Lawyers in the Computer Age
by Ted Hulbert
he computer as an instrument in the work of lawyers has revolutionary potential. Even lawyers who have never touched a computer probably would agree with that truism. More remarkable, however, is the fact that when lawyers do begin using computers they discover that the computer's usefulness surpasses their expectations.
Computersareusedin lawoffices.ofcourse,topro· cess the daily flow of countless words and documents and to expedite back-office functions such as billing.Butfarmoresignificant is the computer's usefulness in the actual processes oflawyering, and also in legal scholarship, education, and research. Many lawyers regard the computer as indispensable in any field involving numbers, such as tax, estate planning, or damages. Some lawyers have learned to write their own computer programming for theirpractices in heavily-quantitative specialties, or they work with programmers to achieve the same end. But practicing law in a field where the numbers mean everything isn't the only reasonto usea computer.
UCLA law Professor Stanley Siegel was doing fairly sophisticated work on_the tax structuring of
pension plans nearly 20 years ago at the University of Michigan; in those days, Siegel wrote his own programs in Fortran, and his assistant keypunched cards which were fed into an immense machine. Siegel now has a desktop computer which is faster and infinitely more efficient; recently, he composed an entire book on his personal computer.
To call this application of the computer "word processing" misses the point, says Professor Siegel. '"Word processing' is an inadequate term for what I do. I use the computer to store and work interactively with my thoughts. It is far more effective than a secretary for a variety of reasons. No other person, however fast, can have the end product to me rightafter I have thought of it, and the computer can. If you want to see a product immediately, this is the only way to go."
The speed gained in producing documents by computer is an important advantage, and yet, says Siegel, it is not the computer's most important advantage. The increased level of interaction with one's own thoughts is by far more important. "The draft you generate in a computer is much more polished than what you would generate otherwise. In writing my book, the first draft was more polished thanwould have been the third or fourth.
"I realize that a great many people think typing is beneath them. That misses the point. It is not a matter of forcing people into becoming typists. It is a matter of facilitating writing. For me, this has ?.men a revelation.
"This use of the computer, it seems to me, will become universal in law practice. In time, I think, lawyers will become typists as a defensive matter. In a number of working law offices, this has happened already. With a good data retrieval system, it is possible for a lawyer to write a will without even having the intervention of a secretary-although I am not arguing that we should eliminateall administrative personnel."
Word processing is the simplest and easiest to learn application of the computer. The second level of application is the electronic spreadsheet, a traditional computer use, in which all manner of quantitative analysis now comes easily within any lawyer's access. A third computer application for law practice is data base management: programs which accumulate and summarize information.
Lexis and Westlaw are basically large scale data bases accessed by keyword and context search techniques. Myriad other data bases can be used in the same way; a desktop computer with a phone connection potentially can access any data base, including airline schedules, library catalogs, or computerized mail systems.
"This has a liberating influence," says Professor Siegel, "and there is a sense in which it is going to become possible for a lawyer to set up an office in his or her home and-with a good computer-have access to libraries, have the ability to generate documents effectively, to produce bills, and all possiblywithoutany otherpersonnel.
"In the past it was almost impossible to be a single practitioner in the true sense of the word. It is possible now. And it is possible for lawyers to have full access from their homes to everything necessary at their law offices; to do their work at home, and come into their offices toseeclients."
A task which previously would take a tax attorney 12 hours to accomplishcan be accomplished now in 15 minutes-once the computer model is in place.
"I use the computer to work interactively with my thoughts. The computer can have the end product to me right after I have thought ofit."
Professor Siegel also sees some potential problems. "I do have some worries, and one of them is the ease with which computerized documents can be put together, which may cause some lawyers to write ever longer documents. We may also see excesses in reliance on quantitative data. Further, there is a tendency to trust too much whatisgeneratedby a computer.
"By the way," Siegel adds, "computers are very elementary in their nature. There is no sense in which they think in the ways that humans do. They are, however, wonderful in performing sophisticated tasks of comparing and evaluating."
Just how wonderfully computers perform those tasks for lawyers was made evident to UCLA law students last Spring during a seminar in tax planning. C. David Anderson of Tuttle & Taylor, who was among the first tax lawyers to use the computer for quantitative analysis, taught the seminar with Professors William A. Klein and Siegel.
Tests have shown that when lawyers or others evaluate intuitively the time value of money (for example, in real estate investments, tax shelters, or pensions) they usually arrive at wrong answers. But in a computer model, the expected interest rates, rates of return, other variables, and their interactions can beanalyzedmeticulously.
In an article explaining the quantitative dimension of tax planning, C. David Anderson wrote: "By this we mean a relatively sophisticated combination of tax knowledge and finance theory, applied through computer-operated models of the long-term effects of a tax planning decision, with the goal of determining the financial value of alternative tax planning choices. More simply put, we mean 'doing the numbers,' but in a sophisticated fashion."
