Hungarian Dean
Visits Wake Forest
by Robert K. Walsh
ean Antal Visegrady, of Pecs,
Hungary, felt at home in the
first of his three visits to law
schools in the United States as part
of the ABA's CEELI Sister Law
School Project. He noted that Pecs
and Winston-Salem, North Carolina
are strikingly similar in size, climate
and topography.
Wake Forest had the good fortune
to be the prime host school for Dean
Visegrady from September 7 through
15, 1991.
During Dean Visegrady's visit to
Wake Forest, he was intent on
studying every facet of the program:
curriculum, admissions, clinical
programs, administration, public
relations, and interaction with the
bar and bench. Upon Dean
Visegrady's arrival on a weekend, he
toured the law school, university and
community. He attended a reception
on the first Sunday evening given by
the provost for university officials
and faculty from different
departments with interest in Central
and Eastern Europe.
During the week, Dean Visegrady
had a heavy schedule. Each day
without exception he attended at
least one class. On Monday, he
reviewed the administration,
placement and admissions. It was
also the day for our monthly county
bar association luncheon, which he
also attended. The next day, he
focused on our law library and
computer center, also having lunch
with some lawyers in the community
with international interests.
Wednesday was a big day. In
addition to visiting the locations of
clinical programs downtown, Dean
Visegrady gave a speech to over a
hundred people in our courtroom,
entitled What's Going on in
Hungary. He also had informal
meetings with students at a
continental breakfast and was
Dean Visegrady with Dean Walsh
interviewed that afternoon by our
local newspaper.
By Thursday and Friday, due to
the appearance of the newspaper
article about his visit, Antal, as he
had become known to our law
school community, was famous. On
Thursday morning, he went to the
state courthouse with our director of
clinics to see students perform. The
presiding judge immediately stopped
proceedings and recognized him.
On Saturday, Antal attended our
annual Law School Family Day,
which is an orientation for families
of first-year students. The program
consists of two model classes, a moot
court argument, panel discussions of
student life, a barbecue and a trip to
a Wake Forest football game. Our
barbecue is good; our football is a
different story. Antal had related to
me that on his only prior visit to the
United States, he had been in
Lincoln, Nebraska and attended a
Cornhusker football game. I warned
him that nothing he would see on
the football field at Wake Forest
would resemble what he saw in
Lincoln.
Dean Visegrady, like the other
seventeen deans from Eastern
Europe, indicated that he took away
many good ideas from his American
visits. He greatly enriched us in
return. After hearing Antal discuss
the implementation of Hungary's
new two-year-old constitution with

Sister Law School

Florida and
Warsaw
by Denise Stobbie
Director of Alumni Publications
n a visit arranged through the
American Bar Association's
Central and East European Law
Initiative, Vice Dean Marek
Wasowicz of Warsaw University's
Department of Law spent a week at
the University of Florida College of
Law in September examining
westem-style legal education.
Dean Wasowicz attended classes in
contracts, constitutional law and legal
drafting; explored the college's vast
library holdings and computer
research capabilities; and met with
directors of the Graduate Tax
Program, Legal Drafting Program,
and Center for Governmental
Responsibility.
In an interview before departing,
Dean Wasowicz said his law school
participated in the CEELI program to
analyze American legal education, to
observe the Socratic method of
instruction, and to lay the

Council Approves
New Sanction of
Probation
T he Council of the Section of
Legal Education and
Admissions to the Bar, at its
August 1991 meeting, amended
Rules 27, 29 and 30 of the ABA
Rules of Procedure for Approval of
Law Schools to provide for the use
of the intermediate sanction of
probation. Previously, the
accreditation status of law schools
was either that they were on the list
of law schools approved by the ABA
or they were not. Now, the Council
is empowered to put a law school
which is on the list of approved law
schools on probation for non-
compliance with the Standards.
The recommendation to revise the
rules to provide for the probation
sanction was initially presented to
the Council at it4 February 1991
meeting by the Special Committee to
Study the Law School Approval
Process. At that time, the Council
decided to announce its intention to
adopt the revisions at its June 1991
meeting. The proposed changes were
subsequently circulated for comment.
At its June meeting, the Council
remanded the proposed rules
changes back to the Special
Committee for further review and
report at its August 1991 meeting,
when the rules were finally adopted.
Minority Scholarship
Programs
In other action at the ABA Annual
meeting in August, the Council
adopted Council Policy 40, a
resolution which states the following:
1. That it is the policy of the
Council to support the efforts, and
the legal right, of law schools to
adopt race-based financial aid
programs as part of the schools'
commitment under Standard 212,
and to cooperate with law firms
and bar associations in clerkship
programs and job fairs, and other
minority placement activities to
enhance opportunities for minority
students;
2. That the ABA Standards for
Approval of Law Schools do not
prevent ABA-approved law
schools from adopting such
financial aid programs or
cooperating with employers in
such programs to enhance
opportunities for minority
students;
3. The Council authorizes the
Chair and Consultant, in
consultation with the Section's
Officers, to take such action as
they deem appropriate to
implement this policy, including
recommending that the ABA
participate in litigation challenging
the legality of such programs. []](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.journals/syllabus23&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
