S imeon Eben Baldwin, Governor of Connecticut, was born at New Haven, February 5, 1840, the youngest son of Roger Sherman Baldwin, Gover nor of Connecticut and United States Senator, who was a son of Simeon Bald win, Representative in Congress and Associate Judge of the Supreme Court of Errors, and a grandson of Roger Sherman, Signer of the Declaration of In dependence, and a leader in the Convention of 1787 which fiamed the Constitu tion of the United States. On h is mother’s side he is a descendant of Governors Haynes, Wvllys. and Pitkin, of Connecticut. He was educated at the Hopkins Grammar School of New Haven, Yale College, the Yale and ‘Havard Law Schools, and was ad mitted to the bar at New Haven in 1863, where he practiced his profession before both the State and United States courts for thirty years. He occasionally appeared also in the argument of important causes in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York, as well as in the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1 869 he was appointed an instructor in the Yale Law School and in 1872 a Professor. At the latter date he withdrew from practice in the inferior courts, and has ever since given one or two days a week through the year to the duties of his professorship. The subjects which he teaches are Constitu tional Law, Railroad Law, and Private International Law. He has also de livered the Southworth lectures in Andover Theological Seminary, a course of lectures in Private International Law in the University of Maryland, and a course of lectures on Wills in Howard University. In 1 872 he was appointed by the General Assembly one of a commission to revise the education laws of Connecticut, and\in 1873 one of a similar body for the revision of all the public laws. The general statutes had been arranged in all prior revisions alphabetically by topics. He advocated and carried through an arrangement of the various heads in their natural order, which has ever since been followed. In 1 875 he brought forward in Yale University a plan for giving advanced instruction in the Law Department to those who had already received a degree of bachelor of laws. A course of graduate study was suggested, leading to the degrees of Master of Laws and Doctor of Civil, Law. This measure received the approval of the University, and was put into effect in 1876. Graduate courses of a similar nature, patterned after those of Yale University, have since been introduced into a number of the American law schools. In 1 877 he obtained the approval by the State Bar Association of a proposi tion brought forward by him to abolish the distinction between law and equity as applicable to the form of civil actions. This resulted in his appointment on a legislative commission to accomplish this change, and he had a large share in preparing the Practice Act by which it was effected, and the Rules of Court under it. In 1885 he was appointed on a commission to report to the General Assembly on methods of taxation, and was influential in thus securing the adoption of several measures which added largely to the revenues of the State. In 1 878 he was one of a few citizens who initiated the movement which'led to the establishment of an extensive system of parks in New Haven, and was elected one of the three life members of the city Park Commission. In t he same year he suggested to the State Bar Association of Connecticut that it should take the initiative in endeavoring to secure the foundation of a 3 national b ar association. He was appointed one of a committee raised for that purpose, and conducted the preliminary correspondence, which was necessarily extensive. The result was the organization in 1878, of the American Bar Asso ciation, of which he has been called the founder, and which has had an im portant and growing influence throughout the Union. In 1 893 he was appointed an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Errors, and in 1907 Chief Justice. He h as been president of the New Haven Colony Historical Society, the American Historical Association, the American Bar Association, the Association of American Law Schools, the International Law Association, and the American Social Science Association, and is now president of the American Political Science Association, the American Society for the Judicial Settlement of In ternational Disputes, the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Trustees of the Hopkins Grammar School, and the Connecticut Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, and Director of the Bureau of Compara tive Law of the American Bar Association. He is a member of the American Antiquarian Society, the American Philosophical Society, and the National Institute of Arts and Letters, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a corresponding member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Colonial Society of Massachusetts, and the Institut de Droit Comparé of Brussels. He received the honorary degree of LL.D. from Harvard in 1891, and from Columbia in 1911. He h as published a Digest of the Connecticut Law Reports, “Modern Political Institutions," “American Railroad Law," “Illustrative Cases on Rail road Law,” and “The American Judiciary." He was also one of the authors of “Two Centuries’ Growth of American Law," and has contributed numerous articles to magazines and transactions of societies in the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland. He prepared the defi nitions of terms of jurisprudence given in the “Dictionary of Philosophy," printed at Oxford in 1902, and the article on United States Law in the Encyclopedia Brittanica. In 1 900 he was, under appointment from the Department of State, a dele gate from the United States to the Congrt": International Pénitentiaire at Brus sels, and in 1905 to that at Budapest. In 1904 he was the vice—president for the United States of the Universal Congress of Jurists and Lawyers, at St. Louis, Missouri. He h as been moderator of the State Conference of Congregational Churches of Connecticut, and president of the New Haven Congregational Club, and is a director in the Missionary Society of Connecticut, and a corporate member of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Before g oing on the bench, he had been an active member of the Demo cratic party, and when appointed was president of the State Democratic Club, and of the Monticello Club in New Haven, which then occupied a club house on Temple street, He retired from the bench in 1910, on reaching the age of seventy, under the constitutional provision to that effect, and was elected Governor on the Democratic ticket in the fall of that year. At t he Democratic State Convention, held at Bridgeport, on May 2, 1912, resolutions were unanimously passed instructing the Connecticut delegates to the Democratic National Convention to be held at Baltimore, June 25, 1912, to place in nomination, vote for, and support Governor Baldwin as candidate for President of the United States. ISDEN N A. BLAKESLEE, Lieutenant-Governor. Hon. D ennis A. Blakeslee, of New Haven, Lieutenant-Governor, was the Republican Senator from the Ninth District two consecutive sessions, 1907 and 1909. He was born in New Haven, March 11, 1856, and is the son of Charles W. and Martha J.

  • Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer As Civic Linchpin In
    Where Did All the Lawyers Go? Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer as Civic Linchpin in New Haven: 1830‐1890 By: Leslie Esbrook1 ‐But above all a lawyer will find his highest honor in a deserved reputation for fidelity to private trust and to public duty, as an honest man and as a patriotic and loyal citizen. –The Final Prays of the Canon of Ethics2 Lawyers have traditionally been portrayed as models for civic representation, epitomized by their role in the founding of the Republic. In recent studies a consensus has formed around the idea that the legal profession lost its civic‐mindedness, sometime between the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Consequently, the story goes, lawyers have lost a key part of the profession that elevated the law to a higher plane compared to other career paths. This paper will explore the history of this shift using New Haven and the greater Connecticut forum for empirical data. The paper will challenge the historical narrative by detailing internal inconsistencies amongst leading scholars, both in terms of time frame of decline and the amount and kind of civic participation envisioned as exemplary. I will show that, at least at the local level in New Haven, the shift of lawyers as history remembers did not occur in a radical, sudden fashion at all; by the end of the century a non‐trivial amount of lawyers continued to fully participate in civic life. Finally, I will track prevalent theories behind the myth of the lawyer’s civic decline and superimpose them on the facts relative to New Haven to show that the conflicting results accrued from the data support the absence of causal findings for the current theories in vogue.

[Mrs. Justus Street Hotchkiss, the compiler of this book, died after a short illness on January 24, 1912. While most of the book was in type when she was taken ill, she was unable to give much attention to the proofs or to make final revision. The book is_issued, therefore, without the super­ vision of her who, for years, gave such devoted care and research to the work., and to whose efforts the publication of this volume is due.] TABLE OF CONTENTS PART I. Main lines 0£ Winchester descent 0£ Edmund Winchester from the first ancestor, John Winchester, who came to New England in 1635. PART II. Lines of descent from John Winchester, Jr., through Capt. John Winchester, Henry Winchester and Benjamin Winchester. PART III. Lines 0£ descent from Josiah Winchester. PART IV. The Winchesters of Maryland. PART V. Notes on Alexander Winchester. PREFACE This work was undertaken entirely for private circulation, and in collecting and compiling the following Winchester Notes my motive has been _solely the desire to give to the great-grand­ children of Edmund Winchester, Sr., and their descendants, some knowledge of their ancestors in· this country, his lineage and theirs, also to preserve for them many facts regarding our family of to-day, with its numerous connecting links, known to me, but which would probably be lost to them after my death.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

LAISSEZ-FAIRE THEORY IN THE EARLY AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION Norbert Brockman, S.M.* The organized bar in the United States has, throughout its history, been shaped by the currents moving the history of the country at large. Thus, when the revolution that was Jacksonian democracy gathered strength in the 1820's, the legal profession felt its effects. The common view of the bar was that of Alexis de Tocqueville, who remarked: "If I were asked where I place the American Aristoc- racy, I should reply without hesitation... that it occupies the judicial bench and bar."' In the rising tide of Jacksonianism, this feeling could only result in a reaction against the organized bar. It was not uncommon for editors to accuse associations of undermining the bar, or even of being "conspiracies against the community at large."2 Traditionally, lawyers had been "called" to the bar, the admitting agent in the United States invariably being the court system.

  • NOTES on the HISTORY of the FEDERAL COURT of CONNECTICUT* by Josk A
    THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT* By Josk A. CABRANES** Chief Judge Feinberg, Judge Oakes, Mr. Fiske, distinguished guests and friends: I am honored and pleased to be here this afternoon. I am especially pleased because I think it is always salutary to remind New York residents, including judges and lawyers, that there is life (and law) on the far side of the Bronx. I say this, if I may indulge in a snippet of autobiography, as one who spent his childhood in that very borough, and his adolescence in furthest Queens, deep in the Eastern District, until I came, in the ripeness of years and by the grace of Kingman Brewster, and Abraham Ribicoff, to New Haven in the District of Connecticut. That being my personal odyssey, I like to look upon it as a progress of sorts. This is the third of our Second Circuit Historical Lectures. The series can now be said to have something of a history of its own. In preparing these remarks on my own court in the District of Connecticut, I have looked to the lectures of Judge Weinfeld and Judge Nickerson in much the same way that one consults the authorities on a given point of law. Now and again, those lectures have provided me with precedent, but (in the fashion of our profession) from time to time I found it appropriate to distin- guish the early cases. For the District of Connecticut is rather different from its southern - and, as we shall see, junior - cousins.

The charter having been obtained, and the requisite funds for organizing the Institution having been procured, a site was purchased in the city of Hartford, and the buildings were begun in June, 1824. In September of that year the first students were gathered, and in August, 1827, the first class graduated. In 1845, upon a memorial from the Trustees, the Legislature changed the name of the College to that which it now bears.
