At the end of his presidency, George Washington published a letter reflecting on the character of the nascent American republic. Later known as his Farewell Address, the letter famously warned against the dangers of domestic political parties and entangling foreign alliances. In addition, Washington extolled the foundations of a virtuous citizenry: “Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity,” he proclaimed, “Religion and morality are indispensable supports.” Washington then offered an example: “Let it simply be asked where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which …

Surprisingly enough, the differences between the two systems are not usually significant; they follow the same basic legal principles, and typically lead to the same results. There are, however, two major exceptions: Jewish law imposes a duty to rescue the lost property of one's neighbor, while the common law does not require that one initiate the process by …

Among the recommendations adopted by the Canon Law Society of America at its last annual meeting was one for bringing the insights of legal traditions besides the Roman to bear on the canonical system. The following suggestions are derived from the insights of my tradition, the common law tradition. That aspect of the common law tradition that I believe has most to contribute to the development of the canon law is concerned not so much with the particular rules of law as with the basic techniques of legal analysis. The common law tradition of legal analysis, as it has been …
