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.

Clinical Education-A Golden Dancer?, W. Wade Berryhill

Law Faculty Publications

Clinical education is acclaimed by its advocates to be the salvation of the wayward and sick soul of the legal profession. Others, the staunch defenders of the more traditional academic methods, believing it to be nothing more than spit and sealing wax, shake their heads and murmur "is nothing sacred?" The purpose of this paper is to take a good "look behind the paint" of clinical education.

[Annual] Report of the Dean of the School of Law, 1954-1983

• In March, 1977, the School was subject to a reinspection by a team consisting of Dean Ray Patterson of Emory University School of Law, Assistant Dean Peter deL. Swords of Columbia University School of Law, Professor Cameron Allen, the Head Librarian of Rutgers University School of Law, and Byron Attridge, Esq., a practicing lawyer from Atlanta, Georgia. This team acted jointly for the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. The last reinspection of the School took place in 1968.
• Their report was highly complimentary to the School but called attention to three major areas of concern: …

Learning The Law-Thoughts Toward A Human Perspective, Thomas L. Shaffer, Robert S. Redmount

Journal Articles

The history of American legal education is notable for a sparsity of ideas on how to convey learning about law. There has been even less focal understanding of what learning is and what it takes to establish a process which will prepare lawyers for their profession. A window on this history was provided in historical survey by Alfred Z. Reed in 1921 and, more recently, by Professors Preble Stolz and Calvin Woodward. It is principally their accounts of eighteenth and nineteenth century developments that we here briefly integrate and summarize. The perspective-a consideration of legal education in terms of social …

A Review of An American Experience in Roman Law by A. Arthur Schiller

Studying Law As The Possibility Of Principled Action, Gordon A. Christenson

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

The study of law may be viewed as the critical analysis of a system of logically coherent rules governing action. In the United States, the responsibility for legal education has traditionally fallen upon the law schools. Within the legal profession and law schools a restive spirit now prevails, seeking to further clarify the meaning of that responsibility.' Two responses appear in the law schools, for good or ill.

Some Professorial Fallacies About Rights, John M. Finnis

Journal Articles

Why do students usually get into a muddle when analysing legal situations in Hohfeldian terms? What is the use of trying to straighten out the muddles, and of teaching Hohfeldian analysis at all? The short answer to the first question is that Hohfeld was clear-headed in applying his scheme, but because of his writing style and his odd views about definition was regrettably gnomic about the meaning and inter-relations of the terms of that scheme. The short answer to the second question is that clear-headed familiarity with Hohfeld's scheme can bring with it an awareness of the questions regularly begged …

The Three Faces Of Meade, Wylie H. Davis

Georgia Law Review

Y OUTH and middle-ager, I have known David Meade Feild for nigh-on thirty years. But since my first encounter with him in 1939 at Mercer University-as one of his naive freshman law students -my aggregate daily association with him has been a mere three years. Even this all-too-short span has been fragmented by events into three very different time and experience phases. My impressions of Professor Feild and his impact on me bring to mind a fabled phenomenon of human observation and reporting aptly described by a former col- league: The process is remindful of [three] blind men feeling the …

There Is A South Of Union And Freedom, Hugo L. Black

Georgia Law Review

The formal dedication of these magnificent buildings and equipment at the University of Georgia Law School is an inspiring event in which my wife and I-both native Alabamians-are particularly happy to participate. There are special reasons for our feelings. The present soil of Alabama was a part of the soil of Georgia when, even before the United States was created, your University was chartered by the Georgia General Assembly in 1785. And my ancestral ties with Georgia are even stronger than that. In April of the year 1835, in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, a few miles from where I now stand, …

Chinese Communist Law: Its Background And Development, Luke T. Lee

Michigan Law Review

It is perhaps axiomatic to state that law is more than an instrument for the settlement of disputes and punishment of wrongdoers; it is, more importantly, a reflection of the way of life and the philosophy of the people that live under it. Self-evident though the above may be, it bears repeating here, for there is a much greater need for understanding Chinese law now than ever before. China's growing ideological, political, economic, and military impact on the rest of the world would alone serve as a powerful motivation for the study of its law. Certainly, we could not even …

Law As Means To End, Thomas E. Davitt S.J.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The importance of a man can be judged by his influence on the thinking of other men. Periodically during the course of the centuries men have appeared who exercised this power to a commanding degree. The presence of "great" names in all fields of human endeavor attests to this...Such a man was Thomas Aquinas. He was a trail blazer in many regards, one of them being especially his work on law. His was the first systematically organized treatise on law and its philosophical roots, and over the years it has been recognized as a masterful accomplishment. Consequently, during succeeding generations …

Trial Of Legal Issues In Injunction Against Tort, Edgar N. Durfee

Michigan Law Review

This essay appeared in a casebook on Equitable Remedies that was used for years in mimeographed form at the University of Michigan Law School. It was never prepared for final publication by Professor Durfee himself, but the numerous changes made in his own personal copy indicate that he had given much thought to the subject. Professor John P. Dawson who had collaborated with Professor Durfee has incorporated these changes in the present text. More changes might have been made by Professor Durfee if he had planned to publish it. The editors believe that as it stands it deserves a wider …

Legal Education At Michigan, 1859-1959, Elizabeth G. Brown

Books

First opening its doors in 1859, the University of Michigan Law School has now accumulated a full century of experience in educating young men and young women for the practice of law. Two years ago, the law faculty, taking note of the approach of the Centennial year, established a research project under the financial auspices of the William W. Cook Endowment Fund, in order to engage in a serious study of all aspects of the school's activities down the years, and to prepare a complete and definitive report on this first century of history. In charge of the project and …
