ABSTRACT
I have had the benefit of reading Robert S. Summers' article, " A Note on Symbolic Logic and the Law," 1 and Layman E. Allen's article, "Symbolic Logic and Law: A Reply."2 The controversy between Professor Summers and Professor Allen comes at a time when I am in the middle of a work of my own dealing extensively with the matters at issue. Thus, I feel keenly interested; but at the same time, I am hesitant to attempt a full or definite statement of my views. I wish, however, to make some comments on the issue, hoping that thereby the plus petitio that might be in each party's writings—or might develop in the heat of argument—will be reduced to proper pleadings of good causes.
