A Document with More Detail Is Attached COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL AT 150: A TIMELINE Oct. 4, 1858 Columbia Law School is founded at 37 Lafayette Place, though a course on law had been taught at Columbia College by James Kent, author of the renowned Kent Commentaries, as early as 1794. In the first half of the 19th century, law was not taught in schools but learned chiefly through an apprenticeship system. 1858-59 Thirty-three-year-old Theodore Dwight becomes the School’s first warden, the name for “dean,” and he establishes a mode of teaching known as the “Dwight Method.” Office apprenticeship, he argued, left most men with an uneven jumble of isolated legal rules, while his method gave students a systematic view of law as a whole, after which students possessed a framework to interpret the law. “Principles before practice,” was his mantra. 1866 Moot court exercises were used by Dwight in class twice a week. In addition to Dwight, other faculty members included Dr. John Ordronaux, professor of medical jurisprudence, and Charles Nairne, professor of ethics of jurisprudence. Practitioners were also invited to give lectures on special topics. 1867 The Prussian-educated Francis Lieber delivers his lectures on the laws of war, the Law School’s first offering in international law. Third U.S. Assistant Secretary of State John Bassett Moore was appointed professor of international law and diplomacy in 1891, building Columbia’s reputation in international law. Shortly after the turn of the century, Moore, along with Professor James Brown Scott and Columbia Dean Kirchwey play a major role in creating the American Society of International Law. 1873 As the City of New York begins to spread northward, the Law School moves uptown to 8 Great Jones Street. A decade later, the Law School again relocates, this time to Madison Avenue and 49th Street, where Columbia College is also moving. 1880-82 Future U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt attends Columbia Law School. Roosevelt did not graduate; it was not unusual at the time for men to receive some training at law school and then “read the law” at a firm. His distant cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, will also attend Columbia Law School for training in 1907. 1884 Charles Evans Hughes graduates. He will become governor of New York, U.S. secretary of State and a U.S. Supreme Court justice. 1890-91 After a long battle with Columbia trustees, Dwight establishes a third year of law instruction, an idea that had been entertained since the mid-1860s. Supporters had been divided on the question of whether the third year should be required for a standard bachelor’s degree in law (as a J.D. was then called), or whether a higher degree, a masters in law, should be rewarded. The former group won. However, both groups believed that a third year allowed for a more in-depth teaching of current courses, as well as of additional courses, thus better preparing graduates. 1891: William A. Keener is appointed dean. A disciple of Harvard Law School’s Professor Christopher Columbus Langdell, Keener introduces the “case method” into the curriculum. While Dwight’s method of legal instruction focused on practice skills, memorization of treatises, and moot court exercises, Langdell’s approach emphasized the study of individual cases and inductive reasoning. Faculty and students who didn’t like the change left to form New York Law School. 1892-1898 Future U.S. Supreme Court justices Benjamin Cardozo and Harlan Fiske Stone attend the Law School, as does James Dickson Carr, the school’s first black graduate. 1893 A renewed interest in legal scholarship set in motion plans to reward an advanced law degree, based on a fourth year of study. In the past 20 years, the LL.M. class has doubled in size to approximately 225 students, who hail from dozens of countries. 1897 The Law School moves to a wing of Low Library on the Morningside Heights campus. It has four floors (from top to the basement): lecture rooms; faculty offices; reading room, student conference room, dean’s office; and library stacks, club room, and smoking lounge. 1901 The Columbia Law Review is founded. It replaces the Columbia Law Times, which ceased publishing in 1893. The Law Review today receives the third highest number of submissions of any law journal in the country. Its eight annual issues consist of about 25 articles chosen from 1,500 submissions. Columbia’s student editors now publish 14 journals, including the Columbia Journal of Gender & Law, the Columbia Human Rights Law Review, and the Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts. 1901 George W. Kirchwey is appointed dean. One of his missions is to procure larger quarters for the School. In 1906-07, Columbia is the largest law school in America with 1,050 students. The cornerstone for Kent Hall, the new building, is laid in 1909. Because the study of law is expanding so rapidly, the building will suffer growing pains by the 1940s. 1910 Harlan Fiske Stone becomes dean, and continues his Wall Street practice. 1911 The Legislative Research Drafting Fund (LDRF) is established to improve the drafting of national, state and local laws under the direction of Joseph Chamberlain. The LDRF, which employs students in its research and drafting projects, takes on legislative problems of public importance, often at the request of legislative committees and executive agencies. In its early days, the LDRF addressed legislation involving, for example, child welfare laws, while today the fund’s interests include the environment, government policy in public health, and the implications of scientific advances. 1923 -1925 Future New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas and Paul Robeson, an African-American singer, actor and activist, graduate from Columbia Law School. Huger Jervey ’10, a professor of international law, replaces Dean Stone, who is appointed U.S. attorney general by Calvin Coolidge. 1924 Charles Evans Hughes is elected president of the American Society of International Law (ASIL). The Law School has continued to provide leadership to the ASIL. Professors James Scott , Philip Jessup, Oscar Schachter ’39, Louis Henkin, and Jose Alvarez have all served as president. 1920s Professors Karl Llewellyn, Herman Oliphant and others put Columbia on the cutting edge of legal study, creating an informal group of legal realists who begin to revamp the curriculum. Their belief was that law must be taught in conjunction with the social sciences if it is to remain relevant. Their work, revealed in a groundbreaking study published in 1928, transformed growing areas of law such as trade regulation, taught by Milton Handler ‘26, and corporations, taught by Adolf Berle. Handler’s casebook on trade regulation still bears his name (along with current Professor Harvey Goldschmid ’65) and remains required reading for law students. Berle’s book, The Modern Corporation and Private Property, was groundbreaking when first published in 1932 and remains relevant to this day. 1927 After a long debate, Columbia admits its first woman student. In later decades, the number of women in Columbia’s entering classes trickles in, but begins to truly ascend in the 1970s, when the first tenured female professor (and future U.S. Supreme Court Justice) Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’59 is appointed to the faculty. In 1987, women represent 45 percent of the class, and they finally outnumber men with the Class of 2003, 51 percent to 49 percent. 1928: Columbia Law School’s legal realists meet resistance when they suggest that the Law School should be reorganized as purely a community of scholars and thus devote no time to training students to be lawyers. The Great Debate, as it was known, sunders the faculty. After it is decided that Columbia will both pursue scholarship and train lawyers, several professors depart, among them Oliphant and future U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas ’25. 1928 Young B. Smith, appointed dean, continues to move the Law School into the modern age with new courses dealing with contemporary problems. Many of these courses address the emergence of areas of legal regulation – commonly known as public law or administrative law – unprecedented in complexity and scope. The need for lawyers versed in administrative law rose dramatically with the Depression, when Congress created numerous agencies to regulate employment, banking, labor relations, and other areas. Among the nation’s leading experts in administrative law was Professor Walter Gellhorn ’31, whose seminal 1941 casebook on the subject remains in print today, with current professor Peter Strauss as co-editor. Professor Herbert Wechsler’s contribution to administrative law would be in the area of criminal law, culminating in the release in 1962 of the Model Penal Code, under the aegis of the American Law Institute. 1928-29 Columbia Law School establishes an entrance exam to improve the quality of the student body and decrease the drop-out rate. Twenty years later, the Law School, led by Professor Willis L.M. Reese, approached the College Entrance Examination Board with the idea of developing and administering a new entrance exam, which would be used by Columbia and other law schools. The test, called the LSAT, does its work, though selectivity was also aided by increasing number of people applying to law schools. In 1968, the Law School took 33 percent of applicants. Today, the figure stands at approximately 15.8 percent of J.D. candidates. 1930s Columbia Law School sends a large number of faculty and graduates to Washington, D.C., to work for FDR’s New Deal and with other government agencies. Among them are professors Thomas Reed Powell (Emergency Board on the National Railway Strike), Adolf Berle (member of the “brain trust” and special counsel to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation), Milton Handler ‘26 (general counsel, National Labor Board), William O.

