UCLA Law School Professor Peter Arenella serves as expert for media in Rodney King beating case
By Karen Nikos
PEOPLE WERE CREEPING ON CROWDED FREEWAYS, taking their children to Little League games and congregating at favorite Friday night watering holes April 16. But something was different. There was a tension in the air in Los Angeles-and to some extent in all cities. Federal court jurors in the Rodney King beating case had given word that they would be returning to court at 7 a.m. the next day with an announcement.
The uncertainty of what the post-dawn announcement would bring sent reporters scrambling for expert legal opinions. When "Nighdine" called for UCLA law professor Peter Arenella, he was in the bathtub with his baby daughter.
"It was 7:30 my time, I0:30 east coast time," Arenella said, remembering the brief break in his almost comedic media interview schedule in the weeks leading up to the verdict. Arenella told Koppel what he thought. "And, Koppel said, 'Get here,"' Arenella recalled. "I had less than an hour."
By the time Arenella sped into ABC studios in Los Feliz, set workers had only seconds, he said, to dab on his makeup and seat him in front of cameras for the Koppel interview. And there, like countless recent appearances and interviews with "Today, " National Public Radio and with newspapers spanning the globe, the world became Arenella's classroom.
Koppel asked Arenella to speculate as to what was going to happen the next morning.
"I think it is highly unlikely that the jury will report back to the judge Saturday morning that they are unable to come to a unanimous verdict," Arenella told Koppel in the interview aired nationwide. "In such a case, th e judge would simply send the jury
back to renew their deliberations with an admonition that both the majority and dissenting perspectives reconsider their positions. I find it hard to believe that Judge (John) Davies would put Los Angeles through any unnecessary anxiety ... if all that was to occur was for the jury to be sent back.
"It's highly likely that verdicts will be announced tomorrow morning."
And Arenella was on air Saturday morning when his predictions turned out to be right, and ABC used him as their national legal expert that day on stations outside of the Los Angeles area.
Professor Arenella, who also had offered expertise during the McMartin preschool molestation trials a few years ago, appears as comfortable with a microphone in his face as he does with chalk in his h and He continues to lend his expertise to reporters covering the case of the thre e men charged with beating Reginald Denny at the flash point of the Los Angeles riots last year.
In both the state court trial for the four LAPD officers charged in the March 3, 1991 beating of motorist Rodney King, and the federal trial, Arenella offere d comment on rules of evidence, double jeopardy, and the fundamental differences between the state and federal cases. Balancing up to eight hours a day, sometimes in interviews between classes, he analyzed the distinctions in the trials as he followed the cases- from a legal perspective-for th e media.
Julian Eule, associate dean at the law school, praised Arenell a's ability to interpret legal issues for th e r eal world.
" It's extremely useful to have someone translate betwee n th e legal world and th e lay world," Eule said.
"Peter does a superb job of breaking down complex concepts to make them accessible to an audience." Arenella also brought the trial into the classroom, comparing issues studied in his criminal law class to those occurring in the courtrooms.
A .professor at UCLA since 1987, Arenella used the case, for example, to illustrate the notion that guilt or innocence frequently constitutes more than a question of facts because it requires a jury to apply community norms to facts jurors find, he said. "For example, what constitutes a reasonable use of force is not simply a question of fact,'~ Arenella said.
"I used the arguments over the racial composition of the jury to illustrate why we value a community surrogate to determine guilt-and why it is important that very different segments of the community that have competing conceptions of social reality should have an opportunity to serve on a jury."
Arenella said the fact that federal prosecutors had to prove that the four police officers charged in the beating intended to use excessive force illustrated the difficulty in proving criminal guilt in a case.
"Several students told me that the legal doctrines became far less academic when they saw them in the context of the King case," he said. Arenella perceived the King case as a vehicle for bringing criminal law into the classroom because students were familiar with the case.
He also brought Harland Braun, the attorney who represented LAPD Officer Theodore Briseno, who was acquitted of charges, into his criminal procedures class to discuss the case. Braun, a 1967 graduate, spoke not only about his legal strategies in the case, but showed students the value of defense counsel's role in a case.
Unable to monitor the case in person, Arenella phoned in several times daily to reporters stationed at the federal courthouse downtown to get up-to-theminute summaries of the testimony so he could respond to reporters' requests.
On that Saturday, after guilty verdicts for two of four officers were announced and the city remained calm, Arenella participated in national and local broadcasts.
Arenella said, even of the 3:30 and 4 a.m. interviews broadcast live for east coast morning shows, "It was fun. I enjoyed it."
Background in criminal law
Arenella, 45, a former Boston deputy public defender followed each day's events and kept tabs on issues in the federal trial: the pretrial decision to keep jurors anonymous; jury selection; admission of evidence; the enhancement of the videotape; and federal prosecutors' decision to call Rodney King to the stand.
