Essays On Problems And Prospects In Southern Legal History, Kermit L. Hall Jan 1979

Essays On Problems And Prospects In Southern Legal History, Kermit L. Hall

Vanderbilt Law Review

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., once urged historians to study the law because it offered a magic mirror whose reflections divulged fundamental social values.' Holmes' plea on behalf of the utility of legal history has relevance for southerners intrigued by the possibility of their historical distinctiveness. Without a basis of comparison, however, the search for southern exceptionality becomes a quest after the arcane. As C. Vann Woodward observed,southern history ought to tell all Americans, not southerners alone,something about their common pasts. Woodward argued that attaining this goal was entirely feasible, since certain aspects of the southern past, such as slavery …

A Note On The Georgia Contracts Code, Julian B. Mcdonnell Jan 1979

A Note On The Georgia Contracts Code, Julian B. Mcdonnell

Scholarly Works

Among all of these codes, the present Code of Georgia enjoys a distinguished pedigree. It traces its origins and many of its provisions to the original Georgia Code of 1860. The story of that original Georgia Code has been largely lost to history, undoubtedly because it arrived simultaneously with the Civil War. For its time, the Georgia Code of 1860 was a remarkable legal document. Previous codifications in Anglo-American jurisdictions had been limited to reducing statutory materials to systematic written form or establishing new procedural systems. The Georgia Code of 1860 was the first codification of the substantive areas of …

Census Of Law Books In Colonial Virginia By William Hamilton Bryson, E. Lee Shepard Jan 1979

Census Of Law Books In Colonial Virginia By William Hamilton Bryson, E. Lee Shepard

University of Richmond Law Review

A decade ago Stanley Katz asserted that the eighteenth century American lawyer exhibited "a surprising familiarity with contemporary English law and a high degree of technical competence," and challenged legal historians to reappraise traditional views of the colonial bar. To a great extent this task has been undertaken, but the legal history of early Virginia still languishes. Anxious to rectify this situation, Professor W. Hamilton Bryson of the University of Richmond School of Law has compiled a "census" of law books in early Virginia, hoping to "shed some light on the law which shaped the lawyers who shaped the nation."

Editorial Privilege And The Scope Of Discovery In Sullivan Rule Libel Actions, Howard Hunter Jan 1979

Editorial Privilege And The Scope Of Discovery In Sullivan Rule Libel Actions, Howard Hunter

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The war in Vietnam was the source of a great deal of social, political, and legal controversy. The impact of that war on our society was significant and substantial, but most students of the experience would probably not have predicted that the war's events would produce a lawsuit that could have a significant effect on the common law tort of defamation. The intriguing saga of Lt. Colonel Anthony Herbert, however, set the stage for the decision of a case that was almost as important to libel litigants as New York Times Co. v. Sullivan and Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc.

A Personal View Of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo: Recollections Of Four Cardozo Law Clerks, Joseph L. Rauh Jr., Melvin Siegel, Ambrose Doskow, Alan M. Stroock Jan 1979

A Personal View Of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo: Recollections Of Four Cardozo Law Clerks, Joseph L. Rauh Jr., Melvin Siegel, Ambrose Doskow, Alan M. Stroock

Cardozo Law Review

A personal view of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo and his approach to the law is perhaps best provided by those who worked under his direct tutelage. Four men who served as law clerks to the Justice during his six year term on the Supreme Court agreed to share their reflections on that experience in this commemorative volume. Joseph Rauh, the Justice's last law clerk, wrote first; his recollections were then circulated among the other three: Melvin Siegel, Ambrose Doskow and Alan M. Stroock. Their responses to Mr. Rauh's memories of the Justice and his judicial style present intriguing contrasts and …

Marbury V. Madison, Lord Coke And Dr. Bonham: Relics Of The Past, Guidelines For The Present: Judicial Review In Transition?, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

It will be the purpose of this article to explore the modern significance of Coke's influence as analyzed and interpreted through the famous Bonham's Case and thereby to provide an insight into the development of our own concepts of judicial review, as borrowed from the English, in its original historical-legal perspective and as seen through the decision in Marbury v. Madison and applied modernly in the principal case of Baker v.Carr.

David Hoffman And The Shaping Of A Republican Legal Culture, Maxwell Bloomfield Jan 1979

David Hoffman And The Shaping Of A Republican Legal Culture, Maxwell Bloomfield

Scholarly Articles

In recent years scholars have paid increasing attention to the concept of "republicanism" as a measure of cultural change in America during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. To the Revolutionary generation republicanism connoted most obviously a representative form of government, based upon popular sovereignty and limited in its powers by a written constitution. But republican ideology encompassed far more than the restructuring of political institutions. It called for a regenerated society as well, in which men should be encouraged to pursue their individual destinies with a minimum of interference from public authorities. Civic morality and self-determination were closely …

The History Of Legal Education In Virginia, William Hamilton Bryson Jan 1979

The History Of Legal Education In Virginia, William Hamilton Bryson

Law Faculty Publications

Many methods of legal education have been used over the years. Each has its strengths and its weaknesses. The study of the past is instructive and useful in showing both the good and bad goals and methods. We must cultivate the good and uproot the bad. This study suggests that there has always been progress, slow but constant improvement. The teaching of law is vital to the administration of justice, a noble cause. The continuing challenge is ever to strive for the improvement thereof.

Professor Fuller's Jurisprudence And America's Dominant Philosophy Of Law, Robert S. Summers Dec 1978

Professor Fuller's Jurisprudence And America's Dominant Philosophy Of Law, Robert S. Summers

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The late Lon L. Fuller played an influential role in the development of American jurisprudence, but his views have not always prevailed. In this tribute to the memory of Professor Fuller, Professor Summers outlines the major tenets of what he perceives to be our dominant philosophy of law – “pragmatic instrumentalism” – by way of contrasting that philosophy with the views of Professor Fuller. Professor Summers concludes that these two philosophies differ in many important respects and that our dominant philosophy of law should accommodate, and may indeed already be in the process of accommodating, the thought of Professor Fuller.

Fornication, Cohabitation, And The Constitution, Michigan Law Review Dec 1978

Fornication, Cohabitation, And The Constitution, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note begins with the indisputable assumption that laws prohibiting fornication and cohabitation are nowhere explioitly forbidden by the Constitution. If a right to engage in consensual adult heterosexual activity exists, it will most convincingly be inferred from the Court's cases establishing a right of "privacy." The Note first seeks to discover an adequate definition of privacy which might lead to a decision whether "privacy" encompasses the right .to fornicate or cohabit (a right which, for brevity's sake, we will somewhat imprecisely call the right to, sexual privacy), but it finds no such definition. The Note therefore proceeds to investigate …
