Civil Law And The Common Law A World Survey, R W. Lee

Michigan Law Review

In universities and other seats of learning, where men devote themselves to the pursuit of truth, certain great events or movements in the world's history claim attention as essentially and always proper subjects of investigation. Whatever the future may bring, we can hardly suppose a time when the art of Greece, the literature of England, the religions of the East will not be studied.

That is to say, through the rules prohibiting judges from commenting on the weight of the evidence, juries tend to become irresponsible, verdicts tend to become matters of chance, and the intricacy of procedure, with its cost, delay and …

A Comparison Of Some Methods Of Conciliation And Arbitration Of Industrial Disputes, James H. Brewster
