Law & The Great Society:
LEGAL AID OR JUDICARE?
By
Charles Chaney
The Office of Ecorromic Opportun­it)
Legal ·ervice Program has won
indorsement of the American Bar As­sociation.
The Louisville Bar Associa­tion
has reque ted a grant from the
O.E.O. to upport a judicare experi­ment
here in the city. The enate has
been asked to appropriate 0\'er fifty­million
dollar for legal aid to the in­digent.
In a country where one-fifth
of the population is cia ilied as pov­erty
triken, and unable to obtain legal
counsel, the need of legal assistance is
evident.
There have been two major ap­proaches
to solving this need. One has
been the legal aid societies. Their
approach has been to establish neigh­borhood
law offices and hire full-time
counsel to staff them. Because of their
location, the legal aid societies are
able to not only supply counsel to
those in need, but can inform those
who never have had an opportunity to
deal with an attorney about their
legal rights. The attorney who spec­ializes
in this field becomes familiar
with the needs of the poor and be­comes
more adapt in handling those
types of cases.
Last year the Legal Aid Clinic in
Louisville, had 5,500 persons ask for
help. Of these, approximately one­fifth
were assisted in legal matters.
The guidelines for determining eligi­bility
vary somewhat. However, these
two considerations are foremost: ( 1)
Whether there is a chance that a con­tingent
fee could be arranged so that
the case could be handled privately;
and ( 2) the indigent person must
make less than fifty dollars per week.
The Society does not handle criminal
case . Defenses are in civil matters,
mostly in controversies in magistrate
courts, in addition to some probate
and guardianship matters.
The second approach, which now is
on a trial basis, is Judicare. Its opera­tion
is similar to the English System
which has been in use in that country
for several years. Under the plan an
eligible client must apply for and re­ceive
a "Judicare card." He then can
present the card to the lawyer of his
choice and obtain the needed legal
services. In tl1e Wisconsin Judicare
experiment the attorney may be paid
up to eighty per cent of the recom­mended
minimum bar fee or $300.00,
whichever is less. The most a lawyer
may receive during a twelve-month
period is three-thousand dollars.
Under Judicare the individual would
be able to select an attorney in the
same manner as a paying client. The
program would be more economical in
smaller communities and rural areas
where a full-time legal aid staff could
not be used efficiently.
Both programs are not without crit­icism.
Legal aid centers tend to be-
MOOT COURT FINALISTS WIN
REGIONAL; NEW YORK NEXT
On November 17, 1966 the University of Louisville School of
Law sent a three man team to Lincoln Nebraska to compete again­st
eleven other schools in the Regional Finals of the National Moot
Court Competition. For the second time in the history of the school
the team emerged victorious, and will now travel to New York in
mid December to compete in the ational Finals against twenty
one other schools.
Student Bar Assn.
Plan Activities
As another school year gets under
way, the executive committee of ilie
SBA has started making plans to pro­vide
you wiili co-curricular activities
to supplement the legal education
you are receiving in the class rooms.
The school year started off with
the SBA sponsoring orientation week
for new students. New students
were enlightened during iliis week as
to the student organizations of ilie
law school, how to brief cases, and
what outside information was avail­able
to law students with recommen­dations
as to ilie information students
s h o u 1 d use in succeeding in law
school. Orientation week was capped
off wiili a play ilie "Caine Mutiny
Court Martial." All of the members of
the cast were fellow students.
The convocation committee has al­ready
started work on ilie speakers
program for the coming semester. Two
of these programs have already .been
presented. The first one consisted of
speeches from the candidates for Con­gress
from ilie Third Congressional
District of Kentucky and ilie second
program was a speech by the Presi­dent
of ilie American Bar Association,
Orison S. Marden. More programs are

