Six Years of a Deanship: A Tribute

Tribute to Fredric Tausend

FREDRIC C. TAUSENDSIX YEARS OF A DEANSHIP: A TRIBUTE

Eugene A. Wright*

INTRODUCTION

Just as law teachers and commentators provide the publicand the profession with periodic reviews of court decisions, sotoo we judges and lawyers are free with our comments on legaleducation. It is time that there be a critique of the University ofPuget Sound School of Law, the Norton Clapp Law Center, andthe dean who has occupied the front office for more than sixyears.

Fredric C. Tausend came to the Tacoma school for a dean-ship of three years, but he overstayed. He had to. The universitypresident, the board of trustees, the law faculty, and the stu-dents insisted that he do so. Besides that, he had some unfin-ished tasks that required more time. Most of those tasks havebeen accomplished or are well underway. Another few yearsmust pass for a final appraisal of Tausend's deanship, but aninterim report is indicated. He and the school deserve it.

Those who evaluate judicial performance consider howjudges measure up in wisdom, knowledge, decisiveness, courtesy,educability, courage, integrity, and good work habits. Plainly,such qualities apply in measuring persons other than judges.Certainly they apply to teachers and administrators, and a deanis both. And there are additional parameters applicable to themeasurement of deans, for they are special people. This critiquewill take account of the qualities and accomplishments believedto be the most significant to the university and to law teachersand lawyers (present and prospective), and to at least one judge,in the measurement of Dean Tausend and his works.

A SOLID BACKGROUND

Fred Tausend grew up near New York City. He was gradu-ated from Harvard University and Harvard Law School. Whileearning a distinguished educational record, he also was active incommunity affairs, theater, and lyric writing. Under his nom deplume, "Sam Weller," he is the author of the lyrics to about tenpublished songs and a greater number of songs as yet unpub-lished. If you need a lyricist, get Sam Weller. He is good.

During law school he belonged to the Harvard VoluntaryDefenders, which provided legal services to indigent criminaldefendants. He and a fellow law student wrote a brief to theMassachusetts Supreme Judicial Court urging adoption of anovel court rule permitting third-year law students to representindigent criminal defendants in court without the requirementthat a supervising attorney be present.

Fred's rule was adopted in 1958. It has served as the modelfor similar rules in other jurisdictions, including Rule 9 in thisstate and Rule 27 of the Ninth Circuit.

In 1958, he joined the Seattle firm to which he is returningfull-time at the end of July 1986, now Schweppe, Krug &Tausend, P.S. In the mid-1960's, he served for two years as aWashington State Assistant Attorney General in the Division ofAntitrust and Consumer Protection. He returned to theSchweppe firm in 1965, made partner one year later, and servedas managing partner from 1969 to 1979.

His practice has been concentrated on commercial litigation.He specializes in antitrust. In addition, he handles litigation inthe fields of Uniform Commercial Code, securities, real estate,libel, products liability, and public contracting.

He is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers andof the American Bar Foundation, a member of the American BarAssociation Antitrust and Litigation Sections, and past chair-man of the Washington State Bar Association Antitrust Section.

On the personal side, he is warm, friendly and approacha-ble, a favorite of students and faculty. He is deeply interested inhelping others, the mark of a great lawyer and educator. This isnot to say that he is all sweetness and light, for he has hisacerbic side too. As was said of another great educator, MatthewArnold, in paraphrase of St. Paul, he does not suffer fools gladly.Like the hero of Harry Leon Wilson's "Ruggles of Red Gap," he"can be pushed just so fur." In the main, though, he is a kindand generous person.

Professor Richard Settle, who has been on the University ofPuget Sound School of Law faculty since the school opened,describes Fred Tausend as a person with uncommon, boundlessenergy. He is extremely productive because he directs thatenergy comprehensively to objectives that the school shouldmeet.

Tausend is no pipe-smoking, swivel-chair dean who dreamsand reflects, hoping for an increased budget, larger faculty, per-quisites, and a multitude of loyal, wealthy alumni. He dreamsand reflects, to be sure; any person of imagination does that. Buthe recognizes the challenges he faces and strides forth vigorouslyto meet them.

