Sedgwick to Develop New Computer Legal Research Program

T he faculty of Loyola Law School has begun a nation­wide search for a new Direc­

tor of the William M. Rains Law Library, says Victor Gold, Chair of the Search Committee.

Frederica Sedgwick, '70, Director of the Law Library, announced on September 2 at the first faculty meeting of the year, that she will relinquish her Director position to devote full-time to a new faculty assignment beginning June 30, 1988.

On the faculty and serving as a librarian since 1964, she was Act­ing Director of the library in 1974 and has been Director since 1975. Under her directorship, the library has become the second largest law library in California. In her new assignment, she will begin incor­porating computers into the legal curriculum.

Sedgwick will go on sabbatical beginning July 1, 1988 in order to develop the materials needed for these curriculum plans.

"Beginning in July 1989, I shall be working with the faculty on

their research/' she said. "My as­signment will be three-fold. First, we hope to develop a better method of teaching legal research including on-line research. We will also de­velop curriculum materials incor­porating computer programs into substantive courses and will ulti­mately introduce a computer­assis ted legal instruction program."

For example, Sedgwick's work would include the use of computers for law office management, briefs, taxes and securities materials, among others.

"There is a great wealth of com­puter materials designed to assist the lawyer learn about what new attorneys need to know. Loyola students have a reputation for being well-prepared and these are new techniques they need to have," she said.

She also announced that it is her intention to retire in 1993. By that time she hopes there will be a func­tioning computer training program and a solid method of teaching legalresearch. •

A Letter From the Dean

One of the gravest concerns of private educational institutions is the rapid

increase in the cost of quality pro­grams. This year tuition for full­time students at Loyola is $9,812. For part-time students it is $6,560. These figures do not include costs for books, health services and other mandatory or optional fees. Our tui­tion is competitive with other fully accredited law schools in major metropolitan areas.

Even though a law student may contemplate a much more lucra­tive career today than he or she would have found available only a few years ago, that will not help the student who finds that finan­cial resources simply will not meet the demands for tuition. Most of our students work full time in the summer and part-time during the school year. Loan funds have not increased over the past few years and certainly have not kept pace with demand. Those students who can qualify for loans have usually borrowed to the maximum by the time they are enrolled in their second or third year of law school. Indebtedness from $20,000 to $40,000 and more is not unusual for one of today's law school graduates.

This year, we will provide $720,000 in direct scholarship awards to Loyola students. This to­tal is up from $603,510 last yea:.; or 4% beyond the amount of tuition increases. The total scholarship amount equals 7.15% of tuition as compared to 6% last year.

Among the principal purposes considered in scholarship awards are the following:

1) To attract students with high potential as reflected in their undergraduate records, community achievements and demonstrated aptitude for the study of law. This year we awarded one Fritz B. Burns scholarship to an outstanding en­tering student. This scholarship covers tuition, fees and a small stipend for books and expenses. We also awarded one Presidential Scholarship covering full tuition for an outstanding graduate of Loyola Marymount University who has enrolled in the Law School. Fourteen scholarships covering half tuition were awarded to other highly qualified entering students.

Fall Enrollment Statistics

T he magic number is 1340 this fall, according to Regis­trar Frank Real, '80, the

person who charts the enrollment statistics for the Law School.

"As of the first day of classes, 1340 is the total number of stu­dents," he said. "Of these, 611 are female bringing us close to an evenly divided campus of males and females ."

There are 58 more students en­rolled this fall compared to last fall, he said.

Of the total, 952 students (435 female and 517 male) attend full­time and 388 (176 female and 212 male) attend part-time. First year students number 405.

According to Real, there are 206 minority students enrolled (111 female and 95 male).

"It's a good cross section of stu­dents," Real said. "Numbers are one thing, and the numbers are certainly positive. What is most

2) To meet the Law School's Affirmative Action goals. Tradi­tionally the Law School has been in the forefront of institutions which recognize an obligation to promote the full integration of the bar. We believe that Loyola is a compatible environment for outstanding repre­sentatives of minority groups who are significantly underrepresented in law schools and in the legal pro­fession. This year we awarded 12 scholarships for either full or par­tial tuition to such entering stu­dents. Among the recipients are representatives of Black, Hispanic and Asian communities. Native Americans are also considered for these awards.

3) To attract and retain working men and women in our Evening Program. In recent years we have modified our scholarship policy to award financial aid to outstanding part-time law students. We recog­nize that the cost of a part-time legal education represents a tre­mendous burden even to those who may be employed on a full-time basis. Several scholarships have been awarded to entering students in both the general and Affirmative Action categories. This policy ap­plies to upper-division students as well.

Upper-Division Scholarship Criteria

Scholarship awards to upper­class students not only provide continuity for those on-entry scholarship winners who maintain high academic standards, but they also have other very significant purposes . Most importantly, we award substantial scholarships to all students who achieve the high­est level of academic success . These students are the leaders in the classroom, provide the greatest source of talent for our law journals and moot court programs, and do much to attract outstanding law firms to our campus for recruit­ment purposes. Without academi­cally distinguished students, our upper level classrooms would be far less lively in the quality and intel­lectual vigor of discussions.

