University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Because one is presently competent in a specialty does not mean that he will continue to practice and maintain his competence and keep abreast of new techniques and developments. Certainly the profession should …

A Prospectus For Reform, Francis A. Allen
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The interests of this journal are not focused narrowly on any particular areas of law reform. It will be concerned with issues relating to the improvement of both private law and public law, judicial administration, law enforcement, administrative regulation, and much more.

No doubt, many of the problems to be discussed will be those with an important local impact. One of the interesting developments of our times is the degree to …