VISION AND INSPIRATIONFred Tausend is an innovator. When I assumed the chair-

manship of the law school's Board of Visitors, he was managingpartner of his law firm. But I knew he was also an adjunct pro-fessor, so I asked for his overview of the law school and his rec-ommendations for the future.

He responded at length in a letter which dealt with everyaspect of the law school: its history, the curriculum, its relation-ship with the university and the community, the role of adjunctfaculty, and some innovations which had not yet been explored.

Fred was not then a candidate for the deanship, and neitherof us was thinking that there might be a vacancy and that hemight fill it. His vision was prophetic. He recommended (1) thatthe evening program be retained and improved; (2) that admis-sion standards remain flexible and innovative; (3) that exper-ienced, enthusiastic practicing lawyers be recruited as adjunctfaculty members; (4) that the school develop a national reputa-tion for a contribution to the law by concentrating on a fewareas for the development of special faculty expertise and schol-arship; (5) that the law school draw on the resources of the uni-versity and give credit for courses taken on the upper campus;and (6) that the school continue its orientation toward trainingthe future practicing lawyer.

He closed his letter with this message from a Chinese for-tune cookie he had read the previous evening: "You stand at animportant crossroads. Do not hesitate. Choose correctly, moveahead and the future is yours." He observed that the cookiebelonged to the law school.

Dean Tausend's close relationship with students is due to

1986]


many things, one of which is his ability to inspire. As he wel-comed students arriving or returning to the school in August1981, he wrote:

Through teaching of high quality and through an efficient,imaginative and open administration, we shall strive to offerthe best legal education that can be found. In return, the lawschool's success and your own require that you make an equalcommitment of energy, time, and talent to the school. Thatmeans faithful class attendance, thorough preparation, partici-pation in at least some law school and law school-related activ-ities, respect for your personal health and well-being, keepingyour sense of humor (or getting one quickly), and refining yoursense of ethical and social values.

Associate Dean David Boerner reports that students reactfavorably to Dean Tausend. They sense his commitment tothem, to the provision of a high quality of instruction, to goodmanagement of the law school, and to the importance of place-ment. Dean Boerner feels it is truly remarkable that under theleadership of one leader-type dean, with the force of his person-ality, the school has achieved a national reputation in just a fewyears.

On the national scene, some have asked "Are there toomany lawyers?" Dean Tausend responded to that question inthe Washington State Bar News. He spoke of expanding oppor-tunities for new lawyers but asserted that lawyers must be imag-inative, innovative, and sensitive to what society wants andexpects of them.

Dean Tausend inspires faculty in their service to the schooland recognizes faculty commitment. In February 1982, he estab-lished a tradition of presenting at the annual meeting of theBoard of Visitors a Dean's Award to faculty members for out-standing service to the law school. Those presentations became aregular feature of succeeding meetings. His personal letters toeach recipient recite at length the contributions each has madeto teaching excellence, scholarship, and service to the law schooland university. Those remarks mean even more than the gifts ofselected books, carefully chosen by Dean Tausend, to add to thelibraries of his professors.

His leadership of the administration has been equally as sig-nificant. Fred systematically has upgraded the quality of thestaff serving students, and has challenged each member of theadministration to develop new, more effective means of meeting

[Vol. 9:441


student needs. In the Financial Aid office, for example, theamount of work-study money available to students through theState of Washington has increased from $115,000 to $487,392during his tenure. The Registrar's Office now provides courseschedules for two full years so students can plan their course-work over time more effectively. The Admissions Office has metenrollment targets each year of his deanship, in the face ofdeclining applicant pools nationwide.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Dean Tausend's dedication and respect for broadening thehorizons of the law school community are evident in the distin-guished visitors that he has attracted to the school. While thededication of the Norton Clapp Law Center took place fourmonths before he arrived as dean, he was instrumental in mak-ing some of the arrangements and in scheduling Chief JusticeWarren E. Burger as special guest and principal speaker. Thelate Senator Henry M. Jackson, a close friend of the Chief Jus-tice and a member of the Board of Visitors from the opening ofthe school until his death, helped Fred to induce the Chief Jus-tice to come to Tacoma for the dedication.

