As the company's tax department evolved into its Governmental Affairs Division, Welch faced the task of becoming schooled in environmental law. In those days, there were few guides to such learning, and Welch recalls he was largely self-taught. For mentors, he turned to du Pont's experts on the environment. Welch obviously learned his lessons well. For several years he served as du Pont's chief legal representative on environmental matters. That incident could reflect a skilled lawyer fashioning a career with a prudent eye toward the needs of his employer. But there is more to the picture of Welch. He has helped to shape a new style of corporate lawyering. Corporate Responsibility and Public Interest Corporate counsel can no longer be merely adversaries defending corporations against government and the Charles E.

As the number of lawyers has been pushed up by demand for legal services. "There is an emphasis among the the influx of new law graduates, the median age of the general public upon rights and a refusal to accept anything practicing bar has dropped. It was 46 in 1970.

With only so much room at the top, he continued, for the College, a state supported institution which many whatever idealism students bring with them to law school regard as the best in the state. Professor Shipman saw no "quickly gives way to cynicism when they see there's two problem with letting the market run its course as far as hundred or so other people equally competitive, equally private law schools are concerned.

"It's unfortunate that this spirit of competition is here," Professor Shipman A phase back in admissions to the College, Dean Meeks said, sympathized. "But that's the way it is out in the real world, would raise another problem, the question of "who decides at the bar downtown.

That did not work either. of the College to inform them of the likelihood they will get a job. Professor Shipman advocated Dean Jack Henderson requiring law schools to give "full disclosure . . . as to what the job possibilities are." To some different employment opportunities will open up at different extent the College already does that. "We are very candid" points in one's career. A person graduating from Ohio State explained Dean Henderson. "We tell applicants to this law who isn't hired by a big law firm or who doesn't get the job school, 'you're going to have to work hard. It is a tight job that they want out of law school is not denied permanently market and we don't guarantee you anything.'

"That's something our students need to understand." maintain enrollment. According to Dean Henderson, this As the ABF figures confirm, the need for lawyers is still means working more closely with undergraduate pre-law unmet in rural areas and small towns. But Professor Shipman advisors, who are much more sophisticated now. It may also remarked on the difficulty of directing students into those job entail shifting some scholarship resources away from need markets. According to Betsey Case, one problem is that at based awards and to those based on merit. Most important, present there is no organized setting for bringing together law it may spell an increased involvement of alumni. "I believe students and small, non-metropolitan firms or sole it's necessary for us to know more about our applicant pool," practitioners who might be looking for associates. "It's not an Dean Henderson said, "perhaps to focus our recruiting easy problems to address," she said, "because a need doesn't efforts in a different way and also to work with those of you arise every year." that are alumni to help us attract those young people to us."

"We need to help students get rid of the stigma that if Competition among students for the real or perceived you don't enter traditional practice then you're a failure, that declining number of jobs with blue chip law firms pressures things are kind of lost for you," said Dean Henderson. also for changes in placement services. The College's Michael Gregory agreed: "We have to dispel a myth that placement office has increased the number and variety of on going to work for a corporation is bad, going to work for government service is bad. It sometimes campus job interviews, according to Michael Gregory. becomes very difficult to do." Nonetheless, Merely increasing the number of on campus interviews may both Henderson and Gregory believe the not be enough, however. As Dean Henderson noted, more College has a responsibility to help students and more of the firms which interview on campus are feel they can be successful however they becoming highly selective, seriously considering only eventually employ their legal talents. students in the top fifteen percent of the class or with law journal experience. Consequently, the fall interview process may hold little promise for even the good student in the middle third of the class. Addressing the needs of those students who, because of their class rank, are not (a immediately flooded with offers is important, advised tfk National Council member Betsey Case. "I think that's a Betsey Brewster I ffl challenge for those who have an interest in the law school." Students would like to see more frankness on the part of interviewing firms. Explicit statement of the credentials which How does legal education respond? qualify an applicant for employment consideration, they believe, would help decrease student frustration and Will it change in response to the exponential growth of cynicism. Yvette McGee objected to open interviews which lawyers? "The answer is yes, it already has," Professor students interpret as implying they will be given equal Murphy stated. The harder question is how legal education consideration based on whatever they have to offer a firm. and the College should respond. The answers to that The consensus among students, she said, "is that we would question seem to depend on what are viewed as the rather you tell us what you're going to be looking for. If problems created by the increase. you're only going to consider the top twenty percent of the Some, like Professors Murphy and Shipman, predict legal class, then tell us. Don't waste our time." education will become more practice oriented. Shipman For those who do not get jobs through the fall interview thinks a swing to a medical school model, which is "highly process, the placement office may have to develop new ways practical" and emphasizes clinical training, is especially of getting their credentials before prospective employers, appropriate in light of the large numbers of graduates going advised Dean Henderson. "Moves in this direction have into solo practice. "It's a very hard thing to go out and to set already been made," according to Karen Timko. However, she up a solo practice," he said, "and I doubt if any of the law also noted that many students who did not rely on fall schools can turn their back on it any longer. The Ohio State interviews and launched their own job search found the Bar Association is not.

