The Lawyer's Response To The Demand For Both Stability And Change Through Law, Orison S. Marden Dec 1963

The Lawyer's Response To The Demand For Both Stability And Change Through Law, Orison S. Marden

Vanderbilt Law Review

We need not worry about the lawyer's response to the need for stability in the law. The average lawyer is a conservative chap who does not favor change unless the need for it has been proved to the hilt.Nor need we tender full apologies for this hardheaded attitude, for,as Judge Cardozo once said, "certainty and uniformity are gains not lightly to be sacrificed. Above all is this true when honest men have shaped their conduct upon the faith of the pronouncement." At times, however, we have allowed these considerations, important as they are, to outweigh even more compelling reasons for …


Legal Institutions And Social Controls, Philip Selznick Dec 1963

Legal Institutions And Social Controls, Philip Selznick

Vanderbilt Law Review

When the architects of this program asked me to discuss non-legal social controls, I assume they had in mind the need for greater humility within the legal profession. So proud an occasion as this calls for sober reflection on the limits of the distinctively legal-on the contingent, derivative, and partial place of formal adjudication and control within the larger ordering of human society. I have no objection to communicating such a perspective, there by adding an appropriate note of piety to these proceedings. Nevertheless, I think it may be more important for us to consider some of the great social …

Legal Techniques And Political Ideologies: A Comparative Study, Alexander H. Pekelis Feb 1943

Legal Techniques And Political Ideologies: A Comparative Study, Alexander H. Pekelis

Michigan Law Review

The problem with which we are going to deal is one of comparative law, a discipline probably even more illusory than legal science itself. A body of laws represents in itself neither a social reality nor a social ideal. One of the difficulties that every historian faces in trying to reconstruct a period of the past with the help of legal monuments is due to the great variety of relations existing between legal rules and social reality. So, e.g., legal monuments generally contain in an inextricable confusion at least two contradictory types of rules: rules which are a simple restatement …

The Courts, The Press, And The Public, Stuart H. Perry Dec 1931

The Courts, The Press, And The Public, Stuart H. Perry

Michigan Law Review

It was with especial gratification that I accepted this invitation to speak. It is a pleasure to be with you, and it affords me an opportunity to contribute to a discussion of matters that are of great importance to your profession and my own and to the public. Perhaps I should not thus separate myself from your profession. I am still at least nominally a member of the bar, and though it is many years since I last appeared in court I have a keen and sympathetic interest in legal matters and enjoy my contacts with the bench and bar …

Book Reviews, Edwin W. Patterson, Edson R. Sunderland, C E. Griffin May 1922

Book Reviews, Edwin W. Patterson, Edson R. Sunderland, C E. Griffin

Michigan Law Review

The title of this brilliant little volume might, more accurately, have been, "The Spirits of the Common Law," for it depicts the common law as the battleground of many conflicting spirits, from which a few relatively permanent ideas and ideals have emerged triumphant. As a whole, the book is a pluralistic-idealistic interpretation of legal history. Idealistic, because Dean Pound finds that the fundamentals of the 'common law have been shaped by ideas and ideals rather than by economic determinism or class struggle; he definitely rejects a purely economic interpretation of legal history, although he demands a sociological one (pp. io-ii). …
