College elcomes Supreme CourtJustice IHarry Blackmun

Only a week after the November

presidential election, Supreme Court

Justice Harry Blackmun was at Hastings

assuring an audience of faculty,

students, federal and state judges, and

members of the local Bar not to worry

too much if the Court changes direction

with the election of a new president.

Justice Blackmun, the 1988 Mathew

0. Tobriner Memorial Lecturer ad-

dressed the issue of "Trends and

Countertrends" in the nation's Supreme

Court at the November 16th lecture. He

stressed that the Court, over the last 200

years, had made innumerable changes

of direction, but that the Court has

continued to move as best it could

rhe Justice, who had just celebrated

his 80th birthday, spent two days at

Hastings meeting with faculty, students

and local judges. Students enrolled in

Constitutional Law were given the rare

opportunity of having an open question

and answer period with a very candid

Justice Blackmun preceding his keynote

address. The students were able to

explore pertinent issues including the

consequences of a new conservative

majority on the Supreme Court and the

status of Roe v. Wade, a decision

Blackmun authored in 1973.The Mathew 0. Tobriner Memorial

Lecture, established at Hastings in 1983,has brought an array of legal scholars

and jurists to the College over the past

six years including Dean Barbara

Aronstein Black, Mr. Anthony Lewis,

Supreme Court Justice William Brennan,

Justice Laurence H. Tribe and Justice J.Skelly Wright. It is through the generos-

ity of the family and friends of JusticeTobriner that this important lectureship

continues at Hastings. Justice Blackmun meets with Hastings ConstitutionalLaw students

Th~eRogqer,[f. Traynor Summer Researcb

P-ro-)fessorship

Through the generosity of the family of

Justice Roger J. Traynor, Hastings has

established a summer research profes-

sorship, scheduled to commence in

Summer 1990, for the exploration of

timely legal issues. The supporting fund

pro)vides for a stipend, travel expenses,

housing, research assistance and

databank rcference services. A primary

objective will be to help bring to

fruition the work of scholars already

engaged in constructive studies.

Justice Roger J. Traynor, who

received his Ph.D. and J.D. from

University of Califomia-Berkeley, set an

example of such work as a youngprofessor at Boalt Hall. His early studies

in taxation led to major reforms in

California. In that period his pioneer

course in taxation also enlisted the

interest of students in that then novel

subject.

His judicial service on the Supreme

Court of California spanned thirty years,

from 1940 to 1970, during the last six of

which he served as Chief Justice. There-

after he resumed his teaching career for

another productive decade, with a

constant base at Hastings as a member

of the Sixty-Five Club. His many

teaching assignments and lectures

farther afield included extensive

residence at the University of Virginia

year's residence in England as the

visiting Sir Arthur Goodhart Professor ofJurisprudence at Cambridge University.

During that decade he also served as

chairman of the American Bar Associa

tion Committee on the Code of Judicial

Ethics. His own integrity was of a piece

with his outstanding work as teacher

and jurist. When the ABA awarded him

its Medal in 1967 "for conspicuous

service to the cause of American

jurisprudence," it cited him as "one of

the great judges in United States

history," an accolade that has been

repeatedly echoed in legal journals and

elsewhere.

and the University of Utah, as wel as a Given Justice Traynor's significant

influence in a variety of fields, and the

multitude of commentaries by others

that his work has engendered, it is

particularly appropriate for Hastings to

sponsor a summer professorship in the

Traynor tradition.

As Hastings Dean Tom Read

comments, "The Roger J. Traynor

Summer Research Professorship on

Timely Legal Issues is the first of its

kind at Hastings, and is clear evidence

that the College is moving towards its

rightful place as a major legal center oi

the West Coast. The College and the

legal community in general owe a great

deal to the Traynor family for this

marvelous program."

Senator Biden Visits Campus

Focusing on foreign policy issuessimply because "Neil Kinnock hasn't,"Delaware Senator Joseph R. Bidenbegan his remarks to Hastings studentsand faculty by alluding to the contro-versy surrounding his departure fromthe 1988 Presidential race.

