that. This dinner is a celebration of the Law School's
excellence.
Recently, I have been writing a history of the Law School.
Last year we celebrated our 75th birthday, but no chronicle of our past had ever been written. I thought that
tonight I would share with you some of that history. I
promise, however, to be brief-- it would take too long to
give even a cursory glance at 75 years of history.
The Law School opened its doors on September 8 , 1920
Dean Gerald T. McLaughlin
with a class of eight. The School was then housed at
Venice and Normandie, on what is now the Loyola High
School campus. The first Dean of the Law School was Joseph Ford.
Ford was a tough and colorful prosecutor. Among his many
idiosyncrasies, Ford would often chew gum in the courtroom . When
asked to name the 1 0 most prominent tr ial lawyers in Los Angeles ,

he answered with characteristic humility: "Myse lf and my two sons
are numbers one, two and three ; the next seven places must be
reserved for future Fords."

LA Times Building. The McNamara Brothers were labor organizers
and heroes of the labor movement. Ford prosecuted them; the
famous populist lawyer Clarence Darrow defended them. The trial
became an early trial of the century-- it was a cause celebre for
liberal politicians.

Recently, I was reading Gore Vidal's book Palimpsest-- he speaks
of his grandfather Senator Thomas Gore of Oklahoma coming out
to Lo s Angeles ostensibly on a lecture tour, but really to be seen
sitting next to Clarence Darrow at the McNamaras' defense table.

Darrow ultimately pled his two illustrious clients guilty - only to be
himself prosecuted by Ford for allegedly trying to bribe two of the
jurors in the McNamara case. Joe Scott, the second Dean of the
Law School, became a part of Darrow's defense team. Darrow was
ultimately acquitted. Scott, of course, went on to become a power-

ful figure here in Southern California. He was Dean from 1929-34.
While he was Dean, Scott placed Herbert Hoover's name in nomination at the 1932 Republican National Convention. His exploits in
the courtroom were legendary. He sued the Los Angeles Times and
won a punitive damages award of over $30,000 --an unheard of
sum in those days. He also successfully represented a child in a
paternity suit against Charlie Chaplin. He traveled back East and
spoke with Thomas Alva Edison about electrifying Southern

Jacob Becker was the fourth Dean of the Law School. Becker
had been Superintendent of Schools in Outlook, Montana and in
Antelope, Montana before going to the University of Chicago Law
School and becoming Dean of Loyola. Sayre Macneil was the fifth

No history of Loyola Law School , however, would be complete
without some mention of Fr. Joseph Donovan , S.J. Donovan was
born in San Francisco in 1 891 and came permanently to Loyola in
1927. For the next 40 years , Donovan was Loyola Law School. He
fought and cajoled to keep the Law School in the downtown area ;
he hired and fired faculty; he admitted students, but only after they took his entrance
exam; he raised money for new buildings; he
helped generations of students get jobs. Not

everyone loved Donovan, but he clearly was
a towering figure, a person who mattered.
Recently, whenever a Loyola Low School trial ad vocacy or moot court team is near a
trophy, it almost alwa ys seems to w alk away with it.
I could go on regaling you with stories of the
Loyola ' s Byrne Trial Advoca cy Team , comp rised of Cynthia M . Herrero ' 96, Clarissa J.
Hamilton ' 97, Ste ven A. D' Brounstein ' 96 and Alison G . Regan ' 97, was named " Notiona l

Law School's history but I won't!
One day, however, as I was putting the finishing touches on this history of the School,
something happened. Perhaps it was the
slant of light on that January afternoon
that affected me -- I really don't know.
Suddenly I began to see the big picture-1 began to see what this Low School has
really meant to Southern California over
these last 75 years. Although I understood many things on that day, I will
share only two of my thoughts with you
tonight.
First, I saw that Loyola's history was not
some monochromatic series of events-- a
mere list of bar passage or admissions
statistics, or a catalogue of volumes in the
Library. It is a vibrant and colorful history, intimately entwined with the history of

