Therefore the task undertaken by the American Law Institute in restating the common law as it now exists in the United States should have our heartiest support and cooperation. The meetings recently held in Chicago, from October 27th to 29th, including the address to this Association by Professor Joseph H. Beale, of the Harvard Law School, on October 28th, have brought this work closer home to us and given it a livelier interest. At these meetings were discussed the preliminary drafts of the law of con- tracts, agency, conflict of laws and torts. Except in preparing a model criminal coue, the Institute is not attempting to change the law, but merely to restate it, having three principal objects in view: greater clarity, a better understanding, and uniformity in the various jurisdictions. The work is in the hands of experts in each field, including some of the leading practicing lawyers in the country, but before its com- pletion several years hence, every member of the bar can help by getting the preliminary drafts and studying and criticizing them, so that the finished product may as nearly as possible represent the composite judgment of all elements of the profession. When the work is done and the finished drafts are published, it will be the duty and privilege of every member of the bar to use them in court and urge the courts of the land to accept them as the law. The preliminary drafts now available may be obtained at a nom- inal cost by writing the Executive office of the American Law In- stitute, 3400 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. 195260
