ips, supported by a fellowship of $1,200, are
56
�available to orthwestern law students, primarily juniors, to provide experience
working in the areas of police, prosecution, public and private defe nse, courts
and corrections. These fellowships are awarded in the spring of each year to
students who plan to take advanced courses and seminars in criminal law
d ur ing their senior year. This newest grant will also fund a distinguish ed
lecture series in the area of criminal a nd constitu tional law a nd procedure.
Mor e information on graduate fellowshi ps in Criminal Law appears on
pages 86 and 87.
THE PROGRAM OF INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES
T he Ford Foundation awarded $200,000 to the Law School for the expansion of its program in International Legal Studies in 1957 . The School's early
interest in the field is manifested by its substan tial and seasoned library collections in foreign and in ternational law and by its long standing requ irement
that each stu dent take the basic introductory course in international Jaw. In
furtherance of its program th e School h as offered courses and seminars in
Internatio nal Business Transacti ons, In ternatio nal Organ ization, Comparative
Law, Adm iralty, and Common Market.
The funds of the gran t are used for additional faculty and for visiting
foreign professors, and they support graduate fe llowships for foreign lawyers
and students. Other portions of the funds are devoted to work-seminars and
conferences in the fie ld of international Jaw.
More information on graduate fellowsh ips in Intern ation al Legal Studies
appears on page 86.
THE PROGRAM IN LAW AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
The Russell Sage Foundation awarded approximately $210,000 in 1963 to
the Law School and the Graduate School of the University for a three-year
program of interdisciplinary study and research in law and the social sciences.
In 1966, the grant was renewed for an additional three years, in an amount of
over $250,000. One purpose of these grants is to stimulate awareness of lawyers
and law students of the contribution of the behaviorial sciences to the understanding and improvement of the legal order. The other principal goal of the
program is to foster among social scientists an understanding of the nature and
implications of the legal order for their own disciplines. To achieve these ends,
scholarships are awarded in both the Graduate School of the University and in
the School of Law (see page 78) . The Sage Scholars in the Law School ordinarily are expected to take for credit a group of seminars cutting across a number of disciplines. They may also expect to be involved in special research
activity and in the editing of the Law and Society Rev iew, which has a student
board of editors and contributors.
"PH ILOSOPHY FROM LAW" CONFERENCES
In accordance with the terms of a grant of $10,000 from Mr. Oscar van Leer,
an alumnus of the Law School, a series of conferences under the general title
of "Ph il osophy from Law" was inaugurated in Sep tember, 1963.
57
�The objective of the grant was to bring together scholars of various disciplines, lawyers, and judges for th e purposes of attempting to distill from the
discipline of the law some insights beyond the usual profess ional skills which
may contribute to man's understanding of himself and his society.
In accordance with this gen eral objective the particular subj ect of the first
conference was "Compromise and Decision-Making in the Resolution of Controversies."
The second conference in th e seri es was held in September , 1965 on th e
subj ect " Equal Justice in a n Unequal vVorlcl. "
GRADUATE STUDY IN LAW
The graduate program of the Law School has several objectives. One
purpose is to offer to recent law graduates who have demonstrated
superior proficiency in the study of law, as well as to active practitioners,
an opportunity not only to broaden their legal knowledge but also to
study and engage in research in particular fields of interest. The School
also desires to make its faci lities available to law teachers and prospective law teachers interested in advanced study and original research and
writing under faculty guidance. In addition, the program is intended to
provide outstanding graduates of foreign law schools with an opportunity to expand their knowledge of American legal processes and to
engage in comparative legal research.
DEGREES
Two graduate degrees are granted : the degree of Master of Laws
(LL.M.) and the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D .).
Master of Laws (LL.M.). The degree of Master of Laws is conferred
upon students who have obtained a first degree in law from this University or another having equivalent requirements; in unusual cases, this
requirement may be waived by a vote of the Faculty. Also such students
must fulfill the following requirements:
1. The completion of one academic year of residence in this school,
during which time credit must be obtained for not less than 10 semesterhours in courses or seminars not previously counted toward the first
degree in law. Students who have not previously taken, for their first
degree in law, courses or seminars in the general fields of jurisprudence
and comparative law, must include such work in their program. The
requirement of work in one of these two fields may be waived when, in
the judgment of the Graduate Committee, the specialized character of a
particular graduate students' program warrants it. Each graduate student's course program is individually planned in light of the student's
choice of a thesis topic. To the extent necessary to establish a background
58
�for his research, the Graduate Committee may in its discretion require a
graduate student to take course and seminar work in addition to the
minimum prescribed above. During their year of residence, graduate
students are required to maintain a superior scholarship record.
2. The completion of a thorough study of some approved legal topic
and the presentation of a paper embodying its results. The candidate's
thesis must be of such character as to be suitable for publication in the
Northwestern University Law Review or the Journal of Criminal Law,
Criminology and Police Science.
3. The passing of an examination to be prescribed by the Faculty.
Doctor of Juridical Science (S.].D.). The degree of Doctor of Juridical Science is conferred upon students who have obtained the degree
of Juris Doctor from this or some other university or college having
equivalent requirements for that degree or who have obtained the degree
of Bachelor of Laws from another university or college whose requirements for that degree are equivalent to those prescribed by this School
for the degree of Juris Doctor and who have fulfilled the following
requirements:
A. The completion of one academic year of residence in this School.
The time required for the completion of a candidate's work, however,
normally runs far beyond the period of residence required.