In the magazine Case and Comment for July-August 1980,Chief Justice Burger is quoted as saying, "The modern lawschool is failing in its basic duty to provide society with people-oriented and problem-oriented counselors and advocates to meetthese broad social needs." At the dedication, the Chief Justicesaid: "This has been a remarkable experiment in legal education.There is no school in the nation that can do what you are doinghere, as you draw together the three branches of the legal pro-fession- teaching, practice, and judgment."

The university describes its Law Center as follows:

What distinguishes a law center from a law school is this:A law center combines the resources of a comprehensive legalstudies program with on-site opportunities for practical experi-ence and public service. Housed with the law school at thecenter are the Consumer and Antitrust Division of the Wash-ington State Attorney General, the Board of IndustrialAppeals, the Center for Child Abuse Prevention Service, Divi-sion II of the Washington State Court of Appeals, the PierceCounty Office of Assigned Counsel, the Federal PublicDefender, Groshong Court Reporters, Washington Women'sEmployment Education, a number of law firms, and other law

1986]


related enterprises.

The Law Center is two blocks from state and federal courtsand within walking distance of key government agencies, thecounty bar association, and major Pierce County law firms. Inthis state it is unique, and it has few counterparts elsewhere.

In January 1982, Dean Tausend initiated the Honors Ban-quet at which scholarship awards were presented by the Univer-sity President to outstanding students. The guest speaker wasCircuit Judge Alfred T. Goodwin, who spoke on "Checks, Bal-ances, and the Jurisdiction of the Federal Courts."

The school offers a summer CLE Institute which hasattracted leading teachers and innovative thinkers in the fieldsof antitrust, family law, and dispute resolution. They comebecause Fred Tausend invites them.

Dean Tausend has brought other important persons to thelaw school. One was United Nations Ambassador Jeane J. Kirk-patrick, who addressed a capacity audience in February 1983, tocelebrate the school's tenth anniversary. Another was Ninth Cir-cuit Judge Joseph T. Sneed, who addressed the Board of Visi-tors, faculty, and students in February 1982. Sneed, a former lawteacher and dean, gave high marks to the law school for itsunusual success in its first ten years.

In March 1983, a panel of the United States Court ofAppeals for the Ninth Circuit convened in the Law Center in thecourtroom of the Washington Court of Appeals. It was the firsttime that the federal appeals court had ever sat in Tacoma.Dean Tausend and his staff strongly supported the effort tobring live cases to law students. They employed closed-circuittelevision from courtroom to classroom to accommodate stu-dents and faculty members interested in hearing the arguments.The Ninth Circuit has since held court sessions at the LawCenter on several occasions.

Dean Tausend's interest in antitrust law caused him tobring two distinguished academicians, Professor Phillip Areedafrom Harvard Law School and Dean Ernest Gellhorn from CaseWestern Reserve Law School, to the school for seminars.

REVISION OF THE CURRICULUM

Dean Tausend will be remembered for his major contribu-tion to the creation of an excellent legal writing program. Soonafter he moved into the law school front office, he sought fund-

[Vol. 9:441

1986] Tribute to Fredric Tausend 449

ing for an expanded legal writing program. First, he obtained agrant of $25,000 from the Cheney Foundation. To that he added$15,000 from the school's general revenues. Thus began hisintensive writing program.

The University of Puget Sound publication in September1984 reported that "the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Sec-ondary Education made an award of $78,000 for further develop-ment of the UPS Law School's legal writing program." The Uni-versity of Puget Sound is one of only 100 schools out of the2,300 which applied to receive a cash award.

That article also told of a conference at the law school thatattracted representatives from fifty-two law schools. The subjectwas "teaching legal writing," a two-day event supported by agrant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The law school's Board of Visitors had recommended at itsfirst meeting in 1973 that students should be given more train-ing in oral and written expression. At the annual meeting tenyears later, we reported that Dean Tausend had just obtained afinancial grant to develop an even stronger writing program. Hehad hired more instructors and had obtained the help of a pro-fessor of English from the upper campus.

The writing requirement was changed from one year to two.In the first year, students learn traditional and computerizedresearch, basic writing skills, and how to prepare client lettersand objective memoranda. In their second year, students take acourse in persuasive writing and oral advocacy, following a casefrom initial client interview through the final appeal. This newprogram has been described as "the strongest writing program ofany law school in the West."

