Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cornell University: Address on Legal Education Gentlemen of the State Bar Association: I have chosen on this occasion, and in performance of the annual duty imposed upon your president, to submit to your attention some thoughts rather practical than academic, and to busy myself more with the facts which surround and compel us than with the theories which may be built upon them. The objects of this Association are very clearly stated in its constitution thus: "to cultivate the science of jurisprudence, to promote reform in the law, to facilitate the administration of justice, to elevate the standard of integrity, honor, and courtesy in the legal profession, and to cherish the spirit of brotherhood among the members thereof." These are all high and worthy purposes; and a study of our records will show that they have constantly been kept in view, and a genuine progress toward the ultimate and coveted result has been made. If that progress has not gone as fast and as far as one might wish and the journey´s end is still in the distance it is worth our while to measure the obstacles which have delayed us and the effort necessary for their removal; and it is one of those obstacles, which the duties of my later life have forced upon my attention, to which I desire now to direct yours. It is obvious that none of the purposes which we are organized to promote can be accomplished except by influences operating upon the members of the Bar themselves. If jurisprudence is to be cultivated it must be by individual lawyers contributing each his separate study to the general advance.