B. The completion of a study to be approved by the Faculty or its
designated committee. This study shall be one involving original research
and must be completed in such manner, both as to subject matter and
literary form, as to be, in the opinion of the Faculty, a significant and
scholarly contribution to legal science.
C. The completion of such other work, if any, as may be directed by
the Dean in the particular case.
D. The passing of an examination to be prescribed by the Faculty.
Faculty policy restricts this degree to candidates who have had substantial experience either in practicing or teaching law and who, through
their published writings, have evidenced their capacity for advanced
graduate work.
Candidates for this degree are afforded every facility for both library
and field research, and at some time during their residence they are given
the opportunity to instruct students along the line of their research. They
are given the rank of graduate Fellow and are accorded many of the
privileges of members of the Faculty.

THE
LIFE OF
THE
SCHOOL
A well seasoned aphorism, familiar to law students everywhere, says
that a law student receives his education from his classmates. Like many
an old saw, the observation contains within its exaggeration a kernel of
truth. Law school instruction is built upon student participation. Beyond the classroom the student continues his professional preparation in
give-and-take discussion, corridor debate, and friendly argument with
his fellows. The vitality of the Law School is measured by the quality
and vigor of its student body.
At Northwestern the entering student finds himself a member of a
closely knit community of men and women, bound together by a common
pursuit and by the rich traditions of the Law School's history. The student body is comparatively small, averaging approximately 475 students.
The modest size of the School and its instructional policies-division of
most courses into two or morn sections and the wide range of electives
offered after the first year-promote wide acquaintance among students.
The beginner himself is carefully chosen through a policy of selective
admission designed to assure that every member of the class is capable
of legal study at the highest and most challenging level. His classmates
are high ranking graduates of the leading colleges and universities in the
United States and abroad.

�Students benefit from friendly relationships with fellow students coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. The typical student body consists of men and women from thirty-five states and eight or ten foreign
countries. One hundred and thirty-seven colleges and universities are
represented by graduates enrolled in the Law School (see pp. 93-94). A
variety of undergraduate majors are included, and many students have
earned graduate degrees in other fields before entering Law School.
Law students as a whole tend to be individualistic and venturesome,
and a broad range of opinion and experience is encompassed in the
student body. The stimulating contacts of student life at the Law School
combine to develop a mature, tolerant, and broadened outlook in the
individual student. A healthy spirit of competition, helpful in encouraging each student to his best effort, exists concurrent with the kind of
comradeship and mutual respect so characteristic of the legal profession
generally.
LEGAL PUBLICATIONS
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW
Foremost among the Law School's student activities is the publication
of the Northw est ern University Law R eview, one of the nation's leading
professional journals. The Law R eview is circulated widely among lawyers
and judges and is often cited in briefs and judicial opinions. The tradition
in the legal world of accepting as authoritative professional journals,
written, edited, and published by men who have not yet achieved professional status, is unique. "\1Vork on the Law R eview is at once the most
demanding and rewarding experience available to the law student.
A law journal entitled the Northw estern Law R eview was first established by students of the School during the academic year 1892-93, within
five years of the appearance of the first student journal in the nation.
Publication was continued in 1906, after a ten-year suspension, under the
title Illinois Law R eview.
For a period beginning in 1924 editorship was shared with the law
schools of the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois. In
1932 Northwestern students resumed full control, and in 1952 the name
was changed to Northw estern Universit y Law R eview.
At the encl of the first year, students of the highest scholastic standing
are chosen to write commentary on legal problems for publication and to
carry on the research, editing, and related work of the Law R eview.
Selection is one of the highest honors and gTeatest responsibilities the
Law School can bestow. The work of the Law R eview is so integrated
with the instructional program of the School that participation is normally a requisite for election to the Order of the Coif. Because of their
rich educational experience and resulting excellent qualification for any
64
�The library, where student meets lawbook and the training
of a lawyer begins.
field of the profession, Law R eview editors are sought and preferred after
graduation by leading law firms, government, and private business. The
fact that the student body is not large means that at Northwestern the
opportunities for Law R eview participation are somewhat broader than
in many other schools.
Law R eview participation is hard work, which requires the members
to return several weeks before school begins in the fa ll and demands a
major portion of their time during the academic year. One clay each
spring is reserved for a Law R eview students-faculty softball game and a
dinner program caricaturing the foibles of the professors.
THE JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL LAW,
CRIMINOLOGY AND POLICE SCIENCE
Another Law School publication tha t is available for the publishable
products of student scholarship is the Journal of Criminal Law, Criminology ancl Police Science. This Journal, with a world-wide circulation,
is the foremost publication of its kind. It has been in continuous publication since 1910. Professor Fred E. Inbau is its editor-in-chief and
managing director. The assistant editor-in-chief is Professor James R.
Thompson. They are assisted by a Board of Consulting Editors composed outstanding legal scholars and criminologists.
The section of the Journal devoted to Police Science is under the
editorship of Ordway Hilton, Examiner of Questioned Documents, New
York City. He is assisted b y a Board of Consulting Editors in the fields
of police administration, criminalistics, and forensic sciences generally.
The student board of the Journal, like the editorial board of the
Law R eview, is chosen from among the highest ranking students at the
65
�end of the first year of Law School work and bears responsibility for
preparing and editing the case abstracts, notes, and comments appearing in the student section of the Journal. Although several law schools
have so-called "intramural" law reviews in addi tion to regular published
journals to broaden opportunities for student participation in work of
this kind, the availability of a second published periodical for student
work is rare, if not unique, especially in a moderate-size school.
