1 Race Rel. L. Surv. 1 (1969-1970)

handle is hein.journals/rerelasur1 and id is 1 raw text is: * Vol. 1, No. 1 Race Relatwmis- MAY, 1969 Law Surveg ' VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY SCH46L OF LAW CCL Foreword With this initial issue of THE RACE RELA- TIONS LAW SURVEY, the Vanderbilt University School of Law resumes its public service function in the law reporting field. When the Race Rela- tions Law Reporter was discontinued nearly a year ago, the promise was made to restore this service in its original or some modified form if a source of financing should become available. Thanks to a grant from the Ford Foundation, we are iow able to redeem that pledge. In the Survey, we shall again endeavor to re- port objectively all legal developments in which the factor of race is directly involved. The ma- terial will consist mainly of summaries of court decisions, legislative enactments, executive orders, and administrative agency rulings, on the national, state and local levels. Because of budgetary limita- tions, the full texts of the opinions, statutes, orders and rulings will not be printed; but citations to published sources of these materials will be given whenever available, and copies of unpublished items may be ordered from the Survey for twenty cents per page. In later issues, analytical discus- sions of legal developments and pending legal problems in the field of race relations will be occasionally included. Publication will be on a bi-monthly basis. . As a means of bridging the gap between the Re- porter and the Survey, this first issue is devoted entirely to significant decisions handed down by federal and state courts during 1968. It has not been possible, of course, to discover and print all of such relevant cases in the brief preparatory period which has been available, and so others will appear in the second issue, as will references to some of the significant 1968 legislative enact- inents and administrative rulings regarding race relations matters. We earnestly solicit the assist- ance of our readers in obtaining copies of or refer- ences to materials which are appropriate for treat- ment in future issues of the Survey. We shall be most grateful to receive individual notices of such items and to be placed on the mailing lists of ad- ministrative commissions, clerks of courts, legisla- tive agencies, civil rights organizations and any other public or private instrumentalities which are concerned with developments in the area of race relations. During the first year, the Survey will be sent free of charge to anyone who requests it, as long as our supply of copies lasts. Volume I, Number 1, is being mailed to all who were subscribers to Volume 12 of the Race Relations Law Reporter, to the public libraries of cities with a population of 50,000 or more, to a selected list of college and university libraries, to the offices of state and local human relations commissions, and to any indi- viduals who have requested to be placed on the mailing list. All of us in the Law School are very much pleased to be able to continue to render what we conceive to be a beneficial service in this extreme- ly significant field of the law. We trust that you will find it useful. T. A. Smedley Director, Race Relations Law Survey John W. Wade Dean, Vanderbilt Law School