One reason why intuition fails is explained by Anderson:"We have been continually impressed at how difficult it is to determine which of the various factors in a quantitative analysis will be
"The question comes down to how you store each document so youcan find it six months later. That's thefunction of a good computer system."
dominant. Our experience is that it is very easy to tell which direction a change in a variable will push the result, but that it is very hard to predict theamount oftheeffect."
The advent of inexpensive microcomputers, notes Anderson, "has radically decreased the time necessary to construct and run useful quantitative tax planning models." Or, as Siegel explains the situation, a task which previously would take the tax attorney 12 hours now can be accomplished in 15 minutes-once the computer model is inplace.
The importanceof this method in legal education is explained by Professor Klein: "The main challenge for students is not figuring out how to use the computer. What they need to do is figure out how to set up the analysis to take account of everything that happens in a tax planning setting. For example, if a client is investing in a tax shelter, they must know everything that happens from month to month, from year to year, from the flow of revenue coming in, and tax benefits, and the effect on the total tax situation of the client. Without the computer, you don't have the capability to analyze the effect of all these variables. With the computer,it becomesrewarding to set up one of these complex models. The principal challenge, it seems to me, is understanding the way the investment and the tax consequences of the investmentoperate."
Other obvious uses for computer models, notes Anderson, are any situations involving negotiations or deal making. "A fair number of transactions these days involve some sophisticated modeling. One side may say, 'We can't make the rate of return come out.' Then the other side says, 'Let us show you our model. We should be able to make it come out.' Or when you get into valuing assets with a long time value, and one of the main assets is a real estate project, you can generate a model to show presentvalue."
Litigators at major firms frequently put documents on a data baseto sort and recall information;
Anderson predicts more firms will develop inhouse systems for litigation support since timesharing on large computers is expensive.
Jon J. Gallo '67 of Greenberg, Glusker, Fields Claman & Machtinger personally uses the compute; for writing, data base management, and tax computations. He has written a number of his own programs. Although sufficiently comfortable with computers to do his own programming, Gallo usually takes an existing spreadsheet program and expands it to meet his needs. "Most of the programs are sufficiently flexible that it doesn't make sense to invent your own program," he notes.
Gallo is among the authors of a computer-based system for drafting wills. He frequently uses his desktop computer when writing articles for Practicing Law Institute, Continuing Education of the Bar, and other legal organizations.
Dennis Brown '70 of Munger, Tolles & Rickershauser gives an example of a case which couldn't have been managed without a computer. When the firm was appointed examiner in the reorganization of Itel under the bankruptcy code, Brown discovered that there were 20 million documents involved.
"I sat down with Itel's computer people and they wrote to my specifications a plan for

organization of the documents. We were able to examine documents based on who had written them, who had received them, the subject matter, the date, or any combination of those things. The computer listed all the documents that fit any description, and we looked at a million documents to write our report," Brown recalls.
In another bankruptcy case, a San Diego bank where there are thousands of relevant documents, Brown is now devising a computer program to sort and store all the data so that a complete analysis can be made of a single customer's transactions.
Many data base systems specifically designed for law practice now are on the market. "I think every major law firm is using such a system," Brown says, "if not for all or most of their litigation, at least for specific large litigation. It would be impossible to keep control of documents or to locate them otherwise. If you're talking about 100,000 documents, and you start sifting through documentation, the question comes down to how you store each document so that six months later when you are taking the deposition of a financial officer of the corporation you can find that document again. That's the function of a good computersystem."
Douglas K. Freeman '70 of Freeman, Freeman &
He is certain that computerized document drafting will be widely accepted, since computer software produces documents which are procedurally correct.
Smiley has concluded that his practice of charitable tax planning and estate planning would be impossible without computerized economic and tax analysis. "We were essentially making projections of benefits without being able to identify them specifically. Now we are able to be specific."
The demand by other attorneys, accountants, and charitable institutions for thistype of computer software is so great, in fact, that Freeman has formed a separate company, PhilanthroTec, to write and distribute software which fits the specifications stated by Freeman's law firm. "The market is absolutely huge," Freeman says. "More and more lawyers are becoming involved in charitable gifts. As we develop the market, we willexpandmoreinto the estate tax area."
Another alumnus whose practice has become focused on computers and the law is Michael D. Scott '73. While he counsels clients in matters of computer and telecommunications law, Scott also publishes a Computer/Law Journal on legal problems of the computer industry; The Scott Report, a monthly summary of legal developments in the computer field; and Software Protection, directed mainlyat those who sell software.
Scott foresees a rapid expansion in computer law practice in Southern California. "The Silicon Valley is heavily into computer hardware, but Southern California is becoming the preeminent area now for computer software and services," he says.
He expects that software for legal practice in estate planning, family law, and other areas "where 90 percent of the cases are straightforward" will proliferate rapidly. He also is certain that computerized document drafting will be widely accepted by the profession, since computer software produces documents which are procedurally correct.