Lola McAlpin-G•'ant ' 66 and Paula M. Tipton '67 .
Someone once observed that at the end of any educational
step , the proper question to ask is not what we hove learned but
rather what we hove become. This observation would be heartily endorsed by a group of six Loyola alumnae who graduated
in the mid-1960's. Dubbed the "Dirty Half-Dozen" by one of
their spouses, these six attorneys ore grateful to Loyola Low
School not only for what they learned here but also for contributing to what they ultimately hove become.
Lola McAlpin-Grant ' 66 , one of the "Dirty Half-Dozen ," spoke
glowingly of the group, "We hove watched each other's
careers and lives develop over the lost 30 years, and I just feel
like they are my very best friends." Grant, of course, was talking about the other five members of the "Dirty Half-Dozen:"
alums Patricio Phillips ' 67, Janet L. Chubb '67, Paula M.
(Anton) Tipton ' 67, Megan G. (Geffeney) Wagner ' 66 , and
Patricia Lobelia-Lamb ' 67.
There were not too many women students in law school in the
mid-60's. Not surprisingly, while at Loyola these six women
bonded together and forged steel bands of friendship that have
endured over the past 30 years.
After graduation , each of the six attorneys went their own sepa rate ways. Pat Phillips became a Partner in the Los Angeles offi c e
of Morrison & Foerster and was the first woman President of the
Los Angeles County Bar Association . A high-powered bankruptcy
creditors ' attorney, Janet Chubb is currently a Partner at Jones,
Jones, Close & Brown in Reno, NV. Lola McAlpin -Grant, at one
point an Associate Dean at Loyola Law School , now has her
own practice: Law Offices of Lola McAlpin-Grant, in Inglewood.
Megan Wagner, now semi-retired , w orked for the Court of
Appeals for years as a Research Attorney and now works on a
contract basis with law and motion cases . Patricia Lobelia-Lamb
practices as a Partner with her husband in the five-person firm
of Lamb, Morris & Lobello in Pomona, CA. Paula Tipton is the
Business Manager for her husband, a musician/composer,
handling his business and legal affairs.
Despite their separate careers , these six women have worked
hard at keeping close and nurturing the friendships forged at
the Law School. Over the last three decades, they have regularly put aside several weekends a year for "Dirty Half-Dozen"
get-togethers. They come together (usually in Newport Beach)
to spend the weekend catching up on their careers and on their
families. In a very palpable way , the existence of the "Dirty
Half-Dozen" proves the strength and importance of friendships
begun in law school.

DINNER

" I'm afraid that I can't speak here tonight in iust a
soundbite," quipped Associate Dean Laurie L.
Levenson . She and husband Douglas Mirell, civil rights
attorney with Loeb & Loeb of Los Angeles, were honored in February at the Law School dinner celebrating
the generosity and spirit of those who have helped
establish a Chair in Jewish Law and Ethics at Loyola
Law School. Levenson and Mirell were honored for
their commitment to tikkun olam, or repair of the
world. "We're here because we care ... about each
other, about our comTh e Mi1-ell-Lev enson child1-en, son Solly
munity, and about our
children and students, and daughte1· Ha v i, lead in tbe ha 'motzi;

and whether they live
said before a m ea l.
and practice an ethical
life," stated Levenson during the evening . "That is
what the effort to raise funds for this Chair is all
about." Mirell, known for his First Amendment litiga-
tion work, especially with respect to church-state
issues, went to court last year on behalf of the
American Civil Liberties Union to keep cameras in
the O.J. Simpson courtroom. Distinguished dinner
guests included Thomas P. O'Malley, S.J., President
of Loyola Marymount University; Rabbi Mordecai
I I
Finley, Adiunct Professor of Law at Loyola Law
School; Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feiler-- well-known
and respected Jewish
scholar and Dr. Doreen
Douglas Mirell
Seidler-Feiler; Harriet
Cooper Mirell , Mirell's
mother; and Irene Levenson-Lipow, Levenson's mother.
The Chair in Jewish Law and Ethics is especially important
to Loyola Law School. When established, the Chair will
bring each year to the Law School a Talmudic Law
scholar. Commenting on its importance, Dean Gerald T.
Mclaughlin stated, "Having a
Chair in Jewish Low and Ethics
would allow Loyola Law School
to enrich its curriculum with an
array of courses that are both
comparative and value-laden.
True to its Jesuit traditions,
Loyola wishes to have a curriculum with a wide variety of offerings in the field of ethics and
religious legal systems. To my

