THE JOHN MARSHALL LAW SCHOOL To place a bridle on men ' s tongues so that they be restrained from calumny, without laying irksome fetters on the ordinary communications of society, and to curb the licentiousness without at the same time stamping the salutary freedom of the press, is one of the most arduous but, at the same time, valuable achievements of our law. r ,r i Mii i ' ft

The John Marshall Law Quarterly FACULTY ADVISORY BOARD DEAN EDWARD T LEE. Chairman DA ' ID AXELROD. Editor GEORGE E HARBERT PALMER D. EDMUNDS GEORGE F. ANDERSON REUBEN FREEDMAN LLOYD D. HETH EDWARD B HAYES NOBLE W. LEE. Business Manager STUDENT EDITORIAL BOARD Editor: ROBERT HORNER The John Marshall Law School Quarterly although only one and one half years old has already taken its place among the leading law school publications. It has gained consistently in popularity and each issue is eagerly awaited by a rapidly increasing number of interested readers. Lawyers and students alike appreciate the carefully selected articles and the timely and concisely written case comments. Law students and lav.yers are peculiarly per- sons of impression and expression. During the law course and during practice, lawyers arc engaged chiefly in receiving impressions from teachers, from their reading, and from their active practice. Opportunity for expression in student years is limited and this may be so during many years of practice and yet the power of expression, orally and in writing, is the most valuable possession of a lawyer. His chief function is to impart to his client, and to the court, and to the jury his understanding cf the law. And, however much legal knowl- edge he may have absorbed as a student or in his later years at the bar, unless he can express his learning clearly, precisely, and convincingly his store of knowledge may be unproductive. Therefore, it is to provide a channel for ex- pression on the part of the students, the alumni, and the faculty of The John Marshall Law School, and such other members of the pro- fession as may be interested, that this John Marshall Law Quarterly is published. In its columns opportunity is given to com- ment upon topics of legal education; legal reform, and Bar Association activities and ob- jectives. Letters and comments from law stu- dents, teachers of law, and practitioners re- ceive careful attention and are published when deemed advisable. Page Eighty-seven
