UCLA School of Law
[9] Near the end of 1948, the Committee finally identified a sufficiently conservative candidate willing to take the job: L. Dale Coffman, then the dean of Vanderbilt University Law School.[7] Coffman was able to recruit several distinguished faculty to UCLA, including Roscoe Pound, Brainerd Currie, Rollin M. Perkins, and Harold Verrall.[7][8] On May 24, 1956, Coffman was stripped of his deanship after a lengthy investigation by a panel of deans of his biases and his "dictatorial, undemocratic, and autocratic" management style.[11] Dean Maxwell "presided over happier, more harmonious years of institutional growth,"[8] and it was under his deanship that UCLA became "the youngest top-ranked law school in the country.[8] In October 1963, the law school administration announced a major remodeling and expansion project, which added air conditioning and a new wing to the building.[8] The chronic space shortage was ultimately relieved by the addition of a wing for clinical education [12] and, after four grueling years of construction, completion of the new Hugh and Hazel Darling Law Library on January 22, 2000.[14] In the 1990s and through subsequent years, the school established several "centers of excellence" that focus on education and advocacy in specific fields.Through clinical courses and related offerings, the school allows students to directly represent clients in a variety of settings while under expert supervision.The roughly 300 students who begin law school at UCLA every year are divided into sections to encourage a sense of community.The oldest parts of the Law Building's interior are notorious for a "high school atmosphere" and "dark, drafty classrooms".