JULIUS H. MINER MOOT COURT COMPETITION
To provide continuing practice and instruction in the arts of appellate advocacy, the first-year course in Moot Court is supplemented by the
Julius H. Miner Moot Court Competition for advanced students in the
School. Made possible by an endowment memorializing Judge Julius H.
Miner, the program is conducted, under faculty supervision, by thirdyear students comprising the Moot Court Board and involves the preparation of appellate court briefs and the presentation of oral arguments
before panels of judges, practicing attorneys, and faculty members. The
cases typically raise issues of current legal importance, more complex and
challenging than those assigned in the regular first-year course. The final
argument is conducted before the entire student body, customarily with
distinguished judges from the federal bench. Those who have served
as presiding judges for final arguments include former associate Justice
Arthur J. Goldberg (an alumnus of the Law School) and Associate
Justices Byron R. ·w hite, Tom C. Clark, and Potter Stewart of the
Supreme Court of the United States. The School team in the National
Moot Court Competition is chosen from among the Miner Competition
finalists .

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY:
THE JUNIOR BAR ASSOCIATION
Law students are only a few short steps removed from the practice of
law. The qualities of personal integrity and responsibility essential in
the profession are best fostered not by exhortation but by actual exercise
and experience. In the belief that the most effective way to develop
maturity and responsibility among the students is to vest responsibility
in the students themselves, the Law School has conferred a large measure
of authority upon the students' professional organization, the Junior
Bar Association.
All students are members of the Association and through it work out
the problems of student government and School activities. Its declared
objects are to encourage and promote the highest standards of integrity
and industry to the end that its members may be properly equipped to
enter the profession of the law. The officers and Board of Governors of
the Association are elected by the students.
HONOR CODE
An important product of the Law School's philosophy of student
responsibility is the honor code and the broad authority granted to the
students, through the Junior Bar Association, with respect to its enforcement and implementation. The basic tenet of the Honor Code is that
the law student, like the lawyer, should be subject to unyielding standards
of honorable conduct. In reliance upon the students' collective sense of
responsibility, Law School examinations are unmonitored and unsupervised by faculty, staff, or proctors. The honor code imposes a strict obli67
�gation upon each student to report any apparent infractions to the students constituting the Board of Governors of the Association. After a full
hearing the Board has the duty to make findings and to recommend
appropriate disciplinary action to the Faculty.
The code covers not only the administration of examinations, but
also the submission of written papers and the conduct of a student generally in his law study and relations with the School. The student body
through its elected representatives in the Junior Bar Association further
has the authority to prescribe and enforce rules of conduct in and about
the Law School and to enforce the regulations governing the use of the
library. The intent is that h abits of professional self-discipline should
be developed in the student, rather than imposed upon him by outward
authority.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The student body bears important respon sibilities as well in the supplemental educa tional programs of the School. The Junior Bar Association traditionally sponsors a series of frequent lectures, bringing outstanding lawyers, judges, and political figures to the Law School to address
the students on subj ects of general interest. Informal receptions are held
frequently in Lowden Hall to afford the student opportunities for social
contact and casual conversation with members of the faculty and distinguished visi tors to the School.
A wide variety of activities is carried on under student leadership
through the Junior Bar Association to serve the needs and interests of
fellow studen ts. The Association takes a leading role in planning and
conducting the annual orientation program for new students, assists them
with registration, and arranges for a reception and small advisory meetings, all designed to welcome the beginner and to ease the educational
transition.
The Association operates an exchange for the purchase and sale of
used casebooks and course materials, supplementing the facilities of the
U niversity Bookstore in Abbot Hall and helping students who must
economize.
In r ecogni tion of the Law School's p lace in the legal profession at
large, the Northwestern Junior Bar Association is affiliated with the
American Law Student Association, the national organization of students
in training for the law, sponsored by the American Bar Association.
The varied range of opportunities afforded to Law School studen ts
for service to their fellows, to the School, and to the profession provides valuable training in the exercise of those responsibilities that
distinguish the lawyer's calling as a profession.
68
�RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS
Each year a number of second and third year studen ts are selected
to serve as Research Assistants to individual members of the Faculty.
These appointments carry a modest stipend but are valued primarily for
the opportunities they afford for close participation in the ongoing
scholarly work and publications of the Faculty.
VOLUNTARY LEGAL SERVICES
The School's Legal Clinic program, a part of the curriculum since
1910, has long provided opportunities for students to secure practical
experience while rendering a service to those unable to pay for legal
counsel. R ecent developments in the law requiring expanded representation for indigent criminal defendants and the recent proliferation of
voluntary and governmental agencies providing legal services on the
civil side to members of disadvantaged groups have greatly increased the
number of opportunities open to students to give voluntary service from
which both satisfaction and valuable experience can be gained. The
School's location, in the heart of a major urban center, is a particularly
fortunate one for this purpose. A high proportion of the students in the
second and third year take part in one or more of these voluntary programs.
A voluntary program, instituted in cooperation with the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, affords an opportunity
for interested students to assist assigned practitioners in represen ting indigen t defendants in criminal cases before the federal courts. A parallel
program under the same sponsorship provides experience in law offices
on civil matters.
The School's chapter of -the Law Students' Civil Rights Research
Council provides research and other assistance to practitioners concerned
with civil rights questions.
A number of students serve as assistants to practitioners, themselves
volunteers, in rendering legal services through neighborhood houses and
other social agencies in various parts of the city.
