Alternative Families' Legal
Rights Explored
By Gail Dopf and Linda Thomas
Rhonda Rivera, noted Ohio family
law attorney, traced the legal rights of
unmarried heterosexual and
homo·sexual cohabitants and sug­gested
ways to aid these clients at a re­cent
Law Forum lecture.
Ms. Rivera, a professor of law at
Ohio State University in Columbus
who also maintains an active family
law practice, told a packed Allen
Courtroom that unmarried
cohabitants have a one in four
"split" rate averaging the same as the
divorce rate of married couples.
However, unlike married couples,
"alternative families" have never had
a formal legal mechanism to help
them be fair with each other through
the "disconnection" process.
According to Rivera, courts have
historically had a "hands off" at­titude
toward alternative families,
because they were viewed as under­mining
the fundamental American in­stitutions
of marriage and family.
"At first the judiciary refused to
look into the alternative family rela­tionship
for contracts, implied or ex­pressed.
When such contracts were
later recognized the courts often
found reasons not to enforce them.
They felt that unmarried cohabitants
tampered with the essentials of mar­riage,"
she said. For public policy
reasons the rights and duties inherent
in their relationships would not be en­forced.
The parties were prevented
from seeking equitable relief by the
"clean hands doctrine", she explain­ed.
Courts presumed that because they
were voluntarily living together, the
parties intended to give away their
services as "gifts." When all else fail­ed,
the courts reasoned that the un­married
cohabitants must have
known any contractual rights were
unenforceable. ·
Rivera explained that Marvin v.
Marvin was a landmark decision
because the court finally acknowledg­ed
the rights and duties inheren~ in
the alternative family relationship.
"The Marvin decision was not as new
as it seemed," she said. "Similar
decisions had been handed down by
courts in Washington long before
Marvin." The case's notoriety came
about because of the glamorous stars
involved, she explained.
The Marvin court recognized the
inherent contractual relationship bet­ween
unmarried cohabitants. The
court realized that in not intervening
before, it had actually rewarded the
cohabitant who refused to marry in
order to keep his own property to
himself, thereby undermining the in­stitution
of marriage. This often
punished the other cohabitant (usual­ly
a woman) who was sharing her pro­perty.
The Marvin court allowed
severance of that part of the contract
based on meritricious considerations
and enforced the rest. If there is no
express contract the court can imply
from the cohabitance that the parties
impliedly contracted to deal fairly
with· each other. If neither an express
nor an implied contract could be sup­ported
by the facts, the court would
allow the parties to sue in quantum
meruit. The value of homemaking
services was explicitly recognized, as
were constructive and resulting trusts.
Since the Marvin case many state
legislatures have introduced laws to
fomalize the legal relationship bet­ween
unmarried cohabitants.
"With the unusual relationships of
unmarried cohabitants," said Rivera,
"the attorney has the opportunity to
manipulate traditional legal forms in
a postive, rewarding fashion. This re-

freshman Constitutional Law classes during a visit to the School of Law.
quires creativity and 'hutspah' or 'un­mitigated
gall.'"
In meeting the needs of the gay and
straight cohabiting clients she has,
Rivera suggests a four factor legal
plan to give a formal legal structure
and recognition to their relationships:
1. Make a formal will - Since the
biological family of the unmarried
cohabitant is more likely to contest it
than the family of a surviving spouse,
make every effort to comply with the
state statutes to make these wills
unassailable.
2. Get a power of attorney - These
give the loved one control in cases of
accident or medical emergency.
Rivera has these notarized and in
legal language asks hospital personnel
and others to treat the "lover" as
next of kin, in specified medical situa-tions.
Medical institutions don't
usually question these, she said.
3. Draw up a contract - These
should be in businesslike style follow­ing
the Model Partnership Act. One
contract should deal only with
finances and property, which will be
enforceable in court. A second,
separate contract could deal with
such things as household chores, etc.
since enforceability is questionable.
Be sure to add arbitration clauses to
avoid the expense of litigation.
4. Bank accounts should be
primarily separate - This avoids the
chance that one party could empty a
joint account. However, in addition
to separate checking accounts, have a
joint checking account to which each
contributes a stipulated amount per
month.