Arenella accurately predicted in interviews that Rodney King's own testimony might make a difference. He said it could give jurors a chance to see Kirtg as a human being, instead of the depiction defense attorneys tried to convey.
"I thought (his testimony) would be very important to diffuse the notion that he was some horrible, crazed person who got what he deserved." Later interviews with jurors proved that notion correct.
Beyond current events, Arenella's work covers a broad range of topics. His scholarly articles address legal issues that include search and seizure law, the privilege against self-incrimination, grand jury practices, and criminal law defenses that raise questions about a defendant's moral responsibility for criminal acts.
State and federal courts-and the U.S. Supreme Court-have cited his work. Congressional committees have sought his advice and testimony concerning proposals to reform various federal criminal laws.
Arenella has explored various moral issues in the law, including the "battered woman" self defense issue and the question of moral culpability in cases involving educationally-handicapped defendants. His work in moral philosophy has received international recognition.
Arenella, a Harvard Law School graduate, practiced criminal law for several years before joining the law school faculty at Rutgers University. He taught at Rutgers, the University of Pennsylvania and Boston University-where he won Boston University's Metcalf Prize for excellence in teaching-before joining the UCLA law faculty in 1987. He teaches courses in criminal law and procedure, the adjudicatory process, mental health law and moral philosophy.
Professor Arenella is now working on an essay that examines the moral accountability of children and mentally-retarded adults who commit criminal acts.
UCLA grad balances King trial, teaching and family
By Karen Nikos
THE 2-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER of King beating trial analyst Laurie Levenson was wearing a "Barney'' T-shirt when a visitor to her home asked who her favorite TV character was.
"Without missing a beat," Levenson recalled, "She said, 'Mommy is."'
Levenson, 36, and a mother of two young children, said she was not surprised to learn that her daughter, Hava, viewed her as a television figure much like the toddler's favorite television dinosaur. That's because, for many weeks, television is where Hava and her 4-year-old brother, Solomon, saw their mother.
"I am home today," Levenson said during an interview one April morning. ''And, they're wondering what's going on, who is this person?"
Throughout the federal trial of the four officers charged with beating Rodney King after a car chase in the San Fernando Valley two years ago, Levenson, who graduated from UCLA law school in 1980, frequently was seen on television and heard on radio giving her comments on each day's events. Levenson, secured by National Public Radio as their official legal commentator on the case, spent almost every day of the trial in the Edward R. Roybal federal building waiting in line for coveted open seats in the courtroom.
Her two months spent as spectator and analyst at the trial took their toll-her days often went from 2 a.m. to II p.m., she said.
A typical day, she said, often included an interview on "Good Morning, America," or "Today'' at 4:30 or 5 a.m. for live broadcasts to New York.
"I'd prepare my classes from 5 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock. Then I'd take the kids to school," she said. "Then, I'd sit through the trial until my classes in the afternoon."
"For eight weeks, that's all I did."
Outside during lunch breaks, and before and after court sessions, the former prosecutor for the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney's office often was seen surrounded by reporters giving a legal analysis of the day's testimony or pending motion. Her commentary-which she admits often leans toward the prosecution-offered a balance to the defense musings on the courthouse steps. Federal prosecutors, following usual policy, offered no comment on the case outside of court.
LEAD PROSECUTOR, STATE CASE
Deputy District Attorney Terry L. White, the lead prosecutor in the state t r ial in Simi Valley that ended in acquittals of all four officers, said the Rodney King beating case illustrates the difficulty in trying police for wrongdoing.
" Policemen are friends; they help people," said White, who graduated from the law school in 1983 "People don't want ro find them guilty."
White was criticized in some circles for the prosecution's failure to call Rodney King to the witness stand- a move he defends as being appropriate given that the case was before a jury in conservative Simi Valley "Given what I knew about the case , it was the right decision at the time," he said. "I always thought they all would get convicted. The videotape was just so powerful."
UCLA School of Law Professor Peter Arenella agrees. "I rook pains to defend Terry White's judgment not to call King. Given who the jury was-a Simi Valley jury, it was a sound decision," Arenella said
White, who works in the district attorney's Special Investigations Division-handling cases against police and other public officials-said it is always difficult , in foresight or hindsight, to determine what influences jurors He said he thinks the FBI's tireless investigation in the federal case may have been more important to the outcome than federal prosecutors' decision to call King as a witness. He said there was relief after the federal case that the ordeal was finally over, for him and the city as a whole But, he said, the final verdicts do not change what already had been lost as a result of the unrest following the first verdicts. "I don't know how anyone co uld be pleased with the outcome," he said. People lost their lives " •:•
U CLA alum Laurie Leven son co mmen rs to re porters o utside the federal courrhouse during rhe trial of four LAPD officers last spring.
THE FEDERAL JUDGE
U.S District Judge John G Davies, who graduated from UCLA School of Law in 1959, presided over the criminal civil rights trial of the four officers charged with beating Rodney King.