Students in the top 5% of their class, day or evening, receive sig­nificant scholarships ranging from the Burns level through full tuition to half tuition. Similarly, minority

impressive is the caliber and enthusiasm of this year's students. It's going to be a good year." •

Registrar Frank Real, '80, shown lead­ing the procession at the 1987 Com­mencement, reports there are almost as many women as men enrolled this year at the Law School.

students who have attained aca­demic success also qualify for sub­stantial scholarships. This scholarship program has been most successful in helping Loyola retain those outstanding students who are greatly sought after by Univer-

Dean Arthur N. Frakt

sity of California and other law schools. This year, for example, of the 15 highest ranked students in the second year class, only one transferred. In fact, the single stu­dent who transferred did so in order to return to his home in another state. Losing so few outstanding students and attracting a number of excellent transfers helps maintain high quality.

In addition to students whore­ceive scholarships based entirely on meritorious achievement, other students who have been academi­cally successful qualify for scholar­ships on a need basis. This year we have awarded scholarships based upon a combination of need and achievement to the thirtieth per­centile for both day and evening. The amounts of these scholarships vary based upon the need factor. Unfortunately, we cannot fully fund all of these students to the full extent of their need, and many other deserving students are not eligible for scholarships at all. Still, more than 150 students have been awarded significant scholarship aid

this year. This represents just over 12% of our total student body. A number of other students will re­ceive scholarships and grants from outside government and private agencies.

Funding Scholarships

Despite the great progress we have made over the past several years in funding and awarding scholarships, we are still very far from achieving a level of support for our students which is appro­priate for a law school of our quality and our mission. Many deserving students are unfunded or under­funded. Many more are unable to attend Loyola because they simply do not have the financial support necessary to finance a law school education. Last yea:.; when we were inspected by the American Bar As­sociation, the inspection team in­dicated that currently an amount for scholarships in excess of $1 mil­lion would be appropriate annually. Our own long-term goals based upon a realistic assessment of po­tential resources and a comparison to other major national law schools confirms the A.B.A. observations. We should be providing support funds to at least 20% of our students.

A reasonable goal over the next several years would be to increase the number of scholarships so that the top 10% of our student body would receive significant achieve­ment awards and need/ achieve­ment based scholarships would be provided to students who are in the top half of their class. In order to achieve these ends, we will have to almost double our current resource base, both in terms of endowment and annual giving. We need to in­crease the percentage of our grad­uates who contribute from the current 11% to the 20-25% level. We will also have to seek substan­tially increased contributions from individuals and law firms who already are donating funds to our scholarship programs.

Every student at Loyola Law School has the opportunity to at­tend other accredited law schools of high quality. I sincerely believe that for many students, Loyola is the best choice in legal education. I hope that with the continued and growing support of alumni and friends, we can maintain the qual­ity and diversity of our student body which has been a hallmark of this school from its very inception. •

Writing Workshop Scheduled

Basic legal writing skills re­main one of the problem areas for all law schools. In

order to assist faculty who teach writing and students who need to improve their writing skills, a work­shop for faculty has been scheduled Friday and Saturday, October 30 and 31.

Dr. Andrew Moss of California Polytechnic University at Pomona and Professor Janna Rankin of California State University at San Diego, who is also an Adjunct Pro­fessor at Loyola, will conduct the

Loyola Law School firmly adheres to a policy against discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, physical handicap, med­ical condition, or age (as prohibited by applicable law).

The Loyola Lawyer is the newspaper of Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, published by the Communications

workshop. Dean Arthur N. Frakt told the

faculty at the first faculty meeting of the year that several years ago The California State University recognized that a significant pro­portion of students were failing to develop basic writing and general literacy skills. Each unit within the University was charged with the responsibility of insuring that all students regardless of their major area of academic endeavor could write as literate adults.

Advocates Scholarship Campaign Undervvay

Continuing the therrie of stu­dent scholarships, Angela Hawekotte, '79, Chairman

of the 1987-88 Advocates Cam­paign, announced a $220,000 goal for this year's campaign at the September meeting of the Board of Governors.

This is a 10% increase over last year 's goal of $200,000 to approxi­mate the corresponding 1987 ll% tuition increase. The 1986 cam­paign successfully m et goal.

"As graduates of the nation's tenth largest accredited law school offering a J.D. program, I'm sure you are aware that thus far Loyola has maintained an unusually h igh standard of excellence," said Hawekotte at the September meet­ing of The Alumni Board of Governors.

For example, in 1987-88, of the 15 top students in the second year, 14 were offered scholarships be­cause of their superior academic performancei all accepted and chose to remain at Loyola. Scholar­ships can make the difference in students being able to attend the school of their choice and making Loyola competitive with less ex­pensive public schools.

"While many large schools have been forced to make drastic cuts in past years, Loyola hasn 't," she said.