RECREATION AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
The law student soon learns the truth of the old saying that "the law
is a jealous mistress." He will not be able to indulge extensively in
amusements or spend much time in social events. Nevertheless, no man
or woman can accomplish a maximum of work without a reasonable
amount of recreation.
Organized social activities at the Law School are sponsored by the
69
�Junior Bar Association and by the several legal fraternities. In addition
to the coffee hours, the Association holds a dance for all students once
each semester.
Chapters of three national legal fraternities-Phi Alpha Delta, Phi
Delta Phi, and Tau Epsilon Rho-and one legal sorority-Kappa Beta Pi
-have been established at the Law School. Members do not live or eat
together, and lines are not sharply drawn. The fraternities do, however,
arrange for a number of occasions which have professional as well as
recreational value. They hold luncheons during the course of the year
with addresses by nationally and locally prominent lawyers, judges, and
public officials. And they sponsor dances and informal parties. None of
these groups follows any discriminatory membership policy.
A program of intramural athletics involving the legal fraternities and
other groups on the campus offers participation in organized sports, and
nearby beaches, golf courses, and other facilities are available for individual recreation. Tickets are offered at reduced rates for the University's intercollegiate athletic programs on the undergraduate campus in
Evanston.
Many opportunities for entertainment and cultural pursuits afforded
in a city such as Chicago are close at hand.
STUDENT WIVES
A useful auxiliary of the Junior Bar Association is the organization
of the wives of Law School students. A substantial number of the student body are married.
At the social gatherings of the Law Wives, the student's wife can visit
with faculty wives, discuss matters of common interest, and spend a
pleasant evening during her husband's long hours in the library. To help
her to understand the work that demands so much of her husband's time
and attention, the law wife may enjoy an informal talk by one of the
faculty members on the vicissitudes of law study or a legal problem of
general interest. Occasionally professors have conducted abbreviated
versions of their Law School courses for the student wives to give them
a first-hand view of the educational process in which their husbands are
so deeply involved.

ADMISSION,
TUITION,
FEES , AND
FINANCIAL AID
Every year the Law School draws many hundreds of applications
for admission from every state in America and from abroad. In recent
years there have been five or more applicants for each place in the entering class.
As a private institution Northwestern must rely principally upon
tuition income and gifts from alumni and others to meet the not inconsiderable expenses of maintaining the faculty, library, and other
facilities of a law school of the first rank. Fortunately, a substantial
portion of the gifts made to the University and the Law Sch ool is available to provide fina n cial assistance to students in need of it.
ADMISSION
The admission policies of Northwestern University are not predicated
upon any consideration whatever of race, color, or creed, but completely
upon the competence of the individual.
Since its early years the Law School has followed a policy of selective
admission to preserve its character as a cohesive academic community of
modest size and to assure continued educational standards of the highest
order. In consequence, the School is unable to accept many applicants
who are capable of successfully completing legal studies an d qualifying
for the practice of law.
71
�Applicants are selected for admission upon the basis of demonstrated
scholarship, intellectual capacity, and qualities of character requisite to
the profession. The School endeavors to admit only those applicants
whose records indicate that they will successfully complete the course of
study.
MAKING APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
Application forms and information concernin g adm ission requ irem ents may be obtained by writing to th e Office of Admissions, Northwestern University School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago,
Illinois 60611.
Students beginning the study of law enter the School at the opening of
the first semester in September.
Before enrollment the student must have obtained a Bachelor's degree
from an approved college or university.
The application form must be supplemented by a transcript from
each college or university attended. Except in unusual cases transcripts
should not be supplied until they include a record of three full academic
years. If the application is approved, the applicant is asked to supply
a final transcript certifying the award of a Bachelor's degree unless the
transcripts originally submitted contain that certification.
The application must also be supported by a report of the applicant's
score on the Law School Admission Test. This Law School joined with
several other schools is sponsoring the development of this test, which
is designed to measure the student's general aptitude for the study
of law. Information on how to arrange to take the test, administered
by the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, is supplied
with the admission forms. The test may be taken either before or after
the forms are filed, although an applicant for admission in September
should ordinarily plan to register for either the test given in the fall or
the test given in the winter of the preceding academic year. The Educational Testing Service should be requested to report the applicant's score
directly to the School of Law.
An applicant is also asked to submit recommendations on forms furnished by the School from two college or university instructors. The
application fee is $ 15.00.
VISITS TO THE SCHOOL
An applicant need not appear for a personal interview unless requested by the Committee on Admissions. Prospective students are invited and encouraged, however, to visit the School. Ordinarily if the
School is in session, arrangements can be rriade for the visitor to attend
a regular class session. The School would appreciate the visitor telephon72
�ing or writing in advance to the Secretary of Admissions for an appointment.
During the normal college vacation periods, the number of prospective students wishing to visit the School is large. This fact and the
large volume of admissions mail and other business in these periods
make it almost impossible to give extended personal attention to visitors
at these times. The School holds an open house during the Christmas
holiday and all applicants are urged to visit the School on that occasion.
Each year a number of applicants seek personal interviews with the
aim of thus enhancing their chances of gaining admission. Although
the Admissions staff is always happy to answer questions to the best of
its ability, applicants should be aware that decisions are made by the
Committee on Admissions and that the only effective way to ensure full
Committee consideration of special circumstances is to append a written
statement of them to the application form .
The Secretary of Admissions is ordinarily available to speak with
visitors and can answer authoritatively or secure answers to questions
not answered by this bulletin or other printed material.
