Hastings was the creation of Serranus 0OF THE LAW L Clinton Hastings but it was the intellectual extension of a brilliantly creative teacher, John Norton Pomeroy. Pomeroy was the College's first (and for three years only) professor. The Pomeroy System was a unique device for legal education which lasted just two decades, during the brief tenure of Pomeroy (1878-1885) and after his death for the professorship of his most devoted and luminous disciple, Charles William Slack, '82 (1885-1899). With the twentieth century, Hastings "received" the Langdell/Ames case-method of instruction, and the Pomeroy System disappeared. These portraits of Pomeroy and Hastings are excerptedfrom the Centennial History of Hastings, Hastings College of the Law: The First Century, The Centennial History will be published in the spring of 1978 by Hastings College of the Law Press. Thomas Garden Barnes, who did his undergraduate work at Harvard, his doc- torate in history at Oxford, and readfor the English Bar at Lincoln's Inn, is Pro- fessor of History and Law at the University of Cahfornia, Berkeley. A specialist in Tudor-Stuart English history and English legal history, he confesses to being both exhilaratedand humbled by this extended essay into history post-1641 and in the Far West. He stands in awe of Hastings' sub- lime self-assuredness in engaging a Boalt Hall professor (under 65) to write its Hastings College school seal of 1886 Centennial History. As he completes the work, he reflects on the blessing oflIssa- char, "a strong ass couching down between two burdens: And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant;and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute."

What urged him into the law is not clear, but he enrolled in the second class (possibly remaining resident at Berkeley and non-matriculated at Hast- ings in his first year), graduating LL.B. in 1882. He had caught Pomeroy's eye early on, and in his last year Slack worked as a "literary assistant" on volume three of Equity Jurisprudence.Slack had two years' practice behind him when he received Pomeroy's summons to fill in for Benham. What seemed temporary was to last considerably longer. When Pomeroy died in February 1885, Slack was left to carry the whole load to the end of the year. In May, Thomas McIntyre Cooley of Michigan refused the chair. Slack was named acting professor pending the appointment of a suitably eminent successor to Pomeroy. Save for constitutional law and Roman Law for seniors taught by William Carey Jones from Berkeley as an unpaid professor, 1886-1888, Slack carried the entire instructional load for three years. And his service did not end then, but continued until 1901. Pomeroy's departure and Slack's advent coincided with the worst period of the divisions within the College's government. Slack was left to fend for himself, in total command of the College's functioning. He was a match for the task, despite his tender age of twenty-seven. He was one of those rare individuals whose career as recorded

7 law school "is that judges and lawyers send their sons to it to be educated." The search for a new professor does not appear to have been prosecuted very vigor- ously. However, Slack was an ambitious man, desirous of building up a practice, and he was heavily overworked for the $4000 a year Hastings paid him (which was, incidentally, about $1000 more than the average paid to a professor at Berkeley). In April 1887, "the founder of this College" was authorized by the Board to engage William Gardiner Hammond of Washing- ton University, St. Louis, as principal professor at a salary not to exceed $5000. Hammond, who was certainly eminent, turned down the offer. Finally, in 1888, the Board persuaded Elisha W. McKinstry, whose term as a Justice of the California Supreme Court was coming to an end, to accept the professorship of municipal law. Slack consented to remain as assistant professor of municipal law at a reduced salary. McKinstry and Slack worked well together until at least 1892; the last three years of McKinstry were not so smooth for reasons that will be made clear. McKinstry and Slack split the work between them, Judge Slack McKinstry taking the bulk of the first year subjects and Slack the bulk of the second and third year subjects until 1894-5, when Slack had become Dean on the resignation of C.F. Dio Hastings (who had succeeded his younger brother, Robert, on the latter's death in 1891). In McKinstry's last year an attempt was made to parcel the work more equitably. Slack was very much the junior partner; he taught more for $2700 a year than McKinstry did for $5000. Shortly before becoming Dean, Slack was pro- moted to "professor," but neither this title nor the deanship brought a salary increase. No more power came with the new honors, not even the deanship. Slack had in fact if not in theory run Hastings since Pomeroy's death. In 1889 Slack reported that "the course of instruction at the college has remained susbtantially the same as that introduced by Prof. Pomeroy." He was right. While perhaps diminishing lecturing and increasing "recitation" and "discussion," Slack preserved the Pomeroy System. He continued to use syllabi for the second-year course; the Board authorized the printing of his own syllabi in September 1887. Slack was Pomeroy's disciple. McKinstry, a college graduate (Kenyon College) admitted in New York in 1847 after reading law in an isna w illiams viciinstry office, had no strong views on legal education and was not prepared to be particu- larly creative in it. McKinstry had a tend-