"The problem, however, is that a law firm really is not computerized after it has computerized each separate department. Most firms still use paper
telephone messages; there is no reason why a receptionist can't key these messages into a computer system, which will continue to remind thelawyertoreturnthecall.
"Another difficulty in lawfirms is manual filing systems; unless the index is excellent, documents happen to get lost. If you use a computer for pleadings, memoranda of law, and other such things, at the same time you generate your pleading or memo you indicate it should be archived. The computer can index every key word.In one major New York firm, every lawyer hasaterminalandisexpectedtouseit."
Scott sees the computer as an enhancement to legal precedent. "The computer meshes wonderfully with our idea of precedent; it provides the ability to make new decisions available to the general profession sooner, eliminating the lag between the time a case is decided and the time when the profession can use that case for precedental purposes. The same is true of legislative actions. With a computer system, you have accesstoanactthedayitispassed."
At least one justice of the U. S. Supreme Court personally uses a terminal,and the word processing system which the court uses for drafting opinionsincludeshalfa dozenterminals ineach of the nine chambers, all connected to the printshop so that type issetrightoff the record as opinions aredrafted.
UCLA Acting Professor John S. Wiley used that system when he clerked at the Supreme Court, and he continues to use a computer to write articles and to prepare notes for his law courses. "It's a dandy way to outline my thoughts and to keep revising class material. It's the easiest way ofputtingthoughtstopaper."
Many of his colleagues at the School of Law agree.

His desktop computer is now used for all writing and class preparation. "It is ideal for someone who is a fast butnotentirelyaccuratetypist."
Professor Reginald H. Alleyne, Jr., uses his computer not only for scholarly and informal writing, but for arbitration opinions. "It is love at first cite," quipped the Journal of the National Academy ofArbitrators when it reported recently on Alleyne's experience. Alleyne summarizes it this way: "The computer not only increases

production about five-fold, but it also improves the quality of the product. Editing is now so easy that I'll change anything I don't like, no matter how minor mydiscontent."
His classes, too, benefit. "I always gain some fresh insights before or after class based on discussion; then, I go back to the computer and make amendments to my notes accordingly. My notes constantly are being updated."
Professor Daniel H. Lowenstein stores his notes by key words when doing research for scholarly articles, whichpermitsinstant retrieval of precisely the research he wants at any point in the writing process. Lowenstein has written a computer program to compile student scores on exams; his program permits weighting various questions, and it sorts each student's composite score in ranked order.
"I would like to learn more statistics and math," he adds, since he suspects computer-based quantitative data will become more important in legal scholarship.
Acting Professor Carrie Menkel-Meadow, who has done all her writing the past three years on a computer, suggests a computer-influenced increase in empirical legal scholarship. In a study she published recently on how legal services attorneys allocate their resources, Menkel-Meadow computed and correlated on her home computer all the statistical data from her interviews with subjects. "This kind of program revolutionizes researchmakes it possible for a law professor to do different kinds of scholarship. It may lead to more empirical work."
The centers of legal research, law libraries, are being profoundly reshaped by the computer. UCLA Law Librarian Frederick E. Smith casts the rapid explosion of legal research technology into a broader context of library automation which has developed steadily for years. A national network of automated cataloging a decade ago was one of the big breakthroughs.
Now the law library catalog as it has been known for decades may become extinct. The card catalog in the law library, and in other components of the UCLA Library system, has been computerized. UCLA's locally developed on-line system, called ORION, enables access not only to bibliographic files of books in the library, but also to the record of materials in process. Filing of cards in the law library card catalog ended in December, 1982.
Smith foresees the merging-and not far in the future-of both the case research terminals of the Lexis and Westlaw variety with the bibliographic terminals of ORION's genre. "Eventually we'll have one terminal that accesses all these things, andthatday is comingrather quickly."
The day also is coming when law libraries will be forced to decide between having some materials

in computer-accessed data base form or in paper copy, but not both. When that eventual day comes, library users will have no choice but to becomecomputerliterate.
What lies just ahead in legal research technology?
"Technology," Smith says, "has impacts that you do not foresee. I do believe that we will see as a trend the bringing together into one station the various resources or services that are available by computer. The model for that may be the personal computer. I can see a number of personal computers spread around the library, on which users can call up data bases, do legal research and writing assignments, take notes, and build their own files. We probably will have a mix of terminals and computersin the library.
"It is difficult to believe that we could go over to a completely automated library, in the sense of having no books, or even very few books. I don't foresee all hard copy being eliminated. I do see the resources available by computer becoming much more rich. For example, we could easily put into a
data base the tables of contents of all the law reviews; it is not an overwhelming task, particularlyif shared bya number of schools.
"Another development which has begun already is distributed access, which is one of the great advantages of these systems. The law library catalog is no longer just in our reading room; it is wherever there is a terminal.
"In law schools," Smith continues, "we will see more selective distribution of information, where a profile is established for a person's interests, and then books or articles are called to that person's attention. We're not quite to the point where we can do that systematically, but we will get there. When we do, we will be anticipating the information needs of people, rather than waiting forthem to makethe inquiry."
