Youngest of the legal technicians to be called was Dean Robert Maynard Hutchins, 30. Brooklyn-born, fair of face. Into three decades Dean Hutchins has packed much successful living. On the Italian front he won a Croce di Guerra for U. S. ambulance driving. A Yale graduate of 1921, he captained the debating team, was class orator, achieved prominence without athletics. Two years later while a Yale Law School student he was chosen secretary of the University. His LL.B. came magna cum laude in 1925. In 1927 he was made Dean of the Yale Law School...
...Great Britain scrambling to the ballot box at whatever time his advisers deemed least favorable to the rival parties (Laborite & Liberal). He might spring a "surprise election" in early May, or dawdle along until late June. So long as docile Britons are called to cast their ballots within the legal period of five years after the present House of Commons was elected (Oct. 29, 1924), good Squire Baldwin has as much liberty of choice as a Dowager Duchess deciding in July which hymns her servitors will sing at Christmas...

...National Prohibition Law. The purpose according to Senator Jones, was to combat large scale "bootlegging" operations. By a special provision "the courts are to discriminate between casual or slight violations and so called regular bootlegging or attempts to commercialize violations of law". This latter provision has no legal effect since it is but a pious exhortation to the judges to be nice to the amateur offender and to be severe on the individual engaged in the liquor business. But that of course is what courts do anyway and it is submitted that there is no remedy if a particularly...
...from the study of law in books and documents to the examination of individual offenses against society indicates a new outlook in the legal profession. Today the lawbreaker is dealt with under a hard and fast rule which was made to consider the mass and not the individual. With the present code there is little or no room for the services which a psychiatrist, physician, or social worker might render, not in punishing the crime, but in getting at the cause of the un-social conduct in the individual...
