CARDINAL Special JCaw £Dedication tissue VARSITY-ALUMNI GAME, DEC. 1. INSPECT NEW BUILDING 6-10 P. M. Z-247 Official Student Publication of the University of Louisville Vol. 8 Louisville. Ky., Wednesday, November 29, 1939 No. 12 Notables Dedicate New Law Building Today Judge J. J. Parker Named Principle Dedication Speaker Presaging anew era in the his-tory of the University of Louis-ville, on Wednesday afternoon next, the new School of Law building is to be dedicated with fitting ceremonies proclaiming the event scheduled for the Allen Memorial Court room. The Honorable John J. Parker, presi-ding judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the fourth circuit will be the principal speaker. Formal Dedication takes place at 2:30 P. M., attendance by in-vitation due to limited seating capacity of the court room. The public is invited, however, to in-spect the building from 6 until 10 P. M., during that evening. Constructed to accomodate ap-proximately 150 students, the law building is a two story structure in Colonial style with four im-posing white columns setting off the entrance. Most handsome of its many rooms are the Attilla Cox Memorial Library and the Allen Memorial court room, both furnished in a commodious, mod-ern manner. Orignal oil paint-ings of famed American jurists decorate the oak panels of the court room, adding warmth and beauty to an already pretentious room. The library, containing 18,500 volumes, has a main reading room and a reserve reading room. Alcoves on either side of the main reading room each provide comfort and quiet for six stu-dents. Armchairs and indirect lighting on the reading tables add to the beauty and comfort. Individual offices for the pro-fessors, a student lounge, offices for the Legal Aid Society and the student Briefing Service which serves attorneys in the entire state are other provisions in the building. A depository known as the Allen Memorial Court Room The court room of ihe new law building, dedicated to the memory of Judge Charles James Fox Allen, seats 240 persons, is hand-somely finished and decorated with paintings of pro-minent jurists. Among law schools it is the show place of the south. Moot Court Furnishes Law Students Practical Experience “May it please the court, ladies and gentleman of the jury'’—with a bit of a catch in his voice and a turbulous senation in the pit of his stomach, the future attorney invokes the attention of the Honorable Judge and Jury of the University of Louisville Moot Court. Founded By Loll In September of 1936, firmly believing that while a man may know all the law in the books, he is not a lawyer until he can prac-tice it, Dean Lott sought a means of enabling the students to gain practical experience while in school. He realized that to force the young lawyer to gain ex-perience by experimenting with his client’s case was a costly pro-cedure, both to the client and at-torney, resulting in miscarriage of justice or at least expensive delay. Thus, with the aid of the Judges of the Jefferson County Circuit Court, who agreed to give their time to preside over the cases and render advice, the Moot Court was conceived. Mr. Edward S. Hungerland, member of the Legal Department of the Southern Trust Cos., was appointed Super-visor of the Moot Court, in which capacity he is still connected with the school. Advance Students Conduct The trials are conducted by the advanced students, two attorneys to each side, with the other stu-dents serving as court officials, witnesses, and jurymen. The cases are selected from those pre-viously tried before the Circuit Courts of Jefferson County and the attorneys are bound by the facts revealed in the real case; however, their pleadings, trial, and arguments are their own. At the end of the year the faculty selects the four most capable bar-risters and nominates them for the final moot court case, the two winners of which have their names inscribed on a permanent silver cup. First Court 1937 On Memorial Day afternoon of 1937, the first of the final moot court trials was held in the Crimi-nal Court Room before an eminent body of justices. On the bench were Judge James Stites of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, Circuit Judge Churchill Humphreys, and Court of Ap-peals Judges Richard P. Dietzman, David McCandless, and Earnest Clarke. For three boiling hours H. Appleton Fed era and William C. Turner for the plantiff argued against Woodruff Flowers and Malcolm Johnson for the defen-dant. After twenty minutes de-liberation the court decided that Law Students Donate Service To Public Law students of the University of Louisville School of Law now obtain the much needed practical experience of working out an actual Case with a real client. Such training is presented in the Law School Branch of the Legal Aid Society, established this year on the campus, under the direc-tion of Eugene Field, general counsel of the Louisville main office. In addition to affording opportunities for learning the pro-per “approach” to the client in trouble, the Legal Aid branch stimulates study and preparation of cases to be presented in the regular courts. Also the branch serves as a more convenient office for clients south of Hill Street, thus reliev-ing the pressure on the main of-fice, 312 Realty Building, 522 W. Jefferson. Mr. Field reports that the downtown office disposed of over 11,300 cases during 1938, which placed Louisville third be-hind New York and Chicago in the total number of cases handled. Three seniors, Lucian L. John-son, Charles Zirkle, and L. Swin-ford Rogers, who are licensed at-torneys have charge of the cam-pus branch. Office hours are from 9 A. M. to 12 noon on Saturdays, and from 2 P. M. to 5 P. M. on Mondays. However, any member of the staff is glad to receive clients by appointment at other times. There are nearly one hundred Legal Aid Societies throughout the United States. All of them have as their main purpose the helping of poor people who are financially unable to defend them-selves against the more wealthier credit houses, loan sharks, and unscrupulous persons of all sorts. The causes of the person without money, although just as meritor-ious as any cause, cannot be pro-fitably handled by the ordinary attorney. The time and trouble of a small case results in a fee which generally equals or is more than the recovery. Thus, all over America, legal service is extended to persons who are unable to em-ploy private counsel with the Legal Aid Societies making little or no charge. Such an organiza-tion is of a distinctly social wel-fare value and should be support-ed and encouraged by all who love fairness and justice for all. The Louisville office, in con-tinuous operation since 1922, is a Cummunity Chest agency and is thus sponsored as a semi-public charity. The entire staff stands ready to serve you in the protection of your rights and in the enforce-ment of your due obligations. Dedicated Judge John J. Parker, United States Circuit Court of Appeals, will speak on “Democracy and Constitutional Governmen t.” President Raymond Asa Kent, Chief Exectutive of University of Louisville;Dean Jack N. Lott, Jr., of the School of Law. Judge J. J. Parker Dean Lott Dr. Kent Distinguished Law Alumnus Reminisces And Advises Editor’s Note: The following article written by Judge Henry J. Tilford, recently elect-ed to the Court of Appeals of Kentucky, recalls some of the experiences of a young lawyer in Louisville. Judge Tilford received his law degree from U. of L. in 1901. By Judge Henry J. Tilford. Kentucky Court of Appeals Every young man who conceives the idea that he would like to practice law as a means of livelihood, should read Dickens’ “Bleak House”. If he is to be one of those fortunate enough to choose a profession for which he is fitted and in which he will find some hours of pleasure as compensation for the many hours of drudgery, he will probably be aware of it before he has finished reading this book. At least it seems so to me, as the impressions made by the case of Jamdyce vs. Jarndyce, and the Court and Temple scenes described by the great novelist, critical as he is, have never faded; and I be-lieve that I received the first inkling that I should choose this pro-fession above all others from the reading of this masterpiece which so greatly influenced the reforms that have taken place. Received Degree In 1901 When I received my Bachelor of Laws Degree from the Uni-versity of Louisville in the spring of 1901, I had no idea how I was to utilize my newly acquired and greatly exaggerated knowledge as a full fledged member of the legal profession.
