During the last 10 years, we’ve had some positive changes in the legal-writing program here at Texas. We’ve had some problems, too, but let’s not go into that.

I may have given the impression that I deserve credit for the changes. I don’t. I was just here when they happened. Let me be specific by listing the major changes and then the party responsible:

Pass-fail to graded—former director

Increase in faculty from 4 to 6—Wayne

Increase in faculty from 6 to 8—faculty committee, former associate dean, donor

Increase in faculty from 8 to 9—dean

Change in role of TQs (teaching assistants)—former dean

Increase in credits from 2 to 4—faculty committee, former associate dean

Salary increase—former dean

Three-year contracts—former dean

Summer research stipends—dean, clinical director
