Trusts-Restated And Rewritten, Harry W. Vanneman

Michigan Law Review

Two books were published during the past year which are of the greatest importance to those of the legal profession who are interested in the law of trusts. Professor Bogert's seven volumes appeared first, followed shortly by The Restatement of the Law of Trusts by the American Law Institute, of which Professor Scott, of the Harvard Law School, was the reporter. Professor Bogert, of the University of Chicago Law School, was a member of the Institute's Committee on Trusts. Since 1927, therefore, when the Institute began work on the Restatement of Trusts, Professor Bogert apparently has been working …

What Should The American Law Institute Do?, Hessel E. Yntema

Michigan Law Review

It will generally be agreed, I believe, that the creation of the American Law Institute in 1923 was one of the most hopeful events in the recent legal history of this country. The plan for the Institute, as formulated in the impressive report which motivated its establishment, was well-conceived, broad-visioned, and based upon a comprehensive analysis of the chief defects in the legal system of the United States. This plan was significant in at least three important respects. In the first place, it defined an ambitious and, in some respects, a unique task for the Institute to accomplish; the report …

Dedicatory Exercises Of The Law Quadrangle

About the Buildings

We have met here today specifically to dedicate Hutchins Hall, the last unit to be erected of a splendid group of buildings presented to the University by Mr. W. W. Cook. The buildings are beautiful, useful, and enduring, but taken altogether, with all that they are in themselves and all that they signify, they represent only one part of a comprehensive contribution to the educational resources of the University of Michigan. It is, therefore, both fitting and imperative that we should on this occasion consider carefully the significance of our whole heritage. Other persons today will speak of Mr. Cook's …

A Book Of The Law Quadrangle At The University Of Michigan, Fred Nathan

About the Buildings

William Wilson Cook ardently believed that the future of democratic institutions must depend in large measure upon the ability and integrity of the members of the legal profession. He hoped to improve the quality of the leadership provided by that profession by improving the law schools. As the immediate object of his philanthropy he chose his Alma Mater, The University of Michigan Law School. The Law Quadrangle is the physical embodiment of one aspect of his idea and marks a milestone in legal education. In making possible a close fellowship between lawyers, teachers, and students in an inspiring environment he …

The Value Of Sociology To Law, Robert C. Angell

Michigan Law Review

There has been a good deal said about a sociological approach to law and, as time goes by, more and more attempts are being made to turn words into action. There is a definite trend toward the tise of the sociologist, his research methods, his findings, or his body of principles by those concerned with the law. It may not be amiss, therefore, for a sociologist to inquire what the possibilities of this trend really are. Though, in certain respects, he may be less well equipped for this task than the student of law, he at least has the advantage …

The Contribution Of Thomas M. Cooley To Bryce's "American Commonwealth", Everett S. Brown

Michigan Law Review

In the preface to The American Commonwealth, James Bryce acknowledged his indebtedness to numerous friends who, in one way or other, aided him in the writing of his book. First on this list is the name of Thomas M. Cooley. An examination of the text and footnotes of The American Commonwealth shows that Bryce was well acquainted with Cooley's published works, especially his Constitutional Limitations and his General Principles of Constitutional Law, which he quoted frequently with approval and respect. Also one finds six references to letters from Judge Cooley or to observations made directly by him to Bryce. But …

Broadening Legal Education, Edgar Noble Durfee

Michigan Law Review

The adoption of the case-method was a wild venture into the unknown, and even now, after a half century of experience, its wisdom is not proved in any strict sense. I remind the reader of this in order that there may be between us a clear understanding that any discussion of legal education moves in the realm of opinion. And there are other difficulties. Legal education is an eminently practical business, a tangle of conflicting factors. Wisdom lies in compromise and patient shaping of details. I shall therefore concern myself not so much with formulation of principles as with details …

Legal Aid Clinics In Less Thickly Populated Communities, John S. Bradway

Michigan Law Review

Legal aid work, whether performed by independent societies, or by clinics connected with law schools, has ceased to be a novelty in large cities, especially in the northeastern and extreme western parts of the United States. When one comes to examine the progress of this charitable aspect of law practice in less thickly settled communities, a definite orientation is necessary. There is little literature dealing either with the need in rural sections and the smaller cities for definite organizations or the question as to whether there is enough clinical material to make possible a law school course in this field. …