In some ways, computers in a research library are cost-effective through efficiency. But they also tend to increase expectations. For example, Smith says, "Lexis and Westlaw add almost nothing new to our information resources. What they do is make it possible for the researcher to search faster and often more effectively.
"All these things cost money. Libraries have always cost money. Information is an economic commodity. Every time a book is circulated it costs roughly 50 cents; we don't worry about that, we regard it as a reasonable cost. We are in a new environment, where library services are improving and the costs are increasing," Smith observes. "People expect libraries to respond to the environment in which they are living, but someone has to pay the costs."D
WilliamWarren's Return As Teacher and Scholar
by Rebecca Morrow
ollowing his seven years as dean and a writing sabbatical last year, William D. Warren has returned this Fall to the classrooms of UCLA's School of Law.
Warren and law at UCLA are nearly synonymous terms. Except for three years as a professor at Stanford, Warren has been at the UCLA School of Law since 1959, educating students on the ever-changing world of commercial and bankruptcy law and serving as dean from 1975 to 1982.
In addition to these responsibilities, Warren, 58, has managed many more. He has served on federal and state commissions on commercial and consumer law as a member or consultant; participated in drafting a uniform consumer credit code, now law in many states; and written numerous books and articles.
But in this academic year, Warren has gladlyalmost reverently-returned to teaching. His return has been welcomed by both students and his faculty colleagues, for among both groups Bill Warrenis greatly admired.
Warren has been voted "professor of the year" by graduating UCLA law classes on four separate occasions. He received similar accolades at Stanford Law School in 1973 and at the University of Illinois School of Law in 1959. In addition, he was the 1974 winner of Stanford's first Hurlbutt Award for excellence in teaching, a prestigious honorgivenannuallyto the top professor.
Warren, ever modest of his own achievements, plays down the importance of what he calls

"beauty contest" professor of the year awards. But given his philosophy of teaching, it is easy to understand why he has earned both the respect and the special recognition of students. "I find teaching very enjoyable," he explains. "I think you're successful in teaching only if you have a great deal of respect for the students you're teaching. You must be able to communicate and in order to communicate effectively, I think you have to keep in mind what students know and whattheydon'tknow.
"The fact that they seem to have difficulty learning at times," he adds, "is not an indication that the potential is not there. Students have an immensecapacityto learn. They can learn anything you can teach. So I would say whatever success I have had as a teacher is because I have tried very hard to communicate with students and to stand as much as possible on the same level with them, rather than to stand above them and talk down to them.
"Today's law students," says Warren, "are mature enough that you can talk to them the way you talk to lawyers; you have a dialogue in which you talk about problems. It is important that you recognize that you are dealing with some difficult, unresolved, and perhaps unresolvable issues, and you must have respect for the views of the people you are teaching, just as they respect the views youhave."
As Warren glances backward at life, he realizes that, in some "respects, he always wanted to be a teacher. He always enjoyed public speaking and he always liked to write. "It seemed to be an ideal life," he remembers thinking, but a life which he never believedhewould beabletoachieve. "Getting into teaching was very difficult in the early 1950s. I could not, quite frankly, conceive of myself as a law teacher. When I was in law school, all of my teachers were in their fifties. I had enormous respect for them. The idea of my sitting upon the same stage seemed almost too much for me to aspireto."
But aspire and succeed he did. In 1950, he graduated Order of the Coif from the University of Illinois, having also been the top student in the junior and senior classes. For the next several years, he held non-tenured positions at the University of Illinois, Ohio State and Vanderbilt University. When offers came to join a firm and enter private practice or take a fellowship at Yale for his J.S.D., he opted for the latter. "The way you got into teaching in those days was to take a fellowship. I chose it thinking that all options were

still open; if I didn't like teaching, I could still go into practice."
But he liked teaching and eventually found himself in atenuredpostat hisundergraduateand law school alma mater. And it was at the Universityof Illinois that hegotintotheareasof commercial and bankruptcylaw.
Warren recalls with humor how he ended up a specialist in commercial and bankruptcy law. "In the old days, there was normally one teacher in each area at a law school. The newest teacher always taught whatever courses the others didn't want to teach. It was a process then of not you're choosing the area, but the area being assigned toyou.
"When I went to teach at the University of Illinois and started to become a colleague to those worthies whom I had been taught by, the person who had just retired had been their leading authority on commercial law. So the dean told me, 'You are going to teach commercial law.' I taught it, and Ilikedit,andI'vebeendoingit eversince.
"At the time I went into commercial law, my colleagues laughed and said, 'What a dead area to get into,"' he recalls. But, he adds, it turned out to be an area of unquestionable interest and one of the more lively areas of the law. "There have been enormous reforms," says Warren, "new laws, a uniform commercial code, and revolutions in bankruptcy and consumer law. It's turned out to be a field in which a lot has happened that has significantlyaffectedthe world.''
