Students debate future
of law clinics in forum
(Continued from Page 1)
how to think like lawyers but not how to
act like them," he said.
Many students said it is fascinating to
see the principles they learned in class
applied in the courtroom.
"It was interesting because it was
real-real people with real backgroun-
ds," said Elise Bean, a third year law
student.
Students replied that the clinic has a
negative reputation among faculty,
which often deters students from taking
the courses.
ONE REASON for the clinics'
negative reputation, explained law
student Erica Munzel, is that attorneys
who practice courtroom litigation,
which the clinic courses teach, don't
have as high a status as attorneys who
work for large corporations and don't
use courtroom litigation skills as often.
Law student David Schreier said the
clinic program is essential to counter
the emphasis that is often placed on
lawyers who help rich corporations in-
stead of needy people.
We owe it to the embryonic student to
give him the impression and oppor-
tunity and implant the idea and notion
of giving our services to those who need
it and can't afford it," Schreier said.
HE ADDED that for some, the clinic
program is the only opportunity to do
"pro bono" work (work for the good of
the people.)
Jonathan Rose, director of Student
Legal Services, also spoke in favor of
the program. Of the beginning lawyers
who come to work for his office, those
who have had clinic courses in law
school "were excellent lawyers when
they walked in the door," he said.
Students said simulation courses do
not offer the same kind of experience
clinic courses can.
A student who just takes a simulation
class "has no appreciation of the
pressure it puts on you having someone
blindly trust you" the way a client has
to trust their lawyer, said Vidmar, a
third year student.
He added that while the pressures of
academic law classes and grades may
reduce the confidence of many
struggling students, "clinic is a way for
a person in that position to gain a lit-
tle."

E-Systems continues
the tradition of
the world's great problem solvers.
Maxwell's electro-
magnetic field theory led to
huge practical scientific
advances. His light theory
led to his own development
of one of the first color
photos and the kinetic
theory of gasses.
Scientists and en-
gineers at E-Systems are
carrying on in the tradition of
Maxwell's genius. Today,
they are solving some of the
world's toughest problems
in electronically steered
phased array antennas,
electromagnetic scattering
and solar ray concentration,
using his findings as tools.
E-Systems is main-
taining a reputation for
designing and building
communications, data,
antenna, intelligence and
reconnaissance systems
that are often the first-of-a-
kind in the world.
