NEW DEAN SAYS 'SAN DIEGO IS A PRIME SITE'

Expan • 19 By MICHAEL SCOTT-BLAIR E4ucat,on Writer, The San Oieto Un,on Too many lawyers are devoting their time to rich clients who can afford to pay substantial fees while poor and middle-class families are Ing squeezed out of adequate legal repr entation, according to the new d an of the Univer ity of San Diego School of Law. 1 It 1s the role of the legal profes- 1on to prevent or minimize conflict, but there are some serious questions a to whether the prof ·ion is domg this," id Sheldon ·rantz, who takes ov r July l from Dean Donald T WC t In "Is it really n ( ry for con- tracts to be so l gaily complex?" he a ked "Mu t court litigation be so low?"

the poor and middle classes, he said, "the legal profession itself must rec- ognize a responsibility to ensure that everyone has access to the law." This might mean some changes in what is traditionally taught in law school. Krantz said be was excited about prospects of expanding the USO law school's operations. "With the steady population shift towards the Sun Belt, San Diego is a prime site for an expanding urban law school," he said. "It is a young school with an active and enthusiastic faculty, and, though the law is a historically conservative profession that accepts change slow- ly, I believe we can bring about some exciting changes together." Krantz said, however, that he will not develop a program of any possi- ble changes until after full consulta• tion with the faculty. He said there are national trends away from the Socratic form of teaching and toward more practical, real-life ex- periences. There are moves to better equip lawyers to negotiate agreements, be- cause most of a lawyer's time is spent in negotiations, and ethical questions are being asked about ex- cessive bluffing in that process, he said. "Warren Burger (chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court) has said re- peatedly that many lawy()rs are not competent to try cases in court and students should be given more court skills. "But other people fear that the law schools would be turned into trade schools for court technicians, and that must be avoided," he said. Though the public image of the legal profession has improved since Shakespeare in Henry VI wrote, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers," there is still a long way to go before lawyers gain the full public trust, Krantz said. "There is some talk of putting re- strictions on lawyers, but I think this would be dangerous. The legal pro- fession can be policed from inside and I believe there are sincere ef- forts to do that at present," he said. Krantz formerly was a professor of Jaw at Boston University, where he was director of the university's Center for Criminal Justice. He has served as executive direc- .tor of the Massachusetts Governor's Committee on Law Enforcement and as a staff attorney on the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice. Though he has a strong back- ground in criminal justice, Krantz said he also is well versed in interna- tional law.

Feminist urg use of 'female power' symbols in theology The image of women as a minority inhibited! sup- pressed and repressed for centurit:5 by male-dommat_~ societies sanctioned by male-dommated Western rehg ions is a familiar one in feminist theology lik "f th ,, Some feminists resent the use of terms e . a er, "son " "lord" "king" and even "God" in Juda1Sm ~d Chri;tianity because, they contend, such symbol_s deify maleness, identify it with t~e source of authority and reduce femaleness to subservience. . . . . The result of all this has been t_hat fe~mmsts lives have been "11Upoverished and conflict_ed, says Dr. Carol Chr1St, professor of religious studies at San Jose State University. Ii . " t II h Ids sway That this rt of "patriarchal re g1on s .1 o , , says feminist Christ, was borne out by President Rea~an s victory last fall when forces that oppose~; Equal_R1ghts Amendment and "reproductive freedom {the nght to abortion) carried the day. . . To begin the long road toward remedymg thlS stat~ of affairs, Christ proposes the revival of goddesses into Christianity and Judaism. " ,, The use of such symbols of female power as goddess. "God-she" and "God-the-mother," woul~ g? a long way towards setting things straight, Chr1St said m a lecture at the University of San Diego. . "Goddess" emphasizes the idea of female power m the same way that "God" emphasizes the notion of male power, Christ said. . . It would also give expression to a female expene_nce • n i ed for centuries" because -of ma ,lion, she added. Id Chrut says the Jews worshipped goddesses m P Testament times but that these were omitted fro'!1. ,the Jewish bible for reasons she said she could not spec1fiy. "The absence of goddesses in Biblical religion was no mere oversight," she said. . . For some reason Jews and Chr1sl!ans resorted to t~e "active suppression" of godd~ !'-5 necessary for their survival as a community, Chr1St said. Similarly, today's feminists}?,Ok upon,,the a~~eptance of such symbols as "goddess, God-she and G~•the- mother" as necessary to bring change popular attitudes and give feminists "egual rights," Christ added. , Cbr1St spoke at a semina~ sponsore~ by the Wom_en s Institute for Conlinwng Jew1Sh Education, the Amer~can Jewish Committee, the National Confere11ce of Chr1Shans and Jews and USD. _ Robert Di Veroli