Warren stayed at the University of Illinois until 1959. While there, he was offered a visiting professorship at UCLA. He took it, andwas offered a permanent teaching position. Then came what he deems the most difficult professional decision of hislife-whethertostayamongfriendsandfamiliar surroundings at the University of Illinois or to strike out on something new. He decided to go West. It was, Warren says, the best and luckiest thing he ever did. "Illinois was and is a fine school,
but the opportunities here have been unbelievable."
He admits that he also agonized about going to Stanford in 1972, but he felt the offer was too good to refuse and he knew the change would be beneficial. He returned to UCLA in 1975, however when he was asked to come back as dean of th� law school.
''I'd been a law teacher virtually all my life. I was 49 years old and had had a number of administrative jobs offered to me before. I had decided that I was never going to take one. But when this job was offered to me, I had a great fondness for the school and for the faculty and I thought I'd likeit," Warren says. "The reason why I decided to try it was that it would be a great change of pace for me.
"I really think that anyone who spends a lifetime teaching should do some administrative work so that he or she understands what goes on in administration. It gives you a much larger perspective.
"What I found most enjoyable in being dean was the way it introduces you to different kinds of people, different situations. A teacher leads a rather more reclusive life than we perhaps would like to admit. Scholarship is a lonely business." As dean, "you have to assert yourself and extend yourself. You have to find strengths in yourself that you hoped you had but weren't sure of. You find yourself doing things that you had never done before.
"It's a stimulating life. It's an interesting life," Warren says. In fact, "there are no dull days."
But, he notes, the job is also extremely tiring and demanding. "Being a successful administrator takes an enormous amount of energy," he explains. "It's a terrible time commitment. It really is a seven-day-a-week job and requires more patience than you can imagine. Because of all the responsibility, you always think about the job. It is an all-consuming, totally immersing experience."
As dean, Warren faced a number of difficult challenges. During the mid-'70s, the law school
"You have to find strengths in yourseH that you hoped you had but weren't sure of. You find yourseH doing things that you had never done before."
was racked with threats of violence and student strikes centering on the school's affirmative action policies. Warren believes that outsiders would view the student strikes as the most trying event duringhis tenureasdean.
But he doesn't look at it that way. "Having gone through World War II, I was not overly impressed by the threat of violence by students who I thought were misguided. It was an unpleasant affair and dramatic," he adds. "But overall, I would say the most trying thing that happened to me and that would happen to any administrator was the great difficulty of trying to finance a first-rate operation like the UCLA law school in a position in which you have very little real power. It takes an enormous amount of patience to have to lead by persuasion and tohavetofinanceby supplication.
"An administrator in the University of California system has virtually no real power. You're constantly pleadingwiththe administrationforsupport and the administration is, in turn, pleading with the legislature and with the alumni.Your hat is always out; you're always pleading. I think that process of having very little actual power, but a great deal of responsibility, is one that requires a great deal of calm and patience and determination. There is so much to be done and you have to spend so much of your time marshallingresources."
Others who knew Warren well during his years as dean deeply admire his ability to possess and keep that calm during what obviously were trying times. Says Robert Jordan, Warren's co-author of 20 years and a close personal friend, "One of Bill's real strengths is that he is a very calm, tranquil person. He has a tremendous ability to consider issues in a dispassionate way, particularly issues that are emotionally charged. He gets people to calm down and look at things in anobjectiveway."
Adds Lillian Rader, Warren's secretary while dean and now retired, "Dean Warren, bless his heart, had sincerity, warmth, and patience. He had a magnificent ability to write beautifully phrased, heartwarming letters, even when, of necessity, he had to convey critical remarks or unhappy comments. He was never hurtful."
The reasons which Warren gives for his decision to return to teaching show not only his love for teaching and scholarship, but his belief in the contributions that different people can make to aschool.
Being dean is "an arduous job in whichyou work very long hours and do a lot of unpleasant things. One of the reasons you can't stay in the job too long is that when you're dean, one of the activities
"It's a delicate balance that we're facing and we're starting to make some adjustments. It strikes to theheartof the country's economic well-being."
you give up is scholarship. You really have no time for sustained scholarship. You can't even sit down and take two or three days at a time to really study something. The time just isn't there. Your time, as dean, is broken up into 10-minute segments. So if you've been in the deanship for a while, you tend to lose out on what's going on in your fields. After seven years, I'd really gotten pretty far behind. I spent thislast year working to catch up."
Returning toteachingafterbeingdeanis expected these days, Warren notes, citing some statistics he readwhich showedthatthe national average tenure for law school deans is less than five years." Deanshipsare short-term jobsthesedays. They are looked upon as temporary positions. In the old days, when you became a dean you were expected to die in the job. You had deans for 30 years. You never see that anymore."
Warren adds that it is a very good policy for a school to change deans. "One dean has one perspective and may do some things well and some things not well. And somebody else could come in and do some other things better. It's a healthy thing to changeleadership."
