Lawyers and anthropologists who are equally concerned with scientific and pragmatic questions have called for investigation of specific instances of legal change. Such men as Garland and Roth (1967), Healey (1964), Schiller (1965), Thompson (1968), and Twining (1964) have pointed out the need for concrete facts and figures for use in evaluating particular theories of and hypotheses about the process of legal change. In The Place of Customary Law in the National Legal Systems of East Africa, Professor Twining comments that “it would be of great value to have some intensive studies in depth of the introduction of the new courts system and the unified customary law” in Tanzania (1964: 51). He adds that “it is encouraging to hear that a private research project on similar lines is under way in Sukumaland” (1964: 59, fn. 42).

In a Saturday Review editorial entitled &dquo;The Revolution in Higher Education,&dquo; Norman Cousins (1980: 7) comments that the &dquo;nation's back-to-school movement ... is one of the most encouraging developments on the national scene.&dquo; Cousins admits that the idea of continuing education is hardly new, since some universities have operated such programs for over fifty years. He asserts that what is new is the extent to which the American university is shifting its attention from the &dquo;traditional full-time student&dquo; to the older adult.The university, however, is not breaking new ground in making this &dquo;outreach&dquo;: It is following the example set at &dquo;the heart of the American education system&dquo; by the community college (Ebel and Margules, 1981: 64). In addition to providing career &dquo;reentry&dquo; programs and language and arts classes for mature adults, the community college over a decade ago began to offer additional courses for those who were retired. The discussion here focuses on the teaching of legal anthropology in a program considered the model for making lifelong learning more accessible and more meaningful for those over fifty-five. ~ I REGULATION BY CONSUMER Emeritus College of the College of Marin, Kentfield, California, is the model for recent developments in the outreach of at CARLETON UNIV on June 26, 2015 abs.sagepub.com Downloaded from