8 ency to verbosity (to judge from the Re- ports), but a very quick mind and a capacity to see to the heart of a legal issue. His opinions were well organized and clear. He was death on humbug and obfus- cation at bar (or on the bench). The Pomeroy System applied to his orderly and well-honed mind. The advent of Mc- Kinstry necessitated the first significant amendments to the System. Slack and McKinstry had to divide the work between them. In 1889-90 they adopted a system of course rubrics, such as we have today, although they preserved the names and most of the substance of Pomeroy subjects. The few frills to the Pomeroy System were maintained. Moot court continued, though compulsory participation was re- stricted to the middle and senior classes in 1886-7, and to the senior class only in 1894-5. Slack and McKinstry dutifully bore with the lectures on legal ethics. The Rev. Dr. William Platt had not been a classroom success for all of his reputation. Despite his oratorical skills, his grandilo- quence betrayed a shallow and conventional mind, no matter how deep his apparent scholarship might have been. He resigned in September 1882, and his chair of "ethics of the law and rules of morality" was deemed abolished by his resignation. The Kev.

9 in third year equity (no longer equity jurisprudence) used William A. Keener's Cases on Equity Jurisdiction and James Barr Ame's Cases on Trusts. Between 1896 and 1899, the entire curriculum at Hastings was restructured piecemeal, reflecting the reduced perspectives and interests, maybe the diminished capacities. There is probably no law professor alive who would not remark somewhat ruefully that the Pomeroy System, especially in its introductory first year, provided a pano- rama of the law that eludes our law schools today. The Pomeroy System might disappear, but the emphasis on comprehensiveness that was an attribute of it did not. The Hastings curriculum of 1898-9, and for many years after, sought to provide a broad grounding in all practical law. If the horizons were narrower, the program not so well structured to lead naturally from subject to subject with the growth of the student's grasp, Hastings still provided a balanced legal education. To quote an equitable maxim, Arbitramentum aequum tribuit cuique suum, a fair judgment gives each his due, the Hastings of the twentieth century must render due homage to Pome- roy's System of the nineteenth. Slack found it increasingly difficult to continue at Hastings to the satisfaction of his students, the Board, and his own high standards. The Board wanted a full-time dean and principal professor; memories of McKinstry were very fresh. In a rather formal exchange of letters between Slack and the Board in 1897, the Board accepted Slack's "terms" (which are not clear) in return for giving him time to wind-up his judicial duties and resign his judgeship. In the event, he reached an opposite conclu- sion in the next year, resigning the deanship in May 1898, but agreeing to remain as a caretaker until a suitable replacement could be found for him. He served one more full year before he was replaced. 0.. /.#04 Despite the load upon him, despite some ill-feeling between him and the Board, he From the U.C. Blue and Gold of 1886 never let his teaching slide. When finally he was released from what had become an intolerably heavy burden, he went with the Board's warm thanks and genuine respect. His successor and the Board continued his services in the classroom part-time until 1901. In 1903 he was named a Director. Only his death in 1945 ended the long association of Charles William Slack with the College that he had come to serve in as a teacher for a semester or two and stayed to serve for sixteen years.

12 Why should a teacher of law attempt to write a book which is primarily history? To one who asks this question, the author would reply that a half century of teaching in law schools has repeatedly taught him that the understanding of any presently operative rule of law is helped by the knowledge of the circumstances under which the rule originated and of the course of its evolution into its present form. Thus researching and writing about the first century of California law was a probable product of a life devoted to the training of embryo lawyers. To whatever extent this book contributes to the background needed by a lawyer it constitutes a useful contribution to the advancement of a great profession.

