Oliphant, Herman | November 5, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

Standards for admission to law schools and to the bar are shifting, methods and materials used in legal training are changing, the whole body of substantive and procedural law is being so reorganized as to give a radically different approach to the entire subject. Important changes in the philosophy and the methods of work of legal scholars are taking place and there is a marked increase of emphasis on research as opposed to professional training. Legal education transmit from one generation to the next that body of professional knowledge and skills relating to law and its administration which each generation has, and it must enlarge and improve that body of knowledge and skills.
