  • The History and Operation of the Briggs Law of Massachusetts
    THE HISTORY AND OPERATION OF THE BRIGGS LAW OF MASSACHUSETTS WINFRED OVERHO.SE* The problem of the mental capacity of persons accused of crime is one which has for several centuries been of considerable interest to the courts. Apparently prior to the middle of the eighteenth century, however, no great difficulty was experienced by the court in obtaining reliable evidence on this question-since at that time the experts were called in by the court as amici curiae. During the past two hundred years, however, the position of the experts has tended to develop into that of par- tisans,' and criticism has been widespread and caustic on the part not only of judges and lawyers but of the general public.2 By reason of the sensational nature of the crime charged in some cases where insanity is pleaded as a defense, undue attention has been focused by the public upon the r~le of the psychiatrist as an expert witness in criminal trials, despite the well recognized abuses of other types of expert testi- mony, criminal and civil alike. If criticism has been rampant, however, it cannot truthfully be said that no attempts have been made to improve the situation. Some of these attempts have partaken of the nature of action by professional societies, but the ones which concern us particularly are those which have been enacted into legislation. Of the types of legislative cures proposed, the most common has been that con- ferring upon the court the right or the duty, in certain specified cases, of appointing neutral experts.

TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT-NANTUCKET, MARTHA'S VINEYARD, AND TIlE PUBLIC TRUST DOCTRINE: REMEMBERING TIlE LAND TIlAT TIME FORGOT CHRISTOPHER COLI McMAHON* Abstract: The Public Trust Doctrine, an ancient mandate under which the sovereign holds unique natural resources in trust for the benefit of the general public, has been adopted by the United States as a staple of American property law. While the federal government is the ultimate trustee of these lands, the states may flexibly interpret and administer this law to maximize the public benefit derived from trust resources. For instance, although most states own the land between the high and low tide lines in trust for its citizens, Massachusetts bases its common law interpretation of the Doctrine on the Colonial Ordinance of 1641-41, a statute passed by the early settlers of the commonwealth providing for private ownership of the ocean flats.

INDIANA LAW JOURNAL Volume 30 FALL 1954 Number I CODIFICATION OF THE LAW IN COLONIAL MASSACHU- SETTS: A STUDY IN COMPARATIVE LAWt GEORGE L. HASKINSt Since at least the time of Aristotle, students of political institutions have been aware that the legal systems of widely differing societies and cultures have many common traits and features. This phenomenon has, in recent times, attracted the attention of jurists and legal historians, who have made fruitful comparisons of the law and institutions of various countries and civilizations, and their studies have made more precise our understanding of the common features of different legal systems. It is beginning to be recognized in many quarters that these similarities are the outgrowth or consequence of certain underlying and recurring pat- terns in legal development, and it has become a special function of what we call comparative jurisprudence to investigate these general patterns with a view to describing their characteristics and, more particularly, their influence at particular stages of legal growth.

THE COMMON LAW: AN ACCOUNT OF ITS RECEPTION IN THE UNITED STATES FORD W. HALL* "The common law of England is not to be taken, in all respects, to be that of America. Our ancestors brought with them its general principles, and claimed it as their birth- right; but they brought with them and adopted only that portion which was applicable to their situation." Story, J., in Van Ness v. Pacard, 2 Pet. 137, 144, 7 L. Ed. 374 (1829). The story of the extent to which the common law of England has been received and applied in the United States, is one of the most interesting and important chapters in American legal history. However, many courts and writers have shown a tendency simply to say that our colonial forefathers brought the common law of England with them, and there has often been little or no inclination to look further into the question.
