Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mississippi Law Journal, 1928, Vol. 1 The fundamental purpose of the journal is to perform a distinct and valuable service, (a) to the bar of the state by creating a forum Where interesting and Vital legal ques tions of a helpful nature to the profession and the judiciary of the state may be discussed. A forum in which matters peculiarly of interest to the lawyers and law students may find expression. It is true the bar of the state and the law students have had the benefits of great law journals, such as the American Bar J ournal and others of like nature, but these publications do not and can not take care of the local needs. One feature of the journal which should appeal to the bar will be the publication of the annotations of our decisions and statutes to the re-statement of the common law by the American Law Institute. A committee was ap pointed by the Bar Association at the Gulfport meeting charged with the duty of working out some plan where by our decisions and statutes might be annotated to thelaw as restated by the American Law Institute. The com mittee has been able to procure Chief J ustice Sidney Smith and Honorable George Butler of the J ackson Bar, together with members of the law faculty, to annotate our decisions and statutes to the subjects of the law already restated and those subjects partially restated by the American Law In stitute, namely, Conflict of Laws, Torts, Contracts, and Criminal Law. This feature of the journal alone should be of great value to the bar in Mississippi, especially, since the Mississippi Supreme Court will cite the re-statement of the law, (b) it will open a forum for the student of law who is not in the active practice, both in and out of the law school, for the discussion of timely and pertinent legal questions, together with comments on and criticisms of cases and questions of law passed upon by the Mississippi courts. These thought provoking legal discussions will be help ful to every progressive member of the bar. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