WHEN TO APPLY
The completed application form may be submitted at any time during
the twelve months preceding the expected date of entrance. Early application is advisable. It is not necessary to wait until the transcripts, test
score, and recommendations can be supplied before filing the application. Applicants wishing to apply for financial assistance should refer
to the information given on page 78.
Applications are considered and acted upon as soon as the supporting
information has been received. Determinations are made upon a balanced evaluation of the applicant's college record and the Law School
Admission Test score, supplemented by the required recommendations
and other information bearing on his capacity and qualification for law
study. Each applicant is considered carefully and individually. The trend
of undergraduate achievement, performance in particular fields and
courses, and the demands and influence of other activities and personal
circumstances are weighed and taken into account. Every doubtful application is thoroughly discussed and examined by a committee of faculty
members, which may seek further information from the applicant, his
college, or his professors.
Each applicant who is accepted for admission, whether or not he has
been awarded financial assistance, is required to make a deposit of $50.00
by April 1 of the year of entrance or within thirty clays after notice of
acceptance, whichever is later. Upon registration the deposit is applied
toward the payment of tuition or fees.
73
�No applicant previously enrolled in another law school is admitted
either as a beginning student or as a transfer student if he is ineligible
to continue study at that school.
TRANSFER
The admission of students previously enrolled in other law schools
who wish to become candidates for the degree of Juris Doctor depends
upon the applicant's achievements in law study as well as upon the factors
which control the admission of beginning students. Generally stated, the
standard requires a highly creditable law school record.
Transfer applicants should submit the application form with the
$15.00 application fee, transcripts from each college and university
attended, including the law school from which transfer is contemplated,
and two recommendations from former instructors, at least one a law
school instructor. A statement of law school class standing also should be
submitted, and the Law School Admission Test score report must be
furnished.
The granting of credit for courses completed in other schools and the
allowance of advanced standing rest within the discretion of the Dean of
the School. In no event is transfer credit given for law school work in
schools which are not members of the Association of American Law
Schools or for courses in which the student received a grade below C or
its equivalent.
SUMMER SESSION
A student enrolled in another law school may be admitted for the
Summer Session upon a certificate of good standing from the school in
which he is permanently enrolled. Information concerning the Summer
Session may be obtained by writing to the Registrar of the School after
January 1 of the year in question.
PRE-LEGAL STUDY
A Bachelor's degree in arts or science is required for admission to the
Law School, but no specific fields of major study or particular courses are
prescribed. The purpose of the requirement is to provide the prospective
lawyer with a sound liberal education for the discharge of his broader
professional responsibilities as well as to provide a foundation for law
school training. Since the reach of the law's concerns may be as wide as
the range of human behavior, no particular course of undergraduate
study confers a special advantage in the law.
College curricula vary, the content of courses bearing the same title
may be dissimilar, and teaching attitudes and emphases differ. Accordingly suggestions must be general. Courses in such fields as history, eco74
�nomics, anthropology, sociology, government, and political sCience may
help the student to understand the structure of society and the problems
of social ordering with which the law is concerned. Studies in philosophy
and literature may impart a familiarity with the traditions of thought
that have influenced legal developments. The examination of human
behavior in courses in psychology and its analysis through statistical
method may also prove worthwhile.
In developing the capacities and skills of the lawyer, the college student should pursue studies that enhance his power to express himself with clarity and force. English, foreign language courses, and public
speaking can be recommended, but the capacities may be developed as
well in other courses in which written work of high quality is demanded.
For the systematic ordering of abstractions and ideas, the physical, natural, and mathematical sciences, in addition to logic, are suggested.
Apart from subject matter the student preparing for the study of law
should take courses of sufficient difficulty to try his capacities to the
utmost to assist in the development of the rigorous intellectual discipline
essential to success in law school. He would be well advised, in addition,
to pursue his studies far enough in some definite field to attain a mastery
of the subject. The typical student is more likely to extend himself
and thereby to increase his capacities for law study if he follows the
bent of his own interests and tastes.
It is perhaps advisable, however, for the prospective law student to
avoid undergraduate courses in law designed for men preparing for other
callings and duplicating law school work. Ordinarily the time and effort
are better spent in studies in other fields.
In general, the undergraduate college student is best advised not to try
to prepare particularly and narrowly for his law school studies, but to
prepare for his life as a lawyer by obtaining the best available general
education. He will find that what is best for law school is also the best
in liberal education-a course of study that develops in the student the
capacity to understand, to think for himself, and to express himself
effectively.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
The cost of a year of law study varies with the needs, habits, and circumstances of the student. As a base from which individual estimates may be
drawn, the sum of $3200 approximates the total expense for the academic year
of the average unmarried student residing in Abbott Hall, the Law School
dormitory. Of this total about $1850 is required for tuition, fees, books, and
supplies. The remainder represents the typical expenditure for room, board,
and personal needs.
75
�TUITION
The student's total investment in his legal education, although large in absolute terms, is insubstantial in comparison with its total r eturns in the decades
of his professional life. Short-term econ omies often prove was teful in th e long
run. In th e inter ests of its students the L aw Sch ool h as mad e every effort to
hold down the costs, but in the sam e inter ests it h as refused to sacrifice any
of the elem ents of a legal edu cation of the h igh est quality. The cost of each
student's edu cation is onl y partly cover ed b y his tuition p ayments. A substantial portion is paid from income fro m endowmen ts and from an nu al gifts of
alumni an d friends of Northwestern.