But, the Law School is at a cross­roads, she said. Unless the number of scholarships is increased, the school 's standard of excellence could be in jeopardy. The scholar­ship program seems to be the pri-

mary way to attract and retain the diverse student population of which Loyola is proud.

This means funds are needed for beginning and continuing day and evening students on merit and merit /need basis, as well as minor­ity and specialty scholarships for students who are underrepresented in the legal profession .

"I hope each member of the alumni will consider making a sig­nificant gift this year on behalf of Loyola Law School 's students," said Hawekotte, "and I hope that past donors will match their pre­vious gifts.

"There are many ways to desig­nate money for scholarships," she explained. "Funds can be donated to existing scholarships. New schol­arships can be established in some­one else's name, in your nam e, as a memorial, from an alumni class year, or from a corporation, firm or foundation. As a donor, you could designate the criteria for your schol­arship to m atch your interests."

She also announced The 1986-8 7 Honor Roll of Donors will be in the mail to alumni sometime in October.

For further information about the ways you can participate in the Advocates Scholarship Campaign, call Sam Bozzo or Rebecca Weeks in the Development Office at l213) 736-1045 or 1046. They will assist you in deciding the best way to make a difference in the scholar­ship campaign.

Class Representatives Meet

The newly appointed class representatives will meet for an honors dinner on Friday

evening, October 30, according to Brian Brandmeyer, '62, President of the Alumni Board of Governors.

At this dinne~ the Board will acknowledge the representatives' importance as a link to graduates. Angela Hawekotte, '79, Chairman of the Advocates Campaign and the

Treasurer for the Board, will wel­come the appointees.

Sharing the spotlight at the din­ner will be Jack Cosgrove and Leo H. Dwerlkotte, '39. Cosgrove is the major founding donor to the origi­nal John F. Kennedy Moot Court Room, and Dwerlkotte gifted the Law School with the new Trial Advocacy Classroom. •

Class Representatives Needed A great way to say thanks to your Law School

T hough 3 7 people from 23 class years have responded to the request to serve as

class representatives for their graduating years, we still need volunteers to fill in the gaps, says Brian Brandmeyer, '62, President of the Board of Governors.

Class years still needing repre­sentatives are 1940-50, 1952 and 1953, and 1957- 1966. Being larger, many later class years need more than one representative. These include the classes of 1968, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1984 and 1987.

"The duties of a class representa­tive," says Brandmeyer, "are crucial in maintaining a strong alumni­based communication network. Those serving are the primary liaison between the school and former classmates. Duties include

keeping The Loyola Lawyer editor informed about news and keeping classmates up-to-date on the hap­penings at the Law School such as the Alumni Dinner, reunions, fundraising and other activities. "Not only that," he added, "it's fun besides and a great way to keep in touch with all your classmates."

The newest alumni to join Loyola Law School's class repre­sentatives team since The Loyola Lawyer's last publication are Leslie C. Burg, '54 and Thomas B. Kristovich, '72.

"We welcome them and hope all of you from the class years without representatives will follow suit," Brandmeyer concluded.

lf you would like to volunteer or you need additional information, call Rebecca Weeks in the Alumni Office, l213) 736-1045. •

Getting Father Through Lavv School University, he is also a trustee at Immaculate Heart High School and Catholic Charities of Los Angeles and is Chairman of the Pfaffinger Foundation. He is a member of the Board of Advisors, School of Ac­counting at the University of Southern California, Loyola Law School's Board of Visitors, the Legislation and Regulations Com­mittee of the Southern California Association for Philanthropy, the Los Angeles County Bar Associa­tion and the American Bar Association.

0 n the evening of Thursday, November 19, Loyola Law School graduate Charles R.

Redmond, '74, will receive the Law School 's highest alumni honor­The Distinguished Service Award.

Executive Vice President of The Times Mirror Company, he is also a member of the Law School's Board of Visitors and a trustee at Loyola Marymount University. He and his wife Elizabeth (Bette) are also very active in the Los Angeles community and cultural scene.

To employees at The Times Mirror Company in Los Angeles, Charles R. Redmond is the Executive Vice President who oversees all corpo­rate departments. To several arts, community and professional orga­nizations, he is an officer or mem­ber. To many airlines and cruise ship companies, he is viewed as a frequent traveler.

But to wife Elizabeth, daughters Kathleen, Melanie, Patricia, and son John, one of the roles they remember best is Redmond as the husband and father who decided to go to law school at the age of 43.

" It was better than a mid-life crisis," laughed Redmond, a large lean man with an easy-going gait and a soft-spoken voice.

"I decided to go to law school at a later time in life than most. My youngest was about to enter high school and the others were already in high school or college. The time seemed right," he said.

It was 1970. He had always wanted to be a lawyer, but raising a family and developing a career had preoccupied him until then.

The primary reason for choosing Loyola Law School was because it had the best accredited night pro­gram, "maybe the only accredited night school program at that time," he wryly admitted. Another reason was its proximity to the downtown offices of The Times.

