In 1906, Roscoe Pound presented “The Causes of Popular Dissatisfaction with the Administration of Justice” to the American Bar Association convention. It is a gift that keeps on giving. He probes the “causes of the dissatisfaction with the administration of justice,” limiting his focus to “civil justice,” and groups the causes under four “main heads.”

Two of them are “[c]auses for dissatisfaction with any legal system” and “causes lying in our American judicial organization and procedure.”
