Developments In Judicial Jurisprudence, John M. Finnis

Journal Articles

The purpose of this Comment is to explore briefly the fundamentals of what Prof. H. L. A. Hart has called "the contribution offered by the judges to the jurisprudence of our day", and to indicate in outline the disparity between this contribution and those of the most recent academic writings.

Law And History, C. J. Friedrich

Vanderbilt Law Review

Law is frozen history. In an elementary sense, everything we study when we study law is the report of an event in history, and all history consists of such records or reports. It therefore cannot be my task to develop a sermon on the importance of historical records for the understanding of the law; the tie is too intimate and too obvious to need laboring." The work of Professor Maine on 'Ancient Law,'" wrote Professor T. W. Dwight in his Introduction to that book in the sixties of the last century, "is almost the only one in the English language …

The Challenge Of The Rule Of Law, W. Burnett Harvey

Michigan Law Review

The lecture last week considered the Rule of Law concept in historical perspective. Aside from its possible, highly restricted connotation of public order maintained by the force of politically organized society, three basic meanings or emphases were identified in discussions of the Rule of Law: first, certain constitutional principles, particularly those ascribed by Dicey to 19th-century Britain; second, certain valuable procedural safeguards of a fair trial; and third, those asserted universal and perhaps immutable principles, derived from God or Nature by the rational faculties of man, available to guide and, in some views, to invalidate positive legal action. Without denying …

A Criticism Of Criticism: In Re Meaning, Ray D. Henson

Fordham Law Review

Philosophers and literary critics have long discussed the meaning of words-or, more exactly, whether words themselves have any real meaning. The argument, Mr. Henson suggests, is relevant also to legal criticism. "Words about words may generate and perpetuate arguments, but they do not solve problems involving people and things."

Justice, Language And Communication, Julius Stone, G. Tarello

Vanderbilt Law Review

The present paper has been concerned to stress that jurisprudence, insofar as it is not limited to analytical jurisprudence, dare not overlook the distinctive qualities either of common language, or of the special language of lawyers. For what its authors deny above all is the utility of so defining a field--like the justice-field--which is a segment of common language, in terms of a special language or logical structuring similar to those used by lawyers. Nor do we think that the presence of considerations of justice (and therefore of common language statements) in the process of the operation of law, either …

Rudolf Von Jhering, Iredell Jenkins

Vanderbilt Law Review

It is often the fate of the giants of thought to have their names live on while their doctrines are neglected, and even for their reputations to wax as their influence wanes. Indeed, this happens at some periods to the work that all such men leave behind them; it is esteemed but not appreciated, acknowledged but not cultivated. The precise reasons for this fall into oblivion vary with every individual case, but there is one factor that is common and constant: the prominence within the work of these men of ideas that push inquiry beyond the comfortable limits that are …

The Legal Philosophy Of Morris R. Cohen, Huntington Cairns

Vanderbilt Law Review

Cohen died in 1947 with five of the numerous books he had planned published. Since that time others have appeared. If he did not live to finish his life's work, he accomplished more than is given to most scholars who teach and participate in the numerous public activities that marked his career. Cohen was not a hopeful man and he would not be attracted by the thought, he once said in conversation, of living life over again--particularly, he added after a pause, if he had to teach mathematics to college students. He was disturbed above everything else by the decline …

The Prospet Of Liberty Or The View From Saint-Remy, Ralph M. Carson

Michigan Law Review

This celebration of the first century of the Michigan Law School recalls the vain endeavor of the Holy Roman Empire to keep the craft of the law out of the Americas. Que no passasen abogados ni procuradores a las Indias was a clause inserted by the Emperor Charles V into the capitulation of 1540 with Alvar Nunez which sanctioned the exploration of the River Plate. Perhaps it was the futility of lawyers which prompted the Imperial veto. Twenty years before, when the Governor of Cuba sought to halt Cortez with decrees of outlawry from Spain, his cunning captain Sandoval evaded …

The Constitutions Of West Germany And The United States: A Comparative Study, Paul G. Kauper

Michigan Law Review

The purpose of this article is to present a descriptive overall picture of the fundamental features of the system established by the Basic Law and at the same time point up significant comparisons and contrasts by reference to the Constitution. Eleven years have now elapsed since the Basic Law went into effect, and significant decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht ) noted at the appropriate points, serve to illuminate the working of the system established by it.

A Variety Of Freedoms, Stanley D. Rose

The Idea of Freedom: A Dialectical Examination of the Conceptions of Freedom By Mortimer J. Adler Institute of Philosophical Research. Garden City, New York: Doubleday and Co. 1958. Pp.xxvii, 689. $7.50 . . .

Each year a number of books appear which are devoted to the subject of freedom. This has been going on for at least two thousand years. But a reading of only a few of this multitude of volumes will show that one man's freedom is not necessarily another man's. It appears obvious that some order and classification ought to be introduced into our thinking about this …