Proposed Verdict Would Fill Gap in Kentucky Law
By Ed Branham
"I just held on until I couldn't feel
any pulse in her, in where it beats ... I
made sure she was good and dead."
This statement is an excerpt from a
confession given by Dorothy Yanez
following the brutal murder of her
mother in Louisville in 1979. A jury
found Ms. Yanez not guilty by reason
of insanity.
In Indianapolis there was the case
of Anthony Kiritsis who, in 1977, ter­rorized
a mortgage executive with a
sawed-off shotgun as millions watch­ed
on the nightly news. He too was
found innocent because of temporary
insanity.
Prompted by cases such as these,
where the insane go free and the sane
can be sentenced to death,, Represen­tative
Roger C. Noe has prefiled
legislation creating a ''guilty but men-tally
ill" verdict.
When someone commits a crime in
Kentucky there are only two mental
states recognized - sanity and insani­ty.
The "guilty but mentally ill" ver­dict
fills the gap in the present law.
The proposed legislation recognizes
that someone can be mentally ill
without being insane and provides
that the convicted mentally ill defen­dant
would be treated for his illness
until his sentence is completed or un­til
he is cured. If such a person were
cured, he would serve the conti­nuance
of his sentence.
The "guilty but mentally ill" plea
attempts to accommodate competing
societal and individual interests.
Society is assured that a person
responsible for a crime is in custody.
And a disturbed criminal is assured of
treatment.
Under the present system t~e only
way to restrain a defendant who suc­cessfully
meets the difficult task of
obtaining a verdict of "not guilty by
reason of ir:tsanity" is through civil
commitment. However, Kentucky's
guidelines for such involuntary
hospitalization are quite strict.
Forty days before Ms. Yanez
murdered her mother, relatives
sought to have her hospitalized for
treatment. After a 30 minute ex­amination
by a psychiatrist at Univer­sity
Hospital, she was turned free
because she dido 't meet the
guidelines. The result was tragic.
Only the states of Michigan and In­diana
now have a plea of "guilty but
mentally ill.'' The proposal that Ken­tucky
do the same was made by the
state Supreme Court in Gall v. Ken­tucky,
wherein it was stated that
" ... the real problem lies in the very
nature of the defense of insanity. It
may be too much to ask of any set of
men or women (on a jury) to make a .
dispassionate assessment of a
criminal defendant's mental condi­tion
... Some of our sister states have
endeavored to meet the problem by
authorizing a verdict of 'guilty but
mentally ill'... under which the ,
sentence is not affected but the defen­dant
while serving it may be confined
as long as may be necessary in a men­tal
institution. We commend that ap­proach
to our own General·
Assembly.''
This bill offers the defendant and
the jury a sound alternative. When
the 1982 General Assembly convenes,
state legislators will have the oppor­tunity
to follow the lead of our
neighbors to the north in recognizing
a responsibility to the criminally ill
and the citizenry jeopardized by this
, gap between sanity and insanity.

Letter to the Editor
To The Editor:
I have a tendency to read the Ex­aminer
closely. I was struck by two
indirect references in the same article
to what I know to be a not uncom­mon
feeling among many U of L law
students; namely, that the education
is somehow inferior and the students
somehow less qualified than their
peers from other law schools.
The two references appear in a
September 21, 1981 article entitled,
"Summer Clerking Jobs Offer Varied
Experiences." In the article, law stu­dent
Maggie Keane was said to have
found that ''U of L students had
comparable education and were
equally prepared to practice with a
large firm as were the other schools'
students." Well, of course they are.
Is the assertion itself necessary to con­vince
us that we're not second rate?
Similarly, Chuck Mullins was said
to have "complained of some 'in­grained
snobbery' at the fact that he
attended what some felt was a 'se­cond
tier' law school." Nevertheless,
he was "told that his work compared
favorably with that of other (NLRB)
interns." Again, a point that, were it
not for the undercurrent of apprehen­sion
among the student body, would
not even be worth mentioning.
