The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

No end is in

sight
for the
demand for
a
legal
education. The number of
would-be
lawyers has
quadrupled in the past ten
years and, if the trend
continues, will double again
in the next decade. Four
factors-population growth,
college attendance, career
choice and
women
influenced this increase.
If the
population explosion has
subsided, the lawyer explosion has
just begun. In ten years, the demand
for legal education has increased
four-fold, and the end is not in sight.
During the 1960-61 academic year,
some 23,796 law-school applicants
took the Law School Admission Test.
Ten years later, by 1970-71, the
number had grown to 107,147.

Much of this increased demand
for
legal
education
can be explained,
by four factors:
1) Population growth. The college
senior of 1971 was a product of the
baby boom following World War
II. Compared with births 10 years
earlier, the rising birth rate brought a
50-per-cent increase in the population

Six years ago, said Rahl, realizing that
the school was at a critical point with
reference to size, the faculty voted to limit
the freshman class to about 175 students.
"As one of the smaller schools among
the nation's top nine law schools," said the
dean, "we think that we are as large as we
should become. We now have a degree of
faculty-student contact which is not pos
sible at larger schools. The size of the
full-time faculty is to increase from 34 to
50 by the end of the decade, while we
maintain the same number of students,
thus making the faculty-student ratio one

"We are paying very careful attention
to the applications of sons and daughters
of our alumni," the dean said. "In view of
discussions we have had recently with some
of you
on
this matter, I asked the Admis
study all applications for the
sions Office to
present entering class. They have reported
figures showing that actually a high per
centage of the applicants who were known
to be children of alumni were admitted; a
small percentage were unavoidably denied
because of low test scores and grades. The
fact of this
relationship is, and will be,
given weight. We cannot guarantee admis

minimum test scores and grade-point
averages pertaining to the whole applicant

to know of the relationship. That office

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

After Dean Booth retired in 1891, the Dean's
chair was held successively by Judge Henry W. Blodgett,
who served only one year, Henry Wade Rogers, Presi
dent of the University, who also served as Acting Dean
from 1892 to 1898, and Judge Peter S. Grosscup whose
tenure lasted for three years. Finally, in the fall of 1901,
the school again acquired a full-time dean when John
Henry Wigmore was appointed Dean in the full sense
of the word, after serving one week as Acting Dean. As
anyone with the slightest connection with the law school
knows full well, Wigmore served as Dean from 1901
until 1929, when he was succeeded by Leon Green, then
a member of the Yale Law School faculty. Dean Green
was succeeded in turn by Harold C. Havighurst, who
had been a member of the Northwestern faculty since
1932. Dean Havighurst continued as Dean until 1957
when he returned to full-time teaching and was succeeded
by Dean Ritchie, who came to us from the Deanship of
the University of Wisconsin Law School.

John
Henry Wigmore
Dean, 1901-29
Dean Emeritus, 1929-43
Like everything else in the administration of a uni
versity these days, the selection of a law school dean is
a considerably more
complicated process than that in
volved in the selection of John Henry Wigmore in 1901.
Last spring Chancellor Miller constituted a committee
consisting of three members of the faculty elected by the
faculty, two members of the alumni chosen by the Chan
cellor, and one member of the student body selected by
the students. The Committee consists of Mr. John J.
Crown and Mr. William W. McKittrick as the representa
tives of the alumni, Miss Barbara A. Caulfield as the
representative of the student body and Professors Thomas
L. Eovaldi, Nathaniel L. Nathanson and Harry B. Reese
as the
representatives of the faculty. Professor Nathanson
was designated by Chancellor Miller as Chairman of the
Committee. The Committee is charged with the respon
sibility of recommending several suitable prospects or
candidates to the Chancellor, who will in turn recom
mend one of these to the Trustees or ask for additional
recommendations. The Committee, after soliciting rec
ommendations from alumni, faculty and the student body,
is now engaged in considering, with the help of the fac
ulty and students, a wide range of distinguished possibil
ities. If only the increasing complexity of the
process
provided assurance of equal success in the outcome,
what a fine world this would be!

The first volumes in the Inbau Law Enforcement Series
have been published by the Chilton Book Company.
At present the series consists of 4 volumes: Criminal
Law for the Police and Criminal Law for the Layman
by Fred E. Inbau and Marvin E. Aspen; Fingerprints
and the Law and Fingerprint Techniques by Andre A.
Moenssens. Professor Inbau is general editor of the
series.
Criminal Law for the Police defines in simple concise
terms all the police officer needs to know about arrest
and interrogation procedures
legal risks and liability
of the police
and the specific laws governing such
crimes as murder, robbery, rape, theft, riot, narcotics,
gambling, and trial tampering.
Criminal Law for the Layman is a handbook contain
ing all the information one needs to be aware of the
legal controls against crime and about legal safeguards
for those accused of crime.
The rights of citizens, police, and criminals receive
attention under all points of law. Crimes, from the least
offensive to the heinous, are described so that the citi
zen knows precisely what constitutes each-whether it
is a misdemeanor or felony. The authors use simple
typical examples to demonstrate criminal offenses. About
half the book deals with juvenile law.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

MODIFIED "PASS-FAIL" GRADING SYSTEM ADOPTED
a number of students from all three classes
ad hoc Committee on Grade Reform for the
organized
purpose of recommending substantial changes in the
Law School's grading system. After extensive research
ing, the Committee submitted a report to the Faculty,
pointing out "deficiencies" in the then existing numer
ical system, and suggesting alternative grading systems.
In its report to the Faculty, the Committee cited two
serious failings.
"Neither does the grading provide incentive for con
tinuous development over three years nor does it give a
student a meaningful evaluation of his performance on
exams.
Grades create an elite among the members of
the first year class and relegate everyone else to an
undistinguished rung on a ladder of mediocrity
by
making grades the sole source of incentive and evalu

narrowly; significant numbers of students must always
fail to achieve."