come isolated parts of ilie profession
and tend to remove themselves from
the mainstream of ilie law. Judicare
is attacked on ilie grounds iliat since
most law offices are located in areas
away from ilie poor, legal services are
inaccessible because the poor have
been found to be highly immobile.
Attorneys in private practice are gen­erally
not experienced in the technical
areas of the law wherein the poor
must frequently encounter difficulty.
Of tl1e two systems, ilie neighbor­hood
law office seems to be the bet­ter
choice. It is more easily adapted
to the use of professional investigators,
social workers, and rehabilitation ex­perts
iliat assure maximum efficiency
in use of ilie lawyer's ·time.
This year marked the Seventeenth
Anniversary of the National Moot
Court Competition, and the inaugur­ation
of a new school policy of giving
scholarships to the three local winners.
The problem that was argued dealt
with whether a state statute that es­tablished
a warrant procedure for the
installation of electronic listening de­vices
was constitutional. In the case
the mythical state of Erewhon passed
a statute that authorized state officers
to install electronic evesdropping
equipment if there was probable cause
to believe that a crime had been com­mitted.
Pursuant to this statute, the
police obtained a warrant, entered the
office of a bribery suspect, and plant­ed
a recording device. At the trial the
recorded conversations were intro­duced
into evidence over the objec­tion
of the defendant, and he was
convicted. On appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, the Appellant
claims that his First, Fourth, Fifth,
and Fourteenth Amendment rights
under the Constitution were violated.
The judges for the final round of
the local competition were Judge
Paul Keith, Robert Metrey, and
Robert Hastings. Mr. Heavrin, who
represented the University of Louis­ville
in last year's regional tournament,
and Mr. Aprile won in the final round.
Mr. Lloyd, who was the champion in
1964 finished third and was ilie team
alternate.
In the National Competition tlle
Law School drew a bye in the first
round. In ilie second round, iliey met
a tough University of Ceighton team,
and lost ilie oral argument on a split
decision. However ilieir brief score
was higher ·tllan Creighton's which
gave iliem more total points, and ad­vanced
them into ilie semi-final round
against the University of Kansas. In
this round the Law School faced an
up hill battle because Kansas had
produced a slightly better brief. How­ever
the team won ilie oral argument
by enough points to off set ilie brief
score, and advanced to ilie final round
against St. Louis University. In tllis
argument ilie team not only won the
brief score, but rolled over St. Louis
in ilie oral argument and won the Re­gional
Finals by more ilian twenty
points. In ilie last round, Aprile was
awarded ilie trophy for outstanding
oral argument.

THE NEED IS NOW
In this column last year the question was asked whether the
University of Louisville Law School was overcrowded. A year later
and with approximately seventy-five more law students enrolled
the answer is definitely in the affirmative.
There is currently a desperate need for new facilities. A good
illustration of this need is the present Junior and Freshman classes.
Both classes are over one hundred and because of this number the
regular classroom~ are not large enough to accommodate the stu­dents.
Thus, many of their classes are held in the Allen Courtroom,
a beautiful law school courtroom but not suitable at all for a class­room.
t one point last year there were only two classrooms for
three classes.
Until very recently the faculty had to share offices and only by
converting a classroom into office space was this problem alleviated.
There is no official student lounge unless you can call two couches
and a table with four chairs in the middle of two classrooms a
lounge.
Then there is the library. The library is composed of three
rooms including the librarian's office. With classes of one hundred
or more in the Junior and Freshman classes and with fifty in the
Senior class there sometimes is difficulty finding a place to sit.
And an time you try to fi!ld a reporter, you must ask someone to
roo e their chair up to allow you to slide b and find your book.
Another frustrating aspect of the 193 Law School Building is
the lack of room for student organization. The Family Law Journal
is the only present organization that has an office of its own and it
i not large enough to have meetings in. The staff members of The
Louisville La\ er meet in whatever clas room is available. Be­cau
e of thi cramped atmo phere there has been no way for the
tudent Bar Association, The Louisville Lawyer and the fraternities
to keep an accurate record of past affairs.
There is growth all over the University of Louisville campus,
particularly in the medical and dental schools. Yet there has not
been a change in the structure of the Law School since 1938.
Granted, a new wing has been planned but it has been so for years.
The Board of Trustees must be aware of the predicament the Law
School is in. We are bulging at the seams.
Schroer et al. v. S. B. A.
On September 16, 1966 one, Dave Schroer, under threat of
being denied a vote in the Student Bar Association, paid to the
treasurer of this organization his $3.00 dues. Schroer, a freshman
law student, then began pleasantly asking various upperclassmen
what the S.B.A. did. The answers he received ranged from the
gentle shrug of a seasoned senior, to the ripping cynicism of an
out-raged junior, to the careful denial and avoidance of a prominent
officer. ow, after extensive research on the topic, Schroer brings
a constitutional case before the Student Bar Court.
The plaintiff Schroer will probably establish 'standing to sue"
by declaring that he is a representative of the student body as a
whole, who has suffered a real monetary injury by being taxed by
a dormant organization. In addition, Schroer is expected to demand
that further relief is due him from the severe loss of reputation that
he has suffered from being represented by such an organization
as the S.B.A.
Schroer will probably attempt to prove that the S.B.A. has not

