Some Problems In Modern Legal Education, Harold Shepherd Nov 1931

Some Problems In Modern Legal Education, Harold Shepherd

Washington Law Review

Those of you who enjoy Gilbert and Sullivan recall, no doubt, the Lord Chancellor's appraisal of the law in "Iolanthe," "The law is the true embodiment of everything that is excellent, it has no kind of fault or flaw, and I, my lords, embody the law." Those of you who enjoy Dickens may also recall that one of his characters, Mr. Bumble, summed it all up by the expression, "The law is an ass." I have always suspected that the truth lies somewhere between the two, and that perhaps, in a nut shell, the true task of modern legal education …


Review Of A Review, Charles E. Clark Nov 1931

Review Of A Review, Charles E. Clark

Michigan Law Review

In an interesting review of WALSH ON EQUITY, in 29 MICH. L. REV. I I 22 (June 1931 ), Professor Clarence D. Laylin appears to ascribe to me parenthood for some pleading concepts set forth in that excellent treatise ( of which I heartily approve; compare my review in 8 NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LAW QUARTERLY REVIEW 521, March, 1931). Although these ideas have been supported by able writers and courts for some time, I should not object to the honor but for the fact that Professor Laylin also seems to assume premises which in my opinion are most inimical to …

A German Work On Trade Marks And Unfair Competition In The United States, Hanna Katz Nov 1931

A German Work On Trade Marks And Unfair Competition In The United States, Hanna Katz

Michigan Law Review

The acquaintance of German lawyers with American trade-mark law and protection against unfair trading was based until now on the individual studies of persons especially interested in this subject. German textbooks and commentaries on industrial property rights treat international and foreign rules too, but they scarcely give a sufficient notion of how to create a valid trade-mark and protect the trader in his full enjoyment thereof in the U. S. A. Yet the necessity of having such knowledge is a rather broad one in Germany as in all other European countries selling trade-marked articles to their customers on the other …

A Book Of The Lawyers Quadrangle At The University Of Michigan

About the Buildings

William W. Cook of the Class of '82, had a dream, and he lived in this dream from its inception until his death. It was to develop a great law school, housed in the most inspiring of buildings and devoted to the ideal of creating leaders of men. He often said, "Intellectual leadership is the greatest problem which faces America today; without leaders we perish." This he placed above all else. With these ideals in mind he proceeded with his work. Architects and artists were dispatched to centers of learning both here and abroad in order that the law school …
