Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in American Elementary Law For a number of years I have been considering the matter of Elementary Law, trying to solve three problems concerning it: First. Whether there is any such thing. Second. If so, what is it? Third. If there is, and it can be identified, how can it be taught? On the first point, I am thoroughly convinced. I no longer doubt that there is matter which may properly be called Elementary Law, and that it is not an ideality only, but is of the most intense interest and of the highest practical value. Indeed, so interesting and far-reaching is it, that, in my judgment, nothing else in the study or practice of the law is to be compared to it. On the second point, I have changed my mind materially since I began to give the matter thoughtful consideration. On this question there are three lines of thought. The first does not regard Elementary Law as a subject or matter distinct in itself, but simply as a method of presenting to the student the ordinary rules of law in nontechnical language, a process of simplifying each rule by changing the terms in which it is usually expressed, and thus, without systematizing or co-ordinating the body of rules in any way, to make each more easy of apprehension by the student. An adequate book prepared on this conception would comprise a complete enumeration of all the authoritative rules of conduct prescribed in the government whose laws it sought to represent, stated simply, but arbitrarily, without showing any relations between them, or any of the reasons on which they are based. The second line of thought gives more recognition to the idea of the separateness of Elementary Law, yet does not admit this fully; and it also deals with it more as a method of presenting the established rules of law than as a distinct substantive matter. The method employed is a much more thoughtful and helpful one than that in the first school. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Institutes of American Law, Vol. 1 of 2 Most lawyers have felt the want of a preliminary work to serve the young American student as a guide in the labyrinth of jurisprudence; as an instructor to give him a general view of the several parts of this judicial science; to mark the objects of each, and to point out the natural dependence which unites them; a work tending to establish a method which should be adopted in the study of the law; to point out the numerous links of the chain which unites the ancient with the modern law, which binds the past with the present, and which by its nature must for ever remain indestructible. A work which would thus elevate the science of the law in the sight of youth, and impress a character of unity upon it, would exercise a happy influence on the minds of the students, develop their moral and intellectual faculties, and be a blessing to them. But it is far less difficult to describe what the legal edifice should be, and to state what is required for its construction, than to select the materials of which it should be composed, and to make such a disposition of them in the building as would render the structure at once solid, elegant, and every way fitted for the purpose for which it is intended. On entering on his profession, the American student is discouraged by being obliged to study laws which are not his own, and which do not belong to the present age, except as matter of history. It requires an effort to read even the elegant Blackstone, and, when studied, it must be forgotten, because the laws on which that author has so beautifully commented are not the laws which the young aspirant seeks to know - they are not those of his country. It is true, noble efforts have been made by American writers to explain our laws, and to them the profession must be greatly indebted; but the commentaries which have been so liberally bestowed are better adapted to the use of those who are already good lawyers, than to teach one who has every thing to learn. The author cannot hope to have made a perfect work, and supplied, in this respect, all the deficiencies and the wants of the profession; his aim has been an approximation to what a work should be which might, in some degree, deserve the title of Institutes of American Law. He has endeavored to reduce the whole to a strict method, and, by a correct classification, to impress upon the mind of the student the objects of his inquiry; for, what is well classified is half known. It seemed to him that jurisprudence, as much as any other science, required this method; and while all kinds of human knowledge are now taught in this manner the law should not be an exception.

