1 R.I. Bar J. 1 (1952-1953)

handle is hein.barjournals/ribj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1 7 d! - - -i-' t . . .. . . . . . . . . A VOL. 1, No. 1 RHODE ISLAND LAW JOURNAL OCTOBER, 1952 With this Volume 1, Number 1, Rhode Island Bar Association is pleased to an- nounce the commencement of the publi- cation of this Rhode Island Bar Journal. It will be published each month, except during the summer season. It will be delivered without additional cost to all members of the Rhode Island Bar As- sociation and the subscription price will be included in the annual dues. The Rhode Island Bar Journal is dedi- cated to the interests of the members of the Rhode Island Bar Association and, in keeping with the traditions of the bar, to the public interest. For some time to come the Journal will of necessity be brief and concise. As time passes and experience increases and advertising revenue grows, it is hoped that the publication will likewise expand in size and ambition and find increasing means by which it may be useful and intresting to its readers. We shall publish digests of all deci sions of the Rhode Island Supreme Court, not as a substitute for reading the opinions in the Atlantic Digest Ad- vance Sheets, or elsewhere, but to pro- vide notice and ready reference to the law as laid down by our highest court. We shall publish brief reference to tax matters, again not as a substitute for more complete and useful publica- tions, but to give additional emphasis to things which most members of the Rhode Island Bar Association will find interesting and helpful. We shall endeavor to keep our mem- bers posted on pending legislation on matters of special interest to the bar and will publish a list of laws passed by the Legislature in respect to such mat- ters as soon as the General Assembly has adjourned. The Journal will keep itself out of partisan politics, but as a legal publication will endeavor to main- tain a keen and critical interest in the laws and in those who pass, administer, enforce and interpret the laws. We shall publish reports and recom- mendations of officers and committees of the Rhode Island Bar Association so that the members will be kept better advised of what is being considered and done in their behalf and so that they in turn may advise their officers and committees of their suggestions and recommendations. We shall publish appropriate infor- mation concerning calendars and ses- sions of our courts. We invite the justices of the Supreme Court and the Superior Court, the judges of the Fede- ral Courts and the judges of all other Rhode Island Courts to make use of these columns for such notices, an- nouncements, instructions and requests as they may wish to direct to the mem- bers of the Rhode Island Bar Association from time to time. We cordially welcome and invite letters to the editor and contributions of all sorts, but because of the modest space available, we must reserve full editorial rights of revision and exclu- sion. We welcome suggestions for the improvement of this publication so that it may become increasingly more in- teresting and useful to its readers. Notwithstanding this modest begin- ning, we have high hopes that some day the Rhode Island Bar Journal will be worthy of its name. In the meantime, we hope that we may have your indul- gence and encouragement. ARTHUR J. LEVY JAMES A. HIGGINS President of R. I.
