  • EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION. by Arthur Larson
    Vol. 1977:287] BOOK REVIEW EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION. By Arthur Larson. New York: Matthew Bender, 1975. 2 vols. (1: Sex; 2: Procedures and Remedies) (looseleaf). $100.00. Reviewed by Allen G. Siegel* and Jeffrey P. Ayres** While Professor Arthur Larson is not the first to examine the legal ramifications of unfair employment practices in general, or even to focus on sex discrimination in particular, his two-volume treatise, Employment Dis- crimination, promises to achieve a well-deserved reputation in both of these areas. For Employment Discrimination is a treatise in every sense of the word. The person who is unfamiliar with either the theoretical or procedural aspects of sex discrimination laws will profit immensely by reading both volumes from cover to cover. Through an extensive use of hypotheticals and examples, Professor Larson seems to come right out of the pages to conduct a course on employment discrimination, far beyond the introductory level. The practitioner who specializes in this area will also find Employment Discriminationto be an invaluable research tool. Both the table of contents and the index are surprisingly functional-especially in comparison to other works of this scope. The appendices, which include pertinent statutes, regulations and legislative histories, as well as the section containing forms, help to make the treatise a truly self-contained body of knowledge. With anticipated periodic supplements, Employment Discrimination will continue to provide the means for quickly locating anything from the latest district court decision on an arcane procedural point to the current weight of authority on the legality of a particular employment practice. Moreover, the practitioner, who must advise clients as well as litigate for them, will find Professor Larson's interpretations of the many unsettled aspects of sex discrimination law to be extremely enlightening and persuasive to judges considering a question of first impression.

Because of the relationship of the tl-10 classes, many questions which should be legal in nature become political because of one or more of the parties involved are unwilling to accept the decision that would result from adjudication of the issues.

  • Inducted January, 2012
    Inducted January, 2012 Lewis Arthur Larson (July 4, 1910 — March 27, 1993) was an American lawyer, law professor, United States Under Secretary of Labor from 1954 to 1956, director of the United States Information Agency from 1956 to 1957, and Executive Assistant to the President for Speeches from 1957 to 1958. Lewis Arthur Larson (his first name was never used) was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He was the third of five children of Lewis Larson and Anna Huseboe Larson, both of whom were second-generation Americans of Norwegian descent. Larson's father was a family court judge in Sioux Falls. Arthur Larson attended the public schools there and the local Lutheran college, Augustana, and then studied law at Pembroke College, Oxford (1932-1935) as a Rhodes Scholar. He was married to Florence Newcomb on July 31, 1935. He then worked as a lawyer for four years (1935-1939) with the firm of Quarles, Spence and Quarles in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When depression-era conditions led to his layoff in the summer of 1939, Larson found a job as assistant professor of law at the University of Tennessee Law School in Knoxville, Tennessee. While there, he and Florence Newcomb Larson had two children. In 1941, during World War II, Larson moved on to Washington, D.C., when he mostly worked as a lumber industry regulator at the Office of Price Administration (OPA). In 1945 he became an assistant professor of law at Cornell Law School. Over the next seven years he produced a legal treatise on the Law of Workmen's Compensation (Mathew Bender: 1952), which led to his being named dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1953.

CORNELL LAW QUARTERLY VOLUm 40 WINTER, 1955 NUMBER 2 THE LAWYER AS CONSERVATIVEt Arthur Larson* Lawyers, we are often told, are naturally conservative. For example, when someone asks, "Why are the lawyers (along with the doctors) the only people left who have successfully resisted social security coverage?," the answer is apt to run something like this: "The lawyer's training and function necessarily incline him toward conservatism. His job is to conserve rights of property and person under established laws and precedents. His job is not to innovate and pioneer, but to stabilize and preserve." My purpose tonight is to examine this assumption that lawyers are, and by nature should be, conservative, in order to discover what it means and what its implications are in a time when everything round us seems to be changing with increasing rapidity. What is conservatism? There is good conservatism, and bad conservatism. Or, if you like, there is true conservatism, and spurious conservatism.

Duke Professor of Law, has retired after twenty-two years of teaching at the Duke Law School. For a man of Dr. Larson's energy and diverse interests, the notion of retirement may have little significance. The occasion is important to the members of the Duke Law Journal,however, for it provides the opportunity to thank him for his outstanding teaching, for his many valuable contri- butions to this Journal,and for his lasting friendship to the students of Duke Law School. It is also an opportunity for us to pay well-deserved tribute to Dr. Larson for his accomplishments as a versatile scholar, a prolific writer, and a distinguished public servant. Thus, we are pleased to present a tribute to Dr. Arthur Larson. To help us recall Dr. Larson's many achievements, the Editors have asked five men who have known and worked with him to comment on various aspects of his multifaceted career. All of us join his friends, colleagues, and Duke students past and present in thanking and honoring him, and we wish him great happiness in his retirement.