The Dean's Corner
by James R. Merritt
In 1784, Judge Tapping Reeve, a Connecticut lawyer, founded
the first law school in the United States. In some ways this Leitch­field
School was the first attempt at the systematic teaching of law
anywhere in the common law world. Previously lawyers were
largely self-taught or came to the profession from the ranks of
articled clerks. Although the clerk of a busy practitioner knew in­timately
the workings of the law office from the first visit of client
to the final billing and although the clerk often knew his way
around the court house his theoretical knowledge was often sketchy
and sometimes shockingly incomplete.
From the beginning, the superiority of the systematic training
of the Leitchfield school was apparent in actual competition at the
bar. Out of some 900 men who eventually graduated from the
school, 28 became United States senators, 101 members of Congress,
34 State Supreme Court Justices, 14 Governors of States, 10 Lieu­tenant
Governors, 3 Vice Presidents of the United States, 3 United
States Supreme Court Justices and 6 members of the cabinet. It
was not long until law schools were established within the major
universities. Although training by clerkship and self-study lingered
on for many years they have now ceased to be avenues through
which students may enter the legal profession.
Almost everyone recognizes some virtue to legal education
within a community of university scholars but there is a persistent
and somewhat unsettling notion that somehow the emerging law
student lacks "practicality" and upon emerging from the sheltered
confines of the law choolis JlQt qualified .lor immediat practice.
There is much truth in this statement but the difficult question
is when and how this "practicality" should be acquired. Although
I believe that the practical aspects of a lawyers education are
readily acquired after formal training, the question must be faced
how the transition from law school to law practice can best be
accomplished. New Jersey experimented with a compulsory clerk­ship
program which proved unworkable. Other states have tried
similar ventures. Many schools have "practice" courses. Indeed our
own experimental Saturday seminars give great promise of estab­lishing
a beneficial dialogue between student and practitioner. A
summer internship may give a useful glimpse into practice.
Perhaps there is no single way of transition which is demon­strably
superior to all others. Are there some ways of acquiring
practicality which are clearly pernicious? It would seem wrong to
regress completely to the old clerkship system and even a partial
retreat is not without danger. One thing which seems clear from

