Background

Scope and Content:

This record group consists of three series, Oral History Transcripts, Oral History Audiocassettes, and Oral History Computer Discs. The series contain audiocassettes, bound copies of the transcripts and subject indexes, and a small number of computer discs with transcript files. Transcripts and cassettes are arranged alphabetically by interviewee.

The interviews typically include discussions of the interviewees' backgrounds and education, and subsequent commentary on legal education. The administration of the law school is well covered in these interviews which also add significant detail to the operation of the University as a whole.

Biographical / Historical:

In 1988 an oral history project was launched by the University of Michigan Law School to interview retired and emeritus faculty members. In some instances the spouses of deceased faculty members were interviewed. The interviews were conducted by Enid H. Galler. Typed transcripts of the interviews were made from the taped interviews and an index to subjects covered on each tape was created.

Acquisition Information:
Received from the University of Michigan Law School in various accessions (Donor No. 343 ).
