The Eternal Struggle In The Law Between Constancy And Change Is Largely A Struggle Between History And Reason, Between Past Reason And Present Needs.

All Our Work, Our Whole Life Is A Matter Of Semantics, Because Words Are The Tools With Which We Work, The Material Out Of Which Laws Are Made, Out Of Which The Constitution Was Written. Everything Depends On Our Understanding Of Them.

Convictions Following The Admission Into Evidence Of Confessions Which Are Involuntary, I.e., The Product Of Coercion, Either Physical Or Psychological, Cannot Stand. This Is So Not Because Such Confessions Are Unlikely To Be True But Because The Methods Used To Extract Them Offend An Underlying Principle In The Enforcement Of Our Criminal Law: That Ours Is An Accusatorial, And Not An Inquisitorial, System - A System In Which The State Must Establish Guilt By Evidence Independently And Freely Secured, And May Not, By Coercion, Prove Its Charges Against An Accused Out Of His Own Mouth.

The Dynamo Of Our Economic System Is Self-interest Which May Range From Mere Petty Greed To Admirable Types Of Self-expression.
