Legal Realists, Legal Fundamentalists, Lawyer Schools, And Policy Science--Or How Not To Teach Law, Fred Rodell Dec 1947

Legal Realists, Legal Fundamentalists, Lawyer Schools, And Policy Science--Or How Not To Teach Law, Fred Rodell

Vanderbilt Law Review

Increasingly over the past years, there has cropped up in the law reviews a special kind of leading article. It does not deal with anything courts are doing or legislatures are doing or lawyers are doing; it does not even deal with what courts or legislatures or administrators or lawyers ought to be doing; instead, it deals with a subject of apparently endless and obviously narcissistic fascination to the law teachers who write the articles. It deals with the teaching of law. More precisely, these articles are concerned with how the law teachers who write the articles think other law …


Sanctions, Law And Public Order, George H. Dession Dec 1947

Sanctions, Law And Public Order, George H. Dession

Vanderbilt Law Review

A more creative conception of criminal law, and a more scientific and policy-minded approach to the organization of research, instruction and con- sultation concerning the use of criminal and other negative sanctions, 'have long been in making in the minds of many working in the field, in many widely separated places. My purpose in this paper is briefly to describe the kind of program currently conceived-to these ends in the Yale School of Law. Stemming from a series of exploratory studies and seminars conducted over the past few, years in collaboration with members of the Departments of Anthropology, Psychiatry and …


Sociology Of Law--A Student's Concept, Glynn A. Pugh Dec 1947

Sociology Of Law--A Student's Concept, Glynn A. Pugh

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Anglo-American lawyer is inclined to restrain his interest to the legal order; he becomes a specialist in the decisions rendered by the courts. The attorney, unfamiliar with present day methodology of the social sciences, is easily bewildered by the writings and judicial decisions of the sociological jurist. Part of this bewilderment may be at once eliminated by distinguishing two concepts of "law." The lawyer may conceive of the law as "that which is backed by the force of politically organized society." An inadequate amount of attention is directed toward the sources of law, its trends and its functions. Sociologists …


The Political And Social Factor In Legal Interpretation, Roscoe Pound Mar 1947

The Political And Social Factor In Legal Interpretation, Roscoe Pound

Michigan Law Review

We may think of the task of the legal order as one of maintaining the inner order of a politically organized society. The term "law" is not uncommonly used to include the task and the agencies by which we endeavor to achieve it. Thus it is used (as by sociologists and by the historical jurists) for all social control, and, by those who limit the term to a highly specialized social control through politically organized society, for (1) the legal order, the regime of adjusting relations and ordering conduct by systematic employment of the force of a state (the type …

Chief Justice Greene On Mob Law, Leander T. Turner, Roger S. Greene Jul 1944

Chief Justice Greene On Mob Law, Leander T. Turner, Roger S. Greene

Washington Law Review

On January 18, 1882, three men were hung by a mob in Seattle on what is now James Street between First and Second Avenues. Two of them had just been held for trial after a hearing before a justice of the peace for the murder the evening before of a popular Seattle citizen. They were seized by a mob in the court room and hurried to the place of execution, the sheriff and his deputies present being overpowered. The third was in jail awaiting trial for the murder of a policeman and was taken from the jail on the same …


National Law And International Order, Linden A. Mander Apr 1944

National Law And International Order, Linden A. Mander

Washington Law Review

The thesis of the present paper is that the future of law in this country is dependent upon the solution of the problem of international security and that without this solution we must expect to see a progressive decline in the rule of law and a probably unlimited growth at an increasingly rapid rate of official discretionary power with all the dangers to national liberty which such a development would entail. The problem springs from the effect of total war which itself has derived from the application of technological discoveries to war upon an anarchical world society, i. e., a …

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 …


If Men Were Angels: A Review, E. Blythe Stason Oct 1942

If Men Were Angels: A Review, E. Blythe Stason

Michigan Law Review

Occasionally one encounters a new book that is genuinely interesting because of the refreshing vigor with which it attacks an important and timely problem. Such a book is Jerome Frank's new volume, If Men Were Angels. Indeed in some of its chapters its vigor approaches violence, a fact which adds spice to the reading.


Constitutional Law - State Control Of Interstate Migration Of Indigents, Edward W. Adams Mar 1942

Constitutional Law - State Control Of Interstate Migration Of Indigents, Edward W. Adams

Michigan Law Review

The interstate migration of persons presents the United States with one of its most acute economic and social problems and carries in its wake a series of significant legal questions. Of paramount importance is the constitutional question whether the migration of indigents is subject to state control. To lend understanding to this problem, attention will be called first to the basic economic and social urges underlying interstate migration and second to the position of the indigent as defined by traditional legal concepts. To complete the discussion, suggestions will be offered for corrective federal legislation.
