Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Life of David Dudley Field "For at least a third of a century," said the late Mr. Austin Abbott, "David Dudley Field was the most commanding figure at the American bar." This alone would justify, if it did not demand, some record of his long and splendid career, while the traditions of his great arguments still linger in the memories of the survivors of his generation. But he was not merely "a figure at the bar," however "commanding"; he was a reformer and reconstructor of the law itself; in which the work that he did cannot be appreciated without some knowledge of the unsatisfactory state of the law when he entered upon the practice of his profession. In the colonial period of American history, our law was the common law of England, that dates back to the time of Alfred the Great, and was overlaid with the accumulations of a thousand years. The Acts of Parliament were scattered through hundreds of volumes. There were whole libraries of decisions of the courts - decisions that were often so contradictory as to create hopeless confusion.
