Arkansas Law Professor To Lecture on Law Day
Robert A. Leflar, who now occupies the Chair of Distinguished Law Professor at the University of Arkansas, will be the guest speaker at the annual "Law Day" banquet and honors program to be held April 27 in the Kansas Union.
"PROF. LEFLAR is an outstanding writer, teacher and public servant." said F. J. Moreau, acting dean of the school of law. "He has had a hand in every movement for the betterment of law within the last 30 years."
Prof. Leflair was a visiting law professor at KU during the year 1932-33, and has also taught at other law schools across the country.
He has been professor and dean at the University of Arkansas law school, justice of the Supreme Court of Arkansas, and professor of law at New York University.
He is at present director of the Appellate Judges Seminars at New York University during the summer.
"IT IS UNUSUAL for a man born and raised in one of our southern states to be able to teach attorneys in New York, and throughout the rest of the country, about their own laws." Dean Moreau pointed out.
For the last 10 years he has served as chairman of a committee of the Association of American Law Schools which is set up "for the elimination of all segregation in American law schools."
Robert A. Leflar
PROF. LEFLAR was attorney for the War Relocation Authority and the Public Member Regional War Labor Board under Roosevelt. In Arkansas he was a leader in the revision of state statutes, and has served as a Commissioner on Uniform laws.
He has taught nearly all of the subjects offered in law curriculums, but now specializes in the conflict of laws, torts, the legal profession, and jurisprudence.
