BACK IN TIME

“THE GODFATHER.” SAY THAT TO JUST ABOUT ANY BAYLOR LAWYER AND HE OR SHE WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHOM YOU MEAN — PROFESSOR DAVID M. GUINN.

AS DAVID BEGINS HIS 48TH YEAR OF TEACHING HERE AT BAYLOR LAW SCHOOL, I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT HE HAS BEEN HONORED AS THE 2013 BAYLOR LAWYER OF THE YEAR. OR PERHAPS I SHOULD SAY BAYLOR LAW SCHOOL IS HONORED TO HAVE DAVID AS ITS BAYLOR LAWYER OF THE YEAR.

IN THIS ISSUE OF DOCKET CALL, WE LOOK AT THE IMPACT THIS GREAT EDUCATOR HAS HAD ON THOUSANDS OF FORMER STUDENTS.

David’s commitment to Baylor Law School, its students, and its alumni is a gift to us all. He’s known for making time to get to know students and learn their “stories.” Alumni, among them a few federal judges, are known to call him on occasion for professional advice. Faculty, several of whom sat in David’s class as students, look to him as a model.

I too sat in David’s constitutional law class many years ago. I count David Guinn — along with Matt Dawson and the late Dean Angus McSwain — as one of the great mentors I have had in my career.

Also in this issue of Docket Call, we say thank you to the many generous donors who are ensuring that our students receive scholarships that help mitigate the cost of attending Baylor Law School.

Baylor Law School has an enviable endowment. Based on the latest available American Bar Association Section on Legal Education data, the Law School endowment, at $107 million, stands at 24th overall among the 203 ABA accredited law schools in the nation.

These numbers are impressive, and we credit this to the hundreds of alumni who have established and continue to fund scholarships, whether through current gifts or planned giving. They create these scholarships in their names, for a family member, a beloved professor, or a classmate. Some of our scholarships were created by the families of their cherished alumni.

But as extraordinary as our standing is and as grateful as we are, we have a long way to go. We will not be satisfied until we can bring all or nearly all of our students into Baylor Law School on full or substantial scholarships.

We have set aside several pages in this issue of Docket Call to list all of our endowed scholarships. We also

have included the heartfelt thanks of some of our students who have received these scholarships. For many students, these scholarships were not just the difference between attending Baylor Law or attending some other law school — they were the difference between attending and not attending law school at all.

In this season of giving, I would like to thank the alumni, family, friends, and faculty who have opened their hearts by endowing scholarships that have provided our students with one of the most enduring gifts they will ever receive.

Docket Call is published by the Baylor University School of Law for its alumni, faculty, staff, students, supporters, and friends.

Baylor Law School, established in 1857, was the first law school in Texas and one of the first west of the Mississippi River. Today, the school has more than 7,000 living alumni. It is accredited by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools.

H is former students are now attorneys, judges, politicians, public servants, corporate

lawyers, entrepreneurs, and more. As with all great educators, Guinn’s influence runs deep and wide and has earned him the affectionate sobriquet, “The Godfather.”

Guinn is an enduring presence at Baylor Law School and throughout the Texas legal system. He cares deeply about his students, past and present. For this and more, Professor David M. Guinn is the 2013 Baylor Lawyer of the Year.

“It’s high time we recognize David, not only for his excellence in academics, but his excellence as a lawyer, the great legal work that he’s done in the field of political work, and his governmental expertise,” said George Chandler (LLB ‘62), of Chandler, Mathis & Zivley, PC in Lufkin, and a good friend of Guinn’s. “One thread I see with his (former students) is their responsibility to the law, their care, and devotion.

Something about David is synonymous with his students and a feeling of responsibility toward the law, to be as good as you can be.”

While many of his former students and classmates moved on to the private sector or high-profile positions, Professor Guinn said he has never questioned his decision to come back to Baylor Law School three years after he graduated in 1963 to become a faculty member.

“This is where I was supposed to be,” Guinn said. “I absolutely love my job.”

Guinn’s academic career at Baylor University began in 1957, when he earned a football scholarship. While good in sports, Guinn was equally driven to succeed academically. He found his passion in the U.S. Constitution.

“I had a marvelous political science professor, Dr. Robert Miller, and he taught me constitutional law,” he said. “And I remember going home and telling my mother, ‘I’m going to major in political science.’

And my mother, who was raised in an orphanage, said, ‘Well, I hope you’re going to law school because otherwise you’re going to be poor.’”

Noley Bice (LLB ‘62), Counsel for Baylor University, was attending Baylor Law when Guinn was still an undergrad. Bice recalled frequently seeing Guinn diligently studying in the law library.

“He was over there all the time,” Bice said of the man who would become a lifelong friend. “He didn’t strike me as a fellow that would get out and want to go in the courthouse and deal with what you do with judges and other lawyers, and folks. He was maybe more intelligent than that.”