"Getting father through law school " became the family's pri­mary focus.

At the age of 48, he received his Juris Doctorate and passed the bar. Though he doesn't practice law per se, he has found that his law educa­tion has greatly enhanced his busi­ness acumen.

"I wasn't at all sure at that time I actually wanted to be a lawyer; an honest-to-God practicing, going-to­court lawyer. Actuall~ I stayed on being a business guy and doing what I had been doing all along," he said. (However, the Times Mirror legal staff of some 20 attorneys is now one of the numerous depart­ments under his direction.)

But Redmond is the first to admit that learning the law taught him a type of disciplined thinking, a way to reason and come to conclu­sions. "And in business," he said, "that's important- coming to good conclusions a higher percent­age of the time."

Though a resident of California more than 30 years, Redmond's start was in New Jersey where he was born. He was reared near Rut­gers University, and ultimately attended that institution after serv­ing two years in the Navy.

While at Rutgers, he met his wife­to-be at Douglas College which was part of the University. They married in his senior year. When he graduated cum laude in 1950, he began working for General Electric in Connecticut. Then G.E. trans­ferred him first to California and thereafter to Wisconsin.

However, by that time, the Redmonds' love affair with Califor­nia had deepened. "We had a family pow-wow and all of us decided we really wanted to live in California ·-and now was the time to make the break. So we moved back and we've never been sorry," he said.

From 195 7 to 1960, Redmond at­tended the University of Southern California at night studying for his

Charles R. Redmond, '74, h as been selected as the 1987 recipient of the A lumni Association 's highest h onor- the Distinguished Service Award. It will be pre­sented to him at the Alum ni Dinner on the evening of November 19.

"Classes often began for me at 6 p.m.; I'd sail out of my office at 10 minutes to the hour and just make it," he said.

The next four and a half years be­came "sort of a family project" he said "because at the time I was em­ployed very much full-time so the number of hours I had to devote to my studies had to be everyone's concern. I had to travel with my job. As a result, the other members of the family had to pitch in.

"My wife would go to class and take notes when I had to be out of town. My older daughter even at ­tended classes from time to time in order to tape lectures for me so I could lis ten later. They were involved as much as I was," he remembered.

Mast ers in Business Administration. In 1964, Redmond began his career

at The Times Mirror Company as Corporate Director of Personnel "because they wanted someone with a human resources and ac­counting background." The com­pany was just beginning a series of m ergers and acquisitions, accord­ing to Redmond.

In 1973 he was named Vice Presi­dent of Administration and Services and in 1977 he became Assistant to the President. In 1980 he was promoted to Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration. He assumed his current position as Executive Vice President in 1987. Since he began in 1964, Times Mirror has grown to employ some 29,000 employees company-wide

with 30 national subsidiaries gener­ating revenues of more than three billion dollars.

"If you stay around a company long enough, it sometimes just happens," he said modestly of his rise in the company structure.

The Redmonds now live in La Canada and three of their four chil­dren still live within five miles of the family home where they grew up. One daughter lives at Lake Tahoe.

So the years have passed and the children have grown. Redmond has worked hard at achieving his goals in education and business. But somehow, there always seems to be just a little more time to give away. "You get used to that when you go to law school at night," he laughed. "It builds stamina if nothing else."

The Redmonds have become very active in the community and particularly in the arts. Bette, who was a dancer in her younger years and still takes ballet classes, piqued her husband's interest in supporting dance in Los Angeles.

Redmond serves as a Director of The Dance Galler~ the Lewitzky Dance Company and The Aman Folk Ensemble. President of The Times Mirror Foundation and Chairman of the Los Angeles Ur­ban League, he also serves as a Di­rector of the Financial Executives Institute. In addition to his trust­eeship at Loyola Marymount

The Redmonds are also avid travelers "to make up for all the years we couldn't." In fact, this year the Alumni Dinner was post­poned two weeks to accommodate a previously planned 15-day trans­atlantic crossing from Marseilles, France, to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Last year they went on a trans­pacific crossing from Yokohama to San Francisco. Hassle-free cruising has become their favorite way to travel and takes the place of other hobbies for Redmond.

Both Redmonds have a new in­terest to add to their huge list of others, but this one has prime im­portance. He is seven-month old Charles Andrew, their first grand­child. Although the other Redmonds who helped "get father through law school," will be front and cen­ter at the Alumni Dinner; Charles Andrew's bedtime is 8 p.m. so he will not see his grandfather honored as an outstanding example of a Loyola Law School graduate. •

Professor Allan P. Ides, '73

T he most significant celebration of the bicentennial of the Constitution was not Congress' historic session in Philadelphia

this July 16. Nor was it or will it be any one of the countless other festivities scheduled to honor this nation's charter. The true celebration of our Constitution's 200th birthday has been a series of televised events known collectively as the Iran-contra hearings.