I suppose the reason I am reacting
so strongly to the issue is because I
was nearly paralyzed by the fear that
I couldn't effectively compete in the
"real world" because my legal educa­tion
was inferior. The result was my
·coming_ to California positive I
couldn't pass the notorious Califor­nia
Bar Exam on the first try, (I did,
although 50 percent of the people
who took it with me did not), and
even more certain that the large,
prestigious Beverly Hills law firm
which broke tradition and hired so­meone
from a "no name" law school
would soon discover they had made
an egregious error.
They did not. Although I was con­stantly
in awe of my colleagues who
were graduates of Harvard, Yale,
Stanford and the like, I eventually
had to come to grips with the fact that
I, too, was doing well. Thus, in the
final analysis it didn't matter where
one went to law school as long as one
could do the work. That, of course,
begs the questic;m as to wether U of L
students can indeed do the work. One
only has to look at the success of the
vast majority of U of L graduates to
see that the answer is, of course they
can.
This is not to deny the benefits of a
Harvard or Stanford legal education.
But the fact of the matter is that there
is no need to make subtle excuses for
your legal education or even accept as
debatable the premise that, as a U of
L graduate, you are substantially less
better prepared to be a good lawyer
able to compete head-to-head with
graduates of other law schools. To
believe otherwise is dangerous, self­defeating
and erroneous.

I NIGHT and DAY
By Mark Stanziano
Many of the students, faculty and
administration here feel there are dif­ferences
between those who are refer­red
to as "Day Division" and "Even­ing
Division" students. I will try to
avoid such naive and artificial
classifications as I describe some of
the more universal problems that en­compass
all students here.
Perhaps the most talked-of pro­blem
facing the population of this
school is the shallow nature of the of­fered
curriculum. In both divisions
the apparent lack of concern for up­perclassmen
who've taken the vast
majority of courses offered is strik­ing.
Lack of imagination on the part
of the schedule makers and an in­herent
ability to conflict imaginative
course offerings with much needed
bar courses and/or blocks of time
which could otherwise be set aside for
work are just a couple of the ways in
which this lack of foresight and con­cern
are manifested.
These thoughts should bring up
other questions of great importance
to those who tail with law books,
hom books, reference works, study
aids and Black's Dictionary.
At the top of this list are the
number of courses tested on the bar
exam and the necessity of working
while going to school. As for the
former, I realize this is an old and
probably womdown topic here but I
feel very sincerely that an age of
specialization is upon this profession.
It just happens to hit now rather than
10 years ago as it did in the medical
professions. Granted, a general
understanding in the law, in most
areas, is necessary but is there some
reason why every area of the law must
be tested on the bar exam?
Certainly, this school should push
for a minimization of tested courses.
The list should be narrowed to
general areas of law. Not only would
this reduce the number of courses a
student feels he has to take in order to
adequately prepare for the bar, but,
in so doing, it will allow the students
to select courses in which they have
an avid interest or in which they
choose to specialize. Further, this
gives the schedule makers the oppor­tunity
to offer more and varied
courses.
As for the necessity of working, it
remains a mystery to me why the up­per
echelons in this school are so
violently opposed to a student's hav­ing
a job. Surely one-who clerks, or
works in some other capacity in a
law-related job, brings into his
studies a working practical
knowledge which full-time
bookworms do not have. Is it because
the faculty and administration, and
A.B.A. know that, for the most part,
they are not producing competent ad­vocates
in an atmosphere of West­published
texts and overpriced
notebooks and they just don't want
the students to find out? They cannot
see that they are turning out
graduates who do not have one iota
of knowledge of law to admit
something into evidence, cross­examine
a witness, or prepare a will.
If they cannot see, I forgive them. I
hold no ill will against those who are
blind and bump into me. But if they
wiD not see, then they are to be blam­ed
and held accountable, because,
this is as intentional a wrong as any
every levied upon a group; and just
because the A.B.A. also wants to
keep people in the dark is no good
defense. A rule that is so bad as to be
unconscionable must not only be
changed, it must not be followed.
