Opis: Business Law - Conyngton Thomas

Excerpt from Business Law: A Working Manual of Every-Day Law

In engineering, medicine, and almost every other department of human endeavor, there has been in the last few decades, marvelous development and achievement. In the law alone there has been no progress. We live under a cumbrous and archaic system that is exceedingly difficult to amend or to improve. Moreover, as a people we have a superstition that any kind of evil can be overcome merely by passing a law against it. As a result we are a law-ridden people. We are governed by the Constitution of the United States and the constitutions of our individual states; by the enactments of Congress and by the enactments of our state legislatures; by the ordinances of our boards of aldermen; by the regulations of boards of health; and by the orders and the rulings of many other boards, bureaus, commissions, and officials. With all this multiplicity of regulation, the ordinary citizen must exercise no small amount of care and study to avoid entanglement in the far-extended meshes of the law.

Yet from this unwieldy mass of law may be elicited certain guiding principles that everyone should know - general rules of conduct that will carry us safely past most of the difficult places. Knowing these, it is possible for a business man to go through life and so to shape his business course and his relations with his fellows as to have comparatively little to do with courts and lawyers. Courts and lawyers are necessary institutions - so are doctors and hospitals - but all of us prefer to avoid them as far as possible and as long as possible.

The theory of the law is admirable. The object of the law is to secure right and justice to all men.
