CRIMINALLAW

AT THELAW

SCHOOL

Once an area of practice disdained by many, the criminal lawhas undergone a distinct chano'e in its priority of attention.Increasingly, judges in positions of leadership-mostrecently Chief Justice Burger-have called attention to theimportance of the criminal process and the dire need forimprovement. These changes have been reflected in thecurricular position of criminal law at the tanford LawSchool.

Thirty years ago there was one criminal law course in thecurriculum of the chool. At that time the course emphasizedtraditional definitions of crimes and analysis of commonlaw judicial opinions. Ten years later, in 1949-50, the coursedescription for riminallaw revealed the beginnings of aprobing into the backaround of a crime and theproblems of law enforcement.

A seminar for second and third-year students was offeredin 1954-55 in which problems of procedure andadministration were emphasized. Each student was expectedto do intensive research on a specific topic in criminal lawand present the results for group criticism and evaluation.

Three years later another criminal law seminar wasintroduced at the choo!. This one gave primary emphasis tothe substantive issues suggested by the draft of theAmerican La\tv Institute's Model Penal Code. ince then newseminars and advanced courses in criminal law havebeen added steadily to the curriculum.

In 1964-65, followina a full faculty study of the curriculum,criminal law was returned to the first-year study program.An excerpt from Professor Herbert L. Packer's memo ofJanuary 22, 1965 about the basic criminal law course stated:

... I have thought it necessary, because of limitations of time,to make a choice between a substantive and a procedural­administrative approach to the subject and have opted forthe former. My reason ... is that the substantive problems­what conduct should be treated as criminal and what should bedone with people who commit crimes-are anterior to theproblems that arise in the operation of a system forapprehending, screening, and trying persons accused of crime.. . . It [the basic criminal law course] is in many ways the idealintroduction to the aspect of law that we loosely refer to as"public", ... also presents a clearcut example of a corner of thelaw largely dominated by legislation, ... [and] has the furthervirtue of dealing with raw material that is familiar but dealingwith it according to modes of thought with which the studentis unfamiliar-a highly desirable combination for beginningthe transition.

Practical aspects of training in criminal law are also offeredto Stanford law students. Well over one hundred LegalAid Society student members help local attorneys in thepeninsula area to extend legal services to a broader base ofthe population and to supplement the classroom education ofthe students. Among the Society's programs, there are

five in criminal law onne ted with the an atea and antaClara di tri t attorney' and publi defenders' offices.

In additi n the I.Ja, ho I today offers a limitedexperimental operational training proOTam ,vhich allows amall number of student to receive one semester's credit

toward their J.D. degree for approximately six months offaculty supervised work as externs outside the Law hool. Allexterns return to the chool for at least one term after theiroperational training experience. The three positionspre entlya ailable in the field of admini tration of justice arewith the dult Probation Department of an ateoCounty and the Ju enile Probation Departments of an

ateo and anta Clara Counties. In each department thestudents go through the four to six-week orientation programgiven all new probation officers. They are then assigned tothree successive operating departments performing the workof a probation officer. During the last tw and a halfmonths they ontinue to" rk part time uper ising three orfour cases and al 0 serve a assistants to the director of theagency, attending ounty and state upervi or andinter-agency meeting. There are course prerequisite foreach position and ea h extern ork on a resear h pr jectbased on his experien e to be submitted on his returnto the choo!.

The tanford Law chool today has an unusually strongfaculty complement in the field of criminal law.

Professor nthony G. Amsterdam holds an .B. in Frenchliterature from Ha erford College and an LL.B. from the

ni er ity f Pennsyl ania, here he a editor-in-chief ofthe University of Penn ylvania Law Review. His note onthe "Void-for-Vagueness Doctrine in the upreme Court,"appearing in 109 University of Pennsylvania Law Review67 (1960) has often been cited in court ases. Followinglaw school he served as law clerk to Mr. Justice Frankfurterfor the 1960-61 term and in 1961-62 he was ssistant United

tates Attorney for the District of Columbia. Mr.msterdam as a member of the la faculty of theni ersity of Pennsyl ania from 1962 until 1969. He was on

lea e for the year 1968-69, which he spent as counsel to the.A. .C.P. Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. On

behalf of the Legal Defense Fund Professor Amsterdamhas been an active participant in a series of casesdealing with the death penalty.

While teaching at Pennsylvania Mr. Amsterdam also devoteda substantial portion of his time to work as a consultantand litigating attorney for the Legal Defense Fund, as well asfor the Lawyers Constitutional Defense Committee, AmericanCivil Liberties nion, and Lawyers' Committee for CivilRights nder Law. He has been a member of numerouscommittees and commissions dealing with the criminalprocess. r. Amsterdam's publications include: Triall\1anual

3

for the Defense of Criminal Cases (2 vols., 1967, withBernard ~ egal and iller), and The IJefensive Transferof Civil Rights Litigation from Stale to f'ederal Courts(2 ols., 1964).

Professor msterdam's principal interest is riminalprocedure; mu h of his court vvork has been in this field.Professor msterdam is currently in olved in a numberof cases before the ~ upreme Court. He i a proponent ofclinical training as a supplement to cIa room tudyto provide students with practical experience in the orkincr

context of the la,v, the actual operation of ourt alendars andthe trial of ca es. In his view, however, the ultimate alueof such training to the student depends on the supervisionand dire t in olvement in e ted by the re ponsible lawfaculty member.

ssistant Profes or Paul ndrew Brest received an .B. inEnglish literature in 1962 from vvarthmore College andan LL.B. in 1965 from Harvard, here he was supreme courtand developments note editor of the Harvard LawReview. He served as law clerk to Judge Bailey Aldrich,

nited tates Court of ppeals for the Fir t Circuit, in1965-66 and as law clerk to Ir. Justice Harlan of the Unitedtates upreme Court in 1968-69. With his attorney wife,

Iris, Professor Brest was with the .A.A.C.P. I.,egal Defenseand Educational Fund, In ., in ississippi from 1966 to1968. He joined the tanford law faculty in the fall of 1969.

Professor Brest has a long term interest in empirical researchwork and in the basic problems rai ed by the criminalsanction: Does criminal san tion work as a deterrent? Forwhat crimes? Under what conditions? His views on clinicaltraining orrespond to those of Professor Amsterdam.

Professor John Kaplan received an .B. in physics in 1951and an LL.B. in 1954 from Harvard University, where he wason the Law Review. He was a law clerk to Justice TomClark of the upreme Court during 1954-55 and then wentto the University of ienna for a year's study incriminology. In 1957 he as a pecial ttorney for theUnited tates Department of Justice. Between 1958 and 1961he ser ed as ssistant nited tates ttorney in the

orthern District of California concentrating primarily oncivil and criminal fraud work. He spent 1961 at the HudsonInstitute as a research analyst in the problems of nuclearwarfare and civil defense. Before coming to Stanford he wasan Associate Professor of Law at Jorth estern Universityfrom 1962 until 1965 and Visiting Associate Professor of Lawat the University of California at Berkeley in 1964-65.