Davies also is assigned to the civil case in which King is suing the city and the officers for damages. He is scheduled on Aug. 4 to sentence the rwo officers who were convicted. Under federal sentencing guidelines, each of the officers-Laurence Powell and Stacey C. Koon-faces a base term of 37 to 46 months in federal prison
In some of the most important evidentiary decisions made during the trial, Davies prevented prosecutors from introducing evidence that Koon previously had lied about using force against another suspect. He also blocked government attorneys from discussing a manuscript written by Koon in which prosecutors had claimed Koon used racial slurs to describe the officers' encounter with King.
Davies also ruled in favorof prosecutors on a separate, crucial bit of evidence in allowing the videotaped testimony of Officer Theodore Briseno from last year's state trial. In that taped testimony, Briseno said King did not appear to be resisting arrest. Briseno was acquitted in the federal case along with former Officer Timothy Wind. -
Levenson's analysis, and that of other legal experts, was sought primarily by electronic media deprived of the usual gavel-to-gavel coverage in federal court. In the federal system, traditional decorum allows no televised or live radio broadcasts from the courtroom, unlike the state court trial carried live last year from Simi Valley.
Professor Levenson said she did not attend the trial to get on television, however.
"It's a legally important case," she said.
And, she said, she felt a since of duty to give the prosecution as well as the defense side of the case to the public through the media. Her prosecution comments brought jibes from fellow UCLA law school alumnus Harland Braun, a vocal critic of the prosecutors. Braun represented LAPD Officer Theodore Briseno, who was acquitted in the case.
"We kept teasing each other at the courthouse-he kept calling me the prosecution hack," Levenson said about Braun, laughing.
Ironically, when Braun's out of court comments caused U.S. District Judge John G. Davies to slap a gag order on him, Levenson's husband-Douglas Mirell, a prominent Los Angeles attorney-was among the team of lawyers who defended Braun's freedom of speech rights. After the trial, Braun spoke to one of Levenson's criminal law classes at Loyola. "We've buried our differences," she quipped.
Levenson said she felt proud to be part of the UCLA group involved in the high-profile case. Besides Braun and UCLA Professor Peter Arenella, who also served as an analyst for the media, Judge Davies is a 1959 graduate of UCLA School of Law. Terry White, the lead prosecutor in the state court case, and the judge in that caseStanley Weisberg-also hold UCLA law degrees. -
"It's not that surprising, really. UCLA people are always at the forefront of important public policy," Levenson said.
Arenella, who played a slightly less visible role than Levenson, gave Levenson high praise.
"I don't know how she did it-she spent a lot of time on the case," said Arenella.
"For someone who doesn't do this kind of work, it's not easy to make a point succinctly that is also immediately understandable," he said. "I think Laurie is very gifted at getting a point across in a succinct sound bite."
The King case was not the first high-profile case Levenson observed, she said.
Showing an early interest in law as an undergraduate at Stanford University, she slept outside the San Francisco courthouse during her junior year so she would be assured of a seat when newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst took the stand in her bank robbery trial.
Later, Levenson went on to law school, serving as the chief article editor for UCLA Law Review. After graduating, she held a prestigious clerkship with Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Judge James Hunter III. She went on to the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney's office, where she worked in the Major Frauds and Major Crimes units; and headed up both the criminal appeals and training sections of the federal prosecutor's office during her six-year tenure.
During that time she tried just about every kind of case-from major frauds to murder. But, sitting in on the trial of the four officers was a unique experience, she said.
"Usually, when I'm in trial every day I am trying the case, not acting as spectator," she said. "It was different-it gave me a chance to reflect on the interaction between attorneys and the decisions being made. It's an altogether different legal perspective."
"I feel like I gave a balanced account-and I was happy to do it."

HARLAND BRAUN, DEFENSE ATTORNEY
Defending Officer Theodore Briseno in the King beating trial, Harland Braun elected not co call witnesses in Briseno's defense. "Sometimes, less is more," he cold UCLA law students in a class a few weeks after the trial chat ended in Briseno's acquittal.
"I once said partway through the trial, 'we've survived the prosecution; the question is, can we survive the defense "'
Braun also cold students that he had, before the first trial in Simi Valley, believed the beating was racial, and did not wish co defend any of the officers. Later, as he met Briseno and became more familiar with the case, he believed it was right co defend Briseno , and represented him in the federal case
"Ted was different; I believed he had a good case "
"It's cough," Braun said, answering questions ofstudents who asked how he decides if he is going co represent a client, especially one whom he feels is guilty.
"I don't like child molestation cases," said Braun, a 1967 UCLA law school graduate who was a prosecutor in the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office from 1968 until 1973. "You've got co feel comfortable with your client."
Braun has a varied criminal law background that includes the prosecution of five members of the Charles Manson "family" in the 1970s. Later, as a private attorney, he represented doctors, prosecutors and elected officials in criminal cases against them.

