1973 Student Law. Letter [1] (1973)

handle is hein.journals/stlwlet1973 and id is 1 raw text is: ADDITIONAL RESOLUTION ON LIBRARY STANDARDS In the December issue of Student Lawyer, the Law Student Division published a copy of the resolutions passed by the executive board of the organization following their annual meeting. Unfortunately, one resolution was missing. It reads as follows: SUBJECT: LIBRARY STANDARDS WHEREAS, the American Bar Association is vitally and actively interested in ways and means of bringing about the improvements of the legal profession; and WHEREAS, the Standards for the Approval of Law Schools by the American Bar Association are promul- gated in pursuance of that objective; and WHEREAS, a draft of the proposed revision of the American Bar Association Standards for the Approval of Law Schools is being considered by the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar Association; and WHEREAS, rigid adherence to those presently Existing and Proposed Standards relating to Library Facilities significantly increases the cost of obtaining a legal education; and WHEREAS, many public and/or private library facilities exist which meet or exceed said American Bar Association Library Standards and are readily available to law students; RESOLVED, that rigid adherence to a Standard which would require each law school to acquire and maintain a minimum library without consideration of other readily available public and/or private library facilities would not be reasonably adapted to the American Bar Association objective of bringing about the improvement of the legal profession. RESOLVED, that, for the purpose of complying with the American Bar Association Library Standards, the Approving Agency should consider the public and/or private library facilities accessible to the institution in question. 1973 LAW DAY PROGRAMS KEYED TO COURT THEME At no time in our nation's history have our courts been so challenged as they are today. There is a genuine need to inform the public fully about how our judicial system is meeting to a large degree the heavy demands being placed upon it. In an effort to help restore much needed public confidence in the courts, and to foster greater public understanding of our judicial system, the main thrust of all 1973 Law Day U.S.A. programs will be centered on a single, all-embracing, court theme: HELP YOUR COURTS - ASSURE JUSTICE Participating state and local bar associations in Law Day '73 programs will be asked to build their events around the 1973 Law Day theme. State and federal trial court judges will be invited to join with local bar associations in presenting meaningful programs which will explain the day-to-day workings of the courts, pinpoint the many faceted problems facing the judiciary today, and enlist the aid of all citizens in resolving the difficulties. The Conference of Chief Justices, The Judicial Conference of the United States, Administrative Office of the United States Courts, and The Federal Judicial Center, have been invited to cooperate and assist in the 16th annual nationwide Law Day observance next May 1 through the presentation of courtroom programs, out- of-courtroom events, and talks keyed to the Law Day theme. A special effort will be made again in 1973 to encourage all law schools throughout the country to participate in meaningful Law Day programs, hopefully on a campus-wide basis. An invitation also has been extended to all universities, colleges and junior colleges to take part in the observance. The Law Student Division will spearhead the pre- sentation of Law Day programs on some 160 ABA accredited and non- accredited law school campuses. In addition, the Law Student Division will contact universi- ties, colleges and junior colleges which do not have law schools, within a 50 mile radius of the participating law school, to invite their support of the observance. Special awards will again be presented for law school programs selected by the Law Student Division/American Bar Association circuit governors in each of the 13 regional circuits. Also, national awards will be presented for the most outstanding programs at the annual meeting of the Law Student Division/American Bar Association in August.
