Arthur Linton CORBIN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Arthur Linton CORBIN (1874-1967) was a professor at Yale Law School and a scholar of contract law. He helped to develop the philosophy of law known as legal realism, and wrote one of the most celebrated legal treatises of the Twentieth century, CORBIN on Contracts.
CORBIN was born in Linn County, Kansas, on October 17, 1874. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1894 and briefly taught high school in Augusta, Kansas and Lawrence, Kansas. He earned his law degree from Yale Law School in 1899, graduating magna cum laude. Following graduation from Yale, he practised law in Cripple Creek, Colorado. CORBIN returned to Yale Law School in 1903 to serve as an instructor in contract law.
Career at Yale
CORBIN became a full professor at Yale Law School in 1909, a position he would hold until his retirement from teaching in 1943. During his time at Yale, he was strongly influential in turning the law school into the center of legal scholarship it is known for today. He convinced the administration to hire more full-time professors and enact more selective admission criteria, and helped to implement and popularize the casebook method of legal study created by Christopher Columbus Langdell at Harvard Law School.
[edit] Scholarship and writings
CORBIN wrote extensively in the field of contract law. His most famous work was the treatise CORBIN on Contracts, the original version of which was eight volumes long (though it has since been expanded). This treatise is still used today in American law schools and cited in law journals and judicial opinions.
CORBIN subscribed to the philosophy of legal realism, the idea that law was the product of human efforts and society. He believed that in resolving contract disputes, judges should examine not just the "four corners" of the legal document itself, but the intention of the parties, as evidenced by the course of dealing and course of performance between the parties, as well as the customs of the trade and business community. CORBIN felt that the main purpose of a contract was to protect the reasonable expectations of each party.
CORBIN's views are frequently contrasted with those of fellow contracts scholar Samuel Williston, who was more of a formalist in his thinking. Williston served as the reporter for the First Restatement of Contracts, but CORBIN's contributions were more evident in the Restatement (Second) of Contracts, which he worked on until his retirement from legal study at age 90, due to failing eyesight. CORBIN died at age 93, in 1967.
CORBIN's scholarship heavily influenced the drafters of the Uniform Commercial Code, particularly the work of Karl Llewellyn, who had previously studied under CORBIN.