Events
Law School's 42nd Commencement c alls for world improvements
"wE ALL CAME TO LAW SCHOOL for different reasons," graduating student Michael Elliot Reisz told the commencement audience on May 23. But, he said, all students at UCLA School of Law h ad a common reason for coming to law school: "To enhance our lives and make them b etter."
Reisz, whose father, Willard, was in UCLA law's second graduating class in 1953, called for students in his graduation address to use law to improve their own lives and the lives of others by practicing law-or using their law degrees in other ways-to pursue a career they love. "Life is far too short not to be passionate," he said.
Reisz's comments echoed the themes of the speaker who preceded him, Shanetta Yarborough Brown, who urged graduates to maintain self respect, determination and independence. "Do not forego who you are and what you stand for," she said.
Keynote speaker Gloria Allred then called for graduates to use their degrees to make the wo rld a better place and themselves better people In cool spring breezes and under rain- threatening clouds that sent commencement attendees clutching for warm mugs of coffee and hot chocolate, the feminist attorney challenged the approximately 300 graduates to take on pro-bono cases for causes in which they believe, and to help end racial divisiveness and sexism
"There are so many opportunities to do good for p eople who so d esperately need your help," Allred told graduates. "Will you be too busy? Will you say-I'll do it later?"
And , above all, she urged: "Stay idealistic. "
G loria Allred, known mostly for her defense of women in cases involving gender discrimination , urged UCLA School of Law graduates to stay idealistic in their career pursuits.

John Stauffer courtroom dedicated
A COURTROOM IN THE law school's clinical wing was recently dedicated to the late John Stauffer in recognition of the Stauffer Trust's $500,000 gift to help expand the law library.
U.S. District Judge Lourdes Baird, a 1976 law school graduate and alum of the clinical program, presided over a student mock trial in Professor Moore's Trial Advocacy Class held as a part of the dedication event.
Before an audience of students, faculty, staff and school administrators-as well as Michael Whalen, a Stauffer trustee, and other donors-Dean Susan Prager dedicated the evening to the memory of Richard Kimbrough, a Stauffer trustee and respected lawyer who recently died. Noting that Kimbrough had worked closely with UCLA's first Law Librarian, Tom Dabagh, Kimbrough "not only encouraged us to go forward with our proposal, but guided us along the way."
Prager thanked the students and Professor Moore for providing an academic setting for the dedication, noting that she was sure they were experiencing enough pressures without the added audience.
She also pointed to Baird's accomplishments and the influence of UCLA's clinical program on her development.

Four honored with public interest awards
BERNIDA REAGAN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR at the Berkeley Community Law Center, told students, faculty and other attorneys interested in public interest work to "keep doing the same thing" as she accepted the alumnus award for public interest law last spring.
Reagan, the former director of the South Central Los Angeles Office of Legal Aid; two students and Professor Lucie White all received awards for public interest work and commitment to the community at the fourth annual Public Interest Awards Ceremony April 15 at the School of Law.
Each of the student award recipients received a $500 stipend funded by Morrison & Foerster. Additionally, 54 students and 19 faculty members received certificates recognizing their contribution of more than 35 hours of pro bono legal work during the year. The ceremony was hosted by Professor Leon Letwin, chairman of the law school's public interest committee.
The Joseph H. Duff Award for a second year law student went to Patricia Amador, who was commended for her work for San Diego Legal Aid, school committees, and other public interest service. The award is named for Duff, class of ' 71, who is the president of the Los Angeles Chapter of the NAACP, and legal counsel to Charles Drew Medical Center.
The Nancy Mintie Award, recognizing public interest contributions of a third year law student, was presented to Jeff Galvin. Galvin is the founder of the Pro Bono Society and a board member for El Centro Legal .
Mintie had founded the Inner City Law Center immediately after graduating from law school in 1979. The center litigates on behalf of the homeless in Skid Row on issues including employment discrimination, public benefits and shelter conditions.
The Fredric P. Sutherland Award recognizing public service contributions of faculty went to White, who accepted the award while holding her newborn daughter in her arms. White was recognized for her classes addressing public interest issues. Sutherland, class of'64, was killed in a car accident in July 1991. He was the president of the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund.
The Antonia Hernandez Award for alumni contributions to social justice went to Reagan, who currently is the executive director of the Berkeley Community Law Center, a legal services organization founded by Boalt Hall law students. Reagan graduated from UCLA School of Law in 1979.
Hernandez, a 1974 graduate of the law school, is the former executive director for the Lincoln Heights Office of Legal Aid and currently is the president of Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF).
This year, UCLA's Public Interest Law Foundation selection committee chose 17 students to receive summer fellowships at public interest entities throughout the country. Funding for the fellowships comes primarily from students who contribute a portion of their summer earnings to the PILF program.
UCLA BEGINS LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM FOR PUBLIC INTEREST WORK
Unwieldy student loan debts no longer deter public interest careers for at least a few UCLA Law graduates. Members ofthe class of 1992 and later will benefit under a loan forgiveness program implemented this spring at the law school.
