HOW JOINING THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT HISTORICAL SOCIETY CAN BENEFIT YOU
Written by Daniel M. Kolkey
History plays a critical role in the maintenance of a stable, functioning legal system.
More specifically, any society’s legal system, if it is to remain stable and yet be responsive to contemporary society, must be founded on the wisdom of its ancestors, as modified and improved by the living, for the benefit of those yet to be born.
In a similar vein, Edmund Burke described society as "a partnership … between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born." (Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France, in the Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 3 (1899) p. 359.)
