Law's Delays, Grant Foreman Dec 1914

Law's Delays, Grant Foreman

Michigan Law Review

A Gentleman of an acquisitive nature was adventuring about a large city seeking what he might turn to quick profit. Contact with the so-called font of justice gave him an idea, following which he opened up a quiet brokerage business. Perceiving a demand for jurors who would decide a case favorably, to the side that was willing to pay a decent price, he set about supplying that demand.

Ontario Courts And Procedure, Herbert Harley

Michigan Law Review

Ontario Courts And Procedure, Herbert Harley

Michigan Law Review

In sharp contrast with the other great system of law, that founded by the Romans, the common law has not been the product of legislation, but of litigation. It has grown up in the atmosphere of courts of justice. Such a genesis would necessarily give it a strong procedural favor, and would tend to emphasize remedies at the expense of rights.
