Simes On Future Interests, Charles C. White

Michigan Law Review

It is encouraging that the law teachers are turning their talents to the writing of treatises. Recent examples are Professor Bogert's monumental work on Trusts and Professor Griswold's volume on Spendthrift Trusts. And now comes this comprehensive work on Future Interests, about which little has heretofore been written with an especial appeal to the average practitioner. Too much of the law teacher's energy has. gone into editing case books and writing law review articles. And case books and law review articles are not read by lawyers in general.