Arthur Linton CORBIN was a leading legal scholar and professor who made significant and influential contributions to the development of U.S. contract law.
CORBIN was born October 17, 1874, in Cripple Creek, a small mining town near Colorado Springs. He was raised in Cripple Creek and then left Colorado to attend the University of Kansas, from which he graduated in 1894. He went on to the Yale Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1899. After several years of practicing law and teaching high school back in Cripple Creek, he returned to Yale in 1903 to accept a position as an instructor in contracts. He became a full professor in 1909 and remained at Yale until his retirement in 1943 at the age of 68.
"WHERE NEITHER CUSTOM NOR AGREEMENT DETERMINES THE ALLOCATION OF RISK, THE COURT MUST EXERCISE ITS EQUITY POWERS AND PRAY FOR THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON."
-ARTHUR LINTON CORBIN
During his tenure at Yale, CORBIN played a major role in establishing the institution as a major national law school and center for legal scholarship. He was instrumental in recruiting more highly qualified students to the school by convincing the administration to tighten admission standards. He also drew praise for his efforts to persuade the school to hire and maintain a full-time faculty that would be committed to teaching and writing, instead of relying on judges and practicing lawyers who taught only part-time and thus were not always available to students. In addition, CORBIN helped to implement the CASE METHOD of teaching at Yale, in which students glean the principles of law through the study of cases rather than simply by rote without reference to COMMON LAW as developed by the courts. CORBIN was a popular and committed teacher, even filling in as a writer and editor for the Yale Law Journal when the First World War left a serious shortage of student editors and contributors.
CORBIN made his greatest contribution to contemporary legal thought through his extensive and widely studied writings on the law of contracts. He authored many books and articles on the subject and served as adviser to the reporters of the first and second Restatement of Contracts, treatises designed to set forth and analyze the relevant principles governing contract law. CORBIN is best known for his own eight-volume treatise on contracts, CORBIN on Contracts: A Comprehensive Treatise on the Working Rules of Contracts Law, which was first published in 1950, 17 years after his retirement from Yale Law School. CORBIN kept his work up to-date until his death, through his own revisions and by adding new material to "pocket parts" at the back of each volume. CORBIN on Contracts quickly became a classic in the field for practicing attorneys and is still considered essential reading for students of contract law.
CORBIN subscribed to a "realist" philosophy in his legal writings and thought. He believed that the law is a critical part of everyday life and that resulting rules governing conduct had to reflect a changing social context. He wrote,
Law does not consist of a series of unchangeable rules or principles.… Every system of justice and of right is of human development, and the necessary corollary is that no known system is eternal. In the long history of the law, one can observe the birth and death of legal principles.… The law is merely part of our changing civilization.
In 1954, on his eightieth birthday, CORBIN reiterated his belief that law is inextricably tied to human experience, stating that the "development of our law-common, statutory, and constitutional-is part of the continuing evolutionary development of life in society."
CORBIN's legal realist views are strongly evident in his approach to contract law. The main purpose of a contract, he stated in his treatise, is "the realization of reasonable expectations that have been induced by the making of a promise." Reasonableness, he maintained, is an expression of customs and mores, which in turn could be discerned from what he called the operative facts of judicial decisions. To solve a contractual dispute, CORBIN believed, a judge should first determine the intention of the parties, and thus the terms of the promise or agreement; then analyze the intention in terms of reasonableness; and finally apply rules, doctrines, or other principles to determine what remedy should be offered. Above all, CORBIN believed that the reasonable expectations of the parties should be protected. Thus, according to CORBIN, even if the price term were left open in an agreement that otherwise had been concluded, the court should consider whether the parties had intended to be bound by the contract. The court, he maintained, should make every effort to fill in the gaps of an agreement by looking to reasonable terms consistent with what the parties had previously agreed upon. The contract should fail only if it appears that the parties did not intend to be bound, or if reasonable terms cannot be ascertained.
CORBIN further believed that in resolving contractual disputes, courts should not be limited
to a contract's "four corners" (the explicit terms of the agreement) or to the "plain meaning" of those terms. The parties' intent should be gleaned from what they stated and from their conduct; their prior course of dealing, trade practices, or any other pertinent circumstances also should be considered. CORBIN's views are evident in the UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE, adopted in 49 states, and in the law of contracts as developed by the courts since the mid 1900s.
CORBIN's views often stand in contrast to those of another leading American scholar in contracts, SAMUEL WILLISTON. Williston subscribed to the theory of legal formalism, which views the law as a body of scientific rules from which legal decisions can be readily deduced. Legal formalism dominated legal thought in the early twentieth century, and those who advocated its application viewed law as essentially conservative. Williston applied many of his theories in the first Restatement of Contracts, which the American Law Institute completed in 1932. Williston on Contracts has been a leading treatise in American contract law since the early 1900s and is still a competitor of CORBIN's treatise.
In addition to the Uniform Commercial Code, CORBIN also contributed to the second Restatement of Contracts, the provisions of which represented a considerable shift from the conservative views in the first Restatement. CORBIN continued his study and writing well into his later life, stopping work on the second Restatement when he was nearly 90, and only because of failing eyesight. CORBIN died in 1967, at the age of 93. The second Restatement was first published in 1981, 14 years after CORBIN's death. To a significant extent, the second Restatement advocates changes in the law of contracts, many of which are based upon CORBIN's views.

Lawyer, born in Linn Co, Kansas, USA. He studied at the universities of Kansas and Yale, and spent most of his career at Yale, where he transformed the law school's educational system. His major interest was contract law, a field in which he was the national leader, and he wrote on cases as well as scholarly articles, and was an adviser for the American Law Institute on revision of the Uniform Sales Act (19425). His major work was A Comprehensive Treatise on the Working Rules of Contract Law (12 vols, 1950).

Yale Law School <http://www.law.yale.edu/outside/html>/Bulletin/bul-study.htm>
"...Early in the twentieth century the organization of the Law School was put on a new and firmer footing. By 1902, the LL.B. curriculum had been extended, with few exceptions, from two years to three; in 1911, Yale followed the leading schools by requiring a B. A. of all incoming students (except those from Yale College). In 1904 the Yale Corporation at last undertook financial responsibility for the Law School, thereby relieving faculty members of liability for losses. Perhaps most important of all was the decision, finally made clear in 1903, to appoint mainly full-time instructors. And it was particularly fortunate that ARTHUR L. CORBIN was among the first of these. Under CORBIN's influence, the School slowly moved away from the "Yale Method of Instruction''-consisting of lectures and recitations-toward the case method, which had been developed by Christopher Columbus Langdell at Harvard and was formally sanctioned by the Yale faculty in 1912...
"Under CORBIN's influence, the School slowly moved away from the... to incorporate "policy
science,'' or to portray law... past has seen efforts to expand the forms..."

