Inhaltsangabe

""Legal Reform: An Address To The Graduating Class Of The Law School Of The University Of Albany, Delivered March 23, 1855"" is a book written by David Dudley Field. The book was published in 1855 and is a speech that Field gave to the graduating class of the Law School of the University of Albany. In this book, Field talks about the need for legal reform in the United States. He argues that the legal system is too complex and that it needs to be simplified so that it is more accessible to ordinary people. Field also discusses the need for a uniform system of laws across the country, as the current system of state laws is confusing and inconsistent.Field's speech is considered to be an important contribution to the legal reform movement in the United States. His ideas helped to shape the legal system as it exists today, and his call for simplification and uniformity is still relevant today. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of legal reform in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

One of the most interesting things in life is the spectacle of a class of young men, just finishing their preparatory studies, and about to enter upon the world. The competition of the class gone, the excitement of studies in common over, they are passing from the condition of scholars to that of actors. Our imagination follows them into the future. We see them embark, now for the first time, upon the open sea; where they are often tossed by tempests, and often becalmed, where some are drifted ashore, others foundered, and a few ride prosperously, with favoring winds and swelling sails, into the desired haven. Such is the spectacle presented to us to-night. A seminary of learning, founded by the zeal and foresight of eminent men, who as judges and lawyers have illustrated the advantages of study, and whose love of knowledge has prompted them to take upon themselves the office of professors and teachers, here dismisses its graduating class, with the first public exercises it has ever yet held on such an occasion.
