as “Books Reviewed,” “Books Received,” and “Current Materials.” Id. at 26.

9. Just when the Law Center first occupied TUII is a matter of some confusion as the
memories of that era’s faculty leaders fade. But the authors of these essays now believe that
date to have been the fall of 1975, based on the recollections of Board 15’s Managing Editor,
King Waters:
TUII opened with our class. This was the fall of 1975. So the class of 1978 was the
class that occupied TUII. The number of students doubled at the school. This was
why we had so many new faculty members. There may have been some students
who took classes that summer in TUII, but a friend of mine was in the class of
1975, May graduates, and when I told him my classes were in TUII, he said,
“What do you mean, TUII?”

legal validity of the Founding Fathers’ “no taxation without representation” call to arms.