Senator Biden, presently Chairman ofthe Judiciary Committee and 2ndhighest ranking Democrat on theForeign Relation Committee, waselected to the Senate at the age of 30,only four years after graduating fromlaw school. "It was hard to believe thatI was writing the same laws I neverunderstood in law school," musedBiden.

The Senator commented primarily on

foreign policy issues focusing on thebalance of power between the SovietUnion and the United States, theemergence of Premier Gorbachev,President Bush's arrival in Washington,and Biden's strong support for harsheconomic sanctions against SouthAfrica. He ended his remarks with anopen question and answer period forstudents.

Biden's lecture, and the lunchpreceding, were made possible throughthe generosity of San Francisco devel-oper and democrat supporter Mr. WalterShorenstein. Visits of this kind areintegral to enhancing the quality of thelegal education at Hastings. Senator Joseph Biden answers questions from Hastings students.

On March 4 the College celebrated it's

111th birthday this year with a day of

activity beginning in the morning with

seminars by Hastings faculty on current

issues and ending in the evening with a

wine auction and dinner featuringcelebrity auctioneer Betty White.

The day also included the officialinvestiture of Dean Read as Hastings

14th dean and the awarding of the

premier S.C. Hastings Medals ofAchievement to individuals who have

played an integral role in the formation

and establishment of the College. Recip-ients of the medals were College-foun-

der S.C. Hastings, Hastings Dean David

E. Snodgrass, member of the Sixty-FiveClub Rollin Perkins, and Hastings

graduate and friend A. Frank Bray.Founder's Day offered a unique

opportunity for Hastings graduates fromas far back as the class of 1926 to meetgraduates from the Class of 1991. Pro-fessors Hutton, Maier, Martinez andSchwarz spoke on tax strategies for the90's while Professors Sundby, VanKessel, Forrester, Schwartz and Sullivanspoke on the changing face of the Cali-fornia Supreme Court and the U.S.Supreme Court.

All proceeds from Founder's Daywent to the Founder's Day Fund forFaculty Support, which providesfunding for scholarly research, publica-tion and continuing education of theHastings faculty.

Perry Mason tried 245 cases and lostone, which he won on appeal. Henever represented a guilty client orsuborned perjury, he didn't chaseambulances or dog mass disasters likesorne ghoul with a business card. Hemade the district attorney look dumberthan a box of rocks, and people -normal non-lawyer people - liked him.

Perry was the high-water mark in thetelevised image of lawyers. Thetelevision lawyer these days is MichaelKuzak, the moral mutant who, in arecent "L.A. Law" episode, tried toextort a favorable ruling by threateningto expose the judge as a homosexual.

An estimated 40 million viewerscaught that paragon of pettifoggery onFebruary 23, according to the Nielsenovernight ratings.

Which brings us to today's question;How does the televised image shapethe public's perception of lawyers,already at a historical low?

Charles Rosenberg, technical legaladvisor for "L.A. Law," offers a diplo-matic answer.

"I think the public's image of lawyershas been made more nuanced by ashow like 'L.A. Law,' Rosenberg said inan interview. "Whether it's better orworse is a rather difficult question toanswer."

Rosenberg, a partner in the LosAngeles firm of Rosenberg and Chittum,and three other attorneys attempted toanswer that question on March 4,during a 90-minute panel discussionheld at Hastings.

The occasion was Founder's Day,Hastings' 111th birthday and the officialinstallation of Frank T. Tom Read asDean. (Read observed in his acceptancespeech, "The power of a lawyer is at anall-time high; the prestige...is at an all-time low.")

Joining Rosenberg on the panel were

John Osborn, author of several books,including the Paper Chase and TheAssociates, which were made intomovies and/or TV programs, novelist

John Martel, of Farella, Braun & Martel;and Hastings alumna Lia Matera, authorof four mysteries about lawyers(including two set in a fictional scandal-ridden law school located near San

Francisco's Civic Center). FormerSupreme Court Justice Joseph Grodin

A Long Way Perry

moderated."Have any of you thought about

writing about an appellate court?"Grodin asked the panelists, firing offone of the afternoon's funnier lines.