From the standpoint of the Constitution, the real significance of the hearings goes well beyond the political controversies generated by the evidence gathered. Rather, it involves an exami­nation of the centerpiece of our constitutional structure-the separation of powers. And no­where is the dispute over the doctrine's meaning and applicability hotter than in the conduct of foreign affairs.

For instance, John Poindexter insisted in his testimony that the executive branch has the exclusive right to develop and implement U.S. foreign policy. By his rights, congressional incur­sions limit the latitude of presidential action-a

violation of the separation of powers. Congress­men, of course, would have none of this. Con­gress' control of the purse strings and its power to enact legislation mandate a role for it in the con­duct of foreign policy. A president who ignores this is trampling on the separation of powers.

These conflicting views are not easily settled. The Supreme Court, except in one notable case, typically has refused even to consider separation­of-power questions arising from inter-government foreign-policy disputes on the ground that they are inherently political, not legal.

-Our system was created by men who, though they respected the rule of law, harbored a deeply felt distrust of government and the powers reposed in governments.

If so, it is appropriate to re-examine the struc­ture of government set in motion by the Con­stitution. In so doing, one should be mindful of the fact that our system was created by men who, though they respected the rule of law, harbored a deeply felt distrust of government and the powers reposed in governments. The exultation of power and governmental efficiency were not their goals. Indeed, inefficiency was purposefully built into the system in order to hobble the aggrandizement of power.

The Constitution allocates the powers of government in two ways. First, it divides power between the federal and the state governments. Under the concept of federalism, specific substan­tive powers, such as the powers over interstate and foreign commerce, are granted to the national government; powers not given to the federal government are reserved for the states and the people. The Framers believed that by specifically limiting the nature of national power, local auton­omy could be preserved and a potentially danger­ous centralization of authority could be avoided.

Next, the authority over the substantive powers granted to the national government is separated among its three branches. It is this allo­cation of authority that is commonly referred to as the separation of powers. The term is slightly misleading since it suggests that each branch has jurisdiction over a particular set of substantive powers. For example, one could envision a system under which Congress had exclusive powers over domestic matters, the president over foreign affairs, and so forth. But that is not the system described in our Constitution.

In fact, the substantive powers, such as control over interstate and foreign commerce, the power to wage wars, etc., are lodged in the national gov­ernment as a whole. Each branch is given specific governmental responsibilities that relate to all of these powers. No branch is given unfettered authority over any specific power.

In this division of responsibility, the legislative branch is given the authority to make law. From the perspective of the Framers, this authority to make law, and by so doing, t o create national pol­icy, made the legislative branch the most power­ful of the three. As James Madison, writing in the Federalist Papers, stated, "In republican govern­ment, the legislative authority necessarily pre­dominated." In essence, the legislature is the trigger for exercises of national authority. With­out positive action by the legislature, the power

of the national government is dormant. The executive branch is vested with the con­

stitutional authority to enforce the laws and to implement the policies growing out of those laws. Except in a very narrow range of emergency ac­tions, the executive has no authority to activate national powers in the absence of congressional action. Even in the context of emergency action, such as repelling a sudden attack, the executive response is dependent on implied and express au-

thority derived from prior congressional action. This division of authority between the making

of law and the enforcing of law is at the heart of the separation of powers doctrine. From the perspective of the Framers, tyranny rested in the union of the responsibilities. To permit one person to make and enforce the law was an invita­tion to despotism and a clear threat to liberty. Moreover, the very notion that one person would ever wield such dictatorial powers was anathema

Living Contract

More Than a Turf War to the spirit of republicanism that dominated the Federal Convention of 178 7.

Yet, as Justice William 0. Douglas once ob­served, if each branch insisted on the full range of its perogatives, the government would come to a grinding halt. The primary responsibility over gov­ernmental power is defined by the Constitution, but the ultimate operation of the government relies on lines of authority that are less clearly demarcated. The smooth functioning of the

government depends upon cooperation and accom­modation among the legislative, executive and judicial branches.

For example, the president has always a sub­stantial role in developing and promoting national policy, both domestic and foreign. As such, the executive branch is more than an administrator of congressional will. The sheer political clout of the presidency gives the holder of that office a major role in the shaping of national policy.

Historically, that has been particularly true in foreign affairs. On the other hand, no presidential policy of any substance can survive without the consent and support of Congress. Indeed, behind almost e:very presidential action, one can find an express or implied authorization from Congress.

Aside from disputes that arise during the proc­ess of lawmaking, the instances in which the legislative and executive branches have clashed constitutionally are relatively rare. Perhaps one of the most notable exceptions occurred when President Harry S. Truman seized the steel mills during the Korean War.

The mills were threatened with a shutdown caused by a labor and management dispute. Presi­dent Truman feared that a halt in production would seriously undermine the war effort. As a consequence, he ordered the secretary of com­merce to seize the privately owned mills.

Congress, however, had earlier refused to give the president the authority to take such action. Despite Truman's invocation of his powers as chief executive and as commander in chief, the Supreme Court, in Youngstown Sheet & Tube vs. Sawyer, held that the seizure of the mills violated the separation of powers. The president could not exercise an authority Congress had refused to extend him.

