Law Never Is, But Is Always About

History Or Custom Or Social Utility Or Some Compelling Sense Of Justice Or Sometimes Perhaps A Semi-intuitive Apprehension Of The Pervading Spirit Of Our Law Must Come To The Rescue Of The Anxious Judge And Tell Him Where To Go.

Code Is Followed By Commentary, And Commentary By Revision, And Thus The Task Is Never Done.

I Take Judge-made Law As One Of The Existing Realities Of Life.

Rest And Motion, Unrelieved And Unchecked, Are Equally Destructive.

The Constant Assumption Runs Throughout The Law That The Natural And Spontaneous Evolutions Of Habit Fix The Limits Of Right And Wrong.