Lawyers have been a staple offictional drama going back at least toShakespearean times, and as thepanelists' own product demonstrates,some of the unkindest cuts of all havecome from within the legal citadel.

For example, as Grodin pointed out,the lawyers in Martel's book Partnerscommit horrendous crimes, includingmurdering their own clients.

"You've just given away the plot,"Martel cried, adding on a more seriousnote, "My characters are entirelyfictional. I hope no great harm has beendone to the already scarred image ofour profession."

The panelists agreed on one thing:the way lawy ers are portrayed in filmsand on television is changing.

"There's a demystification processgoing on," Osborn suggested. "We'reseeing lawyers in a different light."

According to the consensus, that's agood thing.

"The writers of television and moviesthese days think audiences are sort ofbored with non-flawed heroes and arelooking for people wx ho are moreemotionally realistic," he said. "PerryMason never really had to struggle withhis conscience because all of his clientswere not guilty, whereas the characterson 'L.A. Law' have to struggle with alot of ethical difficulties. It portrayslawyers in a more realistic light."

But how realistic is the portrayal ofthe legal profession itself? As the

panelists acknowledged, law writersthrough the years have subjugatedtechnical accuracy to plot development.

Mason's courtroom victories, for

example, inevitably caiie about whciihis masterful cross-examination eliciteda surprise witness-stand confession.

'I've never seen anyone confess onthe witness stand myself," Rosenbergsaid.

But on "L.A.Law," as Rosenberghimself concedes, characters often do

things that would not be proper or

permitted in real life, such as having exparte contacts with the judge or with anopposing counsel's client.

"Do people who write about lawyershave an obligation to be accurate andrealistic?' Grodin asked the fourpanelists.

"I do feel some responsibility as alawyer, albeit a non-practicing lawyer,to keep my details realistic," Materasaid. "But it is all right to take dramaticlicense in order to make a broaderpoint."

"I try very hard to be 100 percentaccurate in my books in the portrayal ofhow the system works when you're incourt," Martel said, adding that in oneof his works, "I actually used scenesalmost verbatim from the record ofcases that I've tried."

Literary license may be taken incharacterization, however, he said.

"I draw a distinction between thingsthat the lay person clearly perceives asfiction and things about which the layperson knows little," he said. "A lot ofpeople don't have contact with thesystem until they get called as a juror."

"L.A. Law' is about 90 percentaccurate," Rosenberg said. "In terms ofthe technical details, I think 'L.A. Law'for a television show, is pretty good. Wehave occasional lapses, but not verymany."

When the dramatics of a scenerequire a divergence from the ethicalnorm, Rosenberg said he tries topersuade the show's writers to let theaudience know that what's being doneisn't quite kosher.

"A lot of professors use 'L.A. Law' inteaching ethics," he said, 'because a lotof the situations are rather carefullybalanced. The other comment I'd makeis that you can talk about the systembeing accurately portrayed as ittheoretically exists, but the reality maybe somewhat different. Lawyers tell me

they do have ex parte contact."Osborn said he strove to ensure that

the legal details in his books wxereaccurate. But, he added, critics whodemand accuracy from television are

expecting too much."It cannot be done," he said.

"Television is a different medium. When

you're shooting 70 pages of dialogue inseven working days and the scripts are

being completed maybe a day before

you shoot, reality just goes out thewindow. It's the first thing that disap-

Detective Drake seeks the help of everyone's friend Perry Mason.

pears."Just how harmful is it when the

media fudge on their facts for the sakeof a gaudier story line?

Martel said there are documentedcases where jurors have acquitted acriminal defendant despite hardevidence of guilt because of a media-fostered misperception of the judicialsy stem.

But Rosenberg credited audienceswith the ability to distinguish fact from

fiction."My feeling is that most people in

the United States are able to watch atelevision show or read a novel or go toa play and understand that it's a drama,"he said.

