Precedent is slim because to handed down slightly more than 500 deoision% It has ruled that while the decisions of the former federal territorial courts are in- teresting, they are no longer bind- ing. The Alaska legal system is thus still as wide open for development as the state itself. The state has neither the funds nor the population to support its own law school or law revision committee. With these factors in mind, a nucleus of -the University of Cali- fornia at Los Angeles (UCLA) Law Review staff was formed with the objective of publishing its materials in the Alaskan Law Journal. Liai- sons with the Alaska Bar Associa- tion in Anchorage were established over the summer. Professor John Bauman was appointed faculty ad- visor at the beginning of the school year and the staff was completed during the first two weeks of 'school. Members of the UCLA Alaska Law Review for the 1968-1969 school year are Max Gruenberg, editor; William Finestone; Douglas Free- man; Lawrence Halit; Steven Horo- witz; Steven Hubert; Myron Jen- kins; John Kerr; James Leonard; Steven Plumer; Sandra Rogers; Jeanne Ross; Louis Victorino; Rob- ert Wright; and Steven Zorick. Willie Hensely, a member of the first year class and an elected member of the Alaska State House Page 377 date the State Supreme Court has of Representatives, will serve as an unofficial advisior. Sponsorship of the project is divided between the UCLA Law School, the Alaska State Bar Asso- ciation, the Alaska State Court System and Legislature, and the UCLA Student Bar Association. The first issue of the Review will consist of case notes and comments on cases and issues of particular relevance to Alaska. Special em- phasis will be placed on important or interesting decisions handed down by the Alaska Supreme Court. Representative of the issves which will be discussed incompata- ability a grounds for divorce, Bass v. Bass, 437 P.2d 324 (Alaska 1968), the defense of assumption of the risk in a tort action, Leavitt v. Gill- aspie, 433 P.2d 61 (Alaska 1968), and the conflict between situs and interest theories in conflict of law cases, Armstrong v. Arm- strong, 441 P.2d 669 (Alaska 1968). Legal areas of concern to Alas- kans will also be explored. One such issue is the conflidt between the state and Alaskan natives for title to the vast lands throughout the state heretofore held by the government. Another issue -that will be discussed is the recent federal gun control legislation and its effect on Alaskans.
