Sir Frederick Pollock, 3rd Baronet
- Sir Frederick Pollock, 3rd Baronet
Sir Frederick Pollock, 3rd Baronet PC (December 10 1845-January 18 1937) was an English jurist best known for his "History of English Law before the Time of Edward I", written with F.W. Maitland, and his lifelong correspondence with US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. He was admitted to the Privy Council in 1911. He was educated at Hawkshead Grammar School and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1871 he was admitted to the Bar. He wrote a series of text books that took a new approach to the teaching of English Law including 'The Principles of Contract at Law and in Equity' (1876) and 'The Law of Torts (1877). Rather than relying on specific applications of law these works emphasised underlying principles. They acted as models for future textbooks and helped modernise English legal education. Pollock taught at the University of Oxford (1883-1903)
Other works include
*"The Principles of Contract" 1876,
*"The Law of Torts" 1888,
*"Leading Cases Done into English" 1876 and
*"For My Grandson" 1933
Pollock was the grandson of Sir Frederick Pollock, 1st Baronet, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, the great-nephew of Field Marshal Sir George Pollock, 1st Baronet, and the first cousin of Ernest Pollock, 1st Viscount Hanworth, Master of the Rolls.
