The Law Teacher--His Functions And Responsibilities, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

The notion that the teaching of the law is quite as much a profession as is the practice of it, and that it demands an intellectual equipment of a high order, is probably gaining ground. It is fully recognized by those who understand what systematic legal education, as carried on to-day in our leading law schools, really is. But as yet the majority of laymen, and very many lawyers, probably most lawyers who were educated under the old regime as well as most of those who have come to the bar through the law office, fail to appreciate the full …

Legal Education In The United States, Horace Lafayette Wilgus

Articles

The origin of law schools is lost in antiquity. It is probable there were advocates in Babylonia,1 and schools for the education of judges and scribes (perhaps the ancestral lawyers) in Egypt,2 more than 2000 years B.C. The Civil Code of Deuteronomy was published 621 B.C.,3 and soon afterward schools of the prophets were formed for its study.4 When Ezra left Babylon for Jerusalem (485 B.C.) he "set his heart * * * to teach in Jerusalem statutes and judgments,"5 and the ruins of his school could be seen by the law students at Husal, 500 years later.6 It is …

American Law School Degrees, James Parker Hall

Michigan Law Review

Last August, at the annual meeting of the American Bar Association held at Portland, Maine, the Committee on Legal Education made a report proposing that the Association should recommend to the various state legislatures the adoption of certain rules suggested by the committee to secure uniformity in law degrees. These rules provided that an L.B. should be conferred by law schools maintaining a two years course; an LL. B. for three years of legal study; an LL. M. for four years, of which one should be postgraduate; and a D. C. L. or J. D. for five years, of which …

Humanistic, And Paticularly Classical, Studies, As A Preparation For The Law, Harry B. Hutchins

Michigan Law Review

Aside from the elementary branches, no particular subject is absolutely essential as a basis for the study and practice of the law. In this respect the law occupies a place somewhat different from that of the other learned professions. The student and practitioner of medicine must of necessity get a substantial scientific foundation for his professional work. This for him is an absolutely essential prerequisite. For the professional courses in engineering, a special and definite scientific preparation must be made. Without it nothing but the most ordinary work in engineering can be accomplished. And it is probable that for theology, …

The Opportunities And Responsibilites Of American Law Schools, Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

With two bodies dealing in general with the subject of legal education, the Section of Legal Education and this Association, meeting annually, and with occasionally a third, the Conference of State Boards of Law Examiners, each endeavoring to present papers and arouse discussion, it is obvious that the number of new questions which anyone may hope to suggest is necessarily, small. Most of the important questions have already been discussed, many of them more than once, and anything which is now presented is likely to smack of the truism or the platitude. The very remarkable increase, however, both in the …

Franklin Henry Bryant (1907), Rebecca Ciota

Black History at Colorado Law

Born in 1877 and troubled from a young age by lung problems,¹⁹ Franklin Henry Bryant (1907) dedicated himself to his education. In 1898, he joined the Seventh Day Adventist Church, where he served as a stenographer for the son of the founders of the Seventh Day Adventists, J. Edson White.

Bryant traveled across the country with the Adventists. After suffering an injury to or illness in his face, he traveled to Battle Creek, Michigan, for treatment, where the Adventist Sanitarium workers received him poorly. J. Edson White and his brother W.C. White interceded on Bryant’s behalf, and Bryant moved …

Founding Of The College Of Law Of The Ohio State University, Horace Lafayette Wilgus

Articles

It is proper for me to say, in the beginning, that I have been delegated to bear, and I have the honor to present to the College of Law of the Ohio State University, upon this occasion the sincere congratulations and most hearty good wishes of the largest University Law School in the United States--the Department of Law of the University of Michigan. In addition to this, it is with much satisfaction, and is a very great personal pleasure, that I have the privilege of joining in the festivities of this dedication of the beautiful Temple of Themis, wherein the …

Should Men Bearing The Same Title In Any Institution Receive The Same Pay?, Harry B. Hutchins

Other Publications

I suppose that there is at the present time in most universities discrimination to a limited extent between men holding the same title. In some cases it is based upon length of service; in others, it is made in favor of men who perform extra duties. Sometimes, moreover, special endowments lead to discriminations. And occasionally the salary of a man is fixed above that of his associates in order to retain his services when he has been called at an increased salary by another university. Sometimes, also, special and exceptional circumstances put a man in a different class from that …

Function Of The State University Law School, Andrew Alexander Bruce

Michigan Law Review

It is only where there is law that there is liberty, and where there is law there must be lawyers. In the countries where the lawyers are the fewest liberty is at the lowest ebb, an the dignity of the individual least regarded. Even if the modern industrial system should undergo a change, and the dream of the socialist were to be fulfilled, there would still be a demand for the legal arbiter, interpreter and counsellor, for socialism in its last analysis is merely a system under which human conduct and activity is everywhere sought to be controlled and regulated …

Law As A Culture Study, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

That acute observer and commentator on American institutions, James Bryce, in an oft-quoted statement in his American Commonwealth, pays a high tribute to the efficiency of American law schools. "I do not know if there is anything," he writes, "in which America has advanced more beyond the mother country than in the provision she makes for legal education." In passing this generous judgment, in which many other eminent Englishmen have concurred, he views our law schools simply as institutions for developing technical proficiency among students destined to fill the ranks of the legal profession. And this is, indeed, the principal …
