The Law School And The State, William W. Cook
The Law School And The State, William W. Cook
Michigan Law Review
On the legal profession rests the responsibility for the future of America. Now here else does the necessary leadership exist, and leadership, based on training, character and intelligence, will determine the future of the republic. The rapid rise of America to the primacy of the world; its vast wealth, power and population; its problems of capital and labor; its expansion of governmental functions; its diversity of races; its determination to preserve American institutions-all demand leadership of the highest order, and that can be found only in the legal profession. It is a problem of the ages. From Plato's Republic to …
The Law Institute And The Teacher Of Law, Herbert F. Goodrich
The Law Institute And The Teacher Of Law, Herbert F. Goodrich
Michigan Law Review
The American Law Institute will soon be five years old. It is not necessary here to describe its aims and purposes; every law teacher knows of the state of our law that brought the Institute into being, and of the high hopes which are entertained of its influence and accomplishments. Beginnings have been made in Trusts and Property. Substantial progress has been shown in Agency, Contracts, Conflict of Laws, and Torts, as well as the code of criminal procedure. We have by this time an appreciable amount of the product of the body which is restating our law. How can …
Have The Bench And Bar Anything To Contribute To The Teaching Of Law?, Learned Hand
Have The Bench And Bar Anything To Contribute To The Teaching Of Law?, Learned Hand
Michigan Law Review
The teaching of lawyers is indeed as distinct a vocation from the practice of law, as law is from engineering or science. You have of recent years come practically to recognize it by your increasing insistence upon the teacher's exclusive devotion to his calling, so that I suppose not only has the well-worn practitioner wholly disappeared, who from his semi-antiquation delivers a course of lectures, but the part time teacher even in the prime of his powers is more and more evidently doomed. I cannot see this change as anything but happy and advantageous. If for no other reason I …

The Law School And The Professional Tradition, Roscoe Pound
The Law School And The Professional Tradition, Roscoe Pound
Michigan Law Review
Only historians know that Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin were once, at least in legal theory, governed by the Custom of Paris. That fact has not left a mark upon the actual law of any of those jurisdictions. Nor is the reason far to seek. In the pioneer days of the French occupation of this part of North America there was little scope for such law as is to be found in books. There was need only for a rude administration of offhand justice in the simple concerns of a frontier society. And had there been need for anything more, the …
The Needs Of A Law School, Henry M. Bates
The Needs Of A Law School, Henry M. Bates
Michigan Law Review
A wide and remarkable experience, sound judgment, fine legal scholarship, and great intellectual ability have combined to make Mr. Cook's gift and his plan for this School unique in the annals of legal e4ucation. Beautiful and satisfying as are the buildings which he has erected, still more important and still more likely to produce good results for law and the administration of justice, is the plan into which he has put so much thought.
The Next Task Of The Law School, James Parker Hall
The Next Task Of The Law School, James Parker Hall
Michigan Law Review
When, last December, I first saw these beautiful buildings, I could only exclaim: "It is a dream--a wonderful dream come true!" There was nothing original about this exclamation. You have all said or thought the same thing every time you have approached this quadrangle. In my mouth this trite but spontaneous utterance was but part of the res gestae of being conducted through the group by Dean Bates, the proud and intimate spirit of this architectural magnificence. And now, when I am privileged to return and to share in the dedication to the high service of man of this miracle …
A Letter To The Lawyers' Club, William W. Cook
A Letter To The Lawyers' Club, William W. Cook
Michigan Law Review
In view of the fact that Pollock and Maitland do not go beyond the time of Edward I and Reeves no further than Elizabeth's reign, Professor Holdsworth, in publishing a revision and extension to the eighteenth century of his well known work, ventures to point out that it is "the first continuous history of English law that has ever been written". And so it is, to the point to which he has carried it thus far. One more volume at least is promised in the near future; while it is to be hoped that subsequent contributions may ultimately appear. "From …

Graduate Study In Law At Michigan
Graduate Study In Law At Michigan
Michigan Law Review
A notable advance in the organization of graduate study in law at Michigan has been achieved recently in the approval by the Board of Regents of a new program prepared and submitted by the Law Faculty. The program is the result of several years of experimentation and study. The word "program'', indeed, should not be permitted to give a false impression. In substantial measure the recent action only approves a new and more adequate description of such advanced work in law as the Law School is not only now prepared to offer but is actually offering for a limited class …

