  • A Message from the Principal Chief David W. Hill
    A Message from the Principal Chief David W. Hill Hesci! As Principal Chief I am humbled and honored to establish the Mvskoke Reservation Protection Commission. This Commission is tasked to comprehensively undertake research, analysis and fact- finding to determine what actions and changes are necessary to develop new economic development, public safety, and social services policies that ensure a better future for tribal members and our neighbors as a result of the Supreme Court’s affirmation of our jurisdictional sovereignty over Mvskoke lands. The individuals on our Commission have been selected for their knowledge, education and experience in many specific areas that our historic victory concerns. As Muscogee (Creek) citizens, we are all heirs to a legacy of survival, perseverance and strength. Our ancestors dreamed that one day, we might find ourselves where we are right now. We have assembled the best and the brightest of us, from coast-to-coast all across the country to rise and meet this moment. No matter where you are if you are a citizen of this Nation, the Mvskoke Reservation is your home. And it’s up to each of us to protect it. The victory in the Supreme Court and the affirmation of our sovereignty was historic and will always be a day we fittingly celebrate. But, it’s the work we do now and moving forward that will ultimately stand the test of time and lead us to full victory. We have to work together to educate our neighbors that this decision is about clarity, not chaos. The opportunity in front of us to thrive is far greater than our Nation or the state of Oklahoma has ever seen.

J.D. or LL.B. as the Basic Law Degree? Marcus Schoenfeld* L EGAL EDUCATION IN THE United States is still evolving. In the past few decades the law schools have all but eliminated other means than law school study as preparation for the prac- tice of law. But, problems remain, especially in the area of content of the already crowded three-year day or four-year evening curricula, and in the area of graduate study. Compared to these major issues, the question of whether the first degree in law should be called an "LL.B." or a "J.D." seems trifling. Yet this is a very current question; the Special Committee on Graduate Study of the Association of American Law Schools is expected to report on this during the 1963 Annual Meeting. It is also ancient history, since "J.D.

  • The Origin of Ll.M. Programs: a Case Study of the University of Pennsylvania Law School
    THE ORIGIN OF LL.M. PROGRAMS: A CASE STUDY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA LAW SCHOOL MATTHEW S. PARKER* ABSTRACT Graduate legal education programs, the most common of which is the Legum Magister or LL.M., have come under increasing criticism in recent years in the United States. Many observers have accused law schools of offering these degrees as a means of raising revenue, and maintain that they provide no real value to graduates obtaining the degree as they are not respected in the market for legal services. Despite these negative appraisals, the number, size and types of these programs have continued to grow rapidly at American law schools across institutions of widely varying sizes and reputation. While much has been written on the recent development and current state of graduate law programs, almost nothing has been written on how and why these programs came into existence, de- spite the fact that a number of U.S. law schools claim that their pro- grams were founded well over a century ago. As LL.M. programs continue to blossom and law schools attempt to address the rising tide of criticism aimed at them, law faculty and administrators would be well advised to examine the origin and history of these degrees. Is it possible that law schools have been hoodwinking in- nocent lawyers into getting a useless degree for decades? Who were these degrees originally intended for and who ultimately chose to * Matthew Parker was Associate Dean for Graduate Programs and Executive Director of Legal Education Programs at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