Dean Tausend also created a legal writing program for atwo-week presentation to representatives from law firms of thePuget Sound area. The program was over-subscribed and wasrepeated again the following year.

He has made other changes to the curriculum, too. Alert tothe needs of a changing profession, Dean Tausend has recog-nized that law school teaching must reconsider the curriculum,teaching methods, and overall program if students are to beequipped to practice in the profession as it has developed in thepast quarter century. He believes strongly that law studentsmust be educated broadly in liberal arts, history, and greatliterature.

Judges and practitioners applaud the new requirement that


law students take at least one course in the historical, philosoph-ical, and theoretical foundations of the law. All are taught byregular members of the faculty. The Dean is practical and, beingso, he remembers the fundamentals.

Under the Dean's leadership, the ambitious comprehensiveTrial Advocacy course was developed by Associate ProfessorMarilyn Berger, Adjunct Professor John Mitchell, and ClinicalProfessor Jenifer Schramm. It is a year-long course providingcomprehensive theoretical and practical treatment of both pre-trial case preparation and trial. The first semester of the year-long course, pretrial, surveys the same subjects as the one semes-ter pretrial advocacy course.

The second semester of the course concentrates on the trialphase of a civil case. Subject matter includes professional ethicsand responsibility, jury selection, opening statement, direct andcross-examination, jury instructions, closing argument, and trialand post-trial motions. Students in the year-long course prepareand perform a pretrial motion and a mock jury trial. Mock jurytrial preparation includes all phases of trial preparation. Themock trial is performed by students at the end of the year.

I see Fred Tausend's influence in the law school's latest bul-letin which shows other new courses. They include law of thesea, mediation, corporation legal accounting, and seminars incriminal procedure and evidence. The profession applauds all ofthem.

We must not overlook the growth and modernization of theschool's library under his direction. He built it up, then negoti-ated for access by members of the bar. By fall 1986, the Univer-sity of Puget Sound School of Law library will be the secondlargest in the Northwest.

PLACEMENT OF GRADUATES

Dean Tausend has put special emphasis on placement ofgraduates in judicial clerkships and law firms. In his first annualreport to the faculty in September 1981, he said:

I believe that a new law school, in its own self-interest, hasa special obligation to assist its graduates as they begin theirprofessional careers. A carefully thought out placement pro-gram is one of the most effective ways for a school to assure itsown continued health and growth.

Placement should mean much more than merely helpinggraduates get jobs or being able to state accurately that over

[Vol. 9:441


90% of our graduates who have passed the bar are employed inthe legal profession. One important objective . . . should be toencourage our graduates to obtain employment in metropolitanareas distant from the Norton Clapp Law Center.

Another important aspect of a placement program isthrough judicial clerkships immediately following graduation.Working closely with a number of appellate judges and severalstudents, I have this year begun to coordinate the program ofjudicial clerkships so that the law school can play a role inassisting interested judges in finding the right clerk and viceversa.

By clerking for distinguished judges, our graduates canserve the law school in many ways, including the objective ofestablishing out reputation through the region and the country.As our increased emphasis in writing skills begins to showresults, we can hope that judicial clerkships will be an effectiveway of spreading the word that the University of Puget Soundgraduates lawyers who write well.

His attention to placement has met with spectacular suc-cess, particularly in the area of judicial clerkships. The schoolhas placed law clerks with a justice of the Supreme Court of theUnited States, United States circuit and district judges, andappellate and trial judges in state courts.

A credit to prior administrations, the classes of 1974through 1980 had 38 graduates in judicial clerkship positions.Under Dean Tausend's leadership, however, the classes of 1981through 1985 had 95 graduates in judicial clerkships. A recordhigh ten percent of the members of the May 1985 graduatingclass were given such appointments. Judicial externship place-ment, where students earn school credit for a semester of studyin a judge's chambers, is on the rise, too.

In law firms, UPS graduates are gaining respect and areascending rapidly to positions of hiring authority. I told thetrustees of the University that Dean Tausend suggested that wehold a luncheon for hiring partners of ten Seattle law firms,offices which had not previously hired UPS law graduates. It wasdone, and thereafter several of those firms hired their first UPSgraduates while others have been in regular contact with theplacement office.

