Excerpt from The American Law School Review, Vol. 3: An Intercollegiate Law Journal; November, 1911 The law is a system of rules evolved by society and evolving with the alteration of ao clety. The rules are not hard and fast and clear-cut, for they are rules applied and to be applied to the facts of real life, facts varying both apparently and actually. Our knowledge of these rules tends to become static. The rules themselves seldom do. Almost every rule has a future growth, as well as a past development. A most vain able phase of legal lore to be imparted to a student of any rule of law is its dynamic force. What is the trend of its development? What is the law of the future? The future, of course, is always beginning with the com ing moment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
