Roscoe Pound, Dean of Harvard Law School from 1916 to 1936 said, “The law must be stable but it must not stand still." One way to interpret his meaning is that a
system of law must have a method to change the laws as often as possible
system of law that is designed to adapt to society through principles such as common law and precedent is a stronger system
system of laws that are inconsistent and change often is a healthy system
system of laws must have a method to make sure that laws do not change often
system of laws that is designed to adapt through principles such as common law and precedent is not a stable system