Overall, the number of law firms, agencies, and businessesinterviewing students at the law school for summer associateand permanent positions has increased some 50% during Fred'sdeanship.

LEADERSHIP OF FACULTY AND STAFFDean Tausend has recruited outstanding faculty members

during his tenure. He has a social conscience. He wants to bringnew persons into the profession.

He has given great leadership to the diverse group of lawprofessors. While there are inevitable philosophical differencesamong the faculty, its members are unanimous in followingTausend's leadership. They recognize it as superior and as notdoing violence to their philosophies but complementing them.

Some faculty candidates say they can't do everything thatDean Tausend demands. He refuses to believe that. He insiststhat new teachers combine teaching with scholarship and heuses his great enthusiasm to convince newcomers that they cando it.

He has done more to encourage faculty scholarship than anyprevious dean. He has stressed that, to obtain recognition forthemselves and the school, faculty members must publisharticles.

He scheduled a two-day meeting in July 1983, at which thefaculty, visiting professors, adjunct faculty, students, and repre-sentatives from the Board of Visitors shared ideas about teach-ing methods, class size, judicial externships, the value of clinicaleducation, the development of student discipline, the causes ofstudent discontent, and the best use of adjunct professors.

In his report to the President of the University and theBoard of Visitors in February 1984, Dean Tausend presented animpressive list of recent publications, articles, and books in pro-cess and other significant accomplishments of the faculty at thelaw school. Most of the tenured faculty had written one or morescholarly articles within the prior year. Others had participatedas seminar leaders and panelists at bar association meetings andseminars. The Supreme Courts of Washington and Alaska con-sistently seek UPS law school faculty members to give CLE sem-inars to their judges.

Professor Marilyn Berger reports that Dean Tausend hasdone a remarkable job in reorganizing the administration of thelaw school. For example, the Registrar's Office, Financial Aid,and Admissions have been computerized. The efficiency createdby these changes translates into better service to students. Addi-tionally, Dean Tausend's superior leadership motivates the staffto new levels of excellence and loyalty to the school.

He leads by example. He was a principal speaker at a semi-

[Vol. 9:441


nar on civil practice and procedure sponsored by the Seattle-King County Bar Association. He was a main speaker at the1983 annual fall judicial conference of Washington State Judgesand Commissioners. He was a debater at the State Bar Associa-tion's annual meeting on the subject of constitutional issues.

In the summer of 1985, the National Association of Attor-neys General had its antitrust section meeting in Seattle. DeanTausend participated in a demonstration in District JudgeRothstein's court by critiquing a mock trial.

TEACHING AND PRACTICING LAW

Some academicians have said that law professors and espe-cially law deans should not attempt to practice law. FredTausend disagrees. He disagrees particularly in so far as he isconcerned.

Before becoming dean, he had represented some Everett cit-izens in a successful court challenge of a state redistricting plan.When a new plan was proposed by the legislature, Fredric C.Tausend, the attorney, was asked again to represent those citi-zens and institute legal action if necessary.

Time permitting, when he could get away from his responsi-bilities at the law school, he took on other challenges. Oneassignment took him to Alaska where he served as Special Pros-ecutor to investigate problems associated with the Governor'scampaign debt. An outside lawyer was needed, and the AlaskaAttorney General chose Fred. He took Associate Dean DavidBoerner to assist him. Fred also represented the Seattle Marin-ers baseball team's management in the litigation aspects of thecontroversy over the lease of the county's domed stadium.

He firmly believes that a dean should teach in the classroom- or at least that Dean Tausend should do so. Before becomingdean, he was a member of the adjunct faculty for five years. Asdean, he maintained his commitment to teaching one courseeach semester in such areas as antitrust, trade regulations andpractices, intellectual properties, and civil procedure.

In 1983, he teamed up with Professor Marilyn Berger toteach first-year civil procedure. She reports that he electrifiedthe class with his love of the law. He emphasized ethics and role-playing, while continuing to use the Socratic method. Studentsresponded enthusiastically. When Professor David Roberts diedsuddenly in 1984, the dean took over the civil procedure coursefor first-year students which Professor Roberts had begun.

