The Law Book Of The Future, William W. Cook

Michigan Law Review

In an article published in November, 1922, in the American Bar Association Journal on the "Power and Responsibility of the American Bar and its Relations to Democratic Institutions," the author pointed out the achievements of the profession in developing the law to meet the political and industrial needs of the American people. There is still other important work for the profession to do. Blackstone's and Kent's Commentaries have been outgrown and there is an imperative demand for a comprehensive and practical American treatise on all law for the use of law students and lawyers, legislators and the educated classes generally. …

An Inquiry Concerning The Functions Of Procedure In Legal Education, Edson R. Sunderland

Michigan Law Review

Procedure has always been the bête noire of the law school teacher. No other subject has developed such divergent opinions or such endless debates. None recurs with such periodic frequency and in no field of legal pedagogy has discussion seemed so barren of results. Three different general sessions of the Association of American Law Schools during the last ten years have been devoted largely or wholly to the subject of teaching procedure, and yet no substantial progress seems to have been made toward a standardized scheme of treatment. Individual teachers and schools have their individual views and policies, and they …

Teaching Of International Law To Law Students, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

A point to be noted at the outset, in any discussion of the teaching of international law to law students, is the relatively unimportant place which the subject occupies in the law student's program of study. The students in our law schools are tolerant of the interest which others manifest in international law. Indeed they are themselves greatly interested. They concede freely that it occupies an important place in the general scheme of things. But most of them feel that professional students cannot afford the time for even an introductory course. It results that courses in international law included in …

Objective Law Examinations, George P. Costigan Jr

Michigan Law Review

In an article on "Objective Law Examinations" in the December, 1921, number of the ILIINOIS LAW REvIww,' Professor Albert Kocourek gives a somewhat idealistic, and to the present writer an unconvincing, argument for that kind of law school examination where the student is to answer merely Yes, No, or-this last to a limited number of questions-O, (unanswered). The argument is largely statistical, being based on an experiment with fifty-three (53) law students, mainly, if not entirely, of the first year, in the course known at Northwestern as Chattels I, and with fifty-six (56) college students, unacquainted presumably with any but …

Judicial Statesmen, John B. Waite

Articles

KNOWLEDGE of the Common Law "doth no way conduce to the making of a statesman. It is a confined and topicall kind of Learning calculated only for the Meridian of WestministerHall, and reacheth no further than Dover. Transplant a Common Lawyer to Calice, and his head is no more usefull there than a Sun-dyal in a grave." So an anonymous individual placarded England, some three hundred years ago, in protest against the election of lawyers to Parliament. It is unquestionably true, today, that knowledge of the common law-in its customary connotation of precedent--does not in and of itself make a …

Legal Education And Admission To The Bar, Henry M. Bates

From Conclusions: "We cannot close this report with some general remarks concerning standards of admission to the bar. An examination of the Proceedings of the American and the various state bar associations during the last few years will show a constant expression of dissatisfaction with the comparatively low standards for admission which prevail ..."

The Lawyers' Club And Dormitories, Henry M. Bates

Articles

The generous gift of an internationally known lawyer who is a graduate of this Law School has made it possible for the Law School to plan a splendid group of buildings. When the whole plan is finally realized we shall have an equipment for the professional work and the living arrangements of our law students hitherto unequaled anywhere in the history of legal education.

Review Of Cases On Contracts, By G. P. Costigan, Ralph W. Aigler

Reviews

Professor Aigler notes that other works on the subject have appeared in the past year, such as a collection of cases on contracts in the American Casebook Series by Professor Corbin and the new edition of Williston's Cases on Contracts. He feels that law teachers may be particularly interested in the notes, which "... are copious, are very interesting, and valuable." His verdict: "How well Professor Costigan's book will work out as the basis of instruction only actual use can tell. A careful examination of the book, however, has satisfied the reviewer that it would be interesting to try it."
