(Continued from page 1) can offer."
He said a condition of "legal genocide" existed in this country.
"The law school must be made attractive to black students," Scott said. "Courses must be introduced into the curriculum to inspire him.
"They [authorities] exaggerate what they think you've done," Lewis said, "The issue is not whether or not you're guilty, but whether you've done everything you're charged with."
He said the answer to the problem was more trained lawyers to inform persons in the community about the law.
Sponsored by the University of Kansas Law School, the discussion was part of the school's program to interest students of minority groups from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter the law school.
Both Scott and Lewis listed definite steps the law school must take to recruit black students.
New courses
"The black student must identify with the black cause and not become white-oriented. The black lawyer must serve not only the general law, but also his black brother in the community."
Lewis said "extra affirmative action" must be taken by the school or institutional racism will exist.
"If the school is sincere and wants to pay enough money, we can get black students into the law school," he said.
"We can locate black students, if not at KU, then CU [University of Colorado]. If not at CU, then on the boondocks," he continued.
Money is available
Scott said qualified lecturers with whom the students could relate should be brought to the law school.
Walker Miller, assistant professor of law, said money for scholarships for minority students had been set aside.
"We have enough money for two full-ride scholarships, which includes tuition, fees, and living expenses," Miller said. "We also have commitments for two tuitionfee scholarships."
Larry Blades, dean of the law school, said the program to recruit minority students was a 10-week old program.
He said the law school also had a proposal for a $30,000 grant from one foundation. These scholarships and grants would be renewable.

"This program is not just for black students." Blades emphasized, "but for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. We are placing more emphasis on demonstrable need rather than scholastic achievement."
The aim of the program is to "interest persons in entering the school, making them aware of the opportunities, and trying to supply the financial means."
For students who do not scholastically qualify to enter the law school, Blades suggests that they apply to the Counsel On Legal Education Opportunity (COLEO).
"COLEO is a nationwide program in which the student takes introductory law courses for an eight to 10 week orientation and training period," Blades said.
After completion of this course, if the student has the grade point average and passes the law school admissions test, he qualifies for admission into the law school.
Commenting on the amount of money available for scholarships, Blades said, "We
can't say what we can provide for a person until he applies. We don't want to make promises that we can't deliver on."
In a question and answer session which followed the discussion, Lewis and Scott responded to these questions:
- Is there justice in the courts? Lewis said, "In the hysteria of law and order, expediency sometimes is interposed for justice."
- Should black students sit in court when a black student is on trial?
"Yes, because it has a psychological impact upon the jury and judge," Scott said.
