"The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience."
--OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, JR. "Max Radin is the rare and finished
product of our American legal system. He is skilled in the
semantics of the law. But unlike some legal scholars, and some
judges too, he does not use semantics to make law a facile thing to
fit the idiosyncrasies of the author or to satisfy the moods of the
moment. The law which he fashions is flavored with an earthy
quality of function and practicality. He is quick to sense the
enduring values of the democratic system and to see the law as the
vehicle for their perpetuation." -- WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS, 36
California Law Review 163 1947-1948 "Mr. Radin is too good a
logician to accept the popular antithesis between logic and
experience as contraries (white and black) or as contradictories
(white and not white). Rather, logic and experience are viewed as
divergent directions in analysis. The shape of anything that lies
within the field of law may be described, therefore, in terms of
distances from 'our ordinate of logic and our abscissa of
experience.' Upon this framework, Mr. Radin proceeds to analyse the
various compounds of logic and experience that constitute law,
evidence, arbitration, punishment, and justice." --FELIX S. COHEN,
54 Harvard Law Review 711 1940-1941 MAX RADIN 1880-1950] received
his LL.B. from New York University in 1902 and his Ph.D. from
Columbia University in 1909. He was a law professor at the
University of California, Berkeley, and UC-Hastings School of Law
and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. In
1940 he was the Storrs Lecturer at Yale Law School. He served on
the Commission of Uniform States Laws, California, from 1941-1948.
A prolific author, his works include The Legislation of the Greeks
and Romans on Corporations (1909), Jews Among the Greeks and Romans
(1916). Handbook of Roman Law (1927), Trial of Jesus of Nazareth
(1931), Handbook of Anglo-American Legal History (1936), The Law
and Mr. Smith (1938).
