The Senate of the United States has confirn1ed that nomination and the appointment has now been n1ade. The commission which has already gone to Mr Schatz and will be retained by him temporarily is in the 21 hands of the Clerk of the Court, and I will ask the Clerk 22 now to read that commission.

The dimensions of your judgeship, Judge Schatz, will be your dimensions.

The law school infrastructure was over ten years old. Due to rapid changes in technology and competition from other law schools, state of the art pedagogy and facilities in 1974 were, by 1988, in need of modification and updating. Bringing the library into the information age and expanding its capacity stood at the head of the agenda. Dean Lawrence Raful Lawrence Raful earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Cal- ifornia at San Diego in 1972 and his law degree at the University of Denver College of Law in 1975.

  • The Centennial History of Creighton University School of Law, 1904-2004
    CHAPTER 1 Founders and Benefactors- The Deanship of Timothy J. Mahoney: 1 903-1 91 0 Omaha is an attractive city for student residence; the climate is favorable to intellectual exertion all the year round. 1906 -7 Creighton Univ ersity Announcement I think that among the opportunities of the flegal] profession, that which will afford the most genuine satisfaction, is the work of the calling. To be confronted with a difficult problem, with a situation where you are con- vinced that substantial and natural justice is on the side of your client, a sit- uation in which you are unable to call to mind any rule laid down in the books, or any decision of any court that exactþ fits your predicament ... Dean T. J. Mahoney American enterprise, immigration, industrialization, urbanization, egali- tarian access to education, and the rise of certification in the professions com- bined with the Catholic and Jesuit mission to spiritually and economically up- lift its flock. America was an open society where the separation of church and state encouraged the church to take on educational endeavors. The founding of Creighton University and its professional schools, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centur¡ was symptomatic of a national experience that sought to channel and match American brain power to a burgeoning, apparently lim- itless, array of opportunities. Father Michael P. Dowling and Count John A. Creighton comprised a formidable educational partnership whereby the latter provided the wherewithal for the former to rcalize his plans for educational de- velopment in Omaha. Paul L. Martin, the spokesperson for the law school from 1906 to 1920, captured this perceived sense of expansion and viewed the es- 13 14 1 , FOUNDERS AND BENEFACTORS tablishment of formal legal education in law schools as a logical development following the growth of population and the consequent increase of litigation.l Prologue Although the law school dates its existence from 1904, the idea for a ]esuit sponsored law school in Omaha dates from 1892.

  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.

  • Charting a Path for Federal Judiciary Reform
    Revisiting and Confronting the Federal Judiciary Capacity “Crisis”: Charting a Path for Federal Judiciary Reform Peter S. Menell* and Ryan Vacca** The modern federal judiciary was established well over a century ago by the Judiciary Act of 1891. Over the next seventy years, the structure and core functioning of the judiciary largely remained unchanged apart from gradual increases in judicial slots. By the mid- 1960s, jurists, scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers had voiced grave concerns about the capacity of the federal system to function effectively in the face of ever-increasing caseloads. Heeding calls for reform, in 1972 Congress charged a commission chaired by Senator Roman Hruska to study the functioning of the federal courts and recommend reforms. After extensive study, the Hruska Commission concluded that “[n]o part of the federal judicial system has borne the brunt of . increased demands [to protect individual rights and basic liberties and resolve difficult issues affecting the financial structure and commercial life of the nation] more than the courts of appeals.”1 The Commission called attention to the Supreme Court’s capacity constraints and the risks to the body of national law posed by the growing number of circuit conflicts.

The Great Prairie burns in the blood-red luster of sunset, which with full intensity, illuminates this unique theatre of nature. Here the wildness of arid desert blends with the smoother view of full green land mixed with raw, sandy stretches and scattered islands of trees tormented by the hot rays of the summer sun and lashed by the blizzards of severe winters. This country is open to the view. Surrounded by a level or slightly undulated plateau, it is a hopelessly infinite panorama of flatness on which are etched shining paths of streams framed by bushes and trees until finally the sight merges with a far away haze suggestive of the ramparts of mountain ranges. The most unforgettable moment on the prairie is the sunset. The rich variety of colors, thoughts and feelings creates memories of daybreak and nightfall on the prairie which will live forever in the mind.

  • NEBRASKA STOPS Grand Island Grand Island Is Located on the Eastern End of Nebraska 3, Represented by Retiring Congresswoman Virg
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu NEBRASKA STOPS Grand Island Grand Island is located on the Eastern end of Nebraska 3, represented by retiring Congresswoman Virginia Smith. The Third District covers three-quarters of the State, and runs from the corn belt in the East to the wheat and ranching highlands in the West. There are sixty-two counties and alot of pasture. The most Republican district in Nebraska, the Third gave more than 70% of its vote to Ronald Reagan in 1980, and 67% to Bush in 1988. Exon carried only 25 of the district's counties in 1984. Grand Island is the only city in the Third District with more than 30,000 people. Grand Island's major industries include farm implements and meatpacking. A small group of Southeast Asians in the city work at the Montfort meatpacking facility. The Oregon and Mormon trails run through Scottsvluff, which has the only sizable Hispanic population in western Nebraska, a legacy of the migrant labor used to harvest sugar beets over a period of several decades. There are three heavily Democrat counties north of Grand Island: Sherman, Greeley and Howard. Lincoln The State Capital, Lincoln gives the First District an urban flavor, but does not dominate the District as Omaha does in the Nebraska 2. Lancaster County and its suburbs casts just under 40% of the vote. A white-collar town, Lincoln is dominated by state government and the University of Nebraska with its 23,000 students. There's virtually an even number of Democrats to Republicans and Bush won Lancaster County over Dukakis by only 345 votes.
