20 Law F. 2 (1989-1990)

handle is hein.journals/ublfo20 and id is 1 raw text is: FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF As the Law Forum begins its 20th volume of publication, we pause to reflect upon how far the magazine has come since its inception in 1971. The magazine made its debut as The Forum, The Official Student Newspaper of The University of Baltimore Law School. The first issue was mimeographed on 8 1/2 by 14 paper with hand-printed designs and titles. The topics ranged from a discussion of the progress the School of Law had made towards ABA accreditation, to the increase in female enrollment, to an editorial decrying United States involvement in Vietnam asking when the United States would take the ultimate responsibility for ending a damned, ugly... war. Certainly much has changed since that first edition. The School of Law is now fully accredited, female enrollment now respresents approximately 50% of the student popu- lation, and the United States not only ended its involvement in Vietnam but has, finally, recognized the heroic sacrifices made by those men and women who served the United States in that war. The Law Forum, too, has come a long way since that first edition. From the efforts of Stuart Goldberg, the first editor-in-chief, and his staff, through the present Editorial Board and staff, the Law Forum has evolved into an award-winning, scholarly publication. The sucesss of the Law Forum would not have been possible without the joint efforts of all the people who have, over the past years, served as editors and staff members. To all those past and present Law Forum members, we thank you. The current Editorial Board and staff plan to continue the award-winning tradition with Volume 20. The authors in this volume include a Maryland judge, a professor and students of the School of Law, and a practitioner of the Maryland Bar. Topics range from the recent Broadwater decision to securities issues. In all we have been gratified with the response from the legal community to past articles. We encourage our readers to provide us with comments on either side of the issues published in the Law Forum. When possible and appropriate we will attempt to publish comments in future editions, as we have in the past. It is our hope that with the continued support of Dean Katz, the School of Law, the student body, alumni and the Maryland legal community, the Law Forum staff will complete another 20 volumes of this award-winning publication. Sincerely, Patricia Coyle Johnson Editor-In-Chief 2-The Law Forumi/20.1
