The Four Year Course In The Department Of Law, Henry M. Bates
The Four Year Course In The Department Of Law, Henry M. Bates
Articles
The present year has witnessed the final step in the establishment of the new entrance requirement to the Law Department which was undertaken by the Faculty and Regents several years ago. This, in effect, provides that every student in the Law Department from now on shall have had at least one year in the Literary Department, or its equivalent elsewhere, and places the course of the Law Department practically upon the four year basis of the other schools in the University.

The Art Of Legal Practice, Edson R. Sunderland
The Art Of Legal Practice, Edson R. Sunderland
Articles
In one respect the law is the most perplexing subject with which a man can deal. It shifts and changes so rapidly that only a nimble and diligent student can keep abreast of it. One is likely to wake up any morning and find that the legislature has repealed a good part of what he knows, and he is in constant danger of having his most carefully formed opinions completely upset by a new decision of the Supreme Court. These violent changes are not due to any new discoveries, such as constantly enliven the scientific world, but merely to the …

Legal Education In The United States, Horace Lafayette Wilgus
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 …
The Law Teacher--His Functions And Responsibilities, Harry B. Hutchins
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 …
Humanistic, And Particularly Classical, Studies As A Preparation For The Law, Harry B. Hutchins
Humanistic, And Particularly Classical, Studies As A Preparation For The Law, Harry B. Hutchins
Articles
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, …

Law As A Culture Study, Edson R. Sunderland
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 …
Outlines Of The Law Of Bailments And Carriers, Edwin C. Goddard
Outlines Of The Law Of Bailments And Carriers, Edwin C. Goddard
Books
The Outlines of Bailments and Carriers form part of a complete work on that subject intended for the use of classes in law schools. The other part, which is nearly ready for publication, consists of select cases illustrating and amplifying principles stated in the Outlines. It is the purpose of the Outlines not only to state the foundation principles of the subject, but to put these in orderly and consecutive form in order that the student may have an opportunity to see the subject as a whole. It is believed that any study of the cases without some such connected …
Conveyancing In The Law Department, James H. Brewster
Conveyancing In The Law Department, James H. Brewster
Articles
There was a time when the young man "studied law" in the private office of some successful practicing lawyer. Much time was spent by the student in copying legal papers the real meaning of which was seldom understood and seldom explained. Fundamental legal principles were but little considered. Only under the most exceptional circumstances was this method educational. There was little, if any, systematic and orderly study of law as a science. That young men, after serving such an apprenticeship, ever became good lawyers was rather in spite of this manner of training them than because of it. As the …
The Practice Court, Edson R. Sunderland
The Practice Court, Edson R. Sunderland
Articles
The law department of the University of Michigan has always proceeded upon the theory that the chief function of a law school is to fit men for the practice of the law. An aim to make professional instruction as thoroughly practical as possible is by no means a narrow one, nor is it out of accord with the liberalizing tendencies of university culture. The age is insisting with more and more emphasis that nothing is valuable which is not useful, a doctrine which does not put culture upon a money basis but does insist that all knowledge is but a …
Cases On The General Principles Of The Law Of Private Corporations, Volume 2, Horace L. Wilgus
Cases On The General Principles Of The Law Of Private Corporations, Volume 2, Horace L. Wilgus
Books
In the first volume, and in the first two titles of the second volume, are considered the doctrines relating to the birth, life, powers, acts, obligations, and death of a corporation, effort being made to get a view of the general principles of the whole.
This second volume, with the exception of the first two titles, deals with the Corporation as a Subject and Source of Peculiar Rights and Obligations in its twofold aspect of Corporate Relations and Individual Relations.

Cases On The Law Of Damages, Floyd R. Mechem
Books
Note to the Second Edition: “The following selection of cases in the law of Damages has been made primarily for use in connection with the lectures upon that subject given in the Law department of the University of Michigan. The purpose has been particularly to supply illustration of the application of principles referred to in the lectures, and partly to supplement the lectures by rounding out the view of certain fields not otherwise completely developed.”
Note to the Third Edition: “While the general features remain the same, the number of cases in this edition has been considerably increased in the …