The Supreme Court, however, is usually less willing to intervene in controversies involving the separation of powers on the ground that such questions are "political" and thus better resolved by the legislative and executive branches. The court has refused to decide cases in which the resolution of the issue is textually committed to another branch (e .g., whether an individual should be pardoned), not suspectible to judicial resolution (e.g., the length of time a proposed amendment to the Constitution may circulate among the states), or whenever prudence dictates that the court stay its hand. The prudence rationale is completely open-ended and, it has been suggested, is indefensible in light of the court's role as protector of the Constitution. Yet this theory of judicial avoidance is frequently invoked when a separation-of-powers dispute appears before the court.

The Supreme Court, in the name of prudence, seldom touches separation -of-powers disputes.

Thus the lines of authority so clearly drawn by the Framers have become somewhat blurred. This is particularly true with respect to military ac­tion. Although the Constitution explicitly grants Congress a vast array of responsibilities over the nation's war-making apparatus, emphatically sug­gesting the superiority of Congress in this realm, the executive branch, beginning with the Korean War, has claimed a privilege to send U.S. soldiers into actual or potential combat without the ex­press consent of Congress. The executive's role as commander in chief, which was perceived by the Framers as a non-policy-making military position, has been exalted to one that permits the president to use the military as a tool of his foreign policy.

The invasion of Grenada is a recent example of this use of presidential authority. Congress played no role in the decision. Undoubtedly, the idea that the president, on his own initiative, could dis­patch U.S. forces to overthrow a foreign govern-

ment would have shocked the authors of the Constitution. But the judiciary provided no solace for those who challenged the constitutionality of the invasion.

The model for such judicial timidity was molded during the Vietnam War, when a number of suits challenging the constitutionality of the war were filed. Essentially, the plan tiffs argued that in the absence of a declaration of war by Con­gress, the president could not engage the nation in a prolonged military conflict. A few courts did conclude that the open-ended Gulf of Tonkin res­olution was tantamount to such a declaration, thus sufficient to justify the president's action. The majority of courts, however, did not even go that far. They simply ruled that the question was political and thus not appropriately suited for judicial resolution. The Supreme Court refused to hear any of these lawsuits.

The War Powers Resolution, enacted in 1975, was a congressional response to the constitu­tional imbalance brought to the surface by the Vietnam War. It represents an effort by Congress to curb the war-making proclivity of recent presi­dents. So far, however, the resolution has proved to be ineffective. The tragedy in Lebanon and the invasion of Grenada are good examples of its inef­fectiveness. The Supreme Court has yet to rule upon its constitutionality, although it may have an opportunity as a result of the suit filed last week questioning President Reagan's Persian Gulf policy.

The constitutional issues inherent in the Iran­contra affair have, at times, been obscured by policy questions and by the personalities of the participants. Further complicating the matter is the commonly accepted perception that the presi­dent has unilateral authority to make and imple­ment foreign policy, a perception strengthened by a string of complacent Congresses and a timid Supreme Court.

Yet the hearings seemed to be inexorably pulled toward the model designed by the Framers. Foreign policy is not the sole prerogative of the president. Although Congress is hardly in a posi­tion to manage the day-to-day affairs of foreign policy, it must not be kept in the dark about what the executive branch is up to. The hearings revealed that whatever lines were drawn by the separation of powers, the system cannot work without accommodation and flexibility on the part of both branches.

The facts underlying the Iran-contra affair are thus indicative of a breakdown of the constitu­tional system. The executive branch, or at least certain members of that branch , vested in itself complete dominion over governmental authorities more properly separated under our Constitution. The reason for the breakdown should be deb a ted, for its roots run far deeper than the Reagan administration.

The Iran-contra hearings gave us an opportu­nity to assess both the strengths and weaknesses of the system of government set up by the Fram­ers. To be sure, the separation-of-powers doctrine makes it more difficult for the government to op­erate. Good policies may never come to fruition because of the friction and inefficiencies fostered by the system. And, from time to time, this as­pect of our government will put us at a disadvan­tage in dealing with nations who operate under more autocratic rules. But the often frustrating inefficiencies of our system have operated as a substantial barrier to the usurpation of power by any single individual or institution of govern­ment, precisely the goal the Framers sought to achieve. •

Tunney Tennis Tournament Nets $2500 for Scholarships

I n spite of the earthquake the day before and unseasonably steamy weather, the John V.

Tunney/Loyola Law School Tennis Tournament for Student Scholar­ships held the afternoon of October 2 at the Riviera Country Club was considered highly successful by everyone who attended.

"As far as I'm concerned, this is the beginning of what I see as an annual event," said Tournament Chairman Tunney, who graduated from the University of Virginia Law School, but considers Loyola as one of his West Coast legal alle­giances. "With the help of the par­ticipants, next year we will double the size of the tournament," he said.

