FROM THE

CUM1ULATIVE GRADINGIn spite of many rumors, there will not be cumulative

grading for the third year class this year and probably notnext year either. Dean Amandes (who was interviewed thismonth in place of Dean Sammis who is in Spain) stated thatthe ma"tter was not formally discussed by the faculty at anytimae this year, and that no vote had been taken.EXA.M1HNATION GRADING PROCEDURE

As most everyone knows, final examinations will begrinhere May 23. For the first year students, this will be a newexperience. The procedure followed in determining a per-son's grade aver,,age is as follows.

Each paper is graded by the respective professor incharge of the particular subject. The papers are g r a d e danonymously, numbers being used to identify the student in-stead of his name, and the professor not knowing which num-ber belongs to which student. The grades are then turnedinto the office for averaging. If a professor wishes to adjusta grade, he turns the student's name into the office and howmuch he wishes to dock the student. A professor can lowera student's grade by a maximum of 3 points in this manner.Such docking is~ done for insufficient class attendance, un-preparedness, etc. But the professor does not know whatgrade he gave the student on the exam paper as that wasanonymous. Thus the professor might lower a 71 to a 68; orcould just as well lower a 92 to a 90. However, this pro-cedure is rarely used.

Each class grade arrived at, exam paper grade less anypenalty, is multiplied by the number of units for the course.The totals arrived at for each course are then added togetherand this sum is divided by the number of units the studenttook that year. The result is the student's grade average.

Dean Amandes stated that there is no previously set"flunk out rate." Neither is there any adjustment of gradesturned in by professors. Each professor sets up his own grad-ing standards and is his own determiner of how they are tobe applied. (However, some of the new and some of the part-time professors ask the Dean for advice before they start tograde an exam.)

There is no adjustment of the averages between sections,as a rule. The one exception is if the discrepancy betweenthe two or three sections is exorbitant. (For example, if onesection came out with a median of 72 or an average of 72, asthe case may be, and the other section had a score of 80.)But note that this adjustment is done only if the final gradeaverages vary exorbitantly. There is no adjustment of gradesby individual class or professor. Normally, the various sec-

tins1gad aerge re fr 11;_ l cor-relat ive7a n no -nn adjust -

In place of Sales, Wills will be a required second yearcourse. Consequently, there will be five sections of Willsnext year - two for the third year and three f or the secondyear. Sammis will teach one section, Wicks two, and Basyetwo. The following year, Wills will be dropped as a require-mient for the third year.

Next year Equity will only be a four unit course andNottelmann will teach two sections. The third will be taughtby a new professor from Oklahoma, Mr. Fraser. In place ofthe extra two units of Equity, the second year class will berequired to take Legal Research and Writing, a one unitcourse to be given in conjunction with Moot Court and taughtby Renee Rubin,' a 1963 Hastings graduate and the currentWrit Clerk for the District Court of Appeals. The secondyear class will have eight hours of electives next year.

All electives that were taught this year will be taughtnext year with the exception of Muni Corps, which is beingdropped. In addition,, next year Insurance will be taught byMr. Green, who previously has taught at Washington (Seat-tle), Washington U (St. Louis), and NYU. A new course wvillbe offered in Legal Drafting, a third year spring electivetaught by Miss Rubin.

NEW PROFESSORS AND PROFESSORS LEAVINGGeorge Stevens is leaving to become Dean at Lewis and

Clark in Oregon. His classes in Civil Pro will be taught bythe new professor Mr. Fraser (Visiting Professor fromOklahoma).

Dean Amandes is leaving to become Dean of a law schoolin Texas. We wish him much success in his new endeavor.His place will be taken by Joe Munster, who will teachLegral Pro.

6Dean Anderson will teach only Legal Clinic next yearand will devote the rest of his time to his administrative du-ties. Administrative Law will be taught by Garrett Elmore,who has taught as Hastings before.

Paul Anderson will devote all of his time to his practicenext year. Peter K. Maier will be the new Tax professor.

PLACEM ENTBy Robert J. Radway. ASU

Placement ChairmanAt last week's meeting (M~ay

6, 7, and 8), the Board of Gov-ernors of the Hastings, Alum~-ni Association approved plansfoir a new pilot pr-ogram. de-signed to expand. placementopportunities for H,-stingsstudents.

This program, modeled atter asimilar innovation it a largeifMidwestern law school, will1 en-able a prospective third yeai stu-dent to personally meet witliHastings Alumni and other us-terested and available employers.on a scheduled basis this suma-mer. The student will operatefrom an office in the school forabout 10 weeks, and when notin the field contacting prospec-tive employers by appointment,will be contacting them by tele-phone, and entertaining them onoccasion at Hastings. The AlumniAssociation has agreed to under-write most of the costs of theprogram, including this student'ssalary, and the i-emainder- willbe financed by ASH funds.

