AN ACCOUNT OF A COURSE IN Problems of Contemporary Legislation The Subject The subjects of inquiry and discussion are legal problems. This is worth emphasizing, because it must not be supposed that the course is intended or allowed to introduce into the law school curriculum any research in the economic, social, or political field as such. The materials concern the American lawyer's profession as he finds it today and in prospect. And they concern topics that the student has already met in the usual courses, in their judicial and not in their legislative aspect. The list of topics in the printed List of Topics and References sufficiently shows this feature. Each of them involves one or more well-known rules or body of rules already familiar as part of the present law. Its aptness to present conditions has been questioned. The problem is, not merely to ascertain the validity of the criticism, but to determine what specific changes of rule would be needed to meet any criticism that may be found valid. l- Thus, the work of the course involves a review of the existing rule or rules, a precision of its defects, and a shaping of its changes. The work involves materials which are as distinctly legal ( in the sense familiar to American lawyers) as the materials of any lecture course. And it constantly reveals to the student how merely partial has been his grasp of the rule while he was studying it in only its static and not its dynamic aspect. The topics vary, of course, in the extent to which existing decisions and statutes form the main part of the discussion. But in each of them the problem is primarily a lawyer's problem, e. g., such topics as the Income Tax, the Minimum Wage, and the like, are strictly excluded. 1 �The Object To put into convincing words the multiple object of the course is not easy. But it must be explained at the outset what it is not . . It is not a "seminar" for the purpose of conveying information on the pros and cons of any one of the topics. Some colleges probably have such courses. They should not be mistaken in purpose for this one. I. A main purpose is to open the mind of the young lawyer to the thought that dozens of important legal rules have a legislative aspect, which he today ought to reckon with. The course aims to make him sense this. Having been kept strictly down ( in the usual curriculum) to an analysis of the decisions, their history and their logical connections, iff the effort to ascertain merely what the law is (not what it ought to be), and to argue in lawyerlike fashion towards the logical result of prior precedents applied to new cases, he tends inevitably to think of law exclusively in this aspect. And he must now be initiated into the other aspect. How necessary is to be that other aspect, for the skilful leadership of the profession in the coming generation, need not be urged here. Those teachers who do not feel it keenly will take no interest in this course. Those who do will feel it invaluable for the training of the coming generation of leaders at the baL This object then is not to convey information on important topics. It is to introduce the advanced student ( i. e. at a stage of his legal education when it is safe to do so) to a new way of thinking about law. To attain genuinely to that understanding, the natural and sufficient method is for him to spend some time in thinking over and discussing with others a few such topics. After a short season of such experience, he becomes inoculated. He has sensed-and will thereafter in his professional career not lose this sensing- the legislative possibilities of his law. He is groomed to take readily his part-if Destiny has any for himin the legislative activities of the near future. The main object of the course is accomplished. That object may be somewhat intangible now; but it is of profound consequence to the profession. 2. A secondary object is to familiarize the young man with the sources of research for legislative .discussion of the existing law. The 'best of students are often naively unfamiliar with them. To illustrate: A member of the class once chose for his topic "The Abolition of the Death Penalty." He had found plenty of material; . had marshalled the statutes; had sum- �marized the statistics, etc. But at a prior consultation it appeared that in Kansas ( let us say), where the penalty had been abolished and then restored, he had found nothing about the interim experience. It was suggested that he had better look into the governor's messages for that period; and this simple· resource had never occurred to him. The helplessness of the ordinary educated person in turning to seek for the sources of facts and arguments on a legal problem is greater than might be supposed. To initiate the embryo lawyer into an acquaintance with the extent and variety of reliable sources for this purpose is a real service to the profession. 3. Another secondary object is to reveal to the young lawyer the importance of skill in making a concise informal presentation of his cherished convictions to a group who must be persuaded. In many and many an emergency of a lawyer's career these two features-brevity and informality-are more vital than we commonly reflect. Whether it be a board of directors, a city council committee, a citizens' meeting, or a client's consultatioq-these conditions sternly limit the advocate full of his subject. He ought to have an illuminating experience before the reality is upon him. In this course, the part1c1pants, who heckle the chairman, have an opportunity to observe how rare is the required talent, and how needful its cultivation. One of the features often gratefully spoken of is this experience of the difficulty of making all one's points effectively for a large subject in a limited time and subject to interruption. ! 4. Incidentally, no doubt, a benefit of the course is a rather broad scope of information on the actual problems of contemporary legislation. But if the course were conducted primarily with this view, it would easily degenerate into a "seminar," in which a "paper" is read by one, and the professor then criticizes, while the other members sit by in respectful a~d industrious silence. And this is not what the course is intended to be. The Methods How, then, is the course conducted? There are a good many details, as developed "in the sevenyears' tradition. Perhaps no one of them is essential. But they all fit together. The general spirit can best be told by saying that the class pretends that it is a legislative committee, and the chairman for the day is laying before them a proposal for their approval. 