...subject in which research is needed is criminal law, admittedly the weakest point in our polity. No subject of research affords greater possibilities. But the administration of criminal justice is involved, in part at least, in a wider problem of enforcement of law, in which research is urgently called for. One side of law enforcement has become of especial importance to the country, namely, application of law by administrative boards and commissions...
...Economic institutions, economic progress and material prosperity presuppose the legal ordering of conduct whereby division of labor and specialized activity become possible. Public order is as fundamental for our economic structure as is public health. Behind one quite as much as the other there must be continuous scientific research. The proposed plans for the development of the Harvard Law School have been worked out, and will be carried out, in the hope that in the future it may be able not merely to train lawyers, but to make a fundamental contribution to the upholding and development of justice through American...
...teachers, but the necessity of providing for graduate students has largely crowded the teachers out of the stack cubicles. There ought to be an office convenient to the ilbrary stacks and a stack cubicle for each teacher, in addition to provision of stack cubicles for graduate students, research fellows and others engaged in research. Assuming a school of 1,500, with the same curriculum as at present, a total of 24 professors and assistant professors will be required. Thus at the very least we should have 24 professors' offices and 60 stack cubicles...
...present there is the Thayer Teaching Fellowship with a stipend of $1200, and a temporary research fellowship guaranteed for five years by friends of the school. There ought to be in all ten such fellowships. Experience has shown that at least four of the best men out of each of the graduating classes, may be counted upon, at least two first-class men each year from recent graduates of other law schools, and upon at least four teachers of law coming to us from the outside. There is no reason to doubt that first rate men could be expected...
There can be no question of the importance of the work these men might do if it were possible to make proper provision for them. Brought into close contact with the professors who are doing research work in important fields of law, not only will they stimulate the work of those professors but what the latter do will be made more effective practically through the research fellows going back each year to the institutions from which they have come, or going into teaching work in different institutions throughout the country, and thus aiding to diffuse rapidly throughout the country...
