He earned his undergraduate degree at Brooklyn College, his master's degree in public law and government at Columbia, and his law degree at Harvard Law School, graduating second in his class in 1953. He was then appointed to a prestigious one year clerkship with Judge Learned Hand of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, followed in 1954-1955 by a clerkship with Chief Justice Earl Warren. Highly regarded for his casebook on constitutional law, he also wrote a prize-winning biography of Learned Hand. At Stanford he was known for his passionate defense of freedom of speech on the campus.

  • INDIANA LAW REVIEW [Vol
    . A Short History of Hearsay Reform, with Particular Reference to Hoffman v. Palmer, Eddie Morgan and Jerry Frank Michael Ariens* "Few historians, however, hold themselves out as fictionists." Jerome Frank, The Place ofthe Expert in a Democratic Society 1 True, no man can be wholly apart from his fellows. But, if each of us is a promontory, yet the promontory reaches out beyond the social mainland to a point where others cannot intrude. ... It is a no-other-man's land, for others can't penetrate it, can't communicate with it. Jerome Frank, Judge Learned Hand1 Introduction On my summer vacation, I chanced upon the novel Foe by the South African writer 3 J.M. Coetzee. Foe is a modern reworking of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. In this modern retelling, Coetzee presents the story of the relation of author and subject, not the story of the adventures of a shipwrecked Englishman. In Foe, the authorial voice is that of Susan Barton, a castaway who ended up on the same island as Cruso and Friday. She, Cruso and Friday are "rescued" and taken by ship to England. En route, Cruso dies. Once in London, Susan Barton takes her story of Cruso and Friday to Daniel Foe, and finds that his interest is more in the story of her life and less in the story of Cruso 's adventures. Foe, chased by creditors, flees his house, into which Barton and Friday move. Barton later leaves, searching for Foe, whom she finally tracks down. Confronting Foe, 4 she says, "I am not a story, Mr.

  • Some Reflections on Judge Learned Hand*
    SOME REFLECTIONS ON JUDGE LEARNED HAND* JEom N. FRANK I WAS ASKED, originally, to speak of Great Judges. I objected. What, I queried, does one mean by "great"? I remembered my dispute with Professor Thorne and Justice Frankfurter about Lord Coke, once Chief Justice of England. I said Coke was a nasty, narrow-minded, greedy, cruel, arrogant, insensitive man, a time-serving politician and a liar who, by his adulation of some crabbed medieval legal doctrines, had retarded English and American legal development for centuries.1 Thorne and Frankfurter replied that I proved their case, that the duration of his influence, no matter whether good or bad, made him a great judge. I think I lost that argument. But if that be the test, then we must put on our list of "greats" such men as Attila, Robespierre, and Hitler, although most of us consider them evil. And so too as to the great among legal thinkers, lawyers, and judges. Consider Tribonian who contributed importantly to the Justinian codification of Roman law which mightily affected the legal systems of the western world. Who was Tribonian? A brilliant scholar but a corrupt judge. I concede, indeed I insist, that great men, good or evil, have often helped to shape history. Carlyle's theory of history-that all history results from the deeds or thoughts of great men-is nonsense, of course. But I think equally nonsensical what I call the No-Man Theory of history, according to which men are but puppets of "social forces," or economics, or geography, or the "spirit of the times"-in short, non-human or un-individual factors which wholly account, deterministically, for all human events.

  • Gerald Gunther
    GERALD GUNTHER 26 may 1927 . 30 july 2002 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 148, NO. 4, DECEMBER 2004 biographical memoirs ERALD GUNTHER had one of the greatest careers in G American constitutional law in the second half of the twenti- eth century. Many thousands of American lawyers first en- countered the complexities of the Constitution in Gunther’s widely adopted casebook, which carries the simple title Constitutional Law (at the time of his death, it was in its fourteenth edition, then co- authored with Kathleen Sullivan). The casebook places constitutional issues and Supreme Court decisions in a context that is historical and philosophical as well as legal. His scholarly standards were exacting and his overall approach to the law subtle and humanistic, learned, re- flective, and skeptical. His casebook gives the reader Gerald Gunther’s own sense that the law is a worthy subject matter, to be taken seriously. On 21 April 1995, Professor Gunther read a paper before the American Philosophical Society, “Judge Learned Hand: The Choices and Satisfactions of a Biographer.” Gunther had spent more than twenty years on his exhaustive biography of the most distinguished lower court judge in American history. The book was published, to wide acclaim, in 1994. In the paper he delivered at Philadelphia, Gunther stressed the qualities of Learned Hand: “disinterestedness, non-dogmatic evenhandedness, incessant skeptical probing.” These were also Gunther’s qualities. One of Gunther’s favorite passages from Learned Hand was the remarks the judge made upon receiving an honorary degree from Har- vard: “I am thinking of what the scholar imposes upon himself; better, perhaps, of what he may fail to impose upon himself; of those abnega- tions which are the condition of his preserving the serenity in which alone he can work; I am thinking of an aloofness from burning issues, which is hard for generous and passionate natures, but without which they almost inevitably become advocates, agitators, crusaders, and propagandists.

