He was the last of the three children of Philip and Hattie Goodhart. Both his parents came from families which had profited greatly from the astonishing economic growth of the USA. Arthur's paternal grandfather, Julius Goodhart, came from a Jewish family which had originally settled in Holland – Goodhart is a Dutch name – but which had moved to Germany by the time of his birth. He emigrated to the USA in 1837 and settled in Cincinnati. When he got established he sent home to Germany for a wife, and Rosa Rosenbaum was duly supplied.

    Copyright © The British Academy 1997 – all rights reserved Proceedings of the British Academy, 94, 475–487 Arthur Lehman Goodhart 1891–1978 ARTHUR LEHMAN GOODHART, one of the outstanding common lawyers of the century, was born in New York on 1 March 1891, and died in London on 10 November 1978, aged eighty-seven. For nearly sixty years he lived and worked in England, but despite his Anglophilia and his thorough acclimatisation here, he remained throughout a citizen of the USA, and unmistakably American. For over fifty years, nobody had a greater influence on the development of the common law. This resulted mainly from the steady flow of his writings, but also from his teaching, his committee work, and his easy relationship with many leading figures in the law. Though England was the main beneficiary, the whole common law world profited. His inheritance was rich. He was endowed with ability, public spirit, modesty, and generosity, as well as material wealth. His grandparents were all born in Europe and emigrated to the USA in the 1830s and 1840s. His father, Philip, was born in Cincinnati, but as a young man he went to New York, where in due time he became a prominent member of the New York Stock Exchange, in partnership with his brother. He was a kind and gentle man who died in 1944 at the age of eighty-eight. Arthur’s mother, Harriet, was a sister of Irving Lehman, who became Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals, and of Herbert Lehman, who, after being Governor of the State of New York from 1932–42, became Director-General of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), and then from 1948–56 a US Senator who was one of Senator Joe McCarthy’s most resolute adversaries.

This brings in certainty in legal matters and the litigant has an idea of how the court will act in similar situations and facts. In the course of rendering decisions on actual disputes the courts explain and expound the law; they clarify and clear the ambiguities in the Legislation; in the process they make statements of law which operates as a source of law. Thus, the theory of precedent plays an important role in the development of Jurisprudence of the country. In India, under Article 143 of the constitution, law laid down by the Supreme is binding on all the courts in India.

  • Chapter Eight: the Gathering Storm
    CHAPTER EIGHT FRANK ALTSCHUL AND THE GATHERING STORM, 1938-1943 At the beginning of the 1930s, the Great Depression seemed to be the greatest threat to domestic and international stability. As the decade progressed, broader international issues of war and peace came to loom ever larger. In response, Frank Altschul’s focus gradually shifted from his original interest in what were almost technical questions of economics and currency policy, to broader issues of international strategy and the balance of power. In part, this was probably a reaction to the increasingly critical depressing situation in Europe, as Nazi Germany’s policies became ever more extreme and the demands of Adolf Hitler on other countries more exigent. This may also have reflected Altschul’s own growing comfort level in considering larger international questions, a sense of ease probably facilitated by his dealings with the balance of power theorists associated with the Yale Institute of International Affairs. Once war began in Europe in September 1939, the 1940 presidential election in the United States was widely considered a pivotal contest, since whomever the voters selected that year would have the responsibility of deciding on his country’s policies towards the conflict in Europe and the ever more serious situation in Asia. Altschul took the most active political role of his life in the 1940 campaign, helping to lay the ground for the nomination of the pro-Allied Republican candidate, Wendell L. Willkie, one of whose earliest backers he became. The following year, Altschul published a short book, a volume he apparently hoped might in some way serve as a springboard to propel him to greater political prominence.

  • Arthur Lehman Goodhart, Master 1951-63
    1 UNIV ONLINE CATALOGUES UC:MA48 Papers of Arthur Lehman Goodhart, Master 1951-63 Arthur Lehman Goodhart (1891–1978) was born in New York, and studied at Yale. He then read Law at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, going up in 1912, and after the First World War was elected a Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. In 1931 he was elected Professor of Jurisprudence at Oxford, and thus became a Professorial Fellow of University College. His most important contribution to legal scholarship was his editorship of the Law Quarterly Review from 1925–75. A keen anglophile, Goodhart remained in Britain during the Second World War, among other things arranging special short courses at Oxford for American servicemen on leave, and broadcasting regularly on British and American radio. For all this war work he was awarded an honorary KBE in 1948. In 1951, Goodhart was elected Master of University College. He had already been invited to put his name forward for the Mastership in 1937, but refused. Goodhart was the first American and the first Jew to be elected head of an Oxford or Cambridge College. Goodhart was a singularly successful Master: with his wife Cecily he fulfilled the many duties attached to the role with distinction, but he was also a major benefactor to the College, as were members of his family, especially his sister and brother-in-law Helen and Frank Altschul. The most visible results of their generosity are the Alington Room, the Goodhart Building, Helen’s Court, and Cecily’s Court. For more information on Goodhart, see his entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography , and Robin Darwall-Smith, A History of University College, Oxford (Oxford, 2008), pp.

Before moving on, I wonder if we could return to a few points from the first interview. Do you have any reflections, either your own or second-hand from your father of David Daube3, who began at Cambridge, moved to Aberdeen, Regius Professor at Oxford, and ended up at the University of California? Well, yes, I do have very strong recollections and I’ve even got, sitting on there, that book of his reflections. 98. His reflections? I might just have a look at, at some point.

  • Why I Think the Death of Conrad Roy Was Faked
    return to updates Why I think the death of Conrad Roy was Faked by Miles Mathis First published September 19, 2019 As usual, this is just my opinion, based on internet research anyone can do I have a couple of hours to kill this afternoon, so I took a quick peek at this one. Roy allegedly killed himself in 2014 with the verbal encouragement of his girlfriend Michelle Carter. She was tried for involuntary manslaughter and convicted. She was sentenced to 2.5 years. She has now served seven months of a 15-month reduced sentence and is seeking early release. After just that first glance, I was already smelling smoke. Since Carter only has eight months left in her term, why are they wasting court time hearing her early release plea? It makes no sense. The short term has already been cut in half once. There she is today, being led to court in handcuffs and ankle shackles. Really? She is that dangerous, eh? This little woman surrounded by big men, and she needs ankle shackles. All Hollywood, as usual. The reason they are doing this is to keep it in the headlines. Plus, the names are giveaways as well. Carter and Roy, both peerage names. The Roys in the peerage are related to the Maitlands, the Erskines, the Gladstones, the Munros, the Hastings, the Willoughbys, the Brookes, the Palmers, the Clarks, and the Stewarts. Both the Maitlands and the Brookes link us to the Stuart/Stewarts fairly recently (1800s). Michelle Carter is probably related to President Carter, and Conrad Roy III likely is, too.