On November 12, 1995 , the St. Thomas More law Honor Society of Loyola law Scho o l pr esen te d its
"Medallion of Honor " to the Honorable Joyce l. Kennard , Associate Justice, Supreme Co urt of
California. The medallion is presented annually by the So c iety to an individual who has made outstanding moral, intellectual and pr o fe ssional
contributions to the legal profession and society . Justice Ke nnard is a
worthy recipient of this medallion . She is, in the words of Dean G e rald T.
Mclaughlin , "a person who matters. " Justice Kennard w a s born in
Indonesia , of a Eurasian father and a Dutch mother. At th e age of 1 4 ,
after the death of her father in a Japane se prison camp , she moved to
Holland with her mother and embarked on a
schedule to prepare for university studies.
Then a double tragedy struck-- her right leg
had to be amputated due to a life-threatening
tumor , and because of the time spent recovering from the operation , she missed too mu ch
school to continue on Holland ' s rigorous university track . She emigrated to the United
States in 1 961 . A bequest left to her upon her

her full -time job and enroll i n Pasadena City
College . After overcoming more obstacles in
several year s than most people en c ounter in a lifetime, Justice Kennard wa s
appointed to the los Angeles Municipal Court in 1986 by then -Governor
George Deukmejian . In 1987, she was appointed to the los Angeles Superior

THf lfGACY Of BURTON R. COHN

71 liVfS
The legacy of Burton R. Cohn '77 and his contributions to Loyola Law School began in 197 4 when he was admitted more than
20 years after he graduated from City College of New York with a Bachelor's Degree in pre-law. He had just retired as Board
Chair of his company to pursue this former interest in the law . He immediately became involved in law school activities. Cohn
was one of the first students to participate on a faculty committee, which resulted in the launching of new courses and programs .
Cohn also became an informal counselor, offering career counseling in the student lounge. He is best remembered by many for
creating a sense of community at the Law School. Arthur Frakt, former Dean of Loyola and presently Dean of Widener University
School of Law in Delaware, said of Cohn, "He was an extremely proficient and accomplished counselor, a dedicated and highly
principled human being, and a concerned, caring friend to all who met him and who needed his advice and understanding."
A l umni and former professors of Loyola agreed that "everyone who knew h im, loved him." His spirit of adventure led many
student-faculty groups to a variety of unlikely and excellent restaurants which Cohn had found nestled away i n the back alleys
of Chinatown and Litt le Tokyo. Cohn rece ived a standing ovation at the 1977 commencement ceremonies . His dedication
continued after graduation --as a member of the adjunct faculty-- teaching accounting concepts to day and evening students
in addition to practicing law full-time . Cohn also served on the Loyola Marymount University Board of Visitors, and received
the Rev. Richard A. Vachon , S.J. Distinguished Service Medallion in 1984 for his efforts. A scholarship was established in
January 1984 in memory of Burton R. Cohn . The cumulative contribution now
totals $19,135. Thelma Brooks Cohn, his widow, continues to honor his legacy
by volunteering every Friday at the Law School's William M . Rains Library, and by
contributing to the schola rship fund. The Burton Cohn Memorial Scholarship Fund
is one of ma ny sc hola rships available to law students. Loyola Law Schoo l i nvites

Donovan, S.J., Regent of Loyola Law School, to give a private bar review course to classmates. When he graduated in
1949 , Fr. Donovan is said to have remarked that Kaus achieved the highest grades of anyone to have graduated from
Loyola up until that time. Kaus taught as an adjunct professor at the Law School lor the 25 years following his graduation ,
teaching a wide var i ety of subjects including evidence , agency, trust, torts , contracts and constitutional law. He also found
time to coach the Scott Moot Court team for a number of years . Kaus was born in Vienna , Austria in 1920, emigrated to
England in 1935 , and then to the United States in 1939. He graduated from UCLA in 1942 with a Bachelor of Arts
