From its inception in 1949, the Law School Announcement provides a brief description of the Law School and its origins, the library, courses of instruction, graduation requirements, fees, scholarships and prizes, and a list of faculty and administrators. By 1959, issues also provide information on student organizations (particularly, Law Review, Pound Competition, Order of the Coif, Law Student Association). By 1969, issues expand on the discussion of programs of study and also discuss student activities. In 1971-72, the Announcement/Bulletin also included the admissions application. By 1978, the Announcement/Bulletin provides information on the educational program, including the curriculum, dual degree programs, special field programs, and the clinical program. By 1980 and following, the Announcement/Bulletin began including more information aimed at prospective students, such as information about Southern California, the University, student profiles, student services, faculty biographies, and more detailed information about the admissions process.
