7 College News Meet the Class o f 2002. A s the twentieth century comes to a close, it is natural to reflect on the more than 100 years of legal education at The Ohio State University College of Law. Like the colleges first students in the late nineteenth century, the men and women in todays classes look to the future with high hopes and great aspirations. Those first students meeting in the Franklin County Courthouse were breaking ground in the field of legal studies. Todays future lawyers are still on the cutting edge as they study areas of law that were unimagined in the 1890s. Academic programs at the College of Law continue to challenge students and prepare them for their roles as our global leaders. The Alternative Dispute Resolution Program and our clinical programs are second to none. Seventy- eight pre-eminent scholars and distinguished lecturers from around the world, including a Justice of the South African Constitutional Court, are participating in workshops, symposia, and lectures offered at the College this year. These programs focus on a variety of important legal issues, Dean Gregory H. Williams shares his vision for diversity in the legal profession with President such as resolution of disputes arising from Internet use, William Jefferson Clinton during a meeting at the White House. The dean was among technology’s impact on intellectual property, and the first members of the legal community who met with President Clinton on July 20 to discuss the president’s diversity agenda. ten years of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In particular, lawyers representing criminal defendants Thomas excluded anywhere else.”1 Today, a century later, Thayers had much less power than their counterparts in civil description retains nearly all of its original force. Despite practice. In the late eighteenth century, even as the use of P.

Significandy, he was not allowed to address the jury. How, when, and why did this quintessentially Anglo- On this point, an Old Bailey judge in 1790 was emphatic; American approach to testimony develop?

On its face, the working assumption seems in place until 1836 and had important implications for plausible. The only problem is that a collection of primary evidentiary practice. Lawyers in civil litigation could speak sources, used in this article for the first time, points in direcdy to the jury, which enabled them to explain away exacdy the opposite direction. The “British Trials” unsafe testimony or to disparage its reliability. In contrast, collection (see box on page 3 for more detail) contains lawyers representing criminal defendants were forced to Professor Thomas P. Gallanis more than one thousand pamphlet accounts of civil and focus their energies on vigorous cross-examination and the criminal trials from the seventeenth, eighteenth, and use of evidentiary objections. This new level of courtroom nineteenth centuries. These pamphlets, many of which warfare alarmed observers at the time, but it was the logical contain near-verbatim accounts of what happened in court, response to the limited ways in which lawyers were able to reveal that the routine use of the objection to block act on behalf of their clients. testimony from the jury developed only after lawyers had All of this made sense in the criminal context. But how begun to appear regularly in criminal trials. did the exclusionary approach to evidence migrate into civil I conducted a sample of the civil trial pamphlets in the litigation? To answer this question, we need to look closely “British Trials” collection from the years 1745 to 1820. In at the particular lawyers who made the most use of the first fifteen years, the sample contained no testimonial testimonial objections. objections whatsoever. Between 1765 and 1780, the One advantage of the “British Trials” pamphlets is number of such objections per case increased slightly, first that they often identify the lawyers involved in the case. to 0.67 and then to 1.0. This pattern of minimal growth In the civil trial pamphlets I sampled, the two most was replaced by a noticeable jump between 1785 and 1790, prominent objectors were James Adair and William when the number rose to 3.5. A moderate increase then Garrow, both of whom had significant prior experience brought the number to 5.0 between 1795 and 1800, in criminal cases. James Adair spent ten years as recorder followed by a mild downturn (4.2) between 1805 and of London, presiding over eighty sessions of criminal 1810. Finally, between 1815 and 1820 another increase trials at the Old Bailey. He stepped down in 1789 and raised the number to 8.0. then worked as a barrister, predominandy on civil cases What could have caused the use of testimonial in the Court of Common Pleas. William Garrow built objections in civil cases to develop in the late eighteenth his career at the Old Bailey, where he became known century? The answer, I argue, is the influence from criminal as the leading criminal lawyer in London and a master procedure. I base this argument on three grounds: first, at cross-examination. In 1793, however, he was made chronology; second, the restrictions in criminal cases on a King’s Counsel and began to work exclusively on counsel’s power; and third, the particular lawyers raising civil litigation. most of the objections. No two men by themselves could have established According to the data, a noticeable increase in the the evidentiary objection as a regular feature of civil number of objections to oral evidence began sometime in practice, but it is right to think of Adair and Garrow the 1780s. I have been unable to find any reason particular as members of a larger group of lawyers whose experiences to civil cases that would explain this phenomenon. But in criminal practice had an influence on their conduct thanks to recent scholarship, we know that the appearance in civil litigation. As lawyers began working more of lawyers in criminal trials rose sharply beginning in 1780. and more in criminal trials, it is natural that the skills It is highly suggestive that the use of testimonial objections and techniques needed for success in that arena would, in civil cases rose only a few years after an increase in over time, be deployed on the civil battlefield as well. lawyer participation in criminal trials. But to be persuasive, This aggressive attitude was a crucial impetus for the the connection between the two must rest on more than development of the modern, exclusionary approach to mere chronology. evidence.

