Major crimes in the United States reached an all-time high in 1954,
exceeding the two-million mark for the third successive year. In
spite of such groups as the famous Kefauver Committee, organized
crime continues to entrench itself in the cities. Meanwhile, amid
public apathy, the court calendars grow longer and justice is
delayed. Thousands of new laws are passed each year, often without
proper study, so that no lawyer today can achieve real mastery of
even one major branch of his profession. In this little book,
literally a challenge, Chief Justice Vanderbilt speaks out against
these situations and abuses. Drawing on his experience as Chief
Justice under the reformed court system provided by the 1947 New
Jersey Constitution, he explains the need for reform, the
importance of judicial administration, the problems of selecting
judges and jurors, and the importance of legal procedure. In the
matter of law reform he has long been known as a leader and
fighter. In his book, originally delivered as the White Lectures at
the University of Virginia Law School, he asks his readers to meet
the challenge of law reform. Originally published in 1955. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