It all began at noon with a box lunch under the umbrellas at Rivi­era Country Club's Tennis Center

in Pacific Palisades. As each partici­pant arrived, they received a Loyola Law School shirt and tennis visor. As the tennis pro matched players at their level, photos of each player were taken which were later distributed at the awards cocktail party. Guests of the play­ers took their places in the shade to cheer the competitors and in some cases offer their unsolicitated sug­gestions for game improvement.

Signs were displayed on the courts of the eight companies and individuals who had donated spon­sorship funds. They included Jimmy Murphy of Jimmy's Restau­rant in Beverly Hills; Tredway, Brandmeyer, Brazelton & Lums­daine; Roland Seidler; Kern & Wooley; Murray Neidorf; Walker's 7-ll; John V. Tunney, and

Small firms top graduate market

Employment trends shovv surprising results by Carol Ross-Burnett Director, Career Planning and Placement Center

T he facts are in: The majority of law school graduates across the country find ini­

tial employment in private practice firms of 2-10 attorneys.

National Association for Law Placement (NALP) data has consis­tently revealed this fact through an annual nation-wide survey of ABA law school graduates. For the class of 1985 and of 30,510 respondents, very small firms (2-10 attorneys) accounted for the largest share of graduates (21% ). Following behind were small firms (11-25 attorneys) with 8.8% . Medium-sized firms of 25-50 attorneys absorbed 6.8%, while firms of 51-100 attorneys snared 7% and large firms with more than 100 attorneys, 12%.

According to NALP data for the class of 1985, government is the second largest employer of law school graduates ( 12.7%) followed by judicial clerkships (11.9%), busi­ness and industry (10.4% ), public interest (3.3%) and academia (1.5% .)

Smaller employers and govern­ment agencies tend not to recruit on campus during the fall season, so it may be surprising to note that the majority of graduates are there­fore gaining employment through their own independent job searches. This would include their use of the thousands of job listings which come into the Career Planning and Placement Center each year, a large

guests gratefully gathered in the blissfully cool Fren ch Room of the main clubhouse for the awards cocktail party. Kathinka Thnney and Dean Drulias won top woman and man individual player in mixed doubles. Joan Hollman and William Doheny were in second place.

In level A, Professor Lary Lawrence won first place and Skip Coomber, '87, was in second place.

Andy Mortl won first place in B level with James Krochka in number two slot.

InC level, visiting Professor Pat Randolph, the first holder of the Fritz B. Burns Chair in Real Property, came in first with Jerry Sinclair coming in second.

share of which are from smaller law firms and government agencies.

The average starting salary for the class of 1985 was $29,224 and only 30% of all graduates for the class of 1985 earned more than $35,000 per year. (A recent ABA Journal survey of 60llaw firms shows an increase in average 1987 starting salaries to $33,000.) The much publicized 1986 salaries of $65,000 in New York and $52,000 in Los Angeles are attributable to the larger firms who recruit on cam­pus each fall. According to NALP data, average starting salaries in very small firms varied from city to city and ranged from $12,000 in Augusta, Georgia to $50,000 in San Jose, California. Loyola's own placement statistics also show this broad range of salaries for smaller employers. So although larger employers are often more visible and may offer greater prestige and financial rewards, smaller employers remain the bread and butter of the legal profession for a majority of law school graduates.

Brian Brandmeyer, '62, President of the Board of Governors, a mem­ber of the Tennis Committee, and a participant in the tournament, summed up the day nicely. "l can't think of a better way to spend a hot fall afternoon. All of us had a great time, saw old friends, met new ones, played hot, hard tennis-and raised money for Loyola students.

"And I'd like to offer special thanks to John Tunney who made it all possible, of course, and to Bernie LeSage '74, who acted as Coordinator and ended up unable to play himself because of earth­quake-related problems at his firm." Other committee members were Bob Brazelton '52, Skip Coomber '87, Joe Dzida '79, Lary Lawrence, Patty Mortl '79, Sarah Rostan, and Arne Vaughan '82 . •

Alumni Directory Questionnaires Sent Verification calls to begin soon

Judging by the number of calls received in the Communica­tions Office, most of you have

received your alumni directory questionnaires from Harris Pub­lishing Company in New York. The directory is slated for release in June of 1988.

Beginning December 22, the company will begin telephone fol­low-ups to alumni for verification of the information to be printed in the directory. At the same time, the telephone representatives will be inviting alumni to order personal copies of the volume.

The telephone call is a follow-up to two questionnaire mailings

sent to all alumni with verified addresses.

Since the cost of the directory is self-liquidating through sales, the solicitation requests made by Har­ris representatives has been ap­proved by your Alumni Association. The entire project has been under­taken at very little cost to the law school itself. As a by-product of the directory, Harris provides the school with completely updated alumni records.

If you have not received a ques­tionnaire form, or you have ques­tions about the directory, please contact the Communications Office at (213) 736-1043. •

Donovan Memorial Plans Announced Burns Foundation offers $250,000 challenge

W hen the average person passes through life, his or her memory often dims

quickly for those who are left be­hind. But there are those who leave such a profound effect on those they knew, that to remember them brings an instant flood of feelings .