Funded solely by contributions, the UQA Loan Assistance Program will make about $6,000 in interest-free loans available in 1994 to a few eligible UCLAW graduates to help repay student loans, said Dean Susan Prager, who announced the loan program at the annual Public Interest Awards ceremony April 15. The amount of assistance will be limited by the funds available for distribution each year, with the neediest applicants having priority for assistance.
Assistance amounts to individuals will vary depending on the applicant's income and on total education loans To qualify, applicants must meet employment, income and net worth standards. A graduate working in Los Angeles cannot have gross income exceeding $38,000 in 1994, although income requirements vary based on living costs in different areas.
Applicants must engage in full-time, law-related work for a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization or a government agency, although the committee supervising the program has authority to waive the fulltime requirement in special cases. Law school teaching and judicial clerkships are not qualifying employment, although applicants going directly from judicial clerkships to public interest work can include the clerkship time in calculating their eligibility for loan forgiveness.
The initial application for assistance must be made within three years of graduation,
and all applicants must reapply each year for assistance. Those who leave public interest work in less than six years will have all loans extended by the program forg iven. According to Professor Alison Anderson, who chaired the committee of students, fu.culty and staff which drafted the program, "We are beginning with a modest program, but we expect that two students from each class who would not otherwise be able to afford to take a public interest job will be able to do so. We think that's significant. "
The Loan Assistance Program will be administered through UCLA Law School under the supervision of a committee of students, fu.cultyand staff Questions about the program should be directed to Assistant Dean of Students Barbara Varat or Professor Anderson:
The loan program, planned for several years, largely was made possible by UCLA law school alumnus Stewart Resnick, class of1962. Resnick proposed a challenge grant whereby he would match funds for public interestworkraised fromsrudents. In 199091, the Public Interest Law Foundation (PILF) student- funded fellowship drive raised more than $30,000. Halfof Resnick's matching funds went to fund PILF fellowships while the remaining $15,400 went toward loan repayment. During the past year, the organization raised about $40,000. To augment this seed money, alumni will now be able to designate "public interest programs" in their giving. Ideally, Prager said, she would like to create an endowment for loan forgiveness, ensuring permanent support.

Law grads honored at UCLA Alumni Awards ceremony
LOS ANGELES MUNICIPAL JUDGE AND GAY activist Rand Schrader and U.S. District Judge Lourdes Baird were honored at the 48th annual UCLA Alumni Awards for Excellence Ceremony at Royce Hall June 12. A current law student, Jeffrey Galvin, was given an Outstanding Graduate Student Award.
Schrader, a 1969 graduate of UCLA and a 1972 graduate of the law school, was not present for the ceremony because he was chronically ill from AIDS. He tragically died from complications of the virus the next day. Schrader's companion, David Bohnett, accepted the award for him at the ceremony, and said that he, other friends and Schrader's mother, Hildy Lustig, had presented the award at his bedside that afternoon. Schrader, 48, was given a Special Recognition Award for his leadership in the gay and lesbian community and his efforts to encourage a compassionate governmental response to the AIDS crisis.
Wrote one alum in nominating Schrader for the award: "Rand Schrader epitomizes the values of civility, community, integrity and intellect which UCLA strives to implant in all its students."
After graduating from the UCLA School of Law, Schrader became Los Angeles' first openly gay assistant city attorney. Gov. Jerry Brown appointed him to the bench in Los Angeles in 1980.
Judge Schrader helped to establish the Municipal Elections Committee of Los Angeles. In 1983, his efforts in collaboration with the late UC Regent Sheldon Andelsen led to amendment of the University of California non-discrimination policy to prohibit denial of admission to UC on the basis of sexual orientation. He also was instrumental in the construction of the $7-million Los An~s Gay and Lesbian Community Services Center, which opened in November 1992.
Schrader was an active member and former chairman of the Los Angeles County Commission on AIDS, and he played a key role in establishing the Los Angeles AIDS Task Force.
He also helped garner support for a 24,000square-foot, three-story outpatient building adjacent Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center as well as the first 20-bed public hospital ward for AIDS patients.
Baird, who graduated from the law school in 1973 as a 41-year-old mother of three, received a Professional Achievement Award. A native of Ecuador, Baird is considered a role model for Latinas and all women. In 1991, she received the Woman of Achievement Award from the Hispanic Women's Council.
Baird spent six years in the U.S. Attorney's office, advancing to assistant chief in the criminal division. She went into private practice and became an advocate for the appointment of women and minorities to the judicial bench. She became a Los Angeles Municipal Court judge in 1986 and a judge of the Superior Court two years later. President Bush then named her as U.S . attorney for the Central District of California in 1990, and to the federal district judgeship in 1992.
Baird, who frequently returns to the law school for various activities and alumni events, is a former president of the UCLA Law Alumni Association, and was honored as Law Alumnus of the Year in 1990.