Cautioning against a casual approach to solo practice, Shipman noted that sole practitioners can no longer rely on Changing Student Perceptions referring out legal problems. "If you start doing that, your whole practice goes," he said. Corporate tax, business Perhaps the biggest challenges in the area of placement are planning, and bankruptcy are among the practical courses educating students about the changing job market and Shipman said he recommends to students bound for solo changing students' career attitudes.

"What the where if the instructor didn't cut it off at seventy-five, the institution owes the state and the people is to be the best in instructor would have a hundred and fifty students." the state and to continue to improve."

Admissions and Recruitment Change Poses Challenges for Admissions In the face of a nationwide average 13% decline in applications and a smaller 3% decline in enrollments, law schools across the country are increasing and revamping their recruitment efforts! The College has launched an intensified recruitment campaign with a unique personal touch aimed at encouraging the best qualified applicants to enroll at OSU. Reasons for the decline in law school applications are unclear. What is clear is that it is "following a national pattern in all of our graduate professional schools," David Vernon told a faculty seminar at Dean Jack Henderson, Professor Albert Clovis and Dean Peter Gerhart Joined by alumni at the College last September.

Both are third-year Prompted by a belief in the value of learning to write well, the venture was students with a deep interest in conceived early last year. Students proposed founding a second journal at the alternative dispute resolution and a College initially as a means for providing more law students with an opportunity strong commitment to the journal's to gain writing experience. Through a series of meetings during the winter quarter success. Egbert worked last summer for 1984, the idea for the new journal took shape. In the end, the students decided to the National Institute for Dispute field a publication focusing on alternative dispute resolution, an area of growing Resolution in Washington, D.C. interest to the legal profession. Demetry said that starting the venture and editing the journal are "the It was a sound choice. The Ohio State Journal on Alternative Dispute Resolution equivalent of a full-time job." will be the only journal devoted exclusively to rigorous scholarly analysis of the issues in the field. It is also the only journal in the field to be managed and edited entirely by law students. From the beginning, the new journal has been a student run project, taxing their ingenuity and commitment. Having ascertained start up costs of $10,000, the students organized a fund raising drive, launched last summer with a donation from the SBA. The drive, aimed primarily at law firms and legal profession organizations, has been an encouraging success. Nearly 90 percent of the firms and organizations that expressed an interest in the new journal eventually contributed to funding the venture. As if this was not enough, the editorial board was confronted with a multitudé of other tasks: assembling a national advisory board, conducting a first writing competition for membership on the journal, securing law faculty approval of James Demetry and Marcia Egbert academic credit for student participation on the journal, preparing bid specifications and negotiating a contract with a printer, and soliciting feature A desire to succeed and a recognition articles for a journal that had no established reputation. of a growing need among the legal Hard work and long hours have led to success for the board.

"Everyone we've talked to has been supportive," Demetry said. The co­ editors also attribute their success to continued support, encouragement and advice from the editorial board of the Ohio State Law Journal.