Tuition for the academic year 1968-69 is as fo llows:

PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
Tui tion and fees are paid by semesters, rather than by the full academic
year. Payments are du e in the first few weeks after the commencement of the
term upon the date specified in the statement sent to each student after registratio n. The Cashier's Office, conveniently loca ted on the first floor of Abbott
Hall, receives these payments.
The Division of Student Finance, on the first floor of Abbott Hall, issues
the statements and makes all adjustments.
WITHDRAWAL AND REFUNDS
Official withdrawal forms are availa ble from the Registrar of the School
of Law. Students who withdraw before the end of one-fourth of the term are
held for one-fourth of the tuition for the term. Students who withdraw after
the first one-fourth of the term and before the middle of the term are held for
one-half of the tuition for the term. Students who withdraw after the middle
of the term are held for full tuition. R egardless of the time of withdrawal,
students are held for all fees. In the case of exclusion for nonpayment of
tuition, the same charges are made in accordance with the above schedule. In
all cases either the date on which the student withdrew from classes and filed
a written withdrawal notice with the R egistrar of the Law School or the date
of formal exclusion is used in figuring any adjustment on tuition.
REBATES TO FACULTY, STAFF, AND INSTRUCTORS
Undergraduate and gradu ate students in the following categories are eligible
to app ly for certain tuition rebates of up to 50 percent: (a) full-time faculty
1 1n many courses it is necessary to supply mimeographed materials to supplement assigned case books. This flat charge covers the cost of supplies and labor to prepare such supplementary material. In a few courses mimeographed materials are prepared by the instructor to replace completely
an assigned casebook. In those instances where the volume of material is substantial an additional
charge ( less than the cost of the usual casebook) is made. In neither situation is there any charge
made for the time of the instructor and his secretarial assisrnn Ls spe nt in research, editing, and
cutting the stencils for the materials.
77
�and staff m embers listed on the r egular twelve-month payroll of the University;
(b) dependent sons and daughters of such persons ; (c) full-time employees of
affilia ted institutions; (d) gradu ate studen ts appoi nted as instructors and teaching part-time at N orthwestern.
Information concernin g these rebates and application blanks are available
at the Student Finance Office, Abbott H all. Applications must be filed with
that office before r egistration each term.
Studen ts should call for the rebate checks at th e Division of Student Fin ance, Abbott Hall, one day before their tuition bills become due. R ebate
checks are applicable on tuition charges only and cannot be accepted in payment of other fees.
STUDENT DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
The University maintains a student deposit account at the Cashier's Office,
Abbott H all, as an accommoda tion to students. Students may wri te only counter
checks payable to themselves against their deposits. There is no charge for this
service, and no interest is paid on d eposits.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
If a student h as the ability and motivation necessary for the study of
law, the School is committed to providing all possible assistance so
that he can reach his educational goals. Through scholarships, loans, and
a limited amount of p art-time work, many students are able to complete
their law studies at Northwestern with a minimum of initial savings or
outside financial aid.
Approximately one-third of the School's entering students receive
financial assistance in the form of scholarships or loans. The amounts
of the awards vary from a portion of tuition to full tuition plus a stipend
for subsistence. Ordinarily an award of financial assistance to a first-year
student is renewed for his second and third years of law study provided
he maintains a creditable class standing and his financial situation rem ains unchanged.
All or part of an .award may be made subject to an obligation of
repayment after graduation. In these cases, repayment is ordinarily
made on an installment basis during the first few years following graduation. Interest does not accrue until the end of the first year after
graduation, and thereafter the rate is low.
Awards of financial assistance are made upon the basis of academic
promise and need. Each application is individually considered by a committee of faculty members and each award is determined by an individual
78
�appraisal of the student's qualifications for law study and monetary
needs. For students of exceptional ability who have adequate resources
for law study, a limited number of honorary scholarships are awarded
annually in recognition of pre-legal achievement. These special scholarships, described below, carry only a nominal financial award, so that
available funds may be devoted to the assistance of students who otherwise would be unable to study law.
MAKING APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE
Application forms for financial assistance may be obtained by writing
to the Office of Admissions of the Law School. Special application forms
are required for the Clarion DeWitt Hardy Scholarships, described below.
An application for financial assistance need not accompany the application for admission, but should be submitted as early as possible and in
any event not later than March 1 of the year of proposed entrance. Information on when to apply for admission appears on page 73.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS
In addition to substantial sums provided by the University and to
the generous annual gifts of Law alumni for scholarship purposes in the
Law School the following special scholarships and awards are available:
Clarion DeWitt Hardy Scholarships in Law. Scholarships providing
for tuition and for an additional amount up to $1,000 for expenses, depending upon the needs of the student, are available for several students
in each entering class. The amount is sufficient with average summer
earnings to enable the student to meet all typical costs of an academic
year. The scholarships are renewed each year for scholars who maintain
a good record and meet the other standards of the program. The scholarships are in honor of the late Professor Clarion DeWitt Hardy of the
School of Speech and were established by Owen L. Coon, an alumnus
who died in 1948, in memory of the man "who contributed most" to his
education. The purpose of the scholarships is to assist able students
whose desire to enter the legal profession includes the objective of devoting a part of their lives to public service. Requirements, in addition

forensic and writing ability, and leadership qualities. Funds are provided by the Owen L. Coon Foundation, and the Hardy Scholarship
Committee of the faculty administers the program.

of 1919, made a gift of $ 10,000 to the Law School in 1966 to establish a
fund in memory of his wife, Amy Eloise Wright. Income from the fund
is used to provide scholarships for needy or worthy students.