After injuring his knee, Guinn took his mother’s advice, opted to maximize what was left of his scholarship, and enrolled in Baylor Law School in 1960, six hours short of earning his bachelor’s degree. At that time, a bachelor’s degree was not a mandatory requirement for admittance to Baylor Law; a student could enroll with only three years or 90 hours of college course work. About 10 years ago, Guinn quietly finished his remaining credit hours to earn his bachelor’s degree.

Even as a law student, Guinn already was showing his talent as an educator.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.“— HENRY ADAMS, JOURNALIST, HISTORIAN

IN HIS ALMOST 48 YEARS OF TEACHING AT BAYLOR LAW SCHOOL, AN ESTIMATED 7,000 STUDENTS HAVE PASSED THROUGH PROFESSOR GUINN’S CLASSES.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.“— HENRY ADAMS, JOURNALIST, HISTORIAN

IN HIS ALMOST 48 YEARS OF TEACHING AT BAYLOR LAW SCHOOL, AN ESTIMATED 7,000 STUDENTS HAVE PASSED THROUGH PROFESSOR GUINN’S CLASSES.

“David’s father was a well-respected educator in Cleburne, and David just had teaching in his veins. From the time we were just kids, he always distinguished himself from the rest of us by tremendous academic discipline and he really took it seriously,” Chandler said. “There’s no question that being around David as kids taking classes was a very uplifting thing. He could always help direct you to the right answer.”

After graduating from Baylor Law, Guinn began working for the Securities and Exchange Commission in Fort Worth. But that little law school in Waco kept tugging at his heart.

“One day, I recall driving home and I thought, ‘You know, I think I would really love to be a professor.’ So I came back to Baylor, visited with Professor (Erwin) Elias and then Professor (Angus) McSwain,” Guinn said. “They said, ‘Well David, you need to go to a national law school for a graduate program.’ ”

Once he completed his LLM in international law at the University of Michigan Law School, Guinn

returned in 1966 to Baylor Law, where a job awaited him. For his first few years he taught whatever classes were assigned to him. In 1968, when Erwin moved briefly to Texas Tech Law School, Guinn began teaching constitutional law. Guinn is now a Master Teacher.

PEOPLE ASK ME AT TIMES, ‘DON’T YOU GET TIRED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF TEACHING THE

SAME THING?’ I SAY, ‘THAT’S THE POINT OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. IT IS NOT THE SAME. IT’S ALWAYS IN EVOLUTION,’” GUINN SAID. “As our society changes, we simply change the interpretation of the words in the constitution. So now it’s not like it was when I started.”

Lyndon L. Olson Jr., former U.S. ambassador to Sweden, attended Baylor Law in the early 1970s when Guinn was a young professor and Olson was a young member of the Texas Legislature.

“I just absolutely loved David Guinn’s courses,” said Olson, who went from student to friend. “I think his power has been in his ability to take some very complicated law and to talk about what it means, not only as to the letter of the law, but also the legislative intent. What was the judicial understanding? He, for me, made the law very practical.”

Guinn holds a particularly special place in Olson’s heart; Guinn is the first faculty member to hold the Lyndon L. Olson and William A. Olson Chair of Local Government and Constitutional Law. Olson and his wife established the chair in honor of his father, Lyndon, and uncle, William, both Baylor Lawyers.

And what Guinn student can forget that famous crooked finger of fate (which, for the record, was broken when he was playing baseball with a friend)?

“I remember wondering if he was calling on me or the student next to me when he snapped his fingers and pointed that crooked finger at me in the middle of Con Law,” recalled Baylor Law School Associate Dean Leah Jackson. “Not only is Professor Guinn a master teacher in the classroom, but he also is a mentor and role model to countless students and graduates. He has earned our deepest respect through his many years of unwavering dedication to all things Baylor. He has provided legal service and wise counsel to Baylor’s presidents during a number of difficult and challenging periods, always going above and beyond the call of duty.”

Jackson represents one of several members of the Baylor Law faculty and staff, including Dean Brad Toben, who learned constitutional law under Guinn.

“The whole bunch around here, I’ve taught them all,” Guinn said. “That’s right. I’m very proud of that.”

Another source of great pride for Guinn is the ongoing work he and colleague and longtime friend, Mike Morrison, have done in the field of redistricting since 1978.

“I must confess, I love being in the academic environment, but it was good for me to get out and just work with good, fine people on the school boards and the city councils, and commissioners courts,” he said.

Morrison remembers that when Guinn first asked him to help settle redistricting issues in Freestone and Limestone counties involving minority voting he thought the work would take just a few weeks.

“I was a brand new faculty member. I was still spending 10 and 12 hours a day getting notes ready for the next day’s lecture. I don’t think either one of us had any idea it would become what it has,” Morrison said “At least initially, what David brought was his in-depth understanding of federal law and the constitutional requirements of equal protection. And what I brought was an aptitude to identify how we can make changes that would make the client happy, and satisfy the legal requirements. And over 30 years of doing this, I’ve

been tutored by David long enough that I understand constitutional and statutory issues, and he’s seen what I’ve been doing long enough to understand what the process is.”