LOUISVILLE ATTORNEYS VIEW
Painter vs Bannister
The Iowa Supreme Court in its decision February 6, 1966 gave
cu tody of an eight year-old boy to his maternal grandparents
agajnst the wishes of the boy's father. On November 14, 1966, the
upreme Court of the Urnted States refused to review the decision.
~1r. Ralph H. Logan and Mr. James A. Hubbs, members of
the Louisville Bar, discuss the pro and the con of the Iowa Court's
decision.
PRO
belie,·e the Court was right.
\ hen this child came to the Bannister
home, he was disoriented and ill-dis­ciplined.
But the love of a dependable,
stable and well-educated home in a
mid-we t community, afforded mark­ed
improvement and fmther provided
a solid foundation for opportunity, se­curity
and moral development. His
grandfather became the "father-fig­ure"
a child so desperately needs.
The romantic Painter home offered
boundless freedom of conduct and
thought, and would be more exciting
and challenging, lacking in depend­ability
and stability.
The agno tic father had roamed the
country as a writer of sorts, from one
job to another, offering dreamy alibis
for his obvious mediocrity. His in­satiable
des ire to be an individualst
cannot be categorcally criticized; how­ever,
the Court found that this Bo­hemian
character ( California vintage)
was just a little too "far-out." For in­stance:
Before his wife's funeral, he
moved the casket to the basement and
conducted a service with noboby else
present. Later, he attended the custo­mary
funeral in a sports shirt and
weater.
For a seven-year-old child, the
Court found that stability and secur­ity
are far more important than in­tellectual
stimulation.
The two environments are obviously
poles apart. To uproot this child from
a table and dependable atmosphere
and transplant him to an uncertain and
artificially strange surroundings would
jeopardize his delicate personality for
a lifetime.
Whatever the rights of the natmal
fatl1er may be, the child has a far
greater right not to be moved around
as a pawn in a chess game and sub­jected
to the whim ical change of
either party to his everlasting detri­ment.
And our Courts should protect
that right.

Solomon made a judicial determina­tion
of custody without the benefit of
a psychiatrist and established what
mav be considered the natural law of
child possession.
Apparently, even the State of Iowa
recognizes the presumption of parental
preference by statute. Its highest
Court has now established the doc­trine
of the "father figure" and ilie
"biological father."
The Court adopted what is an ac­cepted
principle on the question that
the "primary consideration is the best
interest of the child."
The Court has substituted for the
established, traditional and proven
Finciple of law the metaphysical
opinion of a psychologist, a recognized
uncertain field of medicine.
The Court by its own statement
placed a "great deal of reliance on
the testimony" of a child psychologist.
Whether or not the child psychologist
is the same person described by the
Court as tl1e psychiatrist who exam­ined
ll'!r. Painter, is not shown; how­ever,
the reasoning given causes it to
appear iliat they must be two different
people. The statement attributd to the
psychiatrist in describing P a i n t e r
stated "the philosophies of life are
entirely different," and in speaking of
the difference in the ways of life be­tween
Painter and Bannister, he said,
"There is no evidence that psychiatric
instability is involved. Rather, these
divergent life patterns seem to repre­sent
alternative normal adaptions."
The Court said, "There is no sugges­tion
in the record that Mr. Painter is
morally unfit."
The Court points out the Bannisters
are 60 years old, and that the child
is seven years old, and seems to
overlook an often quoted principle
that the ways of a child are generally
fixed by the time it is five years old,
and that older parents for younger
children make for a poor family.
The child psychologist states that
his field is less concerned about na­tural
parents than any other profes­sional
group.
The Court criticises Painter for
placing his interest and purpose in
life above monetary consideration for
jobs. The Court likewise criticizes on
THREE
the ground that he is an agnostic or
atheist, and has no concern for formal
religious training. The Court is critical
of the two funerals which Painter had
for his wife; one in the basement of
his home where he alone was present,
and the other in a church for public
services. He who weeps alone is not
to be condemned. Many people are
critical of public funerals. Who can
say which shows the greatest love and
respect for the deceased? Even the
Court conceded that they related facts
of Painter's life not as a criticism of
his conduct or way of life and sense
of values; the Court acknowledged,
"An individual is free to choose his
own values, within bounds, which are
not exceeded here."
The Court has set a dangerous
precedent which could well permit
the child psychologist to remove many
of th e children in .this nation from the
home of its natural parents to others
of devoted grandparents.
The award of a child to his grand­parents,
because the father does not
act in all respects the way a Court
thinks he should, is a dangerous prece­dent.
No attempt is made to cite the
many decisions that favor a natural
parent in the ways of custody.