Harold Hoon Wo Wong Scholarship. Mrs. Harold Hoon v\To Wong
made a gift of $3,000 to the Law School in 1967 in memory of her late
husband, Harold Hoon v\To Wong of the Class of 1916. Income from the
gift provides scholarship support for a student from Hawaii selected
by the Dean from among those enrolled in the School. In years when
no award is made, income is added to principal.
L. Shirley Tark Scholarship. The income from a fund of $35,000,
given by L. Shirley Tark of the Class of 1916, is awarded annually to a
student in the Law School selected by the Dean.
LOANS
Among the sources of Law School loan funds are the Charles Shapiro
and Morris Robert Shapiro Loan Fund, the Raoul Berger Law Loan
Fund, the Mrs. J. N. Raymond Law School Fund, the Edward P.
Summbers Law Loan Fund, and the Law School Foundation Loan Funds.
In 1966, the partners of Barnet Hodes '21 in the firm of Arvey, Hodes
and Man tynband made a gift of $6,500 in honor of Mr. Hodes' 65th
birthday, to be used for loans to deserving students in need of financial
assistance.
In 1965, the American Bar Association and the American Law Student
Association made appropriations to the American Bar Association Fund
for Legal Education in order to establish a loan program for assistance
to law students a t schools approved by the American Bar Association.
Inquiries concerning the terms and conditions of these loans should be
directed to the Office of Admissions.
Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity has inaugurated a program of offering loans from its Endowment Fund to worthy student members of the
fraternity who need such aid to complete their law school educa tion.
The maximum amount of such loans is $500.

GRADUATE STUDY: ADMISSION AND
FELLOWSHIPS
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY AND TO CANDIDACY
FOR ADV AN CED DEGREES
The admission of students who have been awarded a first degree in
law to graduate study or to candidacy for the degree of Master of Laws or
Doctor of Juridical Science is a matter which rests within the discretion
of the Committee on Graduate Studies.
Although foreign graduate students whose native language is not
English are eligible for admission as graduate students, they normally
are not admitted as candidates for a degree until they have completed
one semester's work as gradua te students and have demonstrated during
that time their capacity to complete successfully the degree requirements.
Experience indicates that foreign students whose native language is
not English have great difficulty in meeting the requirements unless they
have a good command of written and spoken English.
The School's gradua te degrees are described fully on pages 58-59.
Application forms and additional information may be secured by writing
to the Committee on Graduate Studies, Northwestern University School
of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES
Full information concerning tuition and fees for graduate stud y
appears on pages 75-77 of the bulletin.
The expenses of an unmarried student for the academic year, includ85
�ing books, board and room and incidentals (but excluding tuition and
fees) should approximate $1,800 to $2,000.
Accommodations for both married and unmarried graduate students
are available on the University's Chicago campus.
FELLOWSHIPS IN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES
In 1957, the Ford Foundation made a grant to the Law School for
expansion of its program in International Legal Studies. The sum of
$7,600 a year is specifically made available for two graduate fellowships
for two foreign lawyers and students. Applicants interested in pursuing
international legal studies as their major interest are given preference
in the awarding of these Ford Fellowships.
The Law School has long been interested in international law and
related subjects. The late Dean Wigmore inaugurated this interest and
laid the foundation for a substantial collection of international and
foreign law materials available in the Law Library. For many years the
School has offered a basic introductory course in International Law.
The School has also offered courses and seminars in International Organization, International Business Transactions, Comparative Law, Admiralty, and Common Market.
The James Nelson Raymond Fellowship is awarded on a competitive
basis to applicants, domestic or foreign, interested in any field of legal
study, including international legal studies.
The amount of each fellowship is $3,800. From that amount tuition
and fees are deducted. The amount of the fellowship award, after these
deductions, is paid in ten installments, the first being available on
September 15.
Since 1961 the General Electric Foundation has made an annual grant
of $5,000 for research in the field of problems of international and foreign
antitrust law.
More information on the Program of International Legal Studies
appears on page 57.
CRIMINAL LAW FELLOWSHIPS
1. Police Legal Advisor Program
Through the generosity of the Ford Foundation, a number of fellowships are available each year for the next three years for recent law
school graduates with an interest in careers as Police Legal Advisors.
The objective of this Program is to train young lawyers for positions
which may be described generally as "house counsel" to metropolitan
police departments or to groups of police departments in rural areas.
The period of training under a fellowship grant is ten months, the first
four of which are spent in residence at the Law School and th e next six
86
�months in the field. Fellowship amounts range up to $4,000 plus tuition
for the four months in residence and up to $4,500 for the six months
of the field training.
Fellowship rec ipients may begin their legal studies either in the first
semester (September) of each school year or in the second semester
(February) .
lVIore inlormation on the Police Legal Advisor Program appears on
page 56.
2. Pro~ecution and Defense Program
Fellowships are also available for recent law school graduates with
interest in careers as prosecutors or defense counsel in criminal cases.
The period of training is two years-the first year is spent in residence at
the Law School (with part-time service in the local prosecutor or defense
office), and in the second year the student serves full time in a prosecutor
or defense office. At the end of the two-year period, participants in the
Program are eligible for the Master of Laws degree.
Fellowships for this Program are awarded in amounts up to $7,000 a
year and are considered tax exempt. Students may begin studies in either
the first or second semester.
More information on the Criminal Law Program appears on page 56.
GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS
Additional information concerning the fellowships described above,
including application requirements, filing deadlines, and award dates,
may be obtained by writing to the Committee on Graduate Studies of
the Law School.