  • Ask the Horseman, the Dog Fancier And
    [Reprinted from THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY, May, 1913.] HEREDITY AND THE HALL OF FAME BY FREDERICK ADAMS WOODS, M.D. LECTURER ON EUGENICS IN THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY HAT is there in heredity ? Ask the horseman, the dog fancier W and the horticulturalist, and you will find that a belief in heredity is the cardinal point of all their work. Among animals and plants nothing is more obvious than the general resemblance of off­ spring to parents and the stock from which they come. With the high­ est-priced Jersey, the blue ribbon horse or a prize-winning dog, goes al­ ways the pedigree as the essential guarantee of worth. So in the general bodily features of human beings, no one questions the great force of inheritance or is surprised because those close of kin look very much alike. Similarities in eyes, nose, mouth, complexion, gestures or physique are accepted as a matter of course, and we never stop to wonder at what is in reality one of the greatest of all mysteries, the substantial repetition of the same sort of beings generation after generation. If heredity does so much in moulding the physical form, may it not do as much in determining the shape and quality of the brain, in short, the mental and moral man in his highest manifesta­ tion of genius-indeed the ego itself? Here we find differences of opinion, for man usually thinks of him­ self as in part at least a spiritual being, free to act according to his own will, unsubject to the laws of matter.