According to the advance extract of the 18th annual report of the president of the Carnegie Foundation recently published, of the 146 law schools in this country, eight now require at least three years of preparatory college work and two more require either three years of collegiate work or two years of collegiate work and four years of law school training.
The Law Book Of The Future, William W. Cook
The Law Book Of The Future, William W. Cook
Michigan Law Review
In an article published in November, 1922, in the American Bar Association Journal on the "Power and Responsibility of the American Bar and its Relations to Democratic Institutions," the author pointed out the achievements of the profession in developing the law to meet the political and industrial needs of the American people. There is still other important work for the profession to do. Blackstone's and Kent's Commentaries have been outgrown and there is an imperative demand for a comprehensive and practical American treatise on all law for the use of law students and lawyers, legislators and the educated classes generally. …
An Inquiry Concerning The Functions Of Procedure In Legal Education, Edson R. Sunderland
An Inquiry Concerning The Functions Of Procedure In Legal Education, Edson R. Sunderland
Michigan Law Review
Procedure has always been the bête noire of the law school teacher. No other subject has developed such divergent opinions or such endless debates. None recurs with such periodic frequency and in no field of legal pedagogy has discussion seemed so barren of results. Three different general sessions of the Association of American Law Schools during the last ten years have been devoted largely or wholly to the subject of teaching procedure, and yet no substantial progress seems to have been made toward a standardized scheme of treatment. Individual teachers and schools have their individual views and policies, and they …

Objective Law Examinations, George P. Costigan Jr
Objective Law Examinations, George P. Costigan Jr
Michigan Law Review
In an article on "Objective Law Examinations" in the December, 1921, number of the ILIINOIS LAW REvIww,' Professor Albert Kocourek gives a somewhat idealistic, and to the present writer an unconvincing, argument for that kind of law school examination where the student is to answer merely Yes, No, or-this last to a limited number of questions-O, (unanswered). The argument is largely statistical, being based on an experiment with fifty-three (53) law students, mainly, if not entirely, of the first year, in the course known at Northwestern as Chattels I, and with fifty-six (56) college students, unacquainted presumably with any but …

The Negotiable Instruments Law Annotated by Joseph Doddridge Brannon, Professor of Law Emeritus, in Harvard University. Third Edition. The W. H. Anderson Company, Cincinnati, 1920, pp. lxvi, 662. That this is the third edition of this compilation, indicates a favorable reception by law book buyers. In this case the demand should not be confinned to lawyers, for the book would be of particular value to bankers and others of the lay world who have to deal with commercial paper. And for such readers, who seek practical information as to the characteristics and qualities of particular instruments as affected by the …

Among all the writings that have appeared on the problem of preserving the order of world society, the most searching and the most illuminating is Hart's Bulwarks of Peace. Particularly in connection with any consideration of the plan of the Paris Covenant of the League of Nations, it compellingly arrests attention.

This volume was prepared under the supervision of Colonel J. H. Wigmore. It was designed especially for the use of the Students' Army Training Corps, and was available for that purpose just about the time those Corps were" disbanded. The volume, however, is a very valuable source-collection for the use of anyone interested in Military and War-time Law,-the two parts into which the volume is divided. The first part includes legislative enactments, with extracts from the English Mutiny Act of 1688, from the United States Constitution, all of the Articles of War, and numerous extracts from the Revised Statutes of …

The Death of Professor Knowlton - The loss to the Law School and to his colleagues of the law faculty in the death of Jerome Cyril Knowlton cannot be expressed. For thirty-one years, the longest period of active service ever given by any man to this Law School, Mr. Knowlton was an effective factor in the development of the institution and in the moulding of the character and the legal ideas and ideals of the thousands of graduates who have passed through the Law School into the service of community and state and country, at the bar, upon the bench, …

The Death of Dean Thayer - The death on September 15th of Ezra Ripley Thayer, dean of the Harvard Law School, has brought irreparable loss not only to the institution which he had brilliantly served, but to the cause of legal education throughout the country. Dean Thayer was the rarely fine product of conditions and environment which have been perhaps the most richly fruitful that our nation has known. The son of a most distinguished legal scholar and teacher, he grew up in association with much that was best and most inspiring in Massachusetts and in the great university from …
Teaching Of Practice And Procedure In Law Schools, Edson R. Sunderland
Teaching Of Practice And Procedure In Law Schools, Edson R. Sunderland
Michigan Law Review
Criticism of the law, the courts, and the legal profession is one of the popular customs of the day. So constantly and so insistently are we told of the shortcomings of the Bench and Bar that it is hard to hold one's footing against the sweep of the current. One might well suppose from all the clamor that the ancient respectability of the law had suddenly been discovered to be a monstrous pretense, a fraud on the innocence and trustfulness of the people, a cloak for injustice and a mask for oppression.
The Late Ashley Pond, Michigan Law Review
The Late Ashley Pond, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
On January 12th last, Ashley Pond died at his home in Detroit in his eighty-third year. By his death the University has lost one of its oldest and most distinguished alumni. Mr. Pond was graduated from the Literary Department in 1854. After studying law for a little over two years, he was admitted to the Detroit Bar. At that Bar he continued to practice for about half a century, and when he died was its senior member. Mr. Pond's career is an example to every lawyer and an encouragement to every young man of humble origin and narrow means. When …

American Law School Degrees, James Parker Hall
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
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, …
