Spring 1968 the Law School Arms STA 0 LAWYE Spring 1968 The Law School Arms One of the standard heraldic background elements has for centuries been a conventionalized representa­ tion of ermine, which in medieval times was restricted to royalty, but which later became a symbol of the judiciary office. On the Law School arms a vertical strip, or pale, of ermine is overlaid on a purple back­ ground, purple being the color symbolizing the legal discipline and appearing on the academic robes of lawyers. In the flags and arms of the seven schools of Stanford University there is a common element-the characteristic triple frond of the Palo Alto redwood tree, the tree so long associated with Stanford. In the Law School's flag and arms, the Stanford cardinal red­ wood frond is superimposed upon the strip of ermine. Thus, the Law School's flag and arms import a com­ bination of Stanford, law and justice. CONTENTS A Message from the Dean.

They are meant to provide a vital link between the alumnus and his School and between the alumnus and his Stanford fellows, with whom he shares both a professional and a social bond. They are the vehicles by which the School is made aware of its alumni's viewpoints and by which, in tum, it keeps alumni aware of the activities at the Law School, sharpening their interest in the School by fostering a more complete and immediate understanding of the School's progress and its events. Some societies sponsor programs geared to the students currently This spring the number of Stanford Law societies enrolled at the School, informing them through the throughout the United States reached 14.

The faculty, which now numbers about 23, is moving toward a projected complement of 35, but all existing office space is occupied. Stu­ dent-run educational operations such as the Stanford Law Review and the Legal Aid Society have inade­ quate space. The School's clerical and administrative services are jammed. Extensive study of existing facilities confirmed the fact that a new Law School building was a clear and pressing necessity. In December of last year, the Uni­ versity's Board of Trustees approved the schematic plans for a new Law School complex. The plans were drawn up by the San Francisco office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in consultation with a committee of Law School faculty and a committee of law alumni. If the necessary financing can be found it is hoped that construction of the building will begin in 1969 with a targeted completion date of 1971. The building will stand on a site that was selected by the Trustees in 1967 (see map at right). Interest­ ingly, a general plan made for the campus 40 years ago assigned the law building to approximately the same area (see map below right). Facing the entrance to the Meyer Library, between the post office and Stern Hall, the building will compose part of a new quadrangle development in the center of campus activity. Many people will remember the site as the former home of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house. Modern in design and construction, the build­ ing will harmonize architecturally with the rest of the University campus. Modern in the union of form and function, with· firm lines and a sense of openness, it will follow Stanford tradition in the use of arches and red tile and will be kept low and in proportion to sur­ rounding structures. The design of the new law facility is composed of four separate architectural elements linked together: an office-library complex; a classroom building con- 3 taining six large classrooms and three seminar rooms; smooth traffic flow, a system of separated but coordi­ a low, typically Stanford building between the office­ nated student and faculty activities, an efficiency of library and classroom buildings, which will contain educational use and a physical environment conducive faculty and student meeting areas and four small sem­ to study and to conversation. inar rooms; an auditorium with a capacity of 600, The School of Humanities and Sciences will take which will be available to the rest of the University over the present facilities when the Law School moves when not in use by the Law School. into its new and more adequate quarters-quarters Taken together, these four buildings juxtaposed to that even when new will bear the stamp of over sev­ achieve a unity of form and function, will provide a enty-five years of Stanford Law School tradition.

The Society serves as a meeting place and forum for scholars, teachers, offi­ cials, lawyers and others, from some ninety-seven countries. At the end of April, it holds a three-day Annual Meeting in Washington at which current problems of international law are discussed. The Society also sponsors regional meetings outside of Washington in co-operation with other institutions. Salient questions of international law and relations are considered in depth by panels and study groups organized by the Society's Board of Review and Development. Works of scholarship are often published under the Society's auspices in connec­ tion with studies sponsored by the Board. The Society periodically issues three publications: The American Journal of International Law, the leading journal in the field of international law, has been published since 1907. A special number of the Journal carries the papers and discussions of the annual meeting of the Society. The Journal is distributed to all members of the Society without additional charge, and is available to non-members at a subscription rate of $30 a year. International Legal Materials, a bimonthly, is a unique international collection of texts of current official documents, including legislation, treaties, court deci­ sions, and reports.

  • The Changing Structure of International Law: Unchanging
    "THE CHANGING STRUCTURE OF INTERNATIONAL LAW"t UNCHANGING THEORY FOR INQUIRY MYRES S. McDOUGAL* W. MICHAEL REISMAN** Plus a change, plus c'est la "tnte chose.1 In recent decades the demand has become increasingly insistent among scholars and others for development of a more comprehensive theory of inquiry about international law, drawing upon all relevant areas of knowledge and especially upon the social sciences. 2 Early in his very ambitious book Professor Friedmann states that: The changes in the dimensions of international law require a corre- sponding reorientation in its study; neither the international lawyer trained in the classical methods of international law and diplomacy nor the corporation, tax, or constitutional lawyer are equipped to handle this subject without cooperation with each other, and with economists and political scientists. International law is becoming a more and more complex and many-sided subject.3 In bringing the book to a close, he reaffirms that basic changes in the "struc- ture of international society" make necessary a "far-reaching reorientation in the science and study of contemporary international law."4 For any who are as yet unconvinced of the exigency of this demand, Professor Friedmann's able and wide-ranging survey of almost all of the more important and controversial areas of contemporary international law may serve as compelling proof. By intention and example, this book makes a conclusive case for the view that an inter-disciplinary approach and an inter-disciplinary jurisprudence offer the only effective means for delimiting t By Wolfgang Friedmann.

HOW LITTLE WE KNOW Good morning. Across the legal field, people are re-imagining the nature of law outside and among states. And we lawyers are not alone. Our colleagues throughout the social sciences, in economics, political science, sociology, anthropology and more are all thinking anew about global patterns of power and influence. The simple fact that people are thinking anew is itself of real significance. Significant because it reflects how little we actually know about how we are governed. Global governance remains a mystery because so much about global society itself eludes our grasp. Everywhere we can see the impact of things global, foreign, far away. How does it all work,