�NORTHWESTERN MOOT COURT TEAMS ACHIEVE
NATIONAL PROMINENCE
Six years ago Northwestern Law School's voluntary
programs were seriously ill and the prognosis
was guarded.
The intramural second year program ex
cited scant enthusiasm among students. Furthermore, no
Northwestern team of advocates had ever survived the
regional eliminations in the prestigious National Moot
Court Competition, sponsored for third year law students
by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York.
Today things are different. Northwestern's Julius H.
Miner Moot Court Competition, endowed by the family
of the late Judge Miner and by John Crown, Esq.,
is one of the most distinguished moot court programs in
the law school world. And for six consecutive years a
Northwestern team has been a finalist in the regional
rounds of the national competition, thus qualifying for
participation in the nationwide finals held annually in
New York City. A year ago the finalist teams in the re
gion-Illinois and Michigan-were both from North
western. To top it all off, this year a Northwestern team
was one of the finalists in New York, coming in ahead of
teams from well over 100 American law schools. It was
a long way to come in six years.
The man who knows the most about those six years
is Professor Jon R. Waltz who, after spending those six
years organizing and advising the Law School's moot
court participants, is passing the job along to Professor
Robert Bennett in order to devote more time to research
and writing. (Mr. Waltz has just completed a treatise,
Medical Jurisprudence, with Professor Inbau and is now
at work on a revision of Dean Wigmore's student text on
evidence. ) He looks back with undisguised pleasure on
his six years at the helm. "I've had very little to do with
the success of the moot court programs," he insists.
"After all, 1 couldn't argue the cases, and 1 couldn't
write the briefs for our people. The students, given some
guidance here and there, made these programs effective.
About all 1 did was get prouder of the competitors every
year- and that's fun, not work."
A man, now in private practice, who was on the first
of Professor Waltz's national teams says, "That sounds
like him! He always insists that he's an incurable egotist
and then he won't take credit for anything. But he abso
lutely made both of these programs, the Miner and the
nationals. He spent I don't know how many man hours
getting things organized, then lecturing on brief-writing
and oral argument from the standpoint of a guy who
knew how to do it beautifully himself, and then so ob
viously caring how we made out. 1 can't explain it pre
cisely but he always made us want to do well, partly for
us and partly for him."
A more recent veteran of both the Miner Competi
tion and the national contest told the Reporter, "Part of
his secret was in telling us that we were not to engage in
cut-throat competition against others. Each Northwest
ern team member was to
compete against himself, to
demonstrate to himself how competent he could be in
the courtroom. He taught us how to be advocates
and in the process, 1 think, he taught us more about legal
ethics than anyone else at the Law School."
Professor Waltz keeps in close touch with "his people"
after they graduate, and especially with those who have
gone into military service. Of those now in civilian life.
he reports, "Most of the best of them are in private prac
tice with top-level law firms and they're doing trial and
appellate work. They're all over everywhere-San Fran
cisco to New York. Quite a few have gone into govern
ment. One of my first national team members holds a
sub-Cabinet position in the present Administration, an
other tries civil rights cases for the Justice Department.
One of the most impressive graduates of these programs
is with the Public Defender Office in Cleveland, Ohio. 1
tell these men and women that they can find satisfaction
in any phase of our profession if only they'll bring to it
high competence and integrity. Those are really large
orders but good moot court experience shows law stu
dents how important they both are."
Asked to list what he thinks are the principal advan
tages of training in Northwestern's moot court programs,
Mr. Waltz made these comments:
"First, of course, training in solving concrete legal
problems, which involves both thorough research and
hard thinking.
"Then there's training in effective written and oral
communication-the writing of a brief and the presenta
tion of oral arguments. Jack Ritchie constantly insists
that the ability to communicate ideas comprehensibly is
the lawyer's main art and 1 think he is unquestionably
moot court
correct.
"Finally, I'll mention what 1 call 'the fear of the un
known.' Moot court experience helps to remove this
fear by letting men and women argue a complex case
in court before they're confronted with the real thing. It
lets them discover that they're entitled to a little healthy
self-confidence. Some awfully scared young people have
suddently found out how genuinely effective they can be.
"1 think I'll also mention the matter of administrative
responsibility, too, because our moot court programs are
now entirely student administered.
It quickly got to the
point that I didn't even have to handle the arrangements
for visiting Supreme Court justices. I turned that over to
the students. Frankly, 1 think it's very interesting that
one of the Law School's most important, most compli
cated and most sensitive programs is administered by the
students and that they do a flawless job of it."
With, over the past six years, "some guidance here
and there" from Jon Waltz.

Team being congratulated by Justice Potter Stewart, United
States Supreme Court.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

Professor Waltz's assessment was confirmed by Justice

told the student lawyers following the final round, "I only
wish that in our Supreme Court we could operate on the

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

This digital collection was the vision of David S. Ruder, and the digitatization was funded by his generous support. Professor Ruder was the William W. Gurley Memorial Professor of Law Emeritus. A member of the Northwestern Law faculty since 1961, Professor Ruder was Dean of the Law School from 1977-1985, and Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission from 1987-1989. He remained a part of the Law School faculty until his passing in 2020.