Download or read book Elementary Law written by Amherst D. Tyssen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Law: For the General Public Acts of Parliament contain a clause specifying their short title, and to many others short titles were given by an Act passed in 1896, called The Short Titles Act, 1896. Each Act has also a full title, consisting of the heading prefixed to the Act. The references to decided cases indicate the Reports in which they are to be found. The Reports have full names, consisting in many cases of the names of the reporters who published them but there are certain recognized abbreviations by which they are all known. Printed lists of these abbrevia tions are to be found in all law libraries, and lawyers soon become familiar with them, so that there is no need to embody them in any law book. In composing this book it has been the writer's endeavour to use ordinary language as far as possible, and to give an explanation of each legal term the first time that it is used. An index including all terms so explained will be found at the end of the book; so that any one coming across an unexplained term in any part of the book, may turn to the index and be directed to the page on which an explanation will be found.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to American Law But I have entitled this book, an Introduction to American Law, and I may be called upon to vindicate the propriety of this title. I confess then, that in some minor respects, it may not be equally adapted to all parts of the Union; but my excuse is, that without being ten times as large as it is, 'it could not have been made so. If I had possessed the knowledge, I could not, within any reasonable compass, have referred to the local law of twenty-six different states; and yet local references were occasionally necessary, in order to exhibit an entire system. I was compelled, therefore, in such cases, to make choice of some particular state; and I naturally selected that state in which the lectures were read. But these local references, in an out line so general as this, are not so frequent as to detract materially from the general adaptation of the book, to students in other states; and in case of diversity, the necessary corrections can be easily made. At all events, the diversity is less between the different states, than between any one state and England; and therefore something is cer tainly gained even on the score of general adaptation. And here let me anticipate an objection of another sort. It may be said, that in attempting to teach what the law is, I have dwelt too much upon what I think it should be; or, in other words, that in a work professedly didactic, I have speculated too much upon projects of reform. To this objection I have two answers. In the first place, I have never undertaken to show what the law ought to be, without first stating what it is. While therefore the primary end of instruo tion is obtained, the mind of the student is at the same time excited to compare, examine and discuss the principles in question; and thus impress them the more deeply upon his memory. And in the second place, if the suggestions I have ventured to make be sound, they can not be made too early, because bad laws are the very worst of bad things; and if these suggestions be not sound, they can do no harm, because the antidote accompanies the bane; nay the provision com plained of will inspire increased confidence in the mind of the student from having been unsuccessfully assailed. But I cannot help believing that many of the proposed alterations would be decided improvements. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to American Law According to the custom of the times, a preface usually takes the form of an apology for adding to the multitude of books; and I shall so far comply with this custom, as to explain my reasons for making this publication. While pursuing my legal studies, I found myself much in the condition of a mariner without chart or compass. I experienced at every step the want of a first-book upon the law of this country. I felt that much time would have been saved, if I could have commenced my course with a systematic outline of American, instead of English law; for as the two systems differ in nearly as many points as they correspond, and as I had no means of distinguishing between the applicable and the inapplicable, I necessarily acquired many false impressions, the more difficult to be subsequently corrected, because they were first impressions. In a word, I came to the conclusion that fewer facilities have been provided for studying the elementary principles of American jurisprudence, than for perhaps any other branch of useful knowledge. And these results of my experience as a student, have acquired additional confirmation from my experience as a teacher. In the year 1833, I became connected with the Cincinnati Law School, at first a private institution, but afterwards a department of the Cincinnati College; and here I was hourly called upon to remove the doubts and difficulties, which I had myself encountered. In order to do this in the most convenient and effectual manner, and without a thought of publication, I commenced the preparation of the following lectures, which I read to the students, as an introduction or accompaniment to the usual course of legal study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conflict of Laws There are three general systems of legal instruction in use in American Law Schools - the lecture, the case, and the text method. Regardless of the relative superiority of one to the others, the author is convinced, after seven years teaching experience, that no one of these methods alone is adequate to sound, thorough instruction in the law. In his presentation of this difficult subject in the class-room, he has produced satisfactory results only by a combination of text, cases, and lecture in proper pro portion. The value of a text in stating the principles of the 1a7 in brief form can not be denied. The necessity of reading leading decisions that support and apply those principles is indisputable. And finally, there is the general discussion in class; the Instructor When neces sary, expounding the subject, imparting the benefits of his knowledge and experience and observation, thereby arousing and sustaining interest in the work; these are the things that elevate instruction from the mechanical to the intellectual. In presenting this text therefore, the author makes no defense. He has embodied the fundamentals of the sub jeot in the text in simple form. He has scrupulously selected the leading decisions and included them in the notes, Where they are identified by large conspicuous cita tion. Finally, instead of merely stating the law, he has by clear simple language explained it, so as to reproduce, as far as possible, the full value of the class instruction. It is this very feature, it is believed, that Will commend it for Law School purposes to Instructor and class alike.