Finally, and briefly, once we over­come
these problems, we come face­to-
face with perhaps the biggest pro­blem
of all. The job market is beginn­ing
to overflow, especially here. As
an economic result, except for those
at the top of the class who are
scooped up by the big name firms,
pay is generally low. In these troubled
economic times this, then, becomes
the most fiercesome monster we have
to do battle against. The weapons
we'll need to win are a good general
background in the law as well as a
somewhat specialized knowledge in
one area of the law, while holding a
strong practical knowledge in reserve.

Dean Search Underway
By Rich Milster
Looking toward the goal of choos­ing
a new Dean by the fall 1982
semester, the law school's Dean
Search Committee has been sending
out advertisements and an­nouncements
in various legal jour­nals,
magazines and newspapers.
The committee is a large, diverse
group with representatives from the
university, law school faculty, law
students, judiciary, and private prac­tice.
Members from the law school
faculty are: Ronald Eades, chair­man;
Ralph Petrilli, William Dolson,
Les Abramson, Gene Teitelbaurm,
David Leibson, and James Merritt.
Student representatives are Diane
Bogdon and Joram Salig.
Representing the university is Lois
Cronholm, Dean of the College of
Arts and Science. Also on the com­mittee
are Judge William McAnulty
and Attorney Larry Franklin.
Starting early next year the com­mittee
will examine the qualificatioqs
of applicants and nominees. This
must be done in compliance with
university, state, and federal regula­tions
and affirmative action
guidelines.
"The minimal qualification is a law
degree," says Eades, "then the com­mittee
will look at academic
qualifications, advanced degrees,
scholarly research, and experience in
law teaching, law practice, ad­ministration
and the judiciary. Ex­cept
for a law degree, there is not any
absolute criteria. We are looking for
the best and most qualified applicant
overall."
This process is designed to reduce
the number of applicants down to a
manageable number, approximately
three to six people. At this time per­sonal
interviews will be conducted.
Although all names will be kept com­pletely
confidential through the first
round of interviews, after that facul­ty,
staff and students will have an op­portunity
to give input to the commit­tee.
The committee will then formally
recommend the names of two to three
candidates to University President
Swain and the Board of Trustees,
who will make the actual hiring deci­sion.
If the committee feels that none
of the applicants are qualified for the
job, then the whole process will start
over.
Louisville Law Examiner, November 30,1981 3
"Brandeis Brief" Series
This is the third installment of a three-part series on "Juvenile Justice. " The
first two installments examined the prosecutor's role in delinquency pro­ceedings
and the child advocate's role in dependency proceedings, respectively.
Juvenile Justice:
Parents' Perspective in
Ky. Dependency Proceedings
By Ellen G. Friedman
Ellen G. Friedman graduated from the School of Law in 1979. She is a
member of the Kentucky Bar Association and has served on the Louisville Bar
Association's Juvenile Justice Committee. She is currently a staff attorney
with Legal Aid Society,, Inc., representing parents in juvenile court dependen­cy
proceedings.
Juvenile Court Dependency proceedings are considered civil in nature and
are styled "In the interest of the child." Technically, then, the only party is the
child, but, in reality, there are three parties involved: the child, the parent and
the state. Kentucky law provides for the appointment of an attorney for the
child in every case. Under current law, the Judge may appoint counsel for the
parent, and under the new Unified Juvenile Code effective July 1, 1982, an at­torney
shall be provided for parents unable to afford one. The state's interests
are represented by a prosecutor who works closely with a state or county­employed
social worker. Each of these three parties has an interest in the pro­ceedings,
and these interests can and often do conflict.
The state has an interest in protecting its children based upon the parens
patriae doctrine. On the other hand, the parents have the right to raise children
and be free from unjustified state interference into family matters. The child,
through his attorney, has certain rights as well, which can conflict with either
those of his parents or those of the state. Everyone seems to recognize the
parent-child conflict, but not enough attention is given to the protection of the
parent, the child, and the family itself from state encroachment.
The right to family integrity is a fundamental constitutional right. The
United States Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized the parent-child rela­tionship
as a liberty interest deserving special protection under the Fourteenth
Amendment Due Process Clause, as well as the Equal Protection Clause and
the Ninth Amendment.