16 Rugby By-Line by Mike King

With the advent of the new season, Hastings Rugby Football Club looks as if it will once more field 3 successful sides against collegiate and club competition. An intrasquad scrimmage, a scrimmage against St. Mary's alumni, the Olde Gaels, and matches early in the season have shown that once again there is a large crop of new students with tremendous potential and that old ruggers don't fade away. A Saturday afternoon at the Golden Gate Park Polo Fields or some neighboring away grounds should prove exciting and stimu- lating for all those who wish to watch the Navy and White. Of particular interest to Alumni is the formation of the Hastings Old Boys (HOBS) for the Santa Barbara Tourna- ment, April 8-9, 1978.

In conjunction with the Centennial Year of the College, the Rugby Football Club will tour England and Wales during March of 1978. While in Wales, Hastings R.F.C. will learn skills and techniques from some of the top rugby players in the world and play three games against Welsh club sides, including host Llandaff who is celebrating its 100th year as a rugby club (image that!). On March 18, 1978 the Club will watch the Wales vs. France international match in Cardiff, this year's version of the Rugby Super Bowl. Scheduled while in England is a match with the London Law Society R.F.C. which should prove more than a mere joust of jurisprudence, and tentative matches with Balliol College, Oxford and Stanford University in England. The culmination of Hastings R.F.C.'s invasion of the Isles will be the "Battle of Hastings" on March 24th when it meets Hastings R.F.C., Sussex, England.

New programs offered in 1977 included the long-projected COLLEGE OF CRIMI- NAL JUSTICE ADVOCACY. Patterned after the Civil College, the Criminal Justice program, chaired by e. robert wallach, offers a seven-day seminar consisting of workshops, lectures, demonstrations, and panels in the art of criminal trial advocacy. Scheduled back-to-back with the Civil College, the new program was initiated in August 1977 and attracted a maximum enrollment of nearly two hundred attorneys from 37 states and Guam. It is anticipated that within two years, maximum registra- tion for the Criminal Justice seminar will match that of Civil College and that more than four hundred attorneys will attend each of the two programs annually. The 1977 Criminal Justice seminar has been approved for 40.5 hours of Criminal Spe- cialization credit by the State Bar of Wallace S.

20 In order to further meet the needs of the practicing bar in the area of trial skills, the Center is also offering a series of monthly programs during Winter-Spring 1978. Each month's seminar will focus on a particular facet of a civil trial (pre-trial, opening statement, examination of lay and expert witnesses, and summation), and consist of videotapes from past College of Advocacy programs. An on-site panel will comment, lead discussion and answer questions regarding the videotapes. Chairpersons for the monthly seminars are e. robert (bob) wallach, LeRoy Hersh, Sandra Shapiro, Joseph W. Rogers, Jr., and Henry Woods.

This innovative seminar was presented live at Hastings and beamed via NASA communications satellite to six down-sites throughout the state. Presentation of the program marked the first time that a communications satellite was utilized for a continuing legal education seminar. Other new programs included "A Day of Advo- cacy for Public Interest Attorneys" and on- site mini-Colleges in Santa Fe, New Mexi- co. The Santa Fe programs resulted from an invitation by Toney Anaya, New Mexi- co Attorney General, to present the Civil and Criminal Colleges in New Mexico utilizing the videotape/ on-site panel for- mat.

The Center initiated celebration of Hast- ings centennial year by sponsoring Profes- sor Irving Younger of Cornell University in a series of lectures on Evidence and Cross-Examination. Each lecture of the five-part series was attended by more than eight hundred judges, attorneys, and law students. Videotapes of the popular lectures were produced by Richard Dillman, head of the Hastings Television Office, for use by the Hastings community. During late 1977 and early 1978, the Center also sponsored the videotaping of the San Francisco Bar Association seminar on Juvenile Justice and co-operated with the International Academy of Trial Lawyers in the presentation of their annual The Hon. Robert F. Kane of San convention/ seminar which was held in San Francisco, presiding over the Civil Col- Francisco.

The seven-day Colleges have applications pending or have been approved for CLE credit in all states having such an accredi- tation. In addition, 1977 marked the first year that the Colleges were approved by the Veteran's Administration for V.A. educational benefits.

An excerpt from the school announcement 1926-27. Walter Davis as magician at a Variety Show, Berkeley Veterans Building, December 10, 1932.

