REFRESHER COURSE STARTS JANUARY 7 The refresher course for returning law- yer-veterans will start January 7, Nicholas Jnureguy, who heads the Oregon State Bar school of review, has announced and it will continue for eight weeks, with the pos- sibility that an additional week will be provided for special subjects. The course has been planned to bring the lawyer-vterans up to (late on the hap- penings in the law while they have been out fighting their country's battles. In his announcement of the prcgram, Mr. Jaureguy said: The courses will start Mon, day evening, January 7, 1946, and will continue for eight weeks until Friday, March 1. Classes will be held only in the evenirg, none in the afternoon a heretofore planned, There will be 12 hourse of lectures per week, two hours on most evenings and three hours on other evenings, so as to total 96 hours, Each evening following the lecture period it is planned to throw the meeting open to questions and general discussion. If suffi- cient interest is manifested a ninth week will be added covering trial practice and possibly other subjects. It was decided to leave it optional with each instructor whether to give his lectures in a series of one hour lectures or two hour lectures, The methods of instruction and the particular phases of each subject to be given particular emphasis are also left to the discretion of individual instructors, ex- cept of course it is to be borne in mind that the principal purpose of the sessions is to aid service men who have been absent from the practice for several years. Particular emphasis on recent develop- ments and especially Oregon cases during the period of the war should be given. Several of our prospective students were called into the service after completing their law school work but without an op- portunity to take the bar examination and will take this course as an important sten in preparing themselves for the practice of law. Classes will be open to all members of the bar whether veterans or not. The tui- tion charge will be $80.00 for the entire course, or $1.00 per hour for individual courses. Members of the faculty may at- tend any or all lectures without charge, - 0 - George D. LaRoche, attorney for the Portland dock commission for many years and acting manager since last April, has been appointed general manager by the commission. LAW SCHOOL MERGER IS UP GEARHART PROGRAM FOR CONVENTION DEBATE Tfl RF RIIY ANF Proposals to consolidate the law schools of the state and recommendations that in- vestigations be made of the parole system in the Portland municipal court and that changes he made in the requirements for the admission to practice of lawyers from other states will be sonic of the matters to be considered at the convention of Oregon State Bar at Hotel Gearhart October 18-20. The law school consolidation issue wi!l be before the convention on the report of the late Arthur K. McMahan, champion of the proposal, who, after an investigation, declared he felt there was so much opposi- tion that the matter might well be dropped. That report will be considered and is ex- pected to provoke some discussion. The civil rights committee headed by Nels Peterson has recommended that the state constitution be changed to define more clearly the authority of the state supreme court in the appeal of criminal cases, the matter being brought up by the decision in the case of Robert E. Lee Foulkes. The GOOD WEATHER PROBABLE There is every prospect that Gear- hart weather will be on its good be- havior for the convention of the state bar. Weather bureau records for October 19, the second day of the three-day qes- sion, indicate it has rained in this area but four times in the 14 years since 1931. On that clay last year the tempera- ture was 76 and the skies clear. The year before it was a cooler day, cloudy and with a temperature of 59. committee also recommended the investiga- tion of the municipal court parole system and by a committee which will report to the board of governors for correction of any invasion of civil rights. Justice Arthur D. Hay, chairman, and his committee on judicial administration, recommended that the circuit judges form an association in lieu of the proposed judi- cial council, that expenses for attending meetings be provided, that the county clerks be required to furnish statistical informa- tion reflecting the state of the triakl dock- ets and that the chief justice be empowered to require circuit judges to accept assign- ments in districts other than their own. It also recommended the elimination of the present affidavit of prejudice and the sub- stitution of a simple request for a change of judge which would have the same effect. The legal aid committee headed by Robert 0. Boyd reported an increasing amount of (Continued on Page 2 Column 2) Addresses by Dr. Harry K.
