Harry Leland "Mitch" Mitchell was born in Halls, Tennessee, on June 14, 1906. He began farm work when he was eight years old, attending school during off-season. He was married in 1925 to Lyndell Carmack, with whom he had two sons and a daughter. He married Dorothy Dowe, an STFU officer, in 1951. Before founding the STFU, Mitchell worked as a sharecropper in Tennessee and Mississippi and ran a dry cleaning business in Tyronza, Arkansas from 1927 to 1934. The Southern Tenant Farmers Union was founded in Tyronza in July of 1934 by 18 men, 7 of them black and 11 white. As one of the first integrated unions, it represented the sharecroppers and tenant farmers of the South. Mr. Mitchell served as the executive secretary of STFU from 1934 to 1939 and 1941 to 1944. At its largest in 1938, the STFU had 31,000 members. Mr. Mitchell went on to serve as a national organizer and made numerous appearances at colleges and universities throughout the United States. H.L. Mitchell died August 1, 1989. Arrangement: Series I - (2 doc. boxes). Materials relating to personal and profession business and organizations not pertaining to specific labor unions.

Equipping Our Lawyers: Mitchell\u27s Outcomes-Based Approach to Legal Education
No full textIt is timely that the William Mitchell Law Review has decided to dedicate an issue to outcomes in legal education. As a long-time innovator in pedagogy, professional skills education, and experiential learning, William Mitchell has once again emerged as a leader in its outcomes-based approach to course and curricular design. Amid the current climate of uncertainty in legal education and the legal profession, and as a relative newcomer to Mitchell’s history, I believe in Mitchell’s future – tied to the past, but innovative and distinct. In this essay, I share our vision for increasing emphasis on outcomes, expanding experiential learning opportunities, and creating more flexibility for students

The Creativity of the Common-Law Judge: The Jurisprudence of William Mitchell
No full textMitchell\u27s presence graced the Minnesota Supreme Court for nearly nineteen years, from 1881 to 1900. His output was prodigious. He produced nearly 1600 judicial opinions. It has been estimated “that excluding Sundays, and allowing a month in each year for vacation, Judge Mitchell wrote one opinion in every three days for nineteen years.” Indeed, “[i]n point of numbers, his opinions exceed those of any other justice of the Supreme Court of his state, or the nation.” It is one aspect, perhaps the central aspect, the unifying theme of this prolific body of work, that is the focus of this essay: William Mitchell\u27s commitment to the basic principles and methodology of common-law jurisprudence
Clinical Teaching at William Mitchell College of Law: Values, Pedagogy, and Perspective
No full textAs part of our celebration of thirty years of clinical education at William Mitchell College of Law, I want to describe three clinical courses that I\u27ve had a hand in developing and teaching. When I joined the William Mitchell faculty in 1984, the clinical program was in full bloom, vigorous, and diverse. The courses I discuss in this short essay have grown out of that fertile and energetic educational environment. While the main focus of my essay is to describe these courses, I also take the opportunity to reflect very briefly on the William Mitchell educational philosophy out of which they have grown, and of which they form a part. As I see it, William Mitchell\u27s approach to legal education flows from three main founts. First, there is an embrace of the profession, combined with the critical stance that should characterize higher education. William Mitchell is proud to be a professional school, helping students learn not just theory, but a practice--a complex, nuanced, and messy subset of real life. Second, William Mitchell\u27s education has incorporated a focus on values. In some ways, clinical education can take the lead in values education, but at William Mitchell, we\u27ve worked to include attention to values throughout our curriculum. But how one might teach about values is not self-evident, so our approaches to values-education have been diverse, and the courses I describe are part of an institutional ethos that encourages experimentation and initiative in developing approaches to teaching. The third characteristic is the school\u27s history of putting pedagogy on the same plane as scholarship. Teaching and writing are the two ways in which law school professors construct and disseminate knowledge. Our respect for teaching manifests the high regard we have for our students, for the profession they are learning, and for the clients they will eventually represent. Thinking about how to structure teaching to support our educational goals regarding the profession and values has led me to think a lot about the idea of perspective. Typical law school teaching shines a spotlight on a particular, analytically distinct area of legal doctrine or theory--for example, contracts or torts. This “content” is taught by studying pieces of judges\u27 (and lawyers\u27) work--often appellate opinions. Much clinical education--including the courses I am about to describe-- changes this typical pedagogical structure in two ways. First, it reverses foreground and background, so that the focus is now on what lawyers do rather than what law is. Second, clinical education shifts from the analytical stance to an approach that is integrative, which helps students connect the analytically separate pieces of their legal education together into a meaningful whole. As the reader will see, all three of the courses discussed below were developed collaboratively, are taught collaboratively, and use collaboration as a tool for learning. This, too, is a conscious choice about pedagogy, about values, and about lawyering. It represents an application of pedagogical knowledge about adult learning and models a way of approaching the practice of law and relationships with clients
Mitchell, Tom
No full textSince 2012, I have been University Archivist (Emeritus) at Brandon University. In practical terms, I am now an independent researcher, writer, documentary producer with many interests – traditional historical and archival practice included – that tend to converge on public history.
The digital revolution has furnished a new terrain for public history and given a new urgency to the need to come to terms with its epistemological nature and practice. I spend lots of time thinking about that, though the ontological nature of self and narrative on the Assiniboine c.1793 is demanding more attention lately.