Since the leadership changed in June of 1982, Warren has spent his sabbatical year writing and catching up. A quick glance at his resume shows that indeed Warren has been busy. In just this one year,heandco-author Robert Jordanhavepublished Commercial Law, Commercial Law Commentary, Commercial Paper, and Secured Transactions in PersonalProperty.
Warrennotesthat this bibliography is somewhat misleading, since two of thefour books are derivativesofthe 1015 page casebook entitled Commercial Law.
He is proud of the book, adding that it was "a really big undertaking. Bob Jordan did more of the book than I did. But it was good for me," he adds, "because, as I have said, I was getting very far behind on my scholarship. So this was an opportunity to read all the new cases in the area. It was
really just about the best thing I could have done."
The books will be used in commercial law classes inlaw schools around the nation, Warren says.
The four books join a lengthy list of books, articles and other publications that span more than three pages on Professor Warren's curriculum vitae.
A prolific writer, Warren has covered a multitude of topics dealing with everything in the commercial law area from truth in lending to creditors' rights and secured transactions; from Mexican retail installment sales law toconsumer credit law; and from disclosure of finance charges to transfer of the oil and gas lessee's interest.
Noteworthy,also,areseveralstatutes which Warren was instrumental in writing and in some cases advocating in state legislatures around the country. These works include the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, the California amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code, the Federal Reserve Board regulations for the Truth in Lending and Fair Credit Billing
laws, and proposed revisions to laws affecting real estate contracts and trust deeds.
Warren points to the Uniform Consumer Credi! Code as themostimportantwork he has ever accomp· lished. Commissioned by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, a group dedicated to providing uniform laws for the states, WarrenandfellowUCLA law ProfessorJordandrafted the complex andcontroversial statute.
The law, whichthe draftsmen worked on from 1964 to 1974, established a set of protections for consumers entering into credit transactions." It regulates the rates that can be charged," Warren explains. "It ensures that consumers will get certain information. It protects them in cases in which they cannot pay and it limits the rights of creditors to take certain actionsagainstdefaulting consumers.
"It is a comprehensive act in which we tried to look at the whole spectrum of consumer credit," Warren says. "Of all the work that I have participated in, itis
the work thathas had the greatest impact."
Warren also has been a member of or consultant to otherboardsandcommissions,includingthe Consumer Advisory Committee of the Federal Reserve Board, the California RetailCreditCommission,the California Law Revision Commission on Creditors' Remedies, and the National Commission on Consumer Finance. He has served as a consultant to the Federal Reserve Board on truth in lending and to the California legislature on the Uniform Commercial Code.
In his role as a member and then chair of the ConsumerAdvisory Committee of the Federal Reserve Board, Warren gave the Fed advice on how to deal withanumberof consumer credit issues. The advisory committee "is a sounding board for the Fed on consumer protection issues. The Fed would ask us what we thought about things, and we would react to their questions.
"On a debtor-creditor board, there always are certainpeople representing debtors and certain people representing creditors. And then you have public members. For the public member slots, the policy is to find someone who doesn't work for either the debtor or the creditor organizations. Academics often fit the bill, although, quite frankly, I've always found that amusing because academics are really separated from the public."
Asked to explain the critical issues in commercial law today, Warren musters a response which could onlycome from the best of teachers:
"In the area of commercial, consumer, and bankruptcy law, society is struggling with some imperfections in the capitalist system. To buy real estate and personal property, people must utilize credit. And in order to repay large sums of money, the credit hasto be fairly long term.
"What we see going on in our economic system right now is a great deal of job dislocation, owing to foreign competition and to increasing obsolescence of skills.
'Tm wondering whether in our commercial, consumer and bankruptcy laws, if we are not seeing a period in which the courts and the legislatures are trying to accommodate a capitalist system, which does not guarantee people permanent employment, with a credit system in which an ordinary person must enter into a long-term credit arrangement to havethe good thingsof a capitalistic society.
"We have two conflicting trends. The two seem to be in collision with one another.
"When people lose their jobs, they are unable to make their payments. How do we accommodate that? The new bankruptcy code is an effort to deal with that; it allows debtors to get a so-called fresh start.
Some of the consumer protection statutes protect consumerswho are in defaultagainsta creditor.
"However, we must also realize that in this country, in a capitalistic society, no creditor has to extend credit. And we have to make the marketplace attractive for creditors. We must maintain the potential for sellers and lenders to make a profit or they will not be selling the good things in life on credit and loaning money to borrowers.
"It's a delicate balance that we're facing right now and we are starting to make some of the adjustments in the law," Warren adds. "But it's a balance not easily obtained. And it strikes to the heart of the country's economic well-being. You can't find an issueas important asthisveryoften."
In addition to grappling with the complexities of society'schangingeconomic conditions, Warren spends time jogging, listening to music, and reading. He calls himself "an obsessive jogger, one with no talent but great commitment."
Southern California's climate encourages jogging; it also enhances the cultural life that is important to Warren and his wife, Susan. He is as avid a fan of music as she isof art.
