Intro to Law, Supplement pg 1-2

Jurismania (Paul F. Campos)

The Efficient Process Theory
  • The law exists even when no one is breaking it; sometimes people forget this, especially lawyers.
  • (I like the volcano metaphor better than the iceberg metaphor; it allows for sudden and violent revolutions.) The law is like a volcano where the vast majority of it is unseen from the surface. The seen aspects are the island- situations where people resort to the law. A little rock on the top of the island represents all appellate court cases.
