Secondary Legal Sources: A Selected Subject Bibliography Of Treatises, Looseleaf Services And Form Books Third Edition, Peter C. Schanck, Carole Hango-Hanlon, Leah M. Gunn

Law Library Publications

The third edition of this bibliography is a subject arrangement of selected English language treatises, looseleaf services and form books. Most all of the works listed were published in this country and all are in the collection of this law library.

Our object in revising this bibliography has been to present to the law students of The University of Michigan a reasonably thorough listing of useful and current secondary sources covering domestic and international law.

France: Libraries Of Law And Librarians, Claire M. Germain

UF Law Faculty Publications

The author, who is a French national, made a curious discovery not long ago. Apparently nothing has been published concerning French law libraries and law librarians. In fact, very little had been written on French libraries at all. The thought of filling this gap slowly developed, prompted by a desire to contribute to the field of international law librarianship (and also perhaps by a touch of nationalistic pride!).

This paper is the result of a survey of French libraries with substantial law collections, undertaken in the winter of 1978-79 in Paris and the province. Long conversations were pursued with French …

On The Relevance Of Philosophy To Law: Reflections On Ackerman's Private Property And The Constitution, Philip E. Soper

Articles

To turn to moral philosophy these days for help in trying to decide "what to do" is a bit like turning to recipe books for help in a famine. One soon discovers that most philosophers avoid ultimate questions about actual choices in actual cases, preferring to concentrate instead on a preliminary problem: how to go about thinking about what to do. One also discovers that philosophers who have written about this preliminary problem of the structure of moral inquiry are neatly divided, as logically they must be, into precisely two camps: those who do and those who do not think …

Annotated Bibliography 1965-78, Michigan Journal Of International Law

Michigan Journal of International Law

Dumping frequently has been treated in legal literature as a subject comfortably reviewed, from abstract economic theory to administrative practice, within a single law review article or note. As a consequence, many authors produce lengthy overviews, often duplicating the efforts of others. The annotations point to areas of particular strengths and weaknesses in the legal writing on the subject from 1965 to 1978. This allows the reader to move quickly to the leading discussions, without undue labor on repetitive pieces. The topical headings should not be considered airtight compartments. As noted, many authors attempt to cover every aspect of the …

A Personal View Of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo: Recollections Of Four Cardozo Law Clerks, Joseph L. Rauh Jr., Melvin Siegel, Ambrose Doskow, Alan M. Stroock

Cardozo Law Review

A personal view of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo and his approach to the law is perhaps best provided by those who worked under his direct tutelage. Four men who served as law clerks to the Justice during his six year term on the Supreme Court agreed to share their reflections on that experience in this commemorative volume. Joseph Rauh, the Justice's last law clerk, wrote first; his recollections were then circulated among the other three: Melvin Siegel, Ambrose Doskow and Alan M. Stroock. Their responses to Mr. Rauh's memories of the Justice and his judicial style present intriguing contrasts and …

Cook, Oliphant And Yntema: The Scientific Wing Of American Legal Realism, S. N. Verdun-Jones

Dalhousie Law Journal

For many years I have been asking myself the question: In what way or ways is it possible to study law scientifically? This has, naturally, led to an examination both into the nature of scientific knowledge, more especially in those fields in which scientific study has won its greatest successes- such as physics, chemistry, astronomy- and into the possibilities of developing similar bodies of knowledge in the field of what are commonly called the social sciences. W. W. Cook.' Walter Wheeler Cook, Herman Oliphant, and Hessel Yntema formed a distinctly homogeneous trio among the widely divergent band of legal scholars …

Reference Guides To State Legal Bibliography: A Composite Review, Marvin R. Anderson

Vanderbilt Law Review

At present, the curriculum at almost all law schools includes a first-year course teaching the fundamentals of the legal method.The practical value of these courses, however, has been questioned. One criticism of the current course structure is the overemphasis placed on the basics of legal research and legal writing to the detriment of legal bibliography.More pertinent to this review is another practice of these classes-the use of certain national-in-scope legal research texts that cannot treat fully the many special characteristics of published legal materials in the various states. To know that states have similar publishing practices for codes, session laws, …

Jury Size And The Peremptory Challenge, Richard Lempert

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

The article was orginally submitted jointly with Dr. Jay Schulman as prepared testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Improvement of Judicial Machinery. The subcommittee was considering Senate Bill 2074, an omnibus bill which would have required all United States District Courts to switch from twelve to six member juries in civil cases and would have decreased the number of available peremptory challenges in civil cases from three to two. Upon completion of the hearings on this bill, these provisions were deleted from the version sent to the full Committee. It should be noted that most District Courts by local …

Normalized Legal Drafting And The Query Method, Layman E. Allen, C. Rudy Engholm

Articles

Normalized legal drafting is a mode of expressing ideas in statutes, regulations, contracts, and other legal documents in such a way that the syntax that relates the constituent propositions is simplified and standardized. This "normalization" results in documents that are easier to understand in the dual sense that they can be read faster and more accurately than corresponding documents that are not normalized. The query method is a technique for familiarizing learners with normalized drafting and providing practice in some of the easier aspects of doing it.