Normally, fello-wships are not awarded to foreign students who already
have spent a year in this country under another scholarship grant. Fellowships are granted for one year only.
None of the graduate fellowships described above contains provisions
for travel expenses. Students must make their own travel arrangements.
Successful fellowship applicants should also bring sufficient funds for
personal expenses from the time of arrival until September 15.

THE SCHOOL
AND ITS
ALUMNI
The bonds formed in the years of study at the Law School are enduring ones. The School through its Placement Service offers assistance
to the graduate in finding a position which promises satisfaction both in
economic terms and in terms of self-realization and contribution. And
the School's alumni band together both to keep alive memories and
friendships of student da ys and to provide the support so important
to the School.
PLACEMENT
At graduation the Northwestern law student JOms the century-long
procession of Law School alumni. A wide range of choice is open. To
provide its graduates with advice, guidance, and a broad selection of
opportunities for their legal careers, the Law School maintains a placement service under the direction of Assistant Dean Lewis F. Treleaven.
Through general announcements to the profession and particular
inquiries, the Placement Service gathers information on professional
opportunities and openings. The Placement Service compiles a com88
�plete listing of these opportumt1es, maintains files for the use of prospective graduates, and posts announcements of new openings to keep the
student's information current.
That the bars are overcrowded has been repeated in each generation.
But the demand for well trained able young lawyers h as not diminished,
and the rising level of starting salaries gives evidence of the professional
need. Each year the Placement Service receives inquiries and requests
from law firms, corporations, and government agencies for many times the
number of available graduates.
A majority of the Law School's alumni are engaged in the private
practice of law. Some have chosen to remain in Chicago, while others
have settled in cities and towns throughout the United States. In large
firms and in individual practice Northwestern graduates rank as leaders
of the bar in nearly every state in the nation and in several foreign countries. In service to their profession as well as their clients they have occupied the presidencies of the American, state, and local bar associations.
Not all alumni elect the rewards of private practice. Furthering a
strong tradition of public service, a number of men in each graduating
class accept positions with government at the national, state, or local
level. Working with prosecuting and investigating agencies, on government boards and commissions, and on the staffs of government departments, these men are often vested with major responsibilities and acquire
wide experience early in their professional lives. After a period of
government service many enter private practice, where their experience
in government is of great value. Others make public service a career and
attain high public office, elective or appointive.
The roster of Law School alumni includes governors and United
States Senators, cabinet members, department heads, diplomats, mayors,
attorney-generals, prosecutors, legislators, and government advisers.
The strength of the Northwestern tradition of public service is illustrated by a striking statistic: in more than half the Presidential campaigns of the past seventy years a Law School alumnus has been either
the candidate or a strong contender for the nomination of one of the
two major parties.
In the judiciary Northwestern men have served with distinction on
the benches of the highest courts, both federal and state. For the topranking students there are opportunities for clerkships with justices and
judges of the federal and state courts.
Openings in the field of law teaching are not numerous, and the
fin a ncial rewards are not great; however, through the years Northwestern,
for its size, has contributed more than its share of the nation's law
teachers. Its graduates h ave joined the faculties of nearly all the major
law schools in the United States, and many Northwestern men have
89
�Alumni gather in the Law School garden for a reunion.
served as deans, university presidents, and leaders in other branches of
education.
An expanding field of opportunity beyond the limits of traditional
practice is offered the Law School graduate interested in business, industry, and finance. In increasing recognition of the values of legal training,
corporations, banks, and companies in a wide range of enterprise have
come to seek Law School graduates not only for their legal staffs but for
executive positions as well. Attractive starting salaries and opportunities
90
�for advancement in management have combined to draw a substantial
number of graduates of the Law School. Alumni have risen to principal
executive posts in many of the nation's largest corporations in such fields
as transporation, oil, retailing, insurance, finance, public utilities, and
manufacturing.
From the array of professional opportunities open to him, the graduating student must choose for himself. It is the function of the Law
School's Placement Service to aid him in exploring the possibilities and to
arrange the necessary contacts.
Each year a large number of law firms from major cities throughout
the United States send partners to the Law School to interview advanced
students. Government agencies, corporations, and banks also send representatives to the School for interviews. In addition to the hundreds of
personal interviews conducted annually at the Law School, Placement
Service arranges for interviews of students in large numbers at law offices,
government agencies, and corporate headquarters.
A biographical summary is prepared and duplicated for each prospective graduate seeking a position, and appropriate letters of introduction
and recommendation are furnished.
Beyond its service to current graduates, the Placement Service also
handles the temporary placement of students with law firms and government agencies for summer vacation periods, in Chicago and elsewhere,
typically between the student's second and third years, and the placement
of alumni of earlier years who are returning from military service or are
seeking a change of position.
THE LAW ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Over the years the Law School has enjoyed the loyal support of its
alumni. They commemorated the Law School's centennial by contributing substantially to the construction of Robert R. McCormick Hall and
the Owen L. Coon Library, and their generous annual gifts to the Law
Alumni Fund provide scholarships and significant support for the general
program of the School.
Many alumni assist directly in the educational program. A number
serve as judges in the Moot Court program. In addition, alumni are
frequently asked to draw upon their practical experience and special
knowledge in particular fields of law by participating in course work
or addressing student groups. They render invaluable assistance in connection with the placement program.
Each year alumni reunions are held during the meetings of the American Bar Association and various state bar associations. In addition, an
alumni dinner is held each spring in Chicago with a prominent guest
speaker. Also, a faculty-alumni luncheon is held in Chicago each fall.
