THE LAW INSTITUTE AND THE TEACHER OF LAW

The American Law Institute will soon be five years old. It is not necessary here to describe its aims and purposes; every law teacher knows of the state of our law that brought the Institute into being, and of the high hopes which are entertained of its influence and accomplishments. Beginnings have been made in Trusts and Property. Substantial progress has been shown in Agency, Contracts, Conflict of Laws, and Torts, as well as the code of criminal procedure.

We have by this time an appreciable amount of the product of the body which is restating our law. How can we make this material most useful to us as teachers of law and to the schools we represent?
