Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Insurance: Fire, Life, Accident, Marine; With a Selection of Leading Illustrative Cases and an Appendix of Statutes and Forms This book was designed primarily for the class-room, and is the result of an effort to combine the advantages of the two more prominent methods in use for teaching law, commonly known as the text-book and case systems, the comparative merits of which have recently aroused wide-spread and thoughtful attention. The appearance of Langdell's Select Cases as a substitute for Parsons on Contracts, at Harvard Law School, in the year 1871, and the subsequent abolition on text-books from their curriculum by the law faculty or that great university, marked a conspicuous departure from pre-existing methods of legal instruction, and gave impetus to an exchange of views among those interested in education which has continued with increased earnestness. By the old method, the student is expected to acquire a knowledge of the elements of the law by memorizing the pages of a general treatise, which, in the estimate and according to the views of its author, contains a compendium of the whole body of law upon the given subject. By the other method, the student is made acquainted with original sources of legal authority; namely, leading decisions and opinions by the courts upon the given subject, together with the precise statement of facts upon which the opinion in each case is based, substantially as recorded in the official reports. These selected cases, edited, arranged, and printed in a book for this purpose, are put into the hands of the class, and are made the subject not only of study and recitation, but also of a free discussion in the class-room under guidance of an instructor, with a view to evolving, illustrating, and emphasizing the important principles established by them, and also other analogous and closely allied principles which may at the same time be conveniently considered.