Galvin won one of three Distinguished Graduate Student Awards for his extraordinary leadership in setting up the law school's Give 35 program. Under chat program, law students volunteer to give 35 hours of pro bono work a year. Galvin, who graduated cum laude from Harvard in 1988 with a bachelor's degree in history, also has been active in the law school's Moot Court program. In that program, which offers no academic credit, students voluntarily develop skills briefing and arguing appellate cases. Galvin, before graduating in May, was a member of the Moot Court Executive Board and was selected to the Moot Court National Team. The team advanced to the fall 1992 quarter finals of the national competition.
In all, more than 20 UCLA graduates were honored at the ceremony.

UCLA offers symposia for MCLE credit
UCLA LAW SCHOOL IS COMMITTED to offering a number of high-level MCLE (minimum continuing legal education) programs on important contemporary practice issues. The next MCLE program will feature a review of important constitutional law developments occurring during the U.S. Supreme Court's 1992-1993 term. This one-day program on Oct. 2 at Schoenberg Hall will be taught entirely by UCLA Law faculty.
Professor Peter Arenella will lead off the Supreme Court Review with a roundup of criminal law and procedure developments during the recent term. Associate Dean Julian Eule will follow with an update of constitutional developments in civil areas including the first amendment, due process and equal protection.
The constitutional law program will qualify for MCLE (Minimum Continuing Legal Education) credit.
Audio tap es from some past symposia, such as those on bankruptcy and entertainment law offered earlier this year, still are available for purchase. They can be ordered by calling the law school at (310) 825-2890.
At the bankruptcy and business symposium in April, about 150 notable bankruptcy attorneys, professors , investment bankers and accountants gathered on campus to discuss current bankruptcy law issues.
Attendees had an opportunity to obtain broader knowledge at panel discussions on such topics as "Chapter II operating and administrative issues," and "Formulating and soliciting acceptance of the Chapter II plan." Speakers included Professor Kenneth N. Klee, who has taught a Chapter II course at the law school for many years.
· "We felt this was very successful," Michael Asimow, associate dean of the law school and an organizer of the symposium, said about the weekend program. " We hope this is something people will plan to go each year it is offered. "
In panels led by prominent figures in bankruptcy law, banking and accounting profess ionals-as well as professors- attendees dis cussed issues involving bankruptcy litigation. Problem-solving workshops facilitated further discussions.
Earlier in the year, the 17th annual Entertainment Symposium drew 550 movie and television industry experts.
The symposium, entitled, " Hollyworld," was presented in January by the UCLA School of Law and the UCLA Entertainment Symposium Advisory Committee. The growing international financial and creative participatio n in the U.S. motion picture and television industry was examin ed in panel discussions led by senior executives and leading attorneys from the international legal and en tertain ment communities.

THE COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY in May moved into its second hour when Professor Samuel Thompson Jr. took the podium. He called the graduates, "Team UCLA Law," and told them he was their football coach. He disguised inspirational tips for lawyering in coaching terms.
The class of 1993's choice for Professor of the Year, it seems, was not prepared to wax poetic as the last of a series of speakers at commencement. Nor did he open a Thesaurus of Quotations and begin reciting musings of his favorite philosophers. Instead, he likened his graduation address to that of a coach talking to a team at the end of a training camp before the team plays the big game.
"Like all coaches, I am not going to dwell on past successes," the avid football fan and former collegiate athlete told the graduates. "While each of you deserves congratulations for having completed training camp, our focus here today is on the following ten points we need to win the big game."
Forcing members of the audience to sit up and take notice, Thompson illustrated in his speech some of the same, magical methods students say he uses to keep their attention on arguably one of the grandest yawners of all law school subjects-tax law.
Said one student, summing up Thompson's talents, "He makes learning... exciting. Rememberwe are talking about taxes."
Thompson said he was inspired to pursue tax law by a professor who made the subject interesting for him. He hopes to inspire a similar interest in his students.
His teaching methods, he said, are basic "Just be yourself, be relaxed with the students, that's all."
Thompson, who has taught at UCLA School of Law since 1990- when a persistent Dean Susan
Westerberg Prager finally convinced him to forego the Chicago winters-brings to teaching varied experience.
He graduated from West Chester University in Pennsylvania in 1965, where he played football and was one of the organizers of the first campus chapter of the NAACP. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the US Marine Corps. He started law school at University of Pennsylvania, but after one year, was called to active duty in the Marine Corps. He served until 1969, attaining the rank of captain at age 23 and receiving the Navy Commendation Medal with Combat V for service in Vietnam. Before returning to Penn Law School in September 1969, he completed his master's degree in Business and Applied Economics at Penn's Wharton School.
He graduated from Penn Law School in 1971, beginning practice in the tax department of Davis, Polk and Wardwell in New York, N.Y. while completing his master's degree in Tax Law at New York University School of Law. In 1973, be became an assistant professor at Northwestern University School of Law.
