HICKS, A.M., LL.B. ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY NEW YORK BAKER, VOORHIS & CO. 1913 COPYRIGHT, 1913, BY FREDERICK C. HICKS PREFACE The compilation of this book was begun to meet the needs of students using the library of Columbia University Law School. It is published in book form because it seems likely that it will be useful to students in other law schools, and to law teachers, practitioners and law librarians, as well as to students in history and politics. It does not purport to be a legal bibliography, nor a com- plete list of all publications on the subjects in- dicated by the chapter headings. Its purpose is to select material practically helpful to all users of law books, and to serve as a supplement to the increasing number of books on the subject "How and Where to Find the Law." I have not hesitated to include law publishers' catalogues, charts, advertising circulars and pam- phlets whenever these contain material of per- manent value. On the contrary, it seemed ad- visable to include such publications because they are usually obtainable without cost, to become the personal property of students. Except in Chapters I and LX, the work is com- posed chiefly of annotated titles of books about law books. For instance, individual titles of re- ports, digests, statutes, encyclopedias, text-books and dictionaries are not given; but books and 5 6 Preface magazine articles descriptive of such books, and telling how to use them, are included. The scope of each chapter is explained in the paragraphs which precede it. Books relating to the literature of International Law and Foreign Law, except Great Britain and her colonies, are excluded, because these subjects are being covered in a series of works prepared by Edwin M. Borchard, the Law Librarian of Con- gress. In this series the following have already been issued: The bibliography of international law and con- tinental law. Washington, Government Printing Office, 1913. Guide to the law and legal literature of Ger- many. Washington, Government Printing Office, 1912. For assistance in the preparation of this book, grateful acknowledgment is made to Mr. Lawrence H. Schmehl, assistant in the law library. FREDERICK C. HICKS. Columbia University.

Legal Ethics 109 Index 113 LAW STUDY LAW STUDY This chapter is divided into two parts, Law Study in the United States, and Law Study in England. It is intended to provide a selected course of reading, preliminary to the technical study of the law. The history of legal education and of the legal profession are inseparable, and the history of both in the United States had its beginning in England. For American law students, the historical and descriptive works relating to the legal profession in England are as important as those listed under the heading, Law Study in the United States. The older works on this subject are important, first, because they are in themselves valuable, second, because they are delightful reading, third, because they illustrate the kind of material from which legal history partly is drawn, and fourth, because students to-day should know something of the joy which comes from contact with books written when the law was a profession rather than a busi- ness. The literature listed in this chapter falls into the following groups: histories of the legal pro- fession and its institutions; bibliographies of legal education; law schools; admission to the bar; and 11 12 Study and Use of Law Books books telling how and what to study. The latter should be distinguished from books listed in Chapter II, which deals with the technical use of law books in actual practice. Law Study in the United States Bibliography of Legal Education.

Until comparatively recent years, grad- uates of law schools found themselves woefully ignorant of the technique of book use, and were obliged to learn it by experience, expensive to themselves and their clients. Instruction by means of the case system has made it necessary for students to learn how to use books while in the law schools, and many law schools have recognized this fact by giving systematic instruction on this subject, with practice work. The importance of the law library has consequently been increased, and the law librarian has been given the opportu- nity of performing an important function in legal instruction. This he does chiefly by rendering daily assistance to the student; but also in a num- ber of schools by giving brief courses of lectures. The books listed in this chapter properly serve as text-books to be used in connection with such lec- tures. All of the material listed in this book, ex- cept that on legal ethics, was selected because it aids in the use of law books. The books on "How and Where to Find the Law," however, stand in a chapter by themselves because they are attempts to give systematic instruction in the use of law books. 27 28 Study and Use of Law Books 26 Andeews, James D.

LEGAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES Ill LEGAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES In his "Short View of Legal Bibliography," 1807, Bridgman tells the reader that "It is much to be wished, that in all Arts and Sciences a Biblio- graphical Instructor were selected, and published, for the double advantage of easing the labors of the rising generation, and of removing rubbish from the republic of letters. It is our duty," he says, "to do the best we can for our posterity, and not reject the task under the illiberal idea that posterity can do nothing for us." Since Bridgman's time, the field of legal bib- liography has become so broad that no one man can hope to cover it. But the attempts to provide ' ' Bibliographical Instructors " have continued. In the following pages are listed a few of the most useful of such publications. By reference to them a reader may learn what books have been published by a given author, and what books have been written on a given legal subject. Bibliographies dealing wholly or largely with text-books and treatises, or with law reports, have not been in- cluded in this chapter, but will be found in Chap- ters V and VI respectively. 33 General 33 Bibliography of Legal Science. Journal of the International Institute of Legal Bibliography. Cambridge, Eng., Cam- bridge University Press. First issue, 1910. Published monthly in five editions: — English, German, French, Italian and Russian. "The purpose of the Bibliography is to list and arrange systematically all books and articles dealing with legal science. Each item gives the full title and name of author, title and date of publication and a brief descriptive resume 1 of the article, where it is not sufficiently described by the title. In the case of books, the name of the publisher, size and price are also stated.

LEGAL TERMINOLOGY IV LEGAL TERMINOLOGY The three subdivisions of this chapter deal with Legal Subject-headings, Foreign Legal Terms, and Lists of Legal Abbreviations. The purpose of the chapter is to provide the means for familiarizing one's self with terms used in the law. Ordinary law dictionaries and encyclopedias are not, how- ever, included, because these are not likely to be overlooked. Moreover, the information contained in them often differs little in essential character from the contents of text-books and treatises. Consultation of the publications listed under Subject-headings will introduce a reader to tech- nical terms ordinarily found in law books and law library catalogues. At the same time a bird's-eye- view may be had of the whole field of the law, divided into divisions and subdivisions logically arranged. The books listed under the heading Foreign Legal Terms contain explanations of foreign words and phrases likely to be useful in the study of English law books, and not ordinarily explained in law dictionaries or in dictionaries of the various languages. Under the third heading are references to lists of abbreviations peculiar to the law. These lists serve also as lists of reports, treatises, etc., and are sometimes accompanied by dates showing the periods covered by the various reports. 47 SUBJECT-HEADINGS 66 U. S.

