Law Students Find General MacArthur Guilty for Korea

First year law students turned the Korean battlefields into a law case yesterday. W. Barton Leach, Story Professor of Law, asked his Property 1 students to apply legal reasoning to a case history of U.S. actions in 1948 and 1949 in determining the causes of the Korean War.

"We took a case," Leach said, "which is being tried before the American people today." The verdict, by class vote: General MacArthur, by gross miscalculation in withdrawing American troops in 1949, was responsible for the war.
