Experimenting in Legal Education Starts Today

An experiment in legal education will start at the Law School today, when over 30 lawyers from 20 eastern law offices and business firms will make up the faculty of a two-day "School for Young Lawyers" which opens this afternoon in Langdell-land.

Sponsored by the Law School Forum, the School will offer two general lectures and 20 workshop discussions on various phases of the practice of law.

The School, a new departure in legal education, is intended to fill the gaps between academics and practice in the law. It is hoped that talks with men in all branches of the profession will enable many students to make their choice of type of practice while they are still in school, according to Richard A. Holman 3L.

Over 1,000 students from Boston and New England law schools are expected to register for the course which is open to the public.

General lectures will open and close the School's program. Edmund Morgan, Royal Professor of Law, will open the School with a talk on "Legal Ethics" at 4:10 p.m. today in New Lecture Hall.

Leibowitz on Trials

Judge Samuel Leibowitz, of the New York King's County Court, who won national fame as a defense attorney, will wind up the School with a discussion of "Trial Techniques" at 8 p.m. tomorrow in New Lecture Hall.

Seminars will consider large, medium, small, and individual New York law practice; real estate law; trusts and estate planning; corporate law; insurance, labor, and tax law; large and small town practice; the lawyer in business, government, and politics; and trial law.

Seminar sessions run from 8 to 9:15 p.m. today, and from 9:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and from 2 to 4:45 p.m. tomorrow.
