This facility was opened in the Fall of 1988 and is composed of eight IBM- compatible, Dell pentium
computers. Students have access to various DOS and Windows based word processing programs,
spreadsheet software and WESTLAW and LEXIS. The Pessarra Lab is fully networked, thus students also
have access to the Internet, e-mail, the World Wide Web and numerous networked CD-ROM titles. BayCat,
the Law Library's automated catalog, is also accessible using the Pessarra Lab computers. There are four
HP laser jet printers here as well. Additionally, there are dedicated WESTLAW and LEXIS terminals and
two high-speed, vendor supplied laser printers located in the Pessarra Lab. An electronic typewriter is also

Chief Justice William J. Cornelius (LLB 1949) of the 6th District Court of Appeals, Texarkana, has been
awarded the Samuel Pessarra Outstanding Jurist Award from the Texas Bar Foundation.
The award carries a $1,000 scholarship in the recipient’s name to the law school of his choice. Judge
Cornelius designated Baylor Law School to receive the scholarship. First presented in 1987, the award
goes to a judge who is actively serving on the bench who exhibits “an exceptionally outstanding reputation
for competency, efficiency and integrity.” Both state and federal judges are considered for the award.
The Pessarra Award is named for Sam Pessarra, who graduated from Baylor Law School in 1942. Pessarra
practiced in Brazoria County and later he and his wife, Helen, lived in California. He died on July 19, 1987.