My interest in California history began at Berkeley under the guidance of Professor Herbert Bolton. This led to my long-standing membership in the California Historical Society. My library contains a large collection of books, photos and memorabilia on the history of the state. The history of San Francisco is my first love. My grandfather, Captain Charles Davis, sailed into San Francisco Bay in the 1850's. My collection of books, newspapers, magazines, photos and memorabilia of the Earthquake and Fire of 1906 is quite large for a private collector. In keeping with my avid interest in state history, I am proud to have been a member and officer of the Native Sons of the Golden West for 49 years. From the age of eight, when my mother gave me a "Mysto Magic" set for Christmas, I have been interested in magic. I still have the complete set, which has since become a collector's item. As a performer and collector of magic artifacts, I have presented my act in many places during my lifetime. I have been a member of the Society of American Magicians for many years and have personally known most of the great magicians of the past 50 years. Certainly this is one of the greatest and most rewarding experiences of my life. Boxing is also an active hobby of mine. I have many books and photos of the greats and near-greats of the game.

28 Faculty Notes

Fond Farewell for Russell Sullivan Professor Russell N. Sullivan, an esteemed member of the Hastings Sixty-Five Club, and leading authority in the field of constitutional and labor law, was honored at a luncheon by the Hastings faculty on November 29, 1977. Professor Sullivan, former Dean of the University of Illinois College of Law, retired at the close of the Winter Semester, and has moved to Florida with his wife, Margaret. He was a professor at Hastings since 1967. A native of Corning, Ohio, Professor Sullivan graduated from Oberlin College, where he starred in basketball. He went on to the University of Illinois, where he received an LL.B. in 1937, and a year later was awarded an LL.M. degree from Columbia University. After teaching at the University of Illinois law school for ten years, he was named Dean of the College in 1957. He is the author of numerous articles on law and legal education, and is a member of the Order of the Coif, the Russell Sullivan chats with Rudolph Schlesinger American Bar Association, the American Judicature Soci- ety, the American Law Institute, and the Illinois State Bar Association, where he served on the Board of Governors and as President. Professor Sullivan distinguished himself as a respected and competent faculty member in his ten years of service at Hastings. Students, faculty and the staff and administration at Hastings join in wishing him the best on that other sunny coast.

Hearty hello for Raymond Sullivan Spring semester will mark the departure of one great Sullivan from our teaching staff and the coming of another. Professor Russell Sullivan will unfortunately be ending his teaching career at Hastings and giving this up for the joys of retirement. He will be sorely missed, but his memory and name will carry on-in more ways than one. Spring semester will also mark the beginning of the teaching career of Russell Sullivan's good friend and namesake- justice Raymond L. Sullivan (retired). Justice Sullivan comes to Hastings immediately following his retirement from the bench of the California Supreme Court in January of 1977. A native of San Francisco, Justice Sullivan received his A.B., J.D. and LL.M. degrees from the Justice Raymond L. Sullivan University of San Francisco as well as his LL.D. (honorary) degree from U.S.F. in 1972. In 1930, after admission to the California Bar, Justice eleven years of serving the California Supreme Court Sullivan practiced law for the firm of Malone & Sullivan. honorably, Justice Sullivan has retired, but only from the This partnership lasted for thirty years, and in 1961 Sullivan bench.

Von Beroldingen has served on the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco since 1966, and as an attorney has specialized in tax law and planning. She replaces a now retired alum, judge John A. O'Kane '32.

Wondering where all the Hastings alums go? Well, some of them return to their alma mater, contributing to the education of future alums. Bill '73 and Jan Smith '74 have. They have been teaching Legal Research and Writing at Hastings as a team since 1974, the only husband-wife teaching team to our knowledge Hastings has been privileged to have on its faculty. Working as a team, Bill and Jan tell us, has many advantages in the classroom, as they both try to bring the best of their experience and learning to their students, complementing each other's knowledge and styles, with the extra-added advantage of being able to cover for each other on those rare times when the rest of their busy schedules make it difficult to come to class. Bill continues his valuable contributions to his alma mater, where he began as one of the first student coordinators of Hastings College of Advocacy. He has long been an active member of the Hastings Alumni Association and the Alumni Association Placement Committee, and is currently the youngest member of the Board of Governors of the Association. In addition, he practices with the San Francisco firm of Gordon Van Kessel Abramson & Bianco.
