1 Pac. L. Mag. i (1867)

handle is hein.journals/paclmag1 and id is 1 raw text is: INTRODUCTION.
WE submit the First Number of the L A W MA G A Z I N E
to the profession. The present issue, it will be seen, consists
of about ninety pages of reading matter.  It is the intention
that each succeeding issue shall contain about the same num-
ber of pages-some containing, perhaps, a few pages more,
and some a few pages less-depending principally on the
number and length of the decisions of the Supreme Court.
Our plan is to publish all the decisions of the Supreme Court,
commencing with the October Term last past, with a syllabus
to each case, and in such a manner that they may be readily
separated from the rest of the Magazine, if subscribers should
so desire. Thus the Magazine will consist of two distinct por-
tions-the first part being composed of original essays on some
subject connected with the law, important decisions of the
courts of Nevada, Oregon, and other States; of the Supreme,
Circuit and District Courts of the United States; abstracts of
recent important decisions of English and American Courts;
notes on judicial decisions; reviews and notices of law books, &c.
-and the second part being composed exclusively of decisions
of the Supreme Court of this State, with appropriate notes. It
is believed that, in this way, the decisions of our Supreme Court
can be furnished to the profession not only earlier in point of
time, but ia a more valuable and readable shape, than they can
otherwise be procured.
Our arrangements are full and complete for the publication
of the Magazine for at least one year. It will be issued on the
first day of every month; and although we are a little behind
the mark this time,-owing to a present scarcity of paper in
the market, and other delays incident to a first issue,-neither
subscribers nor advertisers need entertain any apprehension
