Law to Layman
Don Wilson, Alum
School of Law 1948


Karl Llewelen, jurisprudence prof, left class after his point was made. 30 mins, 20 mins or whatever time it took.

"Law to layman is a person walking down the street who looks up to see marble steps leading up to doric columns, the coldest of all materials for architects. Between the columns is a statue. The statue holds scales. The statue is blindfolded."

End lecture.