At the beginning of each sub- division are a few references to articles concerning the nature and authority of text-books and trea- tises; but the chapter is devoted chiefly to author and subject lists of text-books of recent date. For the most part they are lists contained in the catalogues of well-known law publishers, many of which can be obtained by the student without cost. The value of such catalogues as legal refer- ence works is often overlooked by the student. A well-selected collection of publishers' catalogues would form an excellent nucleus for a student's law library. The material listed in Chapter III, Legal Bibliographies, has not been repeated here. Some of the most accessible lists of text-books and treatises are contained in the catalogues of law libraries. In Chapter VI, Case Law, will be found some references to case-books, which to-day are used in lieu of text-books. 65 United States 117 Aenoux, William H. A few ideas on text-books.

CASE LAW VI CASE LAW The material in this chapter is grouped under the headings, United States, and British and British Colonial. The literature concerning case law is very large, and it is interesting both histori- cally and for practical purposes. The selections from this literature to which references are here given include, first, historical descriptions of re- ports; second, comment on their value and the au- thority of the reporters; third, methods of report- ing; fourth, instruction in the use of reports and digests; fifth, descriptions of particular sets of reports and digests; sixth, biographies of the re- porters; seventh, lists of judges; eighth, descrip- tions and bibliographies of the year-books; ninth, tables of regnal years; and tenth, alphabetical and chronological lists of reports. The lists of abbreviations noted in Chapter IV serve as alphabetical lists of reports; and many of the legal bibliographies in Chapter III, especially the catalogues of law libraries, contain convenient lists of reports. Comment on current cases may be found in most of the well-known law journals of the United States, Canada and England, including those de- voted to special subjects, such as the Journal of the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminol- 73 74 Study and Use of Law Books ogy. These reviews of current cases are of tem- porary value for local purposes, and as clues to be followed up; but they lose much of their impor- tance as soon as the complete reports and the digests have been published. In understanding the reports of the various courts of the United States, Frederic J. Stimson's "General chart of the courts of all the states and territories and the District of Columbia," con- tained in his American Statute Law, v. 1, p. 114, will be found useful; while Hampton L. Carson's "Supreme Court of the United States" (Phil- adelphia, P. W. Ziegler Co., 1902) contains sketches of the justices, reporters and clerks of the court. Concerning the English courts, it will be useful to consult the Encyclopedia of the Laws of Eng- land, 2d ed., v. 1, pp. 415^420, which contains a "Table arranged alphabetically showing to what court an appeal lies." A professor in one of the prominent law schools of the United States recommends the constant use of legal biographies in connection with court re- ports. "If students will make a practice of famil- iarizing themselves with the careers of justices, lawyers and reporters whose names are found in court reports," he says, "they will grad- ually acquire a knowledge of legal history inval- uable to them in actual practice." For this purpose, titles 137-141 will be found to be vat uable. Case Law 75 137 Campbell, John. Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, till the reign of George IV.

Except under the first subdivision, indexes and reviews of legislation have not been included. For Great Britain and most of her colonies, the compiled statutes are accompanied by chronological tables of statutes in force, repealed and amended. For general reviews of legislation, consult the Annual Bulletin, Comparative Law Bureau of the Amer- ican Bar Association, and the British Journal of the Society of Comparative Legislation, listed in Chapter HL For the sake of brevity, the bibliographies of American statute law listed in the "Hand list of legislative sessions and session laws" issued by the Massachusetts State Library, have not been sep- arately noted here. Under the name of each state in this list is the heading Bibliography, followed by the titles of such lists of American session laws and statutes as have been published, together with other valuable bibliographical information. Some of the lists of reports noted in Chapter VT are combined with lists of statutes and session laws; and in the catalogues of law libraries, under the names of the various states, tables of laws are usually given. The tables of regnal years noted in Chapter VI will assist in fixing the dates of British Parliamentary sessions. 95 United States 200 Index analysis of the Federal Statutes. 1789-1907.

LAW COLLECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES VIII LAW COLLECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES This chapter is intended to aid law students, legal writers, law professors, and investigators in economics, politics and history, who wish to know in what library a given book or class of books is to be found. This information can be obtained, obviously, by laboriously consulting the printed catalogues of all the principal law libraries. The publications listed in the following pages are, how- ever, of an entirely different character. They are the first attempts to summarize the informa- tion contained in law catalogues, and thus lighten the labors of those whose needs cannot be met by one law collection. Although very useful, these guides serve also to show how little has actually been done in this field. Law librarians would per- form an invaluable service to scholarship if, co- operatively, they published a comprehensive guide to the law collections of the United States and Canada. 103 Law Collections 213 List of law libraries in the United States and Canada.

LEGAL ETHICS IX LEGAL ETHICS Although not logically falling within the scope of this book, the following brief list of works on legal ethics is included because in many law schools lecture courses on this subject are given, making a guide to students' reading desirable. On account of the growing importance of this subject and the increased attention that is being paid to it, the list might, perhaps, have been appended to the chapter on Legal Study. Those who wish to ex- tend their reading beyond the books indicated will find numerous articles in legal periodicals. These articles may be found by consulting Jones' Index to Legal Periodicals, and the Index to Legal Periodicals published by the American Associa- tion of Law Libraries. 109 Legal Ethics 220 Archer, Gleason L.