Among the College's noteworthy ac-comrplishments over the last two yearshas been the revitalization and expan-sion of its scholarship program; last yearalone, Hastings students received over aquarter of a million dollars in privatelygenerated scholarships. While themajority of scholarships at the Collegehave historically been need, and need/merit-based, Dean Read has imple-mented a new scholarship for in-coming students based solely on merit,the Serranus C. Hastings Fellowship.The Fellowship is designed to encour-age the very best applicants to accepttheir offer of admission to Hastings andto come to the College to continue thetradition of high-quality legal education.

Receipt of the Fellowship entitles anin-coming student to a $5,000 stipendplus tuition and fees for three years ofstudy; the Fellowships are awardedprior to enrollment to top applicants on

the basis of merit as determined byundergraduate G.P.A., L.S.A.T. score andpersonal interviews. This March, aselection committee representingfaculty, alumni, and students inter-viewed six Fellowship candidates fromaround the nation. Of the six studentsinterviewed the Committee selected twoas Fellows.

The College has established theSerranus Clinton Hastings Fellowship asa tribute to the dedication to the law

and the people of California that wasthe hallmark of the life of Collegefounder S.C. Hastings.

On Valentine's Day, eight second-year

Hastings students enjoyed an opportu-

nity few attorneys ever experience: they

argued their cases before justices of the

California Supreme Court. Justices

Marcus Kaufman and David Eagleson

heard oral arguments in this year's

David A. Snodgrass Moot Court

Competition. The justices were two of

about 80 judges and attorneys who

volunteer their time to the moot court

program each year, serving as judges in

the Snodgrass competition or coaching

the students who represent Hastings in

several intercollegiate competitions.One of the reasons these attorneys

enjoy serving is that Hastings students

argue real cases, some of the most

interestirg and important cases pendingin the United States and California

Supreme Courts. Among the cases

heard this year were Richmond v.

Croson, an important affirmative action

case recently decided by the U.S.

Supreme Court, and Massachusetts v.

Oakes, a case challenging the constitu-

tionality of a child pornography law.

One of the most controversial cases was

Riese v. St. Mar's Hospital,. which

challenges the right of involuntarily

committed mental patients to refuse

drug therapy. Three attorneys from the

Oakland firm of Crosby, Heafey, Roach

& May, which represents St. Mary's

in the real case, sat as judges for oral

arguments.Melissa Johnson, now completing her

second year as Director of the Moot

court Program, believes that the

knowledge and practical experience

provided by these volunteers is one of

the greatest strengths of the program.

Over Moot Court

Ms.Johnson came to Hastings after three

years representing defendants in capital

appeals, and still handles a small

number of cases in the California

Supreme Court. "I am constantlysurprised by the tremendous support

we get from alumni and others. Many

give their time enthusiastically year after

year. There is no substitute for the real-

world perspective they bring to the

students."Ms. Johnson particularly appreciates the

contribution volunteer attorneys maketo Hastings' success in intercollegiate

moot court competitions. Before

competing, each team goes throughseveral intensive practice sessions,

during which attorneys sit as judges and

offer their criticisms and suggestions.Many are former competitors them-

selves.

The College has done particularly wellin competition this year Hastings teams

took first and second place for oralsand first place for brief in the regional

rounds of the Frederick Douglass MootCourt Competition. Hastings also placed

first in the region in the Giles Suther-

land Rich Patent Law Moot CourtCompetition, won the award for bestappellant's bnef in the Pace UniversityEnvironmental Law competition, andtook prizes for third best memorials andthird best oralist in the region in theJessup International competition. Ms.Johnson expects to expand Hastings'participation in the intercollegiatecompetitions next year and, with the

help of the College's many loyalsupporters to take even more prizes.

Winning first place for best brief and second place for orals this years team wowed the FrederickDouglas Competition. Members are (L to R) Sharon Chatman, Ricky Green, and Phyllis Bursh (Notpictured is Kelly Dearman).
