Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of the Common Law HE dartmouth alumni lectureships have been established upon the theory that the influence of the intellectual life of the Col lege ought to be available, in some degree at least, to others than those who are in residence as students, - as for example, to graduates who are solicitous for some contact with the College which will help to maintain the breadth of their scholarship; or to friends who are interested in the kinds of intellectual interest for which the College wishes to stand. The suggestion of the particular form which the project of these lectureships has taken was made in my inaugural address in 1916 when statement was made as follows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of the Common Law is one of Roscoe Pound's most notable works. It contains the brilliant lectures he delivered at Dartmouth College in the summer of 1921. It is a seminal book embodying the spiritual essence of sociological jurisprudence by its leading prophet. This work is both a celebration of the common law and a warning for common law judges and lawyers to return to and embrace the pragmatism and judicial empiricism that define and energize the common law. The two fundamental doctrines of the common law, Pound writes, are the doctrine of precedents and the doctrine of supremacy of law. In an earlier preface, Justice Arthur J. Goldberg writes that The Spirit of the Common Law will always be treasured by judges and lawyers for its philosophy and history, but more importantly for Roscoe Pound's optimism and faith in the capacity of law to keep up with the times without sacrificing fundamental values. It is a faith built upon the conviction that the present is not to be divorced from the past, but rather that the past and the present are to be built upon to make a better future. Neil Hamilton and Mathias Alfred Jaren provide a biographical introduction to the book. They discuss the various influences upon Pound's scholarly pursuits and they analyze many of his writings that led up to The Spirit of the Common Law. This volume is a necessary addition to the libraries of legal scholars and professionals, sociologists, and philosophers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Genius of the Common Law The purpose of the Carpentier Lectures is not to furnish text-books for ordinary professional use, and I have there fore not thought it proper to cite authorities except for a few historical illustrations too lately published to be familiar, or otherwise off the usual lines. Once or twice I have named a leading case for the convenience of learned readers. I do not think I have positively stated anything as law which will not be well known to any such reader, and easily verified if desired; and the same remark applies to the historical data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of Our Laws A great many people take an interest in the law without being lawyers or litigants or specialists of any sort. They like to understand something of what is going on around them, and for their law they have to trust to snatches from the newspapers. Though, possibly, both writer and reader are well-educated persons, the exact point or points on which the report turns is almost certain to be missed, for neither has any training to catch it. Hence the frequent exclamation, I can't understand this case; however could such a decision have been arrived at? And, of course, the bewilderment is greater where there is any desire even to scratch beneath the surface. Yet between the formal study of the law and the perusal of the daily newspaper there is no satisfaction for the amateur reader, better, perhaps, known as the general reader. A professed lawyer, of course, would not dream of trusting an ordinary newspaper report (with a few exceptions) for practical purposes, even for his own guidance; for he requires at least a certain degree of accuracy, and may require the highest.

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.
