  • The Adelaide Law School 1883-1983
    THE ADELAIDE LAW SCHOOL 1883-1983 by Victor Allen Edgeloe Dr Edgeloe, Registrar Emeritus of the University of Adelaide, was Secretary of the Faculty of Law from 1927 to 1948, and Registrar from 1955 to 1973. Since his retirement Dr Edgeloe has written an account of the foundation and development of the Faculties of Law, Medicine and Music. His aim was, as he states in the preface, "to provide an administrator's history of the birth of the University's schools of law, medicine and music" which '%umrnarises the relevant records of the University and the relevant comments of the public press of the day". The manuscript is held in the Barr Smith Library. It shows Dr Edgeloe's love of, and devotion to, the University which he served for forty-six years. The Adelaide Law Review Association is grateful to him for permission to include his history of the Law School in this collection of essays. The Beginnings In the 1870's the Province of South Australia was a pioneering community which was expanding rapidly in numbers and in area occupied. There was a clear need for a growing body of well-trained lawyers. The existing arrangements for the training of lawyers involved simply the satisfactory completion of a five-year apprenticeship with a legal practitioner (technically designated "service in articles") and the passing of a small range of examinations conducted by the Supreme Court. University teaching in law was available in the United Kingdom and had also been established in Melbourne.' The South Australian Parliament envisaged a similar development here for it empowered the University from its foundation in 1874 to confer degrees in law and thus give the University a major role in the training of members of the legal profession within the Province.

  • Can Academic Freedom in Faith-Based Colleges and Universities Survive During the Era of Obergefell?
    CAN ACADEMIC FREEDOM IN FAITH-BASED COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES SURVIVE DURING THE ERA OF OBERGEFELL? Charles J. Russo† INTRODUCTION On August 15, 1990, Saint Pope John Paul II promulgated Ex Corde Ecclesiae (“Ex Corde”),1 literally, “From the Heart of the Church,” an apostolic constitution about Roman Catholic colleges and universities. By definition, apostolic constitutions address important matters concerning the universal Church.2 Ex Corde created a tempest in a teapot for academicians by requiring Roman Catholics who serve on faculties in theology, religious studies, and/or related departments in Catholic institutions of higher education to obtain a Mandatum, or mandate, from their local bishops, essentially a license certifying the faithfulness of their teaching and writing in terms of how they present the magisterial position of the Church.3 † B.A., 1972, St. John’s University; M. Div., 1978, Seminary of the Immaculate Conception; J.D., 1983, St. John’s University; Ed.D., 1989, St. John’s University; Panzer Chair in Education and Adjunct Professor of Law, University of Dayton (U.D.). I extend my appreciation to Dr. Paul Babie, D. Phil., Professor of Law and Legal Theory, Adelaide Law School, The University of Adelaide, Australia; Dr. Suzanne E. Eckes, Professor, Professor, Department of Teacher Leadership and Policy Studies, Indiana University; Dr. Ralph Sharp, Associate Professor Emeritus, East Central University, Ada, Oklahoma; William E. Thro, General Counsel and Adjunct Professor of Law, University of Kentucky; and Professor Lynn D. Wardle, Bruce C. Hafen Professor of Law, J. Reuben Clark Law School, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, for their useful comments on drafts of the manuscript.
