From list custodian re: political mix of legal academy

[Stanley M. Morris]

It all depends.I was at a national convention several years ago.In
conversation with another lawyer, I mentioned that I had started law school
at U of Chicago in 1962. My colleague responded "Those guys are sooo
conservative." I responded that I thought they were pretty liberal.
Perspective. My Con law Prof was Phillip Kurland a devoted fan of Norman
Thomas as far as I could tell. My trusts Prof was Dallin Oakes Now a member
of the Council of Twelve of theLDS church. Ed Levi was Dean -- for a while
AG under Nixon.Wally Blum taught Tax and I think pretty liberal.
