The Theme of Early American Law Teaching: The Political Ethics of Francis Lieber.

Carrington, Paul D.

Journal of Legal Education, v42 n3 p339-98 Sep 1992

Heavily annotated article reviews history of U.S. law education focusing on Francis Lieber's conception of political and legal patriotism, expressed in publications of 1838-39, which summarize ethics of most early U.S. legal education from 1779 until at least the Civil War. Philosophy links duty to right and sees legal process as a means for achieving both justice and unity. (MSE)
