Excerpt from Codification in the State of New York
In a letter of the date of January 29th last, Mr. Field requested me to undertake the preparation of an answer to Mr. James C. Carter's paper against codification, but the time allotted was much too brief for my opportunities. Since then Mr. Field has published his Short Response, which has rendered any further answer unnecessary. Notwithstanding this, when Mr. Field learned that I had made some progress in the direction indicated, he politely urged me to complete and publish what I had begun. I have accordingly done so, although fully realizing that he will be disappointed with the little I have been able to add to the discussion concerning a greatlv needed reform.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces and examines the arguments for and against the codification of the private law in the state of New York. The author, a prominent lawyer, engages with the ideas of several prominent legal thinkers as he presents a vigorous defense of codification in the state of New York. The author presents a detailed analysis of the differences between customary law and statute law as he builds an argument that New York would benefit from organizing its private law in a code. Exploring historical examples such as Justinianâs Corpus Juris Civilis, the author suggests that a move towards codification would not be as radical as opponents would argue. The author concludes by examining the impracticality of the constant judicial interpretation of the law and argues that codification would increase justice by decreasing the number of cases reliant on judicial discretion.