  • The Commentaries of Chancellor James Kent and the Development of An
    The Commentaries of Chancellor James Kent and the Development of an American Common Law, Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/ajlh/article/37/4/440/1789574 by guest on 30 September 2021 by CARL F. STYCHIN* The legal thought of Chancellor James Kent, as revealed in his four volume contribution to the American legal treatise literature, recently has resurfaced as a subject worthy of examination by legal historians. The importance of Kent as jurist and writer in the literary tradition of the legal treatise is beyond dispute. During his career on the bench, both on the New York Supreme Court and at Chancery, he brought an intellectual vigor to the Courts which helped shape the development of American jurisprudence. His Commentaries, which constituted a major step in the development of an indigenous treatise literature in America, enjoyed widespread popularity and went through fourteen editions. The purpose of this article is to focus on the importance of that literary contribution. The method adopted is a close textual examination to discern Kent's vision of the well ordered legal system as applied to America in the early years of the nineteenth century. James Kent was situated, with the other writers on the law of his age, in a unique position. Writing about the common law in post­ Revolutionary America, he was forced to redefine and redescribe its theo­ retical basis. Independence forced the rewriting of the story of the founda­ tions of the common law because, after the Revolution, its authority could no longer be grounded in the timelessness of English custom.

  • Experiments in Government and the Essentials of the Constitution
    Hein is Pleased to Introduce Another Classic Reprint by a Prominent American Lawyer and Statesman Experiments in Government and the Essentials of the Constitution By Elihu Root Elihu Root was an American lawyer and statesman and the 1912 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. He was the prototype for the 20th century “wise man”, who shuttled between high-level government positions in Washington, D.C. and private-sector legal practice in New York City. Root served as the U.S. Secretary of War under William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt from 1899-1904, and the U.S. Secretary of State under Theodore Roosevelt from 1905-1909. This work is comprised of two lectures, given by Root, during the 1912-1913 Stafford Little Lectures Series at Princeton, which was initially known as the Stafford Little Lectureship on Public Affairs. The fund was founded in 1899 by Henry Stafford Little, who suggested that Grover Cleveland, ex-President of the United States, be invited to deliver before the students of the University ‘such lectures as he might be disposed to give from year to year.’ Mr. Cleveland was the Stafford Little lecturer until his death in 1908. Lecturers have included Theodore Roosevelt on “National Strength and International Duty” (1917-1918); Albert Einstein on “The Meaning of Relativity” (1920-1921); Henry L. Stimson on “Democracy and Nationalism in Europe” (1933-1934); Arnold Shoenberg on “Twelve-tone music composition” and Thurgood Marshall on “The Constitutional Rights of the Negro” (1963-1964). “The people of the United States appear now to have entered upon such a period of re-examination of their system of government.

THE JUSTICE FROM BEACON HILL: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. By Liva Baker. New York: HarperCollins. 1991. Pp. xiv, 783. $29.95. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes was remarkable in many aspects; he lived a very long time1 and enjoyed enduring friendships with a great many people of historical significance in their own right. 2 Holmes' outstanding aspect, however, was his intellectual integrity. Both as a judge3 and as a legal theorist, 4 Holmes never wavered in his view that the law inevitably reflects the development and practices of society. When writing from the bench, Holmes usually deferred to legislative judgments, 5 and frequently reached results inconsistent with his own political philosophy. Consequently, both in his time and in ours, Holmes has been misunderstood: his support of social reform legislation stemmed from his opposition to judicial activism rather than from an ideological sympathy with the legislation's supporters (pp.

  • Gay Liberation Comes to Dixie—Slowly
    Book Reviews Richard L. Engstrom, Editor David J. Siemers. Presidents and Political Thought. Columbia and London: University of Missouri Press, 2009. xvi, 241 pp. ($49.95 cloth, $24.95 paper). Writing in the mid-1930s during the heyday of Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, John Maynard Keynes observed that ìThe ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distill- ing their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.î In Presidents and Political Thought, David J. Siemers looks not at ìmadmen in authorityî but at several of those presumably sane men who have held the office of President of the United States. He hopes thereby to discover the ways in which they have been influenced by the ideas of political philoso- phers and other ìacademic scribblers.î This is a tall order, for most American presidents fall far short of being philosophers or students of political philosophy. As Lord Bryce noted, acerbically but accurately, American presidents, with very few exceptions, have been ìintellectual pygmies.î Several, however, have been exceptions to that dismal rule. Accordingly, Siemersí book might better be titled Some Presidents and Political Thought or perhaps A Few Presidents and Political Thought. Siemers selects six presidents who have some claim to being men of ideas if not necessarily intellectuals: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Bill Clinton.
