Dean Teree Foster and Dean Larry Dessem are the co-chairpersons for the Deans' Workshop this year. The Deans' Workshop is designed to be a candid and off-the-record exchange of the views and expres- sions among the deans of ABA approved law schools. The meetings are closed meetings and no minutes are taken. Only deans of ABA approved law schools, the Chairper- son of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, the Con- sultant, Deputy Consultant, Presi- dent of AALS, Executive Director of AALS, Chairperson of LSAC and Executive Director of LSAC, will be in attendance during the Deans' Workshop. Deans may not send a representative to this workshop in their absence. This year's conference, which is divided into five panels, will focus on leadership. The first panel, which will include three University Presi- dents, will discuss the role of a law school dean as a leader within the University community. Does the law dean, with particular expertise in due process and rights and obliga- tions of individuals and institutions, have a special role to play in the University community? How can a law school dean assist in shaping the mission and objectives of the University? How can a dean fashion strategies for integrating the law school more fully into the life of the University? The second panel will focus on the role of the law school dean as the leader of the law school administra- tive team. What factors should the dean bring to bear in considering the optimum structure and organization of the administrative staff? What principles and considerations should govern decisions about priorities and resource allocation? What is the nature of the career services/place- ment function in a rapidly changing employment market?

On the day the former McGeorge School of Law dean would have turned 70, more than 750 political digni- taries, judges, lawyers, friends and admirers showed up at Memori- al Auditorium to cele- brate Schaber's extraor- dinary life-two weeks after he died of kidney failure and complica- tions from diabetes. A letter from Presi- dent Clinton to Sch- aber's 89-year-old mother, Esther, was Gordo read, with Clinton calling Schaber a legendary jurist, civic leader, educa- tor and philanthropist. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, an old friend who taught constitutional law at McGeorge for 23 years, spoke of Schaber's fierce commitment to a law that seeks compassion, to a law that ensures progress. And Gregory Favre, who knew Schaber for 13 years, said, He died as he lived, with amazing grace and dignity and courage, with a sense of humor to the end, and with deep devotion to those he loved, endur- ing the pain of body and mind in a kingly fashion. All the while, the beatific image of Schaber's round face stared across the ornate hall from a giant video screen. The stage was filled with red, yellow and Schaber violet flowers.
