14 Memorial Day May 23 4 GOLDEN GATE SCHOOL OF LAW No profession is broader than the law. The lawyer is many things: scholar, law-maker, practitioner, administrator, negotiator, arbiter of disputes. Consequently, the education of the lawyer ought to be as rich and complex as the tasks that he or she may be called upon to perform. The lawyer must learn the law and the art of practice, understand and appreciate the underlying political and social policies which have helped shape the law, and be aware of the issues of the present and the probable future.
Only then can the lawyer respond effectively to the challenges of an ever-changing society. It is upon these premises that the educational experience offered at the Golden Gate University School of Law has been designed. HISTORY Founded in 1901, Golden Gate University is a private, non-profit, accredited institution of higher learning which offers comprehensive programs of professional and liberal studies at the graduate and undergraduate level. The School of Law was established in 1901 and is now in its 75th year of offering legal education.
Although it originally was only an evening program, since 1965 it has had both a three-year full-time and a four-year part-time program leading to the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence. LOCATION Golden Gate Unversity School of Law is housed in a five-story building which it shares with other academic departments of the Uni- versity at 536 Mission Street in the heart of downtown San Francisco. The School is located within a few minutes of Federal and State Courts and various City, State and Federal Government offices and agencies and is readily accessible by public transportation and by car. Parking is available nearby.
ACCREDITATION Golden Gate University School of Law is approved by the Ameri- can Bar Association and accredited by the Committee of Bar Exami- ners of the State Bar of California. 5 LAW LIBRARY The Law Library has been assigned a paramount place of importance in the development of the Law School. It presently contains over 75,000 volumes and the collection is continuing to grow at a rapid rate. Acquisitions are planned to support the Law School curriculum and to provide a research center for students and faculty.
The Library is also a designated depository for publications of the State of Cali- fornia. The Law Library has been the recipient of substantial gifts from alumni to create and maintain special collections. A substantial grant established the collection of American and British Commonwealth law review volumes in memory of Carol Holmquist Drexler, J. This collection was augmented by a grant in memory of Barbara Carpenter Crosett, 1909-1971.
A recent gift established the Eldon Sellers Collection of Primary American Materials. 6 LAW SCHOOL FACULTY JUDITH GRANT McKELVEY, Dean and Professor of Law B., 1959, University of Wisconsin J.
