My son and his family gave me this massive book for my birth­ day. It was a splendid choice. The book is one that ought to inter­ est anyone who cares about law. It is a highly readable biography of an extraordinary judge.1 The book was of particular interest to me both because of the special concern I have for the federal courts and because I had the privilege of seeing Judge Hand in action. In the 1949-1950 term I clerked for Judge Charles E. Clark of the Second Circuit, during the time when Learned Hand was chief judge.

STARE DECISIS AMONG [SIC] THE APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS *Taylor Mattis **Kenneth G. Yalowitz What precedential impact should be accorded to decisions of the Appel- late Court of Illinois? Authors Mattis and Yalowitz examine the Illinois history of the stare decisis doctrine as it relates to Illinois appellate deci- sions. They demonstrate the inadequacy of the present Illinois approach, which requires trial courts to follow appellate court decisions of any divi- sion while those divisions remain free to adopt conflicting positions. Alter- native approaches to this question are then analyzed in detail. The authors conclude by recommending a two-pronged approach. First, all appellate court divisions should recognize decisions of coordinate divisions as bind- ing unless clearly erroneous. Second, if an appellate division decides that a decision of a coordinate division was erroneous, its contrary opinion should be regarded as having overruled the prior decision.

  • Memorial Minute in Memory of Wechsler
    430 • 2000 PROCEEDINGS The Memorial Minute in memory of Herbert Wechsler was read by Chair of the Council Roswell B. Perkins. Herbert Wechsler December 4, 1909 - April 26, 2000 Out of the nine decades of the life of Herbert Wechsler, 46 years were ones of membership in The American Law Institute and 21 years were ones of extraordinary service as the third Director of the Institute. It is unlikely that the magnificence of his contributions to the Institute will ever be surpassed. In his oral interview with Paul Wolkin in 1989, Herb said (and I cannot refrain from calling him Herb in spite of the formality of this biographical memorial): I remember it took quite a lot of courage on my part, after I'd been a Reporter for a couple of years, to ask Judge Goodrich if he'd either propose me or get me proposed as a member. He looked at me with astonishment and said, "You mean you're not a member?" Of course Judge Goodrich, Herb's predecessor as Director, promptly remedied this institutional oversight in the same year, 1954. Herb's choice of a career in service of the law was attributable in part to the fact of his being the son of a lawyer, Samuel Wechsler. Herb was born in New York City, brought up in Manhattan, and entered City College of New York at the age of 15, graduating in 1928 with a degree in French. In a dialogue recorded in the Columbia Oral History Project, conducted between 1978 and 1982, Herb gave us this vignette of his col­ lege days: I was not only apolitical, but rather anti-political in col­ lege.

U. L. REV. 107 (1996). FRED RODELL’S CASE AGAINST THE LAW KEN VINSON* The society of lawyers is doing quite well, thank you, what with a great many of this country’s 900,000 lawyers paying their country club dues out of petty cash. Yet, for these proud toilers in the billable-hours trade—one attorney at law for every 300 Americans—and for the 50,000 new attorneys entering the legal profession annually, there’s a lining not so silvery. Anti-lawyer elements, agitated by the mumbo jumbo that lawyers use to lord it over the common herd, are raising lawyer-bashing to record heights. Bombarded by these negative reviews, a nervous lawyer is surely tempted of late to do a Richard Nixon and announce: “I am not a shyster.” Lawyer-bashing has so numbed the legal-eagle clan that re- form groups such as HALT (originally known as Help Abolish Le- gal Tyranny) are even winning a few battles to force lawyers to use plain English in writing deeds and contracts.

  • The 2021-2022 Guide to State Court Judicial Clerkship Procedures
    The 2021-2022 Guide to State Court Judicial Clerkship Procedures The Vermont Public Interest Action Project Office of Career Services Vermont Law School Copyright © 2021 Vermont Law School Acknowledgement The 2021-2022 Guide to State Court Judicial Clerkship Procedures represents the contributions of several individuals and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their ideas and energy. We would like to acknowledge and thank the state court administrators, clerks, and other personnel for continuing to provide the information necessary to compile this volume. Likewise, the assistance of career services offices in several jurisdictions is also very much appreciated. Lastly, thank you to Elijah Gleason in our office for gathering and updating the information in this year’s Guide. Quite simply, the 2021-2022 Guide exists because of their efforts, and we are very appreciative of their work on this project. We have made every effort to verify the information that is contained herein, but judges and courts can, and do, alter application deadlines and materials. As a result, if you have any questions about the information listed, please confirm it directly with the individual court involved. It is likely that additional changes will occur in the coming months, which we will monitor and update in the Guide accordingly. We believe The 2021-2022 Guide represents a necessary tool for both career services professionals and law students considering judicial clerkships. We hope that it will prove useful and encourage other efforts to share information of use to all of us in the law school career services community.
