Broad Scope For Review

The editorial staff of the Harvard Law Review has this year planned to increase the scope of the publication so that articles of value may be added to the legal literature of the war. Noted lawyers and jurists in all parts of the world have agreed to write articles for the Review, and their publication has already begun.

"The Law and the State," a long treatise comparing the German and French political systems, by Leon Duguit, professor of law at the University of Bordeaux, comprising over 200 pages, is the most important work as yet undertaken by the Law Review. This will later appear in book form.

Other leaders in French administrative law who will contribute articles this year are M. Haurion, professor at Lyons, and M. Berthelemy, of the University of Paris. M. Valery, of Montpelier, will discuss international law under war conditions.

German and English Writers.

The German theory of political development will be explained by Professor James, of the University of Texas, in articles on the protection of the individual from the administration and by Professor Kruger of California in discussions about the German constitution.

Four prominent writers in England will cover the subject of the English constitution, and articles on Japanese and Chinese constitutional law will be published.

The attention paid to foreign political systems will not cause American government to be neglected by the editors. Several judges have signified their intention of contributing to the Review, including Judge Hough, Cardoza and Hand. Professor Thomas Rud Powell will write on public law in the United States.