3 �Of course, the idea of a legislative committee is not strictly carried out. There is no legislative machinery, not the least; the chairman is each member of the class in turn and the professor sits along with the rest like an ordinary member; there is no draft of a bill; and there is merely a straw vote at the end, to satisfy curiosity as to the persuasive effect of the chairman's presentation. And now a little more in detail. I. Schedule of Meetings. The class meets once a week, for a session of an hour and three-quarters. The meetings begin in the second term, or in December, or in October (if enough members have prepared, as chairmen, beforehand in summer time). The List of Topics having been posted long before, each member selects his own; and at an early preliminary meeting a schedule of dates is made up, by lot or by agreement. 2. Preparation. Each member finds in the List of References enough material to give him an ample start in the sources: Industrious ones find more or less additional material. The sources are studied; the instructor is consulted as much or as little as desired, but only in regard to finding materials. Notes are prepared as fully as each one cares. One week before each meeting, the -chairman for that meeting distributes to each member a typewritten summary of his ( Samples of such summaries expected order of discourse. This summary are printed at the end of this leaflet.) must follow one rule only, viz., its details must be grouped under three heads : I. What are the alleged abuses, shortcomings, defects, of the present law? II. What are the remedies anywhere proposed? III. What is the remedy favored by the chairman'? U.;ually some brief history of the subject prefaces the first topic. 3. Meetings. The member whose topic is scheduled for the day takes the chair. Other members, including the professor, sit around a long table. Entire informality prevailsjust as in any committee meeting of friends. The chairman may have full notes prepared, besides his Summary, but he must not read anything-except an occasional quotation from an authority. His exposition is strictly oral. He allots its topics so that he would take only thirty or forty minutes, if uninterrupted. But he has never gone- far before a question is asked; then comes another, and others; and his forty minutes invariably expand to one hour and forty 4 �before he reaches his <inding, and often .he does not reach it. Perhaps a statement of law is doubted, perhaps a statement of fact. Perhaps an assertion now become elementary to him seems a mere assumption to one of the others, and so he must digress to establish his fundamentals. In one way or another he finds that he must satisfy all sorts of expressed doubts before he can proceed safely to the next point. And the spirit of the occasion, emphatically, is that he is an advocate of some thesis, proposing or opposing a change of law to those w hose assent is requi1·ed, and hence he must seek to satisfy all doubts, and to carry his colleagues with him for his measures. Part of his benefit to be got is this experience of persuading other thinking members of the profession on a matter of legislation proposed by him. The chairman is to control the objectors, and not let the due progress of his presentation be ·impeded. In this task he is not always as successful as he might be; but the professor can occasionally help him. At the close, the chairman submits his proposal, in concise fol,'m. Usually, it embodies three or four essential features. If he feels that one or more, not essential, may endanger his measure, he may withdraw them. But the vote must be on the whole proposal, not on each part separately. After each meeting, the chairman files with the professor a list of any references which he has found and used additionally to those on the printed list. 4. Membership. The membership is limited to sixteen; for there are sixteen weeks in a term, and one meeting a week; moreover, a larger number would not permit of informal committee spirit. If more than that number are to be allowed, two classes should be formed. If the sixteen members are selected from a larger number of applicants, the choice can be made by priority, by lot, or by scholarship record. The same professor attends all meetings. But it would be worth while for an additional one to attend; the various members of the faculty taking turns. But they should not choose meetings when a specialty of their own supplies the topic; the less they know on the special subject, the better members they are. Such is the course in Problems of Contemporary Legislation. No doubt it could be conducted profitably on a plan differing in details from the above description. The above method, however, has served well enough for carrying out the purposes set forth at the beginning of these le.aflets. 5 J. H.

Title A name given to the resource <div class="hide">Aphorismes of State</div> Description An account of the resource <p><em>Aphorismes of State</em> situates itself within the Thirty Years’ War, in which Catholics and Protestants fought for religious control throughout the Holy Roman Empire. The Protestant Frederick V, Elector of Palatine, had recently suffered a defeat against Catholic troops and, in consequence, also suffered the loss of his inherited title. An electorship carried with it more than privilege and prestige—it also carried power when it came time to select the next Emperor. Frederick’s electorship was subsequently given to Maximilian of Bavaria, who happened to be very Catholic. In this document, Protestant polemicist Thomas Scott (1580?-1626) takes aim at the “Romish Church” in response to these events. </p> <p>Our copy of Scott’s tract is an English translation from its original Dutch, and is one of four known editions published in 1624. Although the imprint simply states “Printed at Vtrech [Utrecht],” bibliographers believe it was actually printed by John Beale in London. Supporting the theory that he was, in fact, the printer of this volume, the decorative ornaments on the pages of our copy match those used by Beale in other books. Furthermore, he has been suggested as the printer of another tract written by Scott and published the same year.</p> Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context England Miscellaneous Box 8, Folder 1 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1624 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Scott, Thomas Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Paper; quarto.
