We hope to receive contributions from practicing attorneys and judges throughout the state and elsewhere, as well as from the students and professors of all Florida law schools. Contributions should be sent to the Miami Law Quarterly. The purpose of the Law Quarterly is to publish scholarly articles of interest and of value to practicing attorneys and to students preparing for the practice of law. To be of interest, articles must deal with legal topics which actually arise today in the practice of law. To be of value, articles must be accurate and complete. We believe there is no reason why the standards of the Miami Law Quarterly cannot be placed as high as those of the many distinguished law reviews published elsewhere in the United States. As a general rule, detailed and exhaustive studies of single topics will be preferred over broad general articles which will by their nature be necessarily incomplete. In this way we hope in the course of time to build up a valuable working library of accurate and reliable legal studies for the practicing attorney. Law is not a static thing and it is the hope of the editors of the Quarterly that it will not only provide accurate discussions and analyses of the law as it now exists, but will also make some contribution toward the orderly and progressive development of our system of law to meet changing economic and social conditions. With that consideration in mind, the Quarterly will serve as a forum wherein decisions and laws will be analyzed and criticized and suggestions made for corrective and salutary legislation. Needless to say, neither the Bar Association nor the Law School assumes any responsibility for the views expressed in the Law Quarterly either in the signed articles or in the unsigned notes, which are the joint products of a group of students. The Law Quarterly will afford an opportunity for an expression of any opinions on difficult problems and controversial issues. Our only requirement is that articles be responsible expressions of opinions based on accurate and thorough study of the problems involved. THE EDITORIAL BOARD.