He returned to Davis , Polk in 1975, and the next year became an attorney advisor in the prestigious Office of the Tax Legislative Counsel in the U.S. Treasury Department. While at Treasury, Th ompson also worked in the Office of the International Tax Counsel. His Treasury work involved a variety of legislative and regulatory matters dealing with corporate transactions , international issues and tax treaties.
In 19 77, h e was appointed full professor at University of Virginia School of Law, where he taught courses in federal income taxation and authored a casebook, Federal Incom e Taxa tion ofDomestic and Foreign. Business Transactions.
While at Virginia, Thompson also served on the Advisory Committee on Tax Legislation of the Tax Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.
In 1981, Thompson returned to practice, heading the Tax Department at Chicago's Schiff, Hardin & Waite, advising both corporate and individual clients on a range of federal income tax issues. During 1983 and 1984, he represented a major financial institution in a successful legislative effort to amend the Internal Revenue Code to reform the taxation of options. In that connection, he testified before the House Ways and Means Committee.
During his tenure at Schiff Hardin, Thompson combined his demanding practice with teaching as an adjunct professor at the law schools at Penn, University of Chicago, Northwestern and ITT Chicago Kent where he directed the Graduate Tax Program.
During the summer of 1986, he served on the faculty of the Salzburg Seminar in American Law in Salzburg, Austria. In 1989, he co-authored a threevolume treatise, Federal Taxation ofBusiness Enterprises.
Thompson, 49, has just completed a policyoriented book, Reform ofthe Taxation ofMergers, Acquisitions, and LB Os which is being published this month by Carolina Academic Press . Thompson said his opinions , which are discussed in the book, run contrary to some of the proposals being put forward by the American Law Institute (ALI).
Under Thompson's proposal , tax-free treatment would be available in an acquisition transaction only if 80 p ercent of the consideration paid by the acquiring corporation for the t arget corporation was stock.
"Under the ALI proposal, however, an acquiring corporation could pay 99 percent cash and one p ercent stock in exchange for the target stock. The shareholders who swap their stock for the one p ercen t stock w ould get tax-free treatment under the ALI p lan," h e said.
Thompson, in hopes of influencing change in the tax laws, said he sent galleys of his book to the Joint Committee on Taxation for the House and Senate "Whether, in fact, my arguments will influence the Congress, I don't know, but I am ce r tainly going to make an effort," he said.
In May, Thompson sent to the publisher his casebook, Basic Federal Income Taxation ofC Corporations, Partnerships, and S Corporations, scheduled to be published in early 1994 by West Publishing Co. Thompson is the faculty advisor to UCLA students publishing a special issue of the Black Law journal devoted to topics in business law that are particularly relevant to minority communities, such as enterprise zones and financing sources for the committee, RLA (formerly Rebuild LA), formed after last year's civil unrest.
He serves on the Los Angeles County Bar Association Ad Hoc Disaster Relief Committee for Rebuilding LA, the Corporate Integration Task Force of the American Bar Association Section on Taxation and the Board of Trustees of the American Tax Policy Institute Last December, Thompson se rved on the Clinton Administration's transition team.
"I have been so busy writing and teaching, " Thompson said, "that it's hard to miss practice. " But he says, "Sometimes I miss being on the firing line of practice."
He says he was committed to life in private practice in the 1980s, when Dean Prager repeatedly tried to recruit him to teach at UCLA. The two had met when serving on the Executive Committee of the American Association of Law Schools. But in 1988, Thompson had been thinking about returning to teaching when he got the call from Prager.
Prager remembers, in one of her recruitment efforts , having dinner with Thompson in Chicago one winter evening. "I had just finished the short version of my 'Los Angeles has everything' sp eech, when Sam looked at me rather sheepishly and said, ' Well, Susan, I don't really care about those thingswhat I like is good football- and Los Angeles has that."'
Professor Thompson has similar memor ies
"I h ad wanted to go back to teach in g, and UCLA is a great school ," T hompson said. ''And, LA h as m y culture-football. "
Prager ste pped up her recruitment efforts in 1988, offering him tickets to the U CLA and USC gam e, at the Rose Bowl, in the Chan cellor's box. Th o mpson said t h e offer w as so app eal ing, h e h eaded west for a visit.
"At this point ," he said, "she had me. "
Kenneth Karst is Faculty Research Lecturer
PROFESSOR KENNETH L. KARST TOLD a university-wide audience last spring that politicians recently have run head on into constitutional issues in their efforts to· preserve their careers. "Faiths, Flags and Family Values: The Constitution of the Theater State," drew a standing ovation from the more than 400 faculty, staff and students who attended the 74th Faculty Research Lecture in April.
Karst was the second law school professor in the history of the lecture to be chosen by UCLA's academic senate. Professor David Mellinkoff delivered the lecture in 1983. Last March, Richard Turco, professor of atmospheric sciences, delivered a lecture on the threat of depletion of the ozone layer.
