Testimoney by those interested in supporting and defeating this amendment is published in the form of papers, letters and signatures, and indicates the need for attention to women's right to equal opportunity in athletics/physical education. Arguments are proposed to emphasize the importance of meeting the minimum needs of both sexes before granting extra benefits to the "elite few" (Men) in athletics.

The law school infrastructure was over ten years old. Due to rapid changes in technology and competition from other law schools, state of the art pedagogy and facilities in 1974 were, by 1988, in need of modification and updating. Bringing the library into the information age and expanding its capacity stood at the head of the agenda. Dean Lawrence Raful Lawrence Raful earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Cal- ifornia at San Diego in 1972 and his law degree at the University of Denver College of Law in 1975.

  • The Centennial History of Creighton University School of Law, 1904-2004
    CHAPTER 1 Founders and Benefactors- The Deanship of Timothy J. Mahoney: 1 903-1 91 0 Omaha is an attractive city for student residence; the climate is favorable to intellectual exertion all the year round. 1906 -7 Creighton Univ ersity Announcement I think that among the opportunities of the flegal] profession, that which will afford the most genuine satisfaction, is the work of the calling. To be confronted with a difficult problem, with a situation where you are con- vinced that substantial and natural justice is on the side of your client, a sit- uation in which you are unable to call to mind any rule laid down in the books, or any decision of any court that exactþ fits your predicament ... Dean T. J. Mahoney American enterprise, immigration, industrialization, urbanization, egali- tarian access to education, and the rise of certification in the professions com- bined with the Catholic and Jesuit mission to spiritually and economically up- lift its flock. America was an open society where the separation of church and state encouraged the church to take on educational endeavors. The founding of Creighton University and its professional schools, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centur¡ was symptomatic of a national experience that sought to channel and match American brain power to a burgeoning, apparently lim- itless, array of opportunities. Father Michael P. Dowling and Count John A. Creighton comprised a formidable educational partnership whereby the latter provided the wherewithal for the former to rcalize his plans for educational de- velopment in Omaha. Paul L. Martin, the spokesperson for the law school from 1906 to 1920, captured this perceived sense of expansion and viewed the es- 13 14 1 , FOUNDERS AND BENEFACTORS tablishment of formal legal education in law schools as a logical development following the growth of population and the consequent increase of litigation.l Prologue Although the law school dates its existence from 1904, the idea for a ]esuit sponsored law school in Omaha dates from 1892.

  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.

  • Charting a Path for Federal Judiciary Reform
    Revisiting and Confronting the Federal Judiciary Capacity “Crisis”: Charting a Path for Federal Judiciary Reform Peter S. Menell* and Ryan Vacca** The modern federal judiciary was established well over a century ago by the Judiciary Act of 1891. Over the next seventy years, the structure and core functioning of the judiciary largely remained unchanged apart from gradual increases in judicial slots. By the mid- 1960s, jurists, scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers had voiced grave concerns about the capacity of the federal system to function effectively in the face of ever-increasing caseloads. Heeding calls for reform, in 1972 Congress charged a commission chaired by Senator Roman Hruska to study the functioning of the federal courts and recommend reforms. After extensive study, the Hruska Commission concluded that “[n]o part of the federal judicial system has borne the brunt of . increased demands [to protect individual rights and basic liberties and resolve difficult issues affecting the financial structure and commercial life of the nation] more than the courts of appeals.”1 The Commission called attention to the Supreme Court’s capacity constraints and the risks to the body of national law posed by the growing number of circuit conflicts.
