Book Description
Excerpt from Cases on the Law of Insurance: Selected From Decisions of English and American Courts For years past the science of law has been taught by lectures, the use of text-books and more recently by the detailed study, in the class-room, of selected cases. Each method has its advocates, but it is generally agreed that the lecture system should be discarded because in it the lecturer does the work and the student is either a willing receptacle or offers a passive resistance. It is not too much to say that the lecture system is doomed. Instruction by the means of text-books as a supplement or substitute for the formal lecture has made its formal entry into the educational world and obtains widely; but the system is faulty and must pass away as the exclusive means of studying and teaching law. It is an improvement on the formal lecture in that the student works, but if it cannot be said that he works to no purpose, it is a fact that he works from the wrong end. The rule is learned without the reason, or both rule and reason are stated in the abstract as the resultant rather than as the process. If we forget the rule we cannot solve the problem; if we have learned to solve the problem it is a simple matter to formulate a rule of our own. The text-book method may strengthen the memory; it may not train the mind, nor does it necessarily strengthen it. A text, if it be short, is at best a summary, and a summary presupposes previous knowledge. If, however, law be considered as a science rather than a collection of arbitrary rules and regulations, it follows that it should be studied as a science. Thus to state the problem is to solve it; the laboratory method has displaced the lecture, and the text yields to the actual experiment. The law reports are in more senses than one books of experiments, and, by studying the actual case, the student co-operates with the judge and works out the conclusion however complicated the facts or the principles involved. A study of cases arranged historically develops the knowledge of the law, and each case is seen to be not an isolated fact but a necessary link in the chain of development. The study of the case is clearly the most practical method, for the student already does in his undergraduate days what he must do all his life; it is curiously the most theoretical and the most practical.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... the insured to recover the value of the oil which happens to be in the tank at the time when the fire occurred which destroys it (Western & A. Pipe Lines v. Home Ins. Co., 145 Pa. 346, 22 Atl. 665, 27 Am. St. Rep. 703). Other cases in which the same view is taken of the effect to be given to policies of fire insurance, which, by the agreement of the parties, are drawn to cover property which, it is anticipated, the insured will acquire before the time limited therein has expired, are Wood v. Insurance Co., 31 Vt. 552; Hooper v. Insurance Co., 17 N. Y. 424; Hoffman v. Insurance Co., 32 N. Y. 405, 88 Am. Dec. 337; Wolfe v. Insurance Co., 39 N. Y. 49; Lee v. Insurance Co., 11 Cush. (Mass.) 324. Up to the present time the question has not received consideration at the hands of this court. An examination of the reasons upon which the earlier rule rests has led us to the conclusion that they are not well founded, and that a contract by which the parties provide for indemnity against loss by fire upon property to be subsequently acquired by the party indemnified is not in any sense a gaming contract, and void on that account; in other words, that an insurable interest, subsisting during the risk and at the time of the loss, is sufficient to; support a policy insuring against loss by fire. The judgment of the supreme court should be reversed.36 SECTION 4.--WHAT CONSTITUTES INSURABLE INTEREST--LIFE INSURANCE '1DWYER v. EDIE. (Court of King's Bench, 1788. Park, Ins. Gth Ed. 574.) An action was brought on a policy on the life of James Russell from the 1st of June, 1784, to the 1st of June, 1785. Russell was warranted in good health, and by a memorandum at the foot of the policy it was declared that it was intended to cover the sum of 5000....
