Description

From the Foreword

This volume contains the impressive record of the proceedings of the Second Annual Natural Law Institute held at the University of Notre Dame on December 10th and 11th, 1948.

This second Institute emphasizes the historical roots of natural law theory in five distinct eras of world history. Five accomplished and scholarly lectures graced the proceedings.

  • Professor Maurice Lebel, of Laval University, Quebec, gave the introductory lecture on Natural Law in the Greek Period.
  • Professor Ernst Levy, distinguished teacher of legal history at the University of Washington Law School, presented a profound and scholarly dissertation on Natural Law in the Roman Period.
  • Dr. Gordon H. Gerould of Princeton University followed with a sketch of natural law theory at the height of its early glory in the mediaeval period.
  • Heinrich Rommen, legal and philosophical writer, concluded the journey into the past with his presentation of Natural Law in the Renaissance Period.
  • The Institute was climaxed by a stirring address by Federal District Judge Robert N. Wilkin, of Cleveland, Ohio, on the present status of natural law in American jurisprudence.