-EMVPHASIS--The emphasis will initially be

on two facets of the placementprogram: more summer (internship) positiuns fur secund yearstudents, and the new Lawyer'sResearch Pool. The latter- is be-ing ci-eated at the request of sev-er-al San Francisco attor-neys,who feel this would satisfy a veryurgent ineed. It will consist ofLegal Minute-men-that is, quali-fled students available to do spotresearch assignments for attotr-neys at a standard i-ate on an"on-call" basis. We have ar-ranged for a sign-up list to beavailable in Dean Marvin J. An-derson's office for students whowill be available this summer,and have requested such assign-ments if the demand is ci-eated.If you sign up for this, YOU Mustgive a phone number- wher-e yout

to retuin here to inter-view ourgraduates.

Most of us ar-e unaware thatin the past three academic yearsthe number of law firms, govern-ment law offices, and legal de-partments of coi-por-ations inter-viewing, at Hastings has expand-ed from twelve (12) in the aca-demic year 1963-64, to seventy-three (73) -this 1965-66 year.Many of these interviewers havebeen Alumni of the Hastings Col-lege of the Law, and the re-sponse and inquiries have beenincreasingly encouraging, Thissummer the pilot program wiltbe confined to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay area, and if success-ful will be expanded in the fuitui-e to covet- the Los Angelesarea, and then the entire state.

-OBJECTIVE-While the pi-imary objective

is placement, this student willalso be working closely with th'Hastings Law Journal and theVoir Dire in an attempt to in-cr-ease the circulatron of bothpublications. In addition, the pr-ograin at anothei- law school.(re-ferred to earlier-) resulted in thedevelopment of a number ofscholar-ship funds from enthiiserdand appreciative Alumni. Wehope we can enjoy similar I- ucess.

Hastings' delegates JeromeSapiro. Jr. and Richard S.Berger recently r et ur ne dMiami where the Twelfth Na-tional Conference of Law Re-views wxas conducted. Theyreturned with a major prize.The Ha-stings Law Journalwas selected to host the thir-teenth conference.

Over 200 delegyates from about100 schools are expected to par-ticipate in the next m e e t i n gslated for March 15-18, Wednes-day through Saturday. Contractneglotiations are underway withthe Sir, Francis Drake hotelwhere the delegcates will behoused and seminars, meetingsand dining will take place. Ar.ranglements have been thus fardescribed as "posh" and "lavish."

GOOD REP.Sapir-o, and Ber-ger stated that

"Hastingis is highly respected byothe- l,,-w schools" The r-easonsbeingi two-fold: the notoriouslyfine faculty and the quality ofthe Law Joui~nal.

Our men-in-Miami noted thi-eegeneral reactions to Hastings'participation at the conference,which was hosted by the Univer-sity of Miami. Theire was sui-pi-isethat a major West Coast schoolattended, a suggyoestion that Hast-ingos be the next host school, andinquiry as to the health andability of the faculty.

There was an immediate pushfor- Hastings to host the 1967conference. On the first nomi-nation. Hastings' name was putfoi-th, a motion that nominationsbe closed was passed and SanFr-ancisco's "lui-e" and Hastings'reputation won the day.

PURPOSEThe put-pose of the NCLR is

to assist its members in betterser-vingy the academic and pi-o-fessional legal community. Tothis end, this year's three-dayconference held seminairs in four

panded pi-ogi-am. Next yeai-'sconference will be held overfour days, one more than at Mi-ami. Professors Perkins, Powelland Piosser have already indi-cated desir-es to lectuie. And in-vitations to all American lawreviews and journals will soonbe' in the mails.

The incumbent Editoiial Boardannounced the staff appoint-ments for- next year. These stu-dents will be charged with thepi-imai-v responsibilities in i-un-ning the conference: Stephen E.Newton.

Twenty-five members of the:second year class were recentlychosen to comprise the David E.Snodgrass Moot Court Board for1966-67. With little time remain-ing in the semester, the Boardhas settled immediately to workin an effort to determine whichar-eas of theMoot Court Programcan be most improved upon. Atthis time committee reports arestill being formulated, and theBoard has not yet formally passedupon any specific changes. Possi-ble developments, however, in-clude, inter alia: holding roundsin municipal court rooms as wellas the Hastings Moot Court Roomin order to complete the programbefore Christmas vacation; acomplete revision of the Hand-book, to be ready for printingby next spring; substantial modi-fications to the grading systemto make it as objective as possi-ble, including the possible taperecording of oral presentations;

increased contact between stu-dent judges and round partici-pants, and a clarification of whatis expected from the participantson motion day.

A significant breakthrough ishoped for in the area of obtain-ing attorneys to act as adviscrsto the student judges in the prep-aration of their problems and toserve as judges in the MootCourt rounds. The BarristersClub of San Francisco has ex-pressed its willingness to assistin locating attorneys who havea real desire to strengthen theMoot Court program through (hecreation of problems that areconsistently well balanced, edu-cational and professionally stim-ulating. This program contactwith practicing attorneys, cou-pled with the great enthusiasmand sincere dedication evidencedby each member of the 1966-67Board, will4 go far toward makingMoot Court a professionally re-warding and personally exhila-rating experience for each par-ticipant.