Morrison was instrumental in organizing a group of Baylor Lawyers, some of them former Baylor Lawyers of the Year themselves, to lobby for Guinn to be honored as the 2013 Baylor Lawyer of the Year. The trick, Morrison said, was to make it very clear to Guinn that this was not a going-away present.

“I think it would have happened earlier, but there was some concern that he might read that as our giving him a going-away gift and feel like it was sort of a gentle nudge out the door, and I think what ultimately convinced people is that if you wait until you’re sure that won’t be the case, you may wait too long,” Morrison said.

Guinn admitted that on the day he was named Baylor Lawyer of the Year by Judge Ken Starr and Dean Brad Toben he was convinced he was going “to be retired.”

“For once, I was completely at a loss for words,” he laughed. “I am so honored. I am at the low end of the totem pole in regards to the previous designees. I’m so very honored.”

And to all those who worry he might perceive being named Baylor Lawyer of the Year as a career capper, Guinn assures them he’s determined to stay at Baylor Law School in his office with his father’s roll-top desk for as long as he is able.

“I’ve always been devoted to this little school and it’s my job and I thought I couldn’t be any happier,” Guinn said. “I love my work. Why would I want go somewhere else?”

With your help, my wife and I have received a wonderful scholarship to help offset the costs of my legal education.

I am humbled by the opportunity you have afforded me, and I take to heart the responsibility of being a Baylor Lawyer.

Growing up as the “black sheep” of my family, I never pictured myself going to any college or university. My parents managed to get me narrowly through high school. It wasn’t until I walked many roads, traveled through many shoes, and found a wonderful, supportive wife that I realized I needed to accomplish more — for her and our children. While she finished her bachelor’s degree, I pursued an associate’s degree in paralegal with her total encouragement. We finished our degrees at the same time, but I was not ready to stop with a two-year degree. Together, we sacrificed through my bachelor’s degree, and now I progress through law school with my wife as my emotional and financial crutch. However, because you established a fund in memory of your husband, and I have been awarded a scholarship from this fund, my family and I are able to disregard the overwhelming financial burden of higher education. For this, we are truly grateful.

Lubbock with my dreams of Baylor behind me. I was then notified that I was awarded a scholarship to attend Baylor in the spring, but I had already committed to Tech and did not want to ignore that commitment. The day before orientation at Tech I couldn’t believe how much I regretted turning down Baylor. I drove

to the airport in Lubbock, bought a plane ticket to Dallas, drove from Dallas to Waco, waited outside the Dean of Admission’s office at 7:30 a.m. until she arrived,

and asked if I could still attend with my scholarship even though I missed the deadline. She gave me a hug and said I didn’t need to have gone through all the trouble and I could have just called. However, there was something empowering in that grand gesture. That is how my journey at Baylor Law School began, and were it not for my scholarship my life would have been incredibly different now.

In 1965, he returned to the Texas Legislature as a state senator, holding office until 1974, and eventually becoming president pro-tempore of the Texas Senate.

In 1974, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from the 13th Congressional District of Texas and served until 1984. While in the House of Representatives, he served on the Agriculture Committee, Appropriations Committee, Agricultural Appropriations Subcommittee, and the Select Committee on Hunger.

After retiring from the Texas Supreme Court, Judge Hightower was appointed by President Bill Clinton to the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. He served as commissioner from 1999 to 2005.

Judge Hightower’s personal and official papers reside in the Jack E. Hightower Collection at Baylor’s W.R. Poage Legislative Library, a special collections library and research facility that collects congressional records and personal papers related to the political history of Central Texas.

In 1985, Judge Hightower began depositing his political and personal papers in the Baylor Collections of Political Materials, documenting his service as a Texas state senator and as a U.S. representative. Since that time, he continued to add materials from his years as first attorney general of Texas and as a Texas

Supreme Court justice, as well as numerous items documenting Texas and U.S. history.

Among these are original 19th century legislative bills related to Texas; newspapers and magazines about important historical events; and 50 years of media from vinyl recordings to computer tapes. Since 2000, he transferred additional papers and many rare books from his personal collection.

The Jack Hightower Book Vault at Baylor was constructed in 2006

and houses Hightower’s collection of more than 3,000 autographed copies of books, with the last of his signed books deposited in July.

The collection also includes an extensive assortment of presidential books, the largest of which centers on the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who was Hightower’s hero. The Lincoln collection includes many biographies and a small photo album with original pictures of the Lincoln family.

In 2006, the Baylor Collections of Political Materials commemorated the 80th birthday of Judge Hightower with a special celebration — “The Hightowers: Integrity ~ Justice ~ Service” — focusing on the life of service shared by Jack and Colleen Hightower.