In competition with this fundamental right to raise children is the parens
patriae function of the state. The state has a legitimate interest, but the only
legitimate goal of the state in exercising its powers must be the promotion of
the child's best interest. There is a traditional and legal presumption that
parents act in their children's best interest. There are also those who strongly
advocate that children themselves should determine what is in their own best
interest, either along or through the appointment of a guardian ad litem. The
real conflict that emerges is determining exactly what is in the child's best in­terest
and who should make this determination.
It is now well-settled that the state does not always act for the benefit of the
child even under the guise of parens patriae. In re Gault 3 87 U.S. 1 ( 1967), was
a delinquency case in which a juvenile was denied various procedural protec­tions.
The state's justification was that the proceedings were civil in nature and
non-adversarial; the state was only acting for the welfare of the child, and
therefore the child did not require the additional protections given to adults.
The Court found that both the child and the parent required procedural pro­tections
from the benevolent hand of the state.
The area of child rearing is a sensitive one. There are as many different view­points
as there are families. Even the experts can't agree, and new theories are
constantly being advocated and adopted as they come into vogue. It is
especially in this area of child rearing that the state's parens patriae powers
must be limited. The state is not prepared nor qualified to raise children and
provide the nurturance and guidance required; nor should the particular child­rearing
views of the judge, prosecutor, social worker or child advocate be im­posed
upon the family.
Because of the numbers of cases processed each day through the court, there
is simply not enough time for these outsiders to accurately assess the child's
needs. Particularly in the dispositional stage, much reliance is placed upon the
report and recommendations of the social worker and other professionals.
Some workers do not even hold a degree in social work, but rather have college
degrees in fields completely unrelated. In addition, the workers are often over­worked
to the point that even a conscientious and otherwise qualified worker
may have had only minimal interaction with the family. There exists a real
danger of judicial over-reliance on professionals in making what should re­main
legal determinations.
The great majority of parents brought before Juvenile Court are poor. They
are frightened and may be uneducated and inarticulate. On the other hand, the
system, comprised of a prosecutor, social worker, child advocate and judge, is
predominantly middle-class. This cultural discrepancy creates numerous pro­blems,
particularly with communication. Generally, where factual disputes
arise between the social worker and the parent, the overwhelming tendency is
to believe the more articulate worker. It is nearly impossible for the system to
avoid applying its own middle-class standards in evaluating what the child's
welfare requires. The t:Ple of Juvenile Court is not to redistribute the popula­tion
as would occur if all children were moved to a "better" environment. The
Juvenile Court should only interfere with the family to prevent actual and
_demonstrated harm, and then only in the least intrusive manner possible.
This conflict in cultural mores does not usually create problems in extreme
cases, but most cases are not so clear cut. The problems occur where varying
modes of child rearing reflecting individual values conflict. For example, at
what point does the use of physical discipline become physical abuse? At what
point does the use of home remedies becoem medical neglect? At what point
does a child left with a paid or unpaid babysitter become abandoned? When
does a messy home become a threat to the child's health and safety? At what
point should emotionally, mentally or physically handicapped parents be
denied the right to care for their children? How much independence should a
young child be allowed before a parent is accused of subjecting the child to risk
of injury?
These are but a few of the difficult problems the court must answer. The
danger of imposing class-based moral judgments is enormous, particularly
because there is little legal guidance. Neglect statutes are intentionally written
broadly to encompass an endless variety of facts and circumstances. For in­stance,
the statutory definition of a dependent child is one "who is under im­proper
care, control or guardianship ... " Nowhere is the term "improper"
defined. The neglect and abuse definitions are little better. Statutes in other
states have been attacked as being unconstitutionally vague or overly broad,
but generally they have been upheld. Inevitably, the Judge decides if the set of
facts presented constitutes improper care, neglect or abuse. Without specific
legal guidelines, that determination, even among the fairest of judges, must
necessarily be influenced by his own upbringing and class values which are not
shared by other segments of the population. Because of the vague and broad
nature of neglect statutes and the implicit dangers described, the statutes must
always be interpreted in light of Constitutional protections. ·-
On~ thing is clear from the foregoing discu~sion, procedural due process is
essential to protect both the parent and the child. The United States Supreme
Court has developed a three-pronged analysis to evaluate how much process is
due under the Fourteenth Amendment. Briefly, they are the private interests at
stake, the government's interest, and the risk that the procedures used will
cause erroneous deprivation. In Stanley v. Illinois 405 U.S. 64S (1972), the
U.S. Supreme Court examined the interests of the parent and the state in
dependency court. The .cour! found the P!i!ent's interest in the care, custody
and management of hts chdd a substantial one, while the state's interest
minimal if the parent is fit. In that case the court struck down a statute on
equal protection grounds which automatically made children of unwed fathers
wards of the state upon the death of the mother. The court found that "all
parents are constitutionally entitled to a hearing on their fitness before th~k
children are removed from their custody."