During his sabbatical year, he enjoyed getting back to recreationalreading. Heenjoysreadingbiographies, books on science, the law profession, and music. "And like so many men my age," Warren adds, "I love the John LeCarre novels."
The returned professor muses that he may spend the rest of his life doing what he is doing now. "I enjoy a great deal writing about the law, reading law, teaching law. When I was younger, I assumed older people tended to look back on their past to enjoy their accomplishments and to be sustained by them. Now that I'm 58, however, I find that that is just not true.
"Older people are just as focused on the future as younger people are. We don'tgetany more pleasure or pain out of thepastthanyoungfolks.
"One of the truths or revelations I have had is that nomatterhow old you get,yourfocus in on tomorrow. The tomorrow I see for myself is continuing to teach, continuing to write, and continuing to do some consulting work with lawyers. After all," Warren admits,"it'saverygood life."
And the goodness that he, in turns, brings to the world ofteachingdoes not go unappreciated. As Dean Susan Westerberg Prager observes, "Bill is one of the most dedicated and gifted teachers on the faculty. His return toteachingis an enormous benefit to students. Heteachescomplexandtechnicalsubjectsand makes them accessible to students. And he does so, in part," Prager adds, by being "a wonderful, kind, supportive person whoreally builds uponpeople'sstrengths."O
A Story You Helped to Write
nthesepages there is a remarkable story. It was written by more than 1,000 alumni and friends of the School of Law. The story's main themes focus on some human qualities which are universally admired and respected: loyalty to one's community, caringaboutotherpeople,concernfor the future.
The names of more than 1,000 graduates and friends who supported the law school in 1982-83 appear here. Each one made an invaluable and unique contribution to the total story; literally, without each gift the story would have been less remarkablethanitis.
The numbers alone speak for themselves. Contributions to the Dean's Fund in 1982-83 totaled $381,173. That's a healthy increase over the $312,000 which wasgivenoneyearearlier.
What these numbers mean, quite frankly, is that law alumni have provided very basic support for the faculty and the academic program-support
which indeed would have been lacking without the involvement of each person whose name appears here.
As the law school increases in national stature, other law schools increase their efforts to "raid" UCLA's faculty. The support of alumni has been vital in giving the faculty confidence that UCLA can remain a great law school.
Many of UCLA's faculty were targets for recruitment last year. A case in point is Professor Steve Yeazell; after being actively sought after by Yale, he chose to stay at UCLA. "In retrospect, it seemed to me a relatively straightforward decision," he says. "I realized that this is where I wanted to be. This law school is an extraordinary intellectual and human community. I could not have done the kind of work I have done over the last eight years without the advice, counsel, and support which my colleagues haveoffered.
"Beyondthat,though, like everyone else associated with the University of California, I have worried

about the level of support provided by the state," says Yeazell. "When I compared that level of support to what was available at Yale, one of the things that seemed encouraging to me is the growth in support which our alumni have offered the law school. It has gone from $30,000 only a few years ago to more than $375,000 this past year.
"The willingness of alumni to support the school seemsto me to bode well for the future."
His experience is multiplied many times over by the experiences of others on the faculty, who are aware and appreciative of the fact that alumni contributionsmakepossible everything from summer research stipends to word processing equipment which facilitates scholarly writing.
And for the more than 1,000 alumni and friends whose names appear here, what motivates their giving to the law school?
Again and again, they mention the first-rate legal education which UCLA gave them-and the responsibility to return some portion of its value back to the school.
That motivation, during the past year, prompted alumni leaders to establish a new support group, The Founders, which now has more than 150 members each committed to give at least $10,000 to

the school during the decade ahead.
Many alumni were motivated to take another step, that of joining the volunteer leadership of the Dean's Fund campaign.
One of them was Murray Kane '70, who participated in several phonathons, organized a network for contacts among his own class, and hosted a breakfast meeting at his home for all classmates. Making the outreach to others "is an interesting hurdle to cross," Kane says. "In the series of phonathons, I found that many alumni are wonderful in bridging that gap. It's something that anyone can do. As far as I'm concerned, I received the world's best legal education for practically nothing, and I owe the law school agreat deal."
Laurie Levenson '80, who also took part in the phonathons, started by calling members of her own class but eventually progressed to earlier years. "I think alumni from classes earlier than mine were excited to know that the young alumni have them in mind. And in my own class, I found that even people in a period of transition in their careers are willing to give."
For their willingness and their commitment, the law school is grateful to its alumni and friends.D

Alumni Day Honors Ralph J. Shapiro, William Rosenthal
The law school community honored alumnus Ralph J.Shapiro '58 and Judge William Rosenthal for their extraordinary achievements on behalf of the UCLA School of Law during the third annualAllAlumni Day and Barbecue on September 24.
The fall event rapidlyhas become a favorite occasionfor alumni, faculty, and friends of theschool-where in one afternoon theintellectual stimulation of seminars led byprominent scholars can be combined with relaxed mingling among graduates fromevery class in the law school's history.
