Members of the National Organization on Legal Problems of Education (NOLPE) should question what they want educators to remember a decade after completing a basic school law course. The question was put at NOLPE's first convention in 1955 when President Madaline Kinter Remmlein sought cooperation for beginning courses in school law and gave impetus to the movement to include school law in educational management. In those days, local superintendents kept the board updated on legal issues. Today, attorneys skilled in education law are readily available. In 1955, Remmlein drafted school law test items that she submitted to five school law instructors for revision. These items were given to students in school law courses at 27 institutions. Remmlein's 1957 "School Law Test" was widely used for a decade. The test, in three parts, was studied for central tendencies. Some observations drawn from the test that shape a beginning course include: (1) location conditions are more important than content; (2) course content should be aimed at needs of the "role-alike" persons targeted; (3) the best strategy is to administer an entry examination patterned roughly after the Remmlein test at the beginning of the term. The instructor can then answer the question of what educators should remember after completing a basic school law course. (CJH)