Two new professors have joined the faculty of the University
of Loui ille School of Law this semester: Richard M. Cummings
and Herbert I. Lazerow. Although his chief specialty is inter­national
law, 1r. Cummings is presently conducting classes in
Constitutional Law and Jurisprudence while 1r. Lazerow is teach­in

advantage of Louisville's proximity to
do field work in Harlan County and
in the Cumberlands. Following is a
short biographical sketch of each of
the ne~ faculty member :
Richard M. Cumming -Born in

L.L.B. in 1962 from Columbia, where
he was a Kent cholar and on the

Pennsylvania, Mr. Lazerow was a­warded
his A.B. in history there in
1960, his L.L.B. from Harvard Law
chool in 1963, and his L.L.M. from

next year. He has worked for the In­ternal
Revenue Service in the area of
legislative drafting and negotiating in­come
tax treatie_s with foreign coun­tries
and has been admitted to prac­tice
before the District of Columbia
and Kentucky bars.
JOURNAL STAFF INCREASES
MEMBERSHIP AND EDITIONS
Prior to June 1, 1966 memb\mhip
on the staff of the ]oumal of Family
Law required a minimal quality point
average of 2.00. As of June 1, a new
policy of publication was instituted
by the Journal : the number of pub­lications
is to be doubled from two
to four per year, additional student
notes are to presented, and there is to
be a dramatic expansion of the cur­rent
events section. In order to meet
the increased research requirements it
has been necessary to provide a larger
staff membership, As of June 1, 1966
classes have been ranked according
to quality point average and beginning
at the top of the list and progressing
downward invitations have been iss­ued
offering membership on t be
journal staff. Under the new policy
of organization more individual pro­duction
is required of members and
is determinative of the members ten­antcy
on the staff.
In Re Schroer
(Continued from Page 2)
fulfilled its constitutional duty "to advance the aims and purposes
of the Law School." He is expected to question whether the S.B.A.
can possibly be carrying out its constitutional functions under its
present organization. He may point out that the S.B.A. has not had
one general meeting this year, that most of the committees of the
organization have not even met once this year, and that many of
the elected officers of the S.B.A. are at a loss to remember what
committee they represent. In short, Schroer is expected to ask the
court to determine if the 52 elected and appointed officers of the
Student Bar, the 21 member Executive Committee, and the eight
"Action" Committees and three Appointive Committees do any­thing
substantial to fulfill their constitutional duty to "advance the
aims and purposes of the Law School." If the Court finds that
the S.B.A. has not fulfilled its basic constitutional duties, he will
ask the Court to rescind his dues to the organization, and to de­clare
the present S.B.A. unconstitutional by its own Constitution.
It can be anticipated that the plaintiff Schroer will suggest
that the very nature of the elective process in tl1e Student Bar de­feats
the stated purpose of the organization to be representative of
the student body. Presently, nominations for the S.B.A. offices
come from the fraternities. The fraternities then bloc vote with
the majority fraternity taking nearly all offices.
The main problem in the case may arise from a simple service
of summons. To whom would one deliver it? And where?
The Dean's Corner
(Continued from Page 2)
the increasing and staggering complication of the law is that the
theoretical training of the student mu t not be diluted. A law stu­dent
is anxious to try out his newly acquired knowledge on some
practical problem and this desire is normal and natural but if the
necessity of acquiring a theoretical background is properly under­stood
the law student will act as a student, learn the things which
a student must learn and pass over the temptation to gain a super­ficial
professional gloss at the expense of the only time in his life he
can devote himself to mastering the basic arts of his profession. He
will have the rest of his life to perfect this polish but only a very
brief time, comparatively speaking, to master the basic theory of
his profession.
Ideally the law student would confine his employment to
summer work in law related jobs. If he must work during the
regular session he should seek to limit his employment to law
related jobs and to bear in mind constantly, that his practical work
is a mere adjunct of his theoretical training. If the emphasis is
the other way around the student is in danger of seriously impair­ing
the basic arts of his life-long profession.
It is often pointed out that some outstanding students of form­er
years have been employed on lengtl1y schedules. This is true
but in almost every instance, the student sacrificed the opportun­ity
of doing really distinguished work for the convenience of the
moment. When law firms inquire about law graduates with a view
of their employment the questions are in terms of law school
achievements and potential and not in terms of outside employ­ment.
