keeping with this idea, Sheldon Krantz, Dean of the USO Law School, yesterday announced the organization of a new community law center on campus.

future plans are vague, but Krantz said immediate plans call for a short term assessment of San Diego's legal needs and preparation to meet

those needs. The County Bar Association has given USO a $40,000 grant to begin the project. The center will be ba- sed within the law build·

to learn new tools of the trade," Krantz said. "We feel there is a strong need in the com- munity. The field is changing. We must

adjust legal education to reflect those changes." Former Bar Associa- tion President Daniel J. Tobin estimated there are 4,000 attorneys in San Diego. He pointed

out that although USD's center is not the only one of its kind in San Diego, it is unique because it has the direct support of the bar. "We have a unique concept in embryo," Tobin said. He further clarified the purpose of the center by comparing it to the hwnan body, with the action element of the center serving as a network service to bring information to the public. Tobin said they are now "talking about" planning the "brain" of the center. outreach centers to the public, educating them and of- fering legal services. The center itself will in- volve people from various fields working together, such as judges, lawyers and business leaders. "It's a project that will have deep roots in the working com- munity,'' Tobin said. In his announcement, Krantz said the center would provide advanced training for lawyers, help maintain the professional character of lawyers and provide current legal education. One of the problems Krantz plans to address is the escalating cost of legal services and its ef· feet on the middle class. The center also needs to assess the needs of the elderly as well as the poor, he said, although he admits the job won't be easy. "It's a fairly am- bitious list of projects," Krantz said. But, he added, "We are com- mitted." Ultimately, Tobin said, the center will provide

SAN DIEGO UNION JANG 1982 County Bar, USO Establish Law Center Establishment of a new law center designed to upgrade legal services in San Diego to make them "a. good as anywhere in the country" was an- nounced yesterday by officials of the Univ1,>rsity of San Diego and the San Diego County Bar As ociation. The bar association ha · pledged $40,000 to launch the center. which will research contemporary prob- lems plaguing the court and at- tempt to provide solutions. The cen- ter will be housed in the university's law school. At a news conference, law school Dean Sheldon Krantz said that among the more pre · ing issues con- fronting the legal system in a period of e calating costs are how to pro- vide legal services to the middle cla s as well as to poor people, and how to deal with the "tremendous de- lays" in the courts. "The administration of justice is in need of innovation and change," Krantz said. "There is no reason why some of these problems cannot be tackled effectively." K~antz and former bar president Dame! Tobin said presidential coun- selor Edwin Meese III has often sug- gested creat10n of law centers in which law schools and lawyers c~uld work together to improve the profes- sion. Meese, a former law associate of Tobin, proposed law centers in a Law Day speech he delivered in San Diego last May. Krantz said that shortly after he became the USO dean last July, he discussed the notion of a law center with Mee e, who encouraged him to pursue it with the bar association. Krantz, however, added that he did not think Meese would become in- volved with the USO center as long as he continues to work for President Reagan. Krantz aid he want the center "to be very activist" and to deal with both civil and criminal i sues. Bar President Tom Ault, who called the center a joint project be- tween the bar and USO, said the cen- ter'~ goal 1s "to make the legal pro- fession an , legal services in San Diego County a national model."
