6 Law Notes very spring the Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association selects two alumni to honor for their contributions to the profession and to the College Eof Law. The 1997 Outstanding Alumni are the Honorable John L. Angelotta '52 and RichardS. Koblentz '75. The Association will celebrate the careers of these two exemplary graduates at a luncheon beginning at 11 :30 a.m. on May 22 at the Renaissance Hotel on Public Square.

ich Koblentz is a private practitioner; Jack Angelotta is a jurist. Each has brought distinction to his alma mater and to the prac­ Rtice of law in northeast Ohio. Both share a devotion to the city and have worked in various community organizations to improve the lives of fellow Clevelanders. And both share a lifelong love of baseball: In boyhood both hoped to play in the major leagues; eventually, both turned to law, substituting one exacting discipline for another.

The Today we are acknowledging a very special milestone Constitutions of Ohio and Allied Documents, published in the life of our Law Library, our College of Law, and our by Arthur H. Clark in Cleveland, is on display in the University. There are only about SO academic law libraries in the entire country that have a legal collection as large as the Cleveland-Marshall Law Library Collection. We are proud to have the second largest legal collection in the State of Ohio and the largest in Northern Ohio. But this celebration is about much more than the size of our col­ lection. It is also about why it grew and what this growth represents. Our 1997 Law Library collection is an important and unique resource because it has been supported by so many people over the years: people like our law students who several years ago approved a special increase in their fees to support library acquisition; people like our law faculty and our law deans, who, recognizing the importance of the Law Library to the educational and research mission of Phyllis Gary Elaine Chima the College of Law, have passionately supported the Law Library even in difficult financial times; people like our alumni, our law school staff and our many friends who have made generous donations to our Law Library; people like our university administrators who have provided the budget which has allowed us to build and maintain our collection; people like the members of our Law Library staff who have used their talents to select carefully books and other materials that satisfy the educational and research needs of our patrons, who process the material so it is accessible to all library users, and who assist everyone in the use of our collection. A 400,000-volume collection is important because of what it does and has done for so many, especially the gen­ erations of students who have gone on to serve this com­ munity, this state, this country, and this planet and have had their education enriched by the use of our collection. Moreover, the collection has been an essential resource for our faculty who, throughout the years, have come to the library to prepare themselves to teach and who have researched our collection to write important articles and Michael Slinger, Louise Dempsey, Steven Steinglass, Marie Rehmar Continued on page 32

News from around the world and around the corner. Spring 1997 31 Book Ceremony from page 25 books that serve the interests of the law. The collection is an important resource for the practicing bar of this community who consult our collec­ tion in writing an extraordinary num­ ber of briefs and other legal docu­ ments in service to their clients and the interests of justice. And it has been important for the average citi­ zen, who can avail himself or herself of our collection when in need of legal information. All of these great and noble achievements are the legacy of our collection. Because of the strength and diversity of the resources found in our collection, these contributions to legal practice and legal scholarship will not diminish in the future. For our collection is not defined solely by the number of books or microfiche on our shelves. Instead, it is defined by the information it provides, by the commitment it represents to a flour­ ishing and rigorous legal education, by the opportunity it offers to con­ duct serious research and scholarship, and by the power of legal information it extends to all citizens who seek it out. Our collection represents the commitment of thousands of individ­ uals over many generations. And I am certain that this commitment will continue for generations to come. Because it is not really just the Law Library Collection that we are here to celebrate today. We are also here to celebrate everything that we stand for as a law school, as a University, and as a people committed to a society based on the rule of law, in a state that rec­ ognizes that all of its citizens should have access to legal information. Thank you so much for coming here today to help us celebrate a mile­ stone that represents not merely a number, but instead represents who we are as a law school and who we aspire to be. •
