Cavers Named Dean to Head Law Research

Professor David F. Cavers, chairman of the Committee on International Legal Studies, has been appointed Associate Dean of the law School, Dean Griswold announced yesterday. Cavers' appointment will inaugurate a large program of legal research, Griswold said.

Cavers will coordinate study of current problems of international as well as domestic law, and will help develop teaching methods for the Law School. He is also perfecting plans for the projected World School of Law.

Plans Due Soon

Definite developments in plans for the graduate program in world law should be forthcoming within a month, Cavers said last night. The Law Faculty this fall approved plans which would bring foreign students to the University to study international and world constitutional law.

The first project of its kind in America, the World School would cost nearly $1,000,000 when it reached its expected enrollment of 150. Cavers hoped to bring plans for a 25 student pilot program before the faculty this winter.

A number of ideas about the World School are in the talking stage.

Tentative plans call for construction of a building to house the project in back of Langdell Hall, if fund raising and world conditions permit.
