Reform Reminder

“Reforming the Law” (“Business of America,” September) managed to jog some aging memory cells from my earliest, introductory days to the law now some two decades ago, when the mysteries of the Field Code were ever so briefly explained to the greenhorns populating the first-year class at the Duke Law School. “We stand more frequently in need of being reminded than we do of education,” Samuel Johnson is reputed to have said. I stand in need of both, thus I am doubly grateful for the piece.
