K. Powe asked lawyers to recommend persons to serve on the State Bar's CASE Committee. CASE is an acronym which stands for certification, accreditation, specialization and education. The committee will make an in-depth study of specialization for lawyers, certification, mandatory continuing legal education and accreditation of continuing legal education programs. Powe said he expects the committee to study how such programs could aid and assist in improving the quality and delivery of legal services in North Carolina. Robinson 0. Everett of Durham will be Chairman of the committee which will be composed of members of the State Bar Council, each of the law schools in the State, non- Council lawyers and laypersons. Attorneys who wish to serve on the committee or to nominate another for membership on the committee should contact B. E. James, Secretary-Treasurer, The North Caro- lina State Bar. Enlarged Council Holds First Meeting In its first meeting since the effective date of restructure legislation, the State Bar Council gathered in January with 51 members present. The fifteen new councilors attended a one-day orientation program led by Vice President John W. Campbell and were formally introduced to the Council at the Friday, January 18th meeting. Three addi- tional councilors will be elected by the District Bars in the Fifteen B District (1) and the 21st District (2). The com- plete Council consists of the 50 councilors plus the four officers. The new members of the Council are: Charles F. Blan- chard, G. Eugene Boyce, Joseph B. Cheshire, Jr., and Roger W. Smith representing the 10th Judicial District; Robert A. Spence, 11th District; Marshall T. Spears, Jr. and Charles W. White, 14th District; Andrew G. Williamson, 16th Dis- trict; Robert G. Baynes, Harold C. Mahler and John L. Rendleman, 18th District; Hugh B. Campbell, Jr., S. Dean Hamrick, Emil F. Kratt and James Y. Preston from the 26th District. X FTC Investigation Simplified The investigation of the legal profession by the Federal Trade Commission is moving along again, but at a different pace. The head of the agency's investigation, Paul Peterson, has recommended that the survey be voluntary in nature and that a new, simpler questionnaire be released early in 1980. According to a report in the American Bar Associa- tion Journal (January 1980) Peterson was taken with the earnest bar leaders with whom he discussed the probe at the meeting of the Southern Conference of Bar Presidents in Williamsburg last fall. The investigation is intended to shed light on the relationship between advertising, solicita- tion, trade names and the price, quality and utilization of legal services. NCCU Gets ABA Affirmation Dean Harry Groves has announced that North Carolina Central University's School of Law has complied with sev- eral demands of the ABA and no longer faces a threat of losing its accreditation. In January 1975 the school was informed by ABA officials that it was liable to loss of its ABA accreditation if it did not upgrade the law library and the physical plant and strengthen the faculty. In a ceremony at the new but unfinished law school building on January 25, 1980, Governor James B. Hunt, Jr., praised Groves for the School's progress and com- mended the General Assembly for appropriating the funds necessary to upgrade the school. Groves said that during his 31h years as dean, the school's budget has more than tripled, nine more full-time faculty members have been hired and over 50,000 volumes have been added to the law library.