Rev. Joseph J. Donovan, S.J., Rec­tor of the Law School from 192 7 to 1970 was such a man. His smile, booming voice, generosity, com­manding presence- and sometimes his displeasure, is what alumni are beginning to tell us about as the Alumni Office pulls together notes for a memorial booklet.

On the evening of Friday, Feb­ruary 26, 1988, those who remem­ber Donovan best will gather at the Bel Air Country Club to honor him, toast his memory, and reminisce about the man who is often re­ferred to as Mr. Loyola Law School.

"If you attended the law school before 1970, you can't forget him/' says Michael J. Clemens, '51, who is chairing the Donovan Dinner Committee. "Put the evening of February 26, 1988 on your calen­dar/' he urges. "For $100 a ticket, you'll be treated to good company, memories, a marvelous dinner, followed by a very special tribute to the man who was Loyola Law School. We'll cap the evening with dancing, and a special toast to Father Donovan."

A history of the law school and Father Donovan's life has been commissioned by J. Robert Vaughan, '37, and will be given to the guests attending the celebration. Addi­tional copies will be offered for sale later.

"Please search your memorabilia for any photos, clippings or items of interest about Father Donovan/' urges Clemens. "Send them to the Communications Office at the law school so they can be included in the booklet, or in the audio visual presentation which will be part of the tribute."

All proceeds for the event will be used toward an on-campus memo­rial to Father Donovan which will be erected near the south classroom which will be renamed for him.

A $500,000 fund-raising cam­paign will be kicked off in conjunc­tion with the celebration according to Roger Sullivan, '50, Chairman of

The late Rev. Joseph P Donovan, S.f. (r) and Fritz B. Burns are shown at a dinner honoring Father Donovan's birthday in 1967. Father Donovan 's life will be cele­brated at a dinner scheduled February 27.

the Donovan Steering Committee. "The Fritz B. Burns Foundation

has offered alumni and friends of Father Donovan and the law school a remarkable challenge/' says Sullivan. "If we can raise $250,000 toward the Donovan Fund, they will match it dollar for dollar."

Because of the complexity of the regulations under the act, and the need to provide front line direct service staff with technical support, the Legal Department of Catholic Charities is recruiting volunteer at­torneys and law students for the immigration project. There are vol­unteer positions open within the five county jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Archdiocese.

from their disability/' Quinn says. "Most cases fall into the areas of employment discrimination, de­nial of governmental benefits and access to programs and facilities."

Five or six students per semester enroll in the clinic. For four units of credit, the students must commit to 16 hours per week dur­ing each 14 weeks enrolled. Under the direction of Quinn, the stu­dents research actual cases and rep­resent clients at administrative hearings or in the court. The clinic students are also required to take a two-credit academic component, Legal Rights of the Disabled and El­derly, before their clinical semester. Students in the class may either take the examination or write are­search paper relat ed to an actual clinic case.

"We receive hundreds of calls each year/' admits Quinn, "but be­cause we have such a small perma­nent staff, and have to depend primarily on our clinic students and some volunteer attorneys, we actually handle only a fraction of them."

The Department of Education grant offsets the salary paid to Quinn by Loyola Law School. The Center is also supported by State Bar Trust Funds (IOLTA) and money donated by the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Trial Attorneys Association, some fam­ily foundations, individual dona­tions, and private fund-raising. The Center now has a full-time legal secretary Deborah Horton and a part-time paralegal Linda Siegel.

The Board of Directors for the Western Law Center include Saralea Altman, President; Profes­sor Mary-Lynne Fisher and Charles D . Siegal, Vice Presidents; J. F. Saenz, Treasurer; and Professor Jan C. Costello, Nancy Knox, Stuart P. Herman, Nicholas DeWitt, '79, Marilyn Holle, Joel Kleinberg, Alan Sieroty, Joseph E. Lawrence, '71, Ronald C. Rosen, Sam Bandler, Sharon Hartman and Robb Hennessy.

Workshop Scheduled Continu ed from l'age 2

As a result, Dr. Moss and Dr. Carol Holder also of the Cal Poly Pomona English Department de­vised a program of "writing in the disciplines" to evaluate and teach using all of the resources of the University. They wrote an instruc­tional guide book and their suc­cessful program has been widely emulated nationally. Rankin partici­pated in the program for several years and now teaches a writing course in San Diego State's version of the program.

In preparation for the workshop at Loyola, all entering students wrote a diagnostic essay which is being evaluated by Moss and Ran­kin and a team of trained graders. In turn, corrective suggestions will be given to small section writing instructors, with particular atten­tion given to those students who have serious writing problems.

In addition to the workshop, Frakt told the faculty that Moss and Rankin will be available on a regular basis during the spring semester to provide remedial work to students who are having diffi­culty in writing, on reference from faculty teaching the small sections, and also for general consultation. •
