5 Colonial Law. 1 (1974)

handle is hein.journals/colaw5 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COLONIAL LAWYER VOLUME 5, NUMBER 1 SPRING, 1974 CONTENTS Editorial Board: Michael J. Cassidy Leslie A. Hoffmann R. Alan Karch Gerald J. Kirkpatrick John N. Miri Gregory Pomije Charles E. Poston Staff: Daralyn Gordon Philip Paschall Contributors: Michael J. Cassidy Edward E. Flippen Joseph A. Miri William F. Swindler From the Board Last year The Colonial Lawyer attempted to place greater emphasis on alumni of the law school. It was our feeling that the professional activities and accomplishments of alumni were of interest to stu- dents and faculty as well as other alumni. The re- sponses received from individual alumni have been pleasing and, in some cases, flattering to the edi- torial staff. As the emphasis on alumni coverage increased, so did questions concerning the propriety of serving an alumni audience with a magazine financed en- tirely by student funds. This year the College Board of Student Affairs, feeling that this publication should be financed partly from other sources, reduced The Colonial Lawyer budget by approximately thirty-five per cent. When this budget cut was made, the Edi- torial Board asked the Student Bar Association's Di- rector of Alumni Relations to explore the possibility of obtaining additional financing from the law school alumni organization. The Director later reported that the alumni organization, as a matter of policy, would not provide financial support for any student publi- cation. This financial situation has caused the Editorial Board to reconsider the role of The Colonial Lawyer 1. From The Board: Editorial Statement 2. Constitutionality of Zoning Ordinances Which Exclude Mobile Homes -Edward L. Flippen 7. Coming: National Center For State Courts -William F. Swindler 8. Virginia Attempts To Reorganize Its Environmental Agencies --Joseph A. Miri in the law school community. Because this publica- tion is financed solely by student funds and also be- cause the alumni organization publishes its own news- letter, we concluded that it was improper to provide alumni coverage at the students' sole expense. We also concluded that our alumni coverage might at times duplicate material appearing in the alumni or- ganization's newsletter. Consequently, this issue will be the last one mailed to alumni. We hope that the alumni organization will pass on to the students and faculty of the law school newsworthy items of alumni achievements and activities. This issue of The Colonial Lawyer offers several articles which will be of interest to both the present law school community and alumni alike. An article by third-year law student Edward Flippen examines the effect of local zoning ordinances upon mobile-home ownership. Assistant Professor Joseph A. Miri of the Department of Government, College of William and Mary examines the proposed reorganization of Vir- ginia's environmental agencies. Several present and former Marshall-Wythe law students were instru- mental in the drafting of this legislation. Finally, The Colonial Lawyer presents an article by Law Professor William F. Swindler in which he discusses the pro- posed organization and activities of the National Cen- ter for State Courts which is to be located in Wil- liamsburg.