CORBIN, Crosskey, and the Constitution
Editors' Note: In 1953, Arthur L. CORBIN, the noted contracts scholar from Yale Law School, published a review essay (62 Yale Law Journal 1137) of William Winslow Crosskey's much noticed but quite controversial Politics and the Constitution in the History of the USA (University of Chicago Press, 1953, 2 vols.).
*****
(See CORBIN, "The Laws of the Several States, 50 Yale Law Journal 762 (1941); Comment, 47 Yale Law Journal 1351 (1938).) Professor Crosskey presents to us ten more years of this morass and, at the same time, destroys the supposed constitutional basis for the decision.
This reviewer has no doubt of the correctness of the authors view that the "common law" in 1789, in 1832, and for long years thereafter, was understood as a single system inherited by all the colonies and the USA; and that the words "trials at common law" as used in the Judiciary Act of 1789, did not include either equity or admiralty or much (if any) of the "law merchant" (in spite of Lord Mansfields recent efforts). This does not mean that our ancestors regarded the "common law" as a "brooding omnipresence in the sky." Undoubtedly, they had more notions of the existence of "natural law" than most of us now have; and they may have been unaware of the fact that the boundary lines between "law" and "equity" and "law merchant" (and even "admiralty" and "ecclesiastical law" and other local and less well-known systems of law and practice) had never been clean and well-marked, and that these boundaries were becoming and would continue to become wide zones of overlapping uncertainty. Without doubt, they had not clarified in their minds the part played by the judges in the evolution and proliferation of our legal system. How many minds are clear on that subject now? Their minds were at least as clear as have been those of a Court that has told all federal judges (as well as its own Justices) that they must accept as applicable law in diversity cases, the words of a Vice-Chancellor or of a trial judge in a county court, even though no other court in the USA is bound to do so.

Arthur Linton CORBIN Scholarship (1958). Gift in honor of Professor Arthur L. CORBIN, LL.B. 1899, LL.D. 1951, member of the faculty from 1903 to 1943, from the May Treat Morrison Foundation of San Francisco, California.
Arthur L. CORBIN (1875-1967), an alumnus of the Law School (1899), became the school’s first full-time professor in 1903, and remained a force at the School for over five decades. CORBIN was a giant of American contract law and an intellectual father of the Legal Realist movement that blossomed at Yale in the 1930s. His comprehensive treatise CORBIN on Contracts, in updated versions, still serves as a standard reference for judges and lawyers.
Typical of CORBIN’s scholarship-and central to the Realist project-was the effort to probe whether important legal principles did in fact inhere in the cases that ostensibly supported them. A famous example was CORBIN’s demonstration that “consideration” was not always required to make a contract binding. His recognition that “reliance” often supplied an alternative basis to consideration for contract enforcement was ultimately embodied in section 90 of the Restatement of Contracts.
CORBIN was also instrumental in the Progressive-era project of softening the traditional lines between “private” and “public” law. In an influential article, "Offer and Acceptance and Some of the Resulting Legal Relations," 26 Yale L.J. 204 (1917), CORBIN argued that state enforcement of contracts necessarily required the state to make policy choices as to how, when, and for whom that force should be used. These insights were central to the legislative and judicial revolutions of the New Deal. Notwithstanding CORBIN’s close intellectual association with Legal Realism, he was not a political progressive. In histories of the Realist movement, John Schlegel consequently does not consider CORBIN a Realist, referring to his “conservative” politics, whereas Laura Kalman does, in part because the Realists considered him one, including Karl Llewellyn, who called CORBIN “Dad.” CORBIN himself declined the Realist label, in a 1960 letter to Llewellyn: “I can join cheerfully with you in your kind of ‘Realism’ but I never wanted to belong to the ‘Realistic School’ or any other School (except, perhaps, the Yale Law School).”
At the Law School, a scholarship fund was established in his honor in 1958.