One of. the m~st disturbing a_reas of juve_nile court procedure is the practice
of remov10g c~ldren from tbe1r homes pnor to a full hearing on the merits.
State law provtdes for emergency removal only where the child "is being harm­ed
or thre.ate~ed wtth harm to such a degree that his best interests requires ... "
A determmation of harm or threatened harm can be made on the basis of an
~ffid~vit or sw?~n testimony. Even mor~ troublesome is that the initial allega­tlO~
s 10 the petition can be made upon ''mformation and belief.'' Consequent­ly,
)Udges order the removal of children merely on the basis of an affidavit of
behef. T~e P?te~tial ~or abuse should be obvi~us. Children are placed in foster
care ?r mstitutionahzed so~ely on ~he basts of uncorroborated hearsay,
somettmes based upon undisclosed 10formants - testimony which often ·
would not be allowed at the full hearing. This creates an anomalous situation
where . it becomes. ~asier . to ref!love .a child than to prove the petition.
Sometimes the petitioner 1s well-10tentioned, but other times is vindictive or
simply misinformed.
Certainly there are times when the court must act swiftly to protect a child
bU:t the emergen.cy rem.oval statute ~oes not provide for a mandatory hearing
pnor to or even tmf!ledtately_follow!ng th~ removal, and in fact, the temporary
custody order rema10s effective untd modtfied by the court or until the cause is
heard ~n its merits, <?ften several months later. The constitutionality of this
statute 1s currently be10g challenged. Thus, a child can be taken from home or
school by a sheriff, placed ~n a strange environment and a parent might not
know for da~s w~ere.the. child has been taken. These summary, Gestapo-like
removals, pnmardy 10fl1cted on the powerless poor, should frighten even
middle-class families not ordinarily involved.
The situation is further complicated when the parent is not represented by
couns~l. The parent who has a child taken by emergency order is unable to get
back mto the system and move the court to return the child until his court
assigned date arrives. It would appear that due process requires that parents
unable to afford an attorney have one appointed and, in fact, most states have
enact.ed such a law, but a. recent !J.S,. Supreme Court case held that the right to
appo10tment of counsel 10 term10ation of parental rights cases must be deter­mined
on a case by case basis. The facts in that case were extreme and certain­ly
this issue should be pursued by appeal for any case adjudicated' without pro­viding
needy parents with counsel.
Co~trary to the Constitutional glJarantees briefly discussed, in reality the
Juvemle Court tends to operate on the theory that all allegations are presumed
true and that if pretrial removal later proves erroneous, the child can be
returned wi~h no real ha.rm done. This phi~osophy is both legally and factually
unsound. F1rst, the behef that no fiarm 1s done by preventative removal is
clearly erroneous. The parent "suffers from the deprivation of his children
and the children suffer from uncertainty and dislocation." Experts have found
that even minimal state intrusion into family life can do irreparable harm to a
child's development.
Second, even if temp?rary interference or removal were not pennanently
harmful, the law must stdl be followed. The United States Supreme Court has
never "embraced the general proposition that a wrong may be done if it can be
undone." Decisions in dependency cases are difficult and following Constitu­tional
guidelines not easy, but for justice to be done, the courts must attempt
to balance the interests of all the parties, parents included and where
necessary, restrain the pervasive arm of the state. '

UMW A Leader Stresses
Labor History
By Robert Drane
There are lessons to be learned
from the history of coal mining in
America, according to Robert "Bob"
Benedict, Manager of the Depart­ment
of Contract Administration for
the Untied Mine Workers of
America, in Washington, D.C. One
lesson is clear: collective bargaining is
essential to American industry.
