handle is hein.journals/syllabus1 and id is 1 raw text is: Volume 1, Number 1, March, 1970 Published by the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar American Bar Association iti LEGAL EDUCATION NEWSLETTER Dear Section Members: With this first number of the Section's newsletter, we take an important step in assisting the dialogue about legal education among concerned lawyers - judges, practitioners, deans, corporate counsel, professors, and government law- yers and officials. We have relied in the past largely on the Section's annual meeting to provide the forum for this national discussion. We also wish to use this newsletter as a medium for informing the membership about the work of the Council. The pace of developments is such that we need to be able to report to you more frequently than just once a year. We also recognize that a majority of you cannot attend the Annual Meeting of the American Bar Association or if you can, you have conflicts that prevent your attending the Section meeting. We are very interested in keeping you informed and through the newsletter seeking your help in serving the public interest and the best interests of the legal profession by serving legal education. Communication is important. You will be interested to learn that starting with the fall number of the Journal of Legal Education, the Chairman of the Section will have two pages in the Journal to make an annual report on the activity of the Section and its Council to the law faculties. For this year's report see 22 J. Legal Ed. 119-121 (1969). The Journal is edited by Professor Eugene F. Mooney of the University of Kentucky, published by the Association of American Law Schools and, through the courtesy of the West Publishing Company, is furnished to each full-time member of the faculty of all approved law schools. I hope that you find this Newsletter interesting and useful. We plan initially to publish it at least twice a year. If you have any suggestions concerning it, I Would appreciate receiving them.
