- Kurzbiographie
- Professor Max Radin, the son of a Rabbi, moved to the United States at age four and grew up interested in religious tradition, as well as classical literature and the law. He taught in New York City’s public schools before moving on to various colleges. All the while, he contributed to legal and classical studies by writing on them and more importantly, by discussing them with colleagues and students. In 1922, he married Dorothea Prall, who died two years before he did. He was survived by one daughter, Rhea.

This volume includes Robert Henry's history of the jury. Starting from Rome through Magna Carta, then back to early Anglo-Saxon ("In early times compurgation was the normal and most usual method of proof for freemen" [142]) and picking up the grand jury. The civil jury traveled a long road through concerns of proof, attempts to check subornation and intimidation, and the right of challenge. [154] The modern jury is confined to fact-determinations, but that is "a most unfortunate historical accident". "[A]n institution which nobody really wants and which is very poorly adapted to serve the function required of it, has been fixed in our social structure and will be difficult to get rid of." [155] Points out the futility of separating questions of law and fact. [162]
Includes the profound explication of "epicheia" [epikeia] by Max Radin. He begins with the disturbing discovery that "in the ordinary process of legal adjustment...no real account is taken of justice, but a great deal of account is taken of particular words in statutes...documents...and decisions". [537] Philologers love words, but do not respect them as much. [539] Words are mere "explosions of breath", and justice should not hang upon them.
"Justice is a distributive virtue, it gives every man his due". [540] Radin applies a moral censorship of incomplete justice, and turns to Aristotle's epicheia -- a "straightening out of the law" where its application fails to bring justice. [541]