PHILOSOPHICAL ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY LAW* F. S. C. Northrop PHILOSOPHY is the name for the basic methodological and theoretical assump- tions of a subject. Since every science uses some method of investigation and any scientist who reports facts to his colleagues must express these facts in words and, hence, introduce concepts and theory, it follows that any science whatever is also a philosophy. When no facts arise, however, to bring the traditional theory or methods of a subject into question, its problems are not philosophical. Then to be a scientist one need not also be a philosopher. Mathematics and physics were in such a state during the two hundred years following the publication of Newton's Principia in 1686. American law thought it was in a similar condition when, following Langdell, it introduced the case method and identified its science with the empirical study of cases. But whenever facts arise in any subject which bring its traditional theory or methods into question, at that moment its problems become philosophical.

  • Connecticut Law Review
    CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 36 SUMMER 2004 NUMBER 4 An Open Discussion with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg On March 12, 2004, the University of Connecticut School of Law welcomed Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, of the Supreme Court of the United States, to campus as the Day, Berry & Howard Foundation Visiting Scholar. As part of her visit, Justice Ginsburg gave some brief remarks on "The Lighter Side of Life at the Court" to an assembled gathering and then participated in a question-and-answer session moderated by Professor Paul Schiff Berman, who clerked for Justice Ginsburg during the 1997-98 term. Pro- fessor Berman gathered the questions in advance from stu- dents and faculty members, but Justice Ginsburg was not given the questions before the session. What follows is the text of Justice Ginsburg'sprepared remarks, followed by an edited transcriptof the question-and-answersession. Justice Ginsburg: Thank you. I appreciate the most hearty welcome I have received here, and am glad to devote most of this hour to a conversation with you based on the questions Paul has gathered. As a lead into that conversation, I will speak not of the heavy work of the U.S. Supreme Court, but of some things less grave--customs that promote collegiality among the nine Justices, and the lighter side of life in our Marble Palace. Before each Court day begins and before each of our conference dis- cussions, as we enter the robing room or the conference room, we shake 1034 CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW [Vol. 36:1033 hands, each Justice with every other.

    FROM PENS TO PIXELS: TEXT-MEDIA ISSUES IN PROMULGATING, ARCHIVING, AND USING JUDICIAL OPINIONS Kenneth H. Ryesky* I. INTRODUCTION The American judicial system, like the British system on which it is based, relies on precedent and therefore requires the availability of prior judicial opinions in order to function.' Whether judicial opinions are the law, or merely evidence of the law, or some hybrid of the two,2 text media are inextricably entwined with adjudicating the law in America.' * Attorney at Law, East Northport, N.Y., and Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Accounting and Information Systems, Queens College CUNY; B.B.A. Temple University, M.B.A. La Salle University, J.D. Temple University, M.L.S. Queens College CUNY. 1. See e.g. I William Blackstone, Commentaries (1765) (facsimile reprint, U. Chi. Press 1979): The decisions therefore of courts are held in the highest regard, and are not only preserved as authentic records in the treasuries of the several courts, but are handed out to public view in the numerous volumes of reports which furnish the lawyer's library. These reports are histories of the several cases, with a short summary of the proceedings, which are preserved at large in the record; the arguments on both sides; and the reasons the court gave for their judgment.

  • A TALE of TWO HANDS: One Clapping; One Not
    A TALE OF TWO HANDS: One Clapping; One Not Burt Neuborne* My thanks to the editors of the Arizona State Law Journal for organizing this symposium celebrating the 100th anniversary of Judge Learned Hand’s brilliant and courageous, if unsuccessful, effort in Masses Publishing Co. v. Patten1 to slow down the repressive train that was running amok over Americans who vigorously spoke out against America’s entry into World War I. While many have chronicled the major Supreme Court cases from Schenck to Gitlow failing to protect free speech during and after World War I,2 they usually don’t go beneath the surface of the Supreme Court to plumb the massive wave of repression that swept the nation in the summer and fall of 1917, fanned by jingoism, fear of immigrants, war fever, fear of communism, and President Woodrow Wilson’s streak of fanaticism.3 Convinced that he was doing God’s work in committing the nation to a war to make the world safe for democracy, Wilson, a baffling figure who was an appalling racist, an economic reformer, an idealistic internationalist, and the first President to appoint a Jew to the Supreme Court,4 had no qualms about * Norman Dorsen Professor in Civil Liberties, New York University School of Law. I’m sorry that we lost my longtime friend and colleague, Norman Dorsen, who died on July 1, 2017, before he had a chance to join in the festivities. Much of what I say in this essay emerged from almost fifty years of conversations with Norman. We would have enjoyed writing this one together.

And even if a lawgiver were able to take all the cases into consideration, he ought not to mention them all in order to avoid confusion.
