Balzacian Legality: A Proposal For Natural Law Juridicial Standards Of Legality, Thomas E. Carbonneau

Faculty Scholarship

The task of the present article is twofold. First, it represents an attempt to make an original English language contribution to the continuing interdisciplinary inquiry, begun in France, into the presence of law in Balzac's The Human Comedy, by focusing upon themes and novels that have not been the subject of previous individual study. Second, it seeks to contribute to an area of growing interest to legal scholars in the United States – the study of law and literature – by providing an example of the insights one French novelist with legal training and experience had into questions that …

Monrad Paulsen And The Idea Of A University Law School, Michael J. Graetz, Charles H. Whitebread Ii

Faculty Scholarship

Monrad Paulsen played a very special role in both of our lives. He was our friend and our first dean, and we will likely remember no future dean with the same affection, loyalty, and admiration. Monrad knew when to encourage and when to criticize, and he used his knowledge and the force of his personality to help launch both of us in the academic profession. He was, however, more to us than friend, supporter, and critic: our views about legal education were, in important and permanent ways, shaped by Monrad Paulsen.

Central to Monrad's view of legal education was his …

The French Legal Studies Curriculum: Its History And Relevance As A Model For Reform, Thomas E. Carbonneau

Faculty Scholarship

This article attempts to describe and analyze those events which fostered the historical metamorphosis of the French legal studies curriculum. The predominance of a broad academic approach to law and the concomitant absence of a narrow "trade school" mentality in the French law schools might be attributed to the general organization of higher education in France. One of the primary contentions of this article is that the fundamental character of French legal education, which emphasizes the educating of jurists as opposed to the training of lawyers, is the product of a set of factors which are deeply rooted in French …

Walter Gellhorn, Michael I. Sovern

Faculty Scholarship

Walter Gellhorn is irreplaceable. To be sure, in every generation there will be a few scholars who are his peer. In a strong teaching faculty like Columbia's, there will always be some who teach as well as he. The republic is occasionally blessed with public servants who give themselves with the sort of selfless devotion that Walter Gellhorn brings to every task. Each of us can count on a handful of good friends like him for moral support, good advice and uncritical love. But I know of no one who has served an institution so loyally and so effectively with …

Changing Directions At Columbia, Michael I. Sovern

Faculty Scholarship

Each period in history handles reform in its own way. In the earlier days we placed a heavy emphasis on legal realism. We stressed the need to adapt the learning of other disciplines to legal education and to bring the learning of other disciplines into the law school instructional program. As you know, that is an incomplete revolution. It remains a part of our present concern, but our focus today is different.

2-1-1: The 4th Revolution In Legal Education, Michael I. Sovern

Faculty Scholarship

If we were to count the great changes in legal education from Charles Evans Hughes' day to this, we would find ourselves with a short list. The shift from apprenticeship to school was already well begun by the time Mr. Hughes was graduated from the Columbia School of Law in 1884. The case method was a new idea, but it would become the orthodox methodology in a startlingly short time. By the turn of the century, a number of law schools had moved from two- to three-year programs, but two years was still enough for admission to the bar in …

Professionalism And Student Protest, Paul D. Carrington

Faculty Scholarship

The attributes of professionalism, which are the hallmark of the lawyer's calling, can be used to help institutions and the public understand and effectively deal with student protest and disorder. An unruffled, low keyed reaction is needed in most cases with the law's processes reserved for occasions that cannot be handled as intramural clashes.
