THE QUAD 17 amar Smith went to law school with the dream of one day becoming a Texas Justice of the Peace. The Mr. Chairman Ljob was part-time but still paid well and sometimes provided a county-owned Lamar Smith '75 car to those in the office. While that dream remains unfulfilled, the 63-year-old Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law alum (Class of 1975) has done okay in the three decades since graduating. In January, he was named by his peers in the U.S. House of Representatives to be the Chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee.

“It’s not Justice of the Peace, but it’s not a bad view either,” said Rep. Smith, who gazes out his Rayburn House Office Building window across Independence Avenue at an unobstructed view of the U.S. Capitol. “I have been extraordinarily blessed to have one of the best jobs in the country. My time at SMU Law School certainly helped prepare me for this position.”

Rep. Smith was first elected to Congress as a Republican in 1987. His district, Texas’ 21st, includes parts of Austin and San Antonio, as well as most of the Texas Hill Country. Besides being the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, he serves on the Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Science, Space and Technology.

The Chairman, who was born in San Antonio, is a fifth-generation Texan. He graduated from the Episcopal School of Texas, which is a co-ed college preparatory school in San Antonio. He graduated in 1969 from Yale University, where he majored in American Studies.

24 SMU DEDMAN SCHOOL OF LAW Dedman Match Continues to Double Impact of Gifts

SMU Dedman School of Law remains extremely appreciative of the continued support of the Dedman family, which has demonstrated its commitment to the law school through its extensive history of making gifts as well as matching the gifts of others.

Under the terms of the Dedman Match, 70% of its match will be used for scholarships, while the remaining 30% will be set aside to fund faculty positions. In order to receive the match, University policies require that the gifts be at “endowment levels”: a minimum of $100,000 for scholarships and $1 million for faculty positions. These endowment gifts ensure the long-term success of SMU Dedman School of Law and can serve as a lasting tribute as the income they generate over time is used to serve the donor’s purposes.

Callejo moved with her family from Millet to Dallas after high school and attended night school at SMU while continuing to support her family. She moved to California in 1945 to help her brother who had been blinded during World War II. While there, she became a successful entrepreneur and met her husband William “Bill” F. Callejo. The couple returned to Dallas in 1951, where she resumed studies at SMU, earning her J.D. and undergraduate degrees concurrently. She was the first Hispanic woman to earn a J.D. from SMU Dedman School of Law. Callejo has been a champion for the underprivileged ever since. A founding member of the DHBA, Callejo has mentored young, mostly Latina attorneys over the past 20 years and has helped diversify the organization by including members from all socio-economic spheres and legal practice areas. Over the years, Callejo has become known for her sincerity, ambition, and outspoken and opinionated person- ality, inspiring young attorneys to pursue their goals—even in the face of obstacles—on the road to achievement.