Benedict spoke to a group of law
students, faculty and other persons
interested in labor relations in the
Allen Courtroom on Tuesday night,
November 10. The topic of the even­ing
was "Why America Needs
Unions." Benedict's speech was the
second of a series sponsored by the
Labor Relations Forum, a new law
school organization.
Benedict's perspective on the topic
was gained from his experience as a
coal miner who worked seventeen
years for River King Surface Mine,
Peabody Coal Company, Freeberg,
Dlinois, his present position of
Manager since November 1975 and
his service on the UMW A Arbitration
Review Board. In his view, labor and
management depend upon each
other, and they always have. Yet their
legal relationship as it exists today
under collective bargaining
agreements and federal law is a fairly
recent development in the history of
our nation.
Benedict cited three examples of
the deteriorating relationship between
the "haves and have-nots" during the
period prior to the enactment of the
national Labor Relations Act. One
was the "Ludlow Massacre" in 1914
where strikers and their families were
evicted from their homes in a town
where the homes and stores were
owned by the company. The com­pany
called in strike breakers who
slaughtered union members and their
families who lay sleeping in tents pro­vided
them by the union. He spoke of
open warfare between six thousand
union men and two thousand strike
breakers in the coal fields in West
Virginia in 1920. The union sur­rendered
when the military was called
in. In 1922 there was the " Herron
Massacre" in southern Illinois where
union men and sympathetic town folk
cornered strike breakers at a mining
site. This time the strike breakers
were slaughtered. Benedict vividly
described each of these three dismal
examples of man's inhumanity to
man, all of which call to mind the
violence of class struggle portrayed in
Zola's Germinal which had a French
coal mining town as its setting.
While some violence still exists in
the coal industry today, the terrible
massacres described by Benedict are
history and have been supplanted by
the collective bargaining process
which is working because of people
such as Benedict. In summary,
Benedict would have students who
plan to practice labor law take a hard
look at history before they make per­sonal
value judgments about collec­tive
bargaining and unions as
American institutions.
Students Evaluate Faculty
By Ruth Ann Cox
Student evaluations of the law
school faculty were conducted the
week of November 16-20 under the
direction of John Webb, Day Vice­President
of the Student Bar Associa­tion.
In a recent interview, Webb said
that Dean Lay asked the S.B.A. to
take charge of the evaluations which
had not been used since Fall semester,
1979.
Forms were distributed at the end
of classes by students, many of whom
are S.B.A. representatives. Webb
said not all students in charge of
faculty evaluations were S.B.A.
representatives because he wanted to
involve as many people as possible in
the project.
The evaluation form itself was the
same one used in 1979, with seven
basic headings and forty-three total
questions. Topics for students to con­sider
ranged from "Professor's
Knowledge of Materials" to "Pro­fessor's
Personal Receptiveness to
Students." Furthermore, the form
asked for particular information on
each student filling out an evaluation,
such as G.P.A. and level of prepara-tion
in the course. Results will be
compiled by the Health Sciences
Center's computer system.
Results of the evaluations will be
used as a consideration in determin­ing
faculty merit increases, tenure
evaluations, and will also be available
to students for reference in deciding
what classes to take. Professors are
also encouraged to use the results in
evaluation their own effectiveness.
Webb indicated that the first use of
the results will be for tenure reviews
of three professors scheduled for ear­ly
1982.
Webb hopes to see the faculty
evaluation surveys become a routine
practice at the Law School since they
hold value for both students and pro­fessors.
He attributes part of the
reinstitution of the surveys to tJ of
L's new president, Dr. Donald Swain,
who has encouraged student input at
the University. There will be three
copies of the evaluation results. One
will be retained by the administra­tion,
another will be distributed
among the faculty, and the third will
eventually go on file in the Law
Library for student reference.
