Description
Excerpt from The Law of Arbitration and Award
England or the United States can furnish any thing in this department of the law of greater value. While that eminent jurist, chief-justice Shaw, was upon the bench, nearly all the opinions in this class of cases emanated from his pen, and it was a subject in respect of which he evinced a peculiar mastery. His Opinions are essays, elaborate, lucid, and convincing. I have made extensive extracts from them, since I have found no other authority so thoroughly satisfactory.
I have added no appendix of forms to aid in drafting submissions, awards, &c., for the reason that this assist ance seemed to me wholly needless. All these docu ments, so far as matters of formality go, are such simple instruments that a layman could hardly go wrong in drawing them, and no lawyer could need guidance. In matters of substance, on the other hand, where errors are more naturally made, no general form could be of real use. Mr. Russell''s forms are drawn with reference to elaborate English statutes and rules of practice which call for a considerable amount of technical precision. No similar necessity exists among us.
