Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures, Elementary and Familiar, on English Law IT is usual to speak of the laws of a country as being of two sorts, the unwritten law, and the written law: leges non scriptm; leges scriptes. In the case of England, the unwritten laws, consisting of the ancient customs and usages of the people, are called the Common Law, or the common law of the land. The written laws are the Statutes, or Acts of Parliament. These latter derive their authority from the common law. Thus, according to an ancient custom and usage, part Of the common law, an assembly called the Parliament has the most complete legislative power. Laws made by it become as completely parts of the. Law of the land as the common law itself. It is an ancient custom and usage of the people to obey acts of parliament: therefore it is a part of the common law that they are to be obeyed. They supersede the parts Of the common law with which they happen to be inconsistent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of English Law at Harvard Can English law be taught at the Universities? This question was, some sixteen years ago, raised in my inaugural lecture at Oxford. The answer then given, on theoretical grounds, was that English law could be effectively taught at the Universities by duly qualified teachers to duly intelligent students. It is now in my power to assert with confidence that my speculative conclusion is proved to be correct by the irrefutable results of American experience. Wherever the law of England prevails throughout the American continent the best instructed and the ablest lawyers have been grounded in its principles by professors. The schools of New York, of Chicago, of Ontario, of Nova Scotia, of Boston, and, above all, of Harvard, establish the fact, or (as our lawyers of the older school might put it) give plausibility to the paradox that English law can be taught at Universities, and be taught by University professors. On the other side the Atlantic, indeed, the truth of this conclusion is treated as established past dispute. It will further be admitted by every competent judge that nowhere throughout America is law taught so thoroughly as at the University of Harvard. The Harvard Law School has, compared with other institutions of the United States, an ancient history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Law IN preparing this new edition of a work which, in one form or another, has been in use among law students for the past forty years, the author has kept constantly in mind the fact that the ordinary and legitimate purpose of such students is to qualify themselves to begin the practice of the law with credit to their profession, with safety to their clients, and with profit to themselves. The young practitioner is not expected to be a legal philosopher or historian or critic, but to be able to give sound advice upon those legal questions which arise in common social and domestic life, to transact customary legal business with prudence and sagacity, and to conduct to a just issue such liu'gated cases as are likely to be confided to his care. To fit him to discharge these duties he needs an accurate and fairly extensive knowledge of the general rules and doctrines which constitute the great body of the law; a special familiarity with those departments of the law which govern the commercial transactions of the present day; and a practical training in those forms and methods of procedure which it will be his daily duty to employ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expansion of the Common Law The lectures from which this volume is named were delivered to the Law Schools of several American Universities last autumn. A few additions have been made to the original text. The address given at the request of the Harvard Law School Association for its commemoration of 1895 was not intended at the time to have any sequel, but is now prefixed to the course of 1903 as being sufficiently germane to the matter to serve as a general introduction. Familiar matters of both fact and law were necessarily taken for granted in delivering the lectures; and it does not now seem desirable to vouch authorities at large for them. References have been given only where it is thought that they may be really useful for verification or farther search.

Download or read book The Laws and Jurisprudence of England and America written by John F. Dillon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws and Jurisprudence of England and America: Being a Series of Lectures Delivered Before Yale University Othing can be less ambitious than this vol ume. The introduction to the first lecture shows the circumstances under which the lectures were given, and the scope and purpose Of the course. I have, however, added some notes in the line of further development or illustration. It might have been more artistic to have recast the whole, working the notes into the text; but if this had been done, the loss would have exceeded the gain, since the lectures thus remodelled would not have been the lectures delivered, and they would moreover have contained details not adapted to oral discourses. Besides, it is a prized privi lege Of the teacher to make use of the first per son, as this enables him to address his hearers more directly and more forcibly than in any other way. It is Of set purpose, then, that I publish the lectures in their original form. They are just what they are, and just what they purport to be, and nothing more, - namely, discourses to a class Of law students, given largelyto inspire a patriotic and just regard for the laws and institutions of our country, to incite enthu siasm in the study Of the law rather than to im part technical instruction, to awaken inquiry rather than to satisfy it upon subjects Of vital moment to the profession lying somewhat outside Of the Ordinary legal curriculum. It is due to me and to the reader that the book be judged from this point Of View and no other. While it therefore disclaims any pretension to profound research or exhaustive treatment, as inconsistent with its main purpose, it deals, nevertheless, with the interest ing subjects Of legal education; trial by jury; the Origin, development, and characteristics Of the common law; written constitutions, legislation, case-law, the law reports, the doctrine Of judicial precedent, codification, and law reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Law, Its Origin, Growth and Function: Being a Course of Lectures Prepared for Delivery Before the Law School of Harvard University After his retirement from active practice, he determined to devote a portion of his leisure to writing a somewhat more important and complete expression of his views on these topics than had been contained in his former pamphlets and addresses but at the suggestion of President Eliot, of Harvard University, he substituted for this proposed work a series of lectures to be delivered before the Law School of that University. I find among his papers a brief memorandum in his handwriting, evidently written before this change of purpose and intended as a suggestion for a preface to the work which he at first designed to write. It is endorsed By Way of a Possible Preface, and is as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