Cases On The General Principles Of The Law Of Private Corporations, Volume 1, Horace L. Wilgus
Books
This work is designed to furnish those interested in the study of Corporation Law, -whether practitioner, teacher or student, - such material from the original sources, and in such order, as will show how reason and experience have dealt with the subject. Effort has been made in the selection to secure the best expression of the underlying reason or theory; to place these in such order as to develop, in a natural way, the general theory of Corporation Law, set forth in the table of contents; to insert such notes as will present a more comprehensive view of some of …
Cases On Guaranty And Suretyship, Robert E. Bunker
Cases On Guaranty And Suretyship, Robert E. Bunker
Books
The cases appearing in this volume have been selected for use in connection with the lecture on Suretyship given in the Law Department of the University of Michigan. Barring omission of irrelevant matter in some instances and of the briefs and arguments of counsel in all instances, the cases appear in this volume as they appear in the reports themselves. Uniformity in spelling and punctuation has not been attempted or thought desirable. In regard to these matters, the report have been followed, except in cases of manifest error.
The purpose has been to put into the hand of the student …
Requirements Of A Legal Education, Bradley M. Thompson
Requirements Of A Legal Education, Bradley M. Thompson
Other Publications
The sentiment which has been assigned to me and to which, in a Pickwickian sense, I am to respond, covers the whole field of a lawyer's professional education. It is a subject of special interest to the bar, and of much importance, indeed, to all, for the bar furnishes from its ranks all the members of the judicial department, one of the three co-ordinate departments of the government, whether state or national. And since every member of the bar is a member of the court before whom he practices, we constitute, at least, one third of the government. And if …
Joseph Hardcastle Vance, Jerome C. Knowlton
Joseph Hardcastle Vance, Jerome C. Knowlton
Articles
On December 20, 1900, after a quarter of a century's services in the University of Michigan, Joseph H. Vance died at his rooms on Monroe street in the city of Ann Arbor. He had been confined to the house for only a few days and the announcement of his death shocked many of his friends, who had not learned of his illness. He was seventy-three years of age and to those most intimately associated with him his death was not a surprise. During the past two years marked indications of senility had appeared with painful frequency.
Suggestions As To The Study Of Law, Floyd R. Mechem
Suggestions As To The Study Of Law, Floyd R. Mechem
Articles
I have been asked to make a few suggestions respecting the study of law. I realize, of course, that I am in no position to speak with authority upon the subject. I realize also that it is a subject upon which competent judges might give different opinions. It seems to me, however, that two or three points may be suggested with reference to which all might agree.
The Professional School As A Factor In University Education, Harry B. Hutchins
The Professional School As A Factor In University Education, Harry B. Hutchins
Articles
The past twenty-five years have witnessed many radical changes in professional education. Here, quite as much as in other fields of learning, the old has given place to the new. This is particularly true of legal and medical education. In these departments the changes have been chiefly in the direction of more scientific methods and greater thoroughness. In the United States, until within a comparatively recent period, professional education in law and medicine was very largely obtained through an apprenticeship in the office of the practitioner. It is true that under the old regime, the medical student, if he aspired …

Cases On The Law Of Damages, Floyd R. Mechem
Books
The following selection of cases in the law of Damages has been made primarily for use in connection with the lectures upon that subject given in the Law Department of the University of Michigan. The purpose has been partly to supply illustrations of the application of principles referred to in the lectures, and partly to supplement the lectures by rounding out the view of certain fields not otherwise completely developed.
Arbitrary, but inexorable, considerations of size and price have determined the scope of the selection; and, for reasons perhaps suficiently obvious, preference has been given, when pqssible, to cases which …
The First Law Class, Bradley M. Thompson
The First Law Class, Bradley M. Thompson
Articles
The writer was a member of the literary class of 1858, a class great in numbers. It graduated forty-nine. It was the custom in those days for each senior to deliver an oration on commencement day. The class of '58 were limited to five minutes each, and they gave the audience a perfect fusilade of speeches for more than three hours at short range.

Cases On The Law Of Agency, Floyd R. Mechem
Cases On The Law Of Agency, Floyd R. Mechem
Books
The following collection of cases has been prepared, at the request of several leading educators, to accompany the writer’s treatise on the law of agency, the purpose being to illustrate the text by object lessons gathered from the reports. Nothing in the way of annotation has been attempted, beyond an occasional reference to similar cases, as it is thought that the text of the treatise supplies all that is needed in that direction. To make a selection of cases from the great number upon the subject is a difficult task and one in reference to which opinions will necessarily differ. …
Embarassments To Legal Education, Jerome C. Knowlton
Embarassments To Legal Education, Jerome C. Knowlton
Articles
In European countries a student is not allowed to undertake the study of law until he has received a degree equivalent to the A. B. degree in American colleges, and the minimum term of study is three years, and in some cases four or even five years are required. With some mortification, we recognize that the profession of law in this country has not approximated this high standard.