These pamphlets give us a new window into everything that happened at trial, from the changing role of lawyers to the development of the law of evidence." Gallanis is one of the first historians to use the British Trials collection. It formed the backbone of his recent article "The Rise of Modern Evidence Law." This article turned the conventional wisdom on its head. Gallanis explains: "Most historians thought that evidentiary objections were used mainly in civil cases, because that's where the lawyers were. But instead I found that the objection became a regular feature in criminal cases first, and spread to civil litigation later." England's leading organization of legal historians, the Selaen Society, recognized Gallanis's work by awarding his article the 1999 David Yale Prize.

In the meantime, he married a U.S. citizen, Duruji, a Columbus-area restaurant chef, father of four began to raise a family, and worked a steady job.

Nine months later he was apprehended— College, where he eventually received both a bachelor’s and without warning—after the INS apparently realized the a master’s degree in Political Science. He was ordered mistake. Robinson, an associate for Bloomfield and Kempf, says that Duruji broke the technical requirements of the law, but the INS also had responsibilities to fulfill in enforcing the rules. It is a situation that unfortunately is occurring more often, according to Robinson. “This large problem is becoming more and more aggravating,” he says. He adds that because of similar mix- ups, “every year, tens of thousands of people overstay their visa and, as a result, some of these individuals receive a final order of deportation.” For Magnus Duruji and his family, there is light at the end of the tunnel. On September 15, U.S. District Judge Algenon L. Marbley ordered the 38-year-old immigrant freed on $15,000 surety bail; furthermore, Robinson was able to arrange work authorization for his client who is now back at work, legally, after months of detention. “We are 95 percent of the way there,” Robinson said. “We are waiting for District Counsel for INS to re-open the case so Mr. Duruji can properly pursue his green card.” A recommendation from immigration authorities to dismiss the deportation order probably would allow Duruji to stay in the United States indefinitely and eventually allow him to apply to become a citizen. Working with many situations of this nature, Robinson says that his Ohio State College of Law education has been very beneficial. He had studied in Europe on a FLAS (Foreign Language Area Study) Fellowship, earning him extensive language and professional skills.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
This year creates an extraordinary opportunity to reflect on the progress of the 20th century and the challenges of the 21st. That reflective process will certainly be stimulated by the group of speakers, panels and scholars who have been invited to The Ohio State University College of Law during the coming months.
Our discussions will focus on the great potential of the future, through such topics as the Impact of Technological Change, New Paradigms of Lawyering, and Alternative Dispute Resolution in Cyberspace. Retrospective considerations will examine the Americans With Disabilities Act, the relationships between the law and the social sciences, and historical legal practices throughout the world.
We are especially pleased to have two distinguished legal educators to deliver our most prestigious lectures. Professor Deborah Rhode of Stanford University has graciously agreed to be our Frank R. Strong Law Forum speaker. Professor Carrie J. Menkel-Meadow of Georgetown University Law Center will deliver our nationally recognized Schwartz Lecture on Dispute Resolution.
I hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a year-long series of thought-provoking programs and lively deliberations.

The 1990 enactment of the ADA reflected a decision by Congress to address a form of discrimination many Americans face daily, but that few choose to recognize: discrimination based on one’s actual or perceived physical or mental impairments. Notwithstanding this legislative mandate, the implementation of the ADA has given rise to a range of controversies in the courts and in the academy. Professor Ruth Colker, reknowned for her work in disability law, has organized an outstanding program.