In his talk, drawn from a book expected to be _ in print by winter, Karst-a constit utional law expertcited former President Bush's call for a constitutional amendment to change the laws governing flag burnings as one element of the "theater state." After a series of go-rounds on Capitol Hill on the subject of flag burnings, a majority on the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately found that a law Congress passed prohibiting flag desecration was unconstitutional. Karst suggested that a succinct judicial opinion on the issue might have read: "The only real purpose in enacting this law was to dramatize some politicians' devotion to the flag. Sending peopl~ to jail for political expression is a serious business, and we are unwilling to do that just to allow the Congress and the president to take a curtain call."
Karst also addressed the theme of "family values" as an agenda for legislation.
"Although the family values theme invites listeners to look back to an imaginary age of innocence, the way it mobilizes people is to persuade them to look ahead with apprehension," Karst said in his speech.
"From abortion rights to gay rights, the social issues agenda for family values evokes fear that the gender line will erode unless it is defended by law. This is a powerful mixture of religion, sex and politics."
A form ofKarst's lecture also is scheduled to appear in UCLA Law Review in October. Karst's book is a continuation of work that appeared in his earlier book, Belonging to America: Equal Citizenship and the Constitution, published in 1989. In that book, he documents how American law has responded to dual impulses in society-validating a commitment to the idea of equality, yet serving as an instrument for stigmatizing and subordinating groups of people. The 1989 book examines constitutional equality as applied to the lives of real people seeking equality under the law
The heart of the next book, whose working title is Clashing Symbols: Law, the Social Issues, and the Politics ofExclusion, considers the social issues agenda for law in the fields of race, gender and religion.
In awarding the Faculty Research Lectureship to Karst, the Academic Senate said, "In addition to being an outstanding teacher, as a citizen, his thoughtful and passionate study of constitutional questions has contributed greatly to the shaping of a more inclusive society."

Bauman is selected for Rutter Award
LONGTIME UCLA LAW school professor and "god of Remedies" John Bauman was selected this year's Rutter Award winner.
Bauman, who joined the faculty in 1959, was honored, said Dean Susan Westerberg Prager, for his sense of humor and his ability to turn what could be a dry subject into an interesting and challenging course.
Bauman has taught courses in Conflict of Laws, Civil Procedure and-of course-Remedies. His mastery of the subjects have earned him the respect and admiration of students throughout the years.
"He is the god of Remedies," wrote one student. " His humor is water on the parched soil of legal wit," enthused another. Students frequentl y have likened Bauman's demeanor and wit in class to that of comedian Jack Benny.
Bill Rutter, who presented the award to Bauman at a ceremony in April, established the award in 1979 to recognize effectiveness, dedication and creativity in teaching. Rutter is the fa ther of the G ilbert Outline, creator of the leading bar review course in the state and the founder of the Rutter Group.

Professor Emeritus
Rollin M.
Perkins dead at 104
ROLLIN M. PERKINS, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL UCLA law school professors and noted authority on criminal law, died during the celebration of his I04th birthday in Los Angeles last March.
Perkins taught at UCLA law School from 1949 to 1957, after having taught at University oflowa, Stanford and Vanderbilt University schools of law. After "retirement" Perkins taught at Hastings College of Law-his teaching career spanning 59 years from 1916 to 1975. Perkins attended UCLA School of Law's 40th anniversary celebration in 1991.
Perkins' grandson, Woody Perkins, said the family omitted hymns from their grandfather's memorial service so that they could play music recorded off some old, cherished records belonging to him. Woody Perkins said the family proceeded with this bit of nostalgia even though their grandfatheralways the legal scholar-earlier had chastised Woody, saying he was infringing on a copyright by taping the records.
Woody Perkins said his grandfather had scolded him, saying, "'You can't do it. It's prohibited."'
Rollin Perkins retired from teaching in 1986, and moved to Davenport, Iowa, said family members.
He published the first edition of a law school standard text, Perkins on Criminal Law, in 1957. The latest edition is still in print. His other writings include, Iowa Cases on Criminal Procedure, Elements ofPolice Science, Police Examination,, and Cases on Criminal Law and Procedure. Woody Perkins has presented to the law school a book annotated with his grandfather's notes that the professor had used to teach students at UCLA in the 1950s.
An avid golfer, he birdied the 18th hole at his favorite Iowa golf course at age 96. He served as 2nd lieutenant in the Army during World War I, and was commander of the Johnson County Iowa Citizens Defense Corps during World War II. He had been a member of the American Bar Association since 1926.
Perkins is survived by his brother, Lucius Perkins, of Los Angeles; two daughters, Helen Van Epps and Clara Beck, both of Phoenix, Ariz.; 12 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. His wife, Florence, died in San Francisco in 1971. His son, Rollin Perkins II, died in 1988.
