  • 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.

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.

  • Text-Media Issues in Promulgating, Archiving, and Using Judicial Opinions
    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.

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.

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.

  • Judges on Judging: a Bibliography'
    JUDGES ON JUDGING: A BIBLIOGRAPHY' SHIRLEY S. ABRAHAMSON* SUSAN M. FIEBER** GABRIELLE LESSARD*** I. Introduction ............................................ 995 II. Bibliography ............................................ 998 I. INTRODUCTION The genesis of this bibliography was Judge Henry J. Friendly's ob- servation that "the question how judges go about the business of judg- ing continues to hold interest-although apparently more for lawyers and law professors than for judges."' 2 Although decision-making has traditionally been viewed as a mysterious phenomenon not amenable to precise description, both trial and appellate judges have long been exploring the mental processes through which they reach judgment. Judges have been examining the "is" and the "ought"-how they ac- tually reach decisions and how they believe they should be doing it. Of course, judging and decision-making are not activities limited to judges and courts of law. They are pervasive, recurring human exper- * B.A., New York University; J.D., Indiana University-Bloomington; S.J.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison.