A special awardto Judge Rosenthal, who as an assemblyman in the 1940s sponsored the legislation creating the UCLA School of Law·, gave a heightened historical perspective to this year's All AlumniDay.
Judge Norman L. Epstein '58, Congressman GlennAnderson (who had also sponsored thelegislation). and University RegentSheldon Andelson recalled how Rosenthal had persevered in getting thebill passed by a legislature thendominated by regional interests adverse to a law school in Southern California.
"Bill Rosenthal had the distinction of getting it done when it was done," said Epstein. "I am particularly honored to represent the Boardof Regents," said Andelson, whodescribed Rosenthalas "an early day role model as a humanist, who cared aboutpeople."And Anderson added:"Bill fought it through, and I'mpleased that 40 years later we are here to honor this man."
Kenneth I. Clayman '66, president of the Law Alumni Association, presented the Alumnusof the Year award to Ralph J. Shapiro '58. Clayman said that the selection committee, in considering various candidates for this year's award, had discovered that
"obviously,by acclamation, Ralph Shapirowas our Alumnus of the Year." Claymannoted that Shapiro's leadershipin supportof the law school isoneamongmanyaspectsof his community service.
"Educational opportunities opened the world to me," responded Shapiro inaccepting theaward. "We want to support this law school, and to make surethattheseopportunitiesare available to others in the future as they were availableto us."
At the beginning of the afternoon's seminarprograms,alumnus Willie Banks '83 explained the intricacies of thetriplejumpevent,inwhichhe holds the worldindoorrecord and the American outdoorrecord. Banks is a 1980 Olympian and a 1984 Olympics triplejump hopeful.
Professor Murray L. Schwartz analyzedcurrent economic developments
Judge William Rosenthal {upperleft} recalls his legislation creating the UCLA School of Law; seated near him is Kenneth I. Clayman '66, alumni president. RalphJ. Shapiro '58 (lowerleft} receives theAlumnus of the Year award. Professor Grace Ganz Blumberg (above} was among faculty who led seminars at the All Alumni Day.
in the profession. Among developments intended to reduce costs of legal services, he discussed the increased trend of non-lawyers doing legal work, the increase of legalassistants, and more reliance on alternative methods of dispute resolution such asarbitration and mediation. But these are offset, he said, by new forms of marketing and financing legal services, and byan increasedconsumerism wherein the general public sees more need for legal services. "I do have confidence that people with first-rate legal educations willcontinue to find rewarding careers," he said.
Adjunct Professor William J. Winslade '72 spoke on the insanity plea, the subject of a book he has published this year. Essentially, he said, the insanity defense is indefensible. It should be eliminated, and so should most psychiatric testimony, with universal adoption of the guilty but mentally ill plea and the separation of the guilt and penalty phases of a trial when the defendant pleads mental illness.
Professor Grace Ganz Blumberg analyzed the community property interest issue in a professional degree earned during marriage, raised by the Sullivanv. Sullivancase which she
argued before the California Supreme Court. [That casehad not been decided at press time.] Blumberg said that since the cost ofthe degree depletes communityassetsduring marriage, Mrs. Sullivan'sposition is valid.
Professor Philip R. Trimble used the Lebanon conflictas the focus for his discussion of lawand foreign policy. "The lesson I eventually get from the Lebanon situation," he said, "is that while there is nosubstitute for an active congress,at the same time the War Powers Resolution has failed generally,"sincecongressis likely to concur with thepresident in any emergencysituation.

For Lillian Rader, Even Retirement Sets New Standard
Four successive deans and generations oflaw students know that when Lillian Rader sets standards, she sets them high. The speech she gave at her ownretirementparty on June 7, 1983, was no exception.
She filled a roomful of well-wishers with laughter (anda few moist eyes) as she recalled her "20 lovely years on
campus" during the law school administrationsof Deans Richard Maxwell, Murray Schwartz, Bill Warren, and SusanPrager.
Retirement receptions, she said at the outset, always seem to be things which happen to someone else. And then, "before you know it-Poof!-here it is happeningto me."
She recalled Dean Maxwell's years as "not only productive. They were hilarious. Somehowwe found a lot to laugh about almost every day." Dean Schwartz set "a challenge of keeping pace with his extremely high standards, which I loved doing because they were my standards, too.
"And Dean Warren, bless his heart, showed sincerity, warmth, and patience-and amagnificent abilityto write beautifullyphrased, heartwarming letters, even when of necessity he hadto convey critical remarks or unhappy comments. He was neverhurtful."
DeanPrager, said Rader, "has something else, all her own. She is the right person in the right place at the right time. My experience with Susan has revealed a graciousness, a dignity, and an elegance which should and will serve as a modelfor the role'of women in today's new world."
At her own retirement party, as in her "20 lovely years on campus," it was clear from her well chosen words that Lillian Rader's main concern was beingsupportiveto others.