DEVELOPMENT OF ALUMNI SUPPORT

Fred Tausend has great strength in public information. Inhis first year as dean, he embarked on the improvement ofalumni relations. With the President of the Law Alumni Associ-ation, he established an Alumni Day at the law school. Theresponse was enthusiastic and that event has spurred theschool's efforts to develop loyalty, appreciation, and support ofits graduates.

Well over ten percent of alumni each year assist the schoolas volunteers in areas ranging from admissions to placement.They host regional recruiting gatherings in their homes andoffices, provide individual counsel to prospective and enrolledstudents, participate as guest speakers in the school's majorplacement programs, and more. In addition, financial supportfrom alumni is on the rise. An Annual Fund campaign, launchedfor the first time in 1983, is now well in place. Gifts from gradu-ates increased 267% from 1983 to 1984 alone, and indicationsare that alumni contributions will double the 1984 figure whenthe 1985-86 drive is completed.

The dean recognizes that his constituency includes thebench and bar to which he must make regular reports. In theBulletin of the Seattle-King County Bar Association, hereported on the clinical program at UPS:

If it isn't the proper function of a law school to teach itsstudents how to find their way to the courthouse, it is appro-priate, indeed necessary, that future lawyers learn why andwhen to go to court and why good lawyers do what they dowhen they get there. Teaching law students the so-called skillsof application gives added significance to the theoretical andanalytical aspects of their legal education. It should also enablethem to enter practice with a better grasp not only of tech-niques, but of the reasons behind the techniques, tactics andstrategies involved in the practice of law. This philosophyguides the clinical program at the University of Puget SoundSchool of Law.

The student participants in the Civil Law Clinic, anoptional course, have been enthusiastic about the course offer-ing. In their evaluation of the course, they have consistentlygiven it top marks.

In June 1983, the dean proudly presented a number of hislaw graduates for admission to the Supreme Court of the UnitedStates.

[Vol. 9:441


Over 100 persons attended the school's first Alumni Break-fast held in September 1985 in conjunction with the State BarConvention in Seattle. Dean Tausend presided and told anenthusiastic group of alumni and faculty about the school's pro-gress and successes. He outlined fund-raising goals. He alsoreported on his "pet" project to recognize the school's fine con-stitutional law faculty in a series of seminars and "summer insti-tutes" honoring the anniversaries of the federal and stateconstitutions.

Dean Tausend has built institutions for money raising.After leaving his deanship, he will continue to be involved in thefund-raising that is necessary to a private school wishing toembark on programs other than traditional ones.

CONCLUSION: A SUCCESSFUL DEANSHIP

Fred made the university, the legal profession, and lawteachers, locally and nationally, aware of the UPS Law School.Following two fine deans, he built on their foundations,strengthened and cherished them, and produced a school ofnational reputation. One of his greatest accomplishments hasbeen to attract young faculty of ability and scholars of estab-lished reputation. That work has assured the school's future.

He has aimed to develop pride among his faculty-pride intheir calling to teach young men and women, and pride in theinstitution which they serve. His students noted that effort andthey, too, have reflected pride in the school, in the university,and in the high standards expected of them. Early on, Fred con-vinced his graduates that no goal was beyond their reach and nochallenge was more than they could meet.

We who observed all this have noted the effect on the uni-versity's trustees. They became very much aware of what washappening in the Norton Clapp Law Center under Fred's leader-ship and concluded that they were right all along in finding andfunding the means to establish a law school. Fred Tausend andthe law school have made their mark on legal education in thepast six years. There is no doubt about that.

This record could not have been made but for the loyaltyand understanding heart of Marilyn Tausend. She put up withFred's late hours in the classroom, at his desk, and in the corri-dors, talking to students. She did it in the good spirit andpatience so often seen in spouses of professional persons. Butshe went beyond mere cheerful resignation. She is a lady of

19861

imagination and wisdom and she contributed much originalthought and energy to developing the concepts which have madethe school successful.

The bench and bar will welcome Fred Tausend back withenthusiasm as his deanship ends. The warmth of that greetingwill be enhanced by the firm expectation that he will continuehis interest in legal education and in helping others to becomebetter lawyers.
