Abstract :
This paper presents the difficulties inherent in the development of a body of law for radio. It points out that that body of law must be based upon sound scientific principles as presented by radio engineers. The radio engineer as an expert witness may be able to avoid the difficulties encountered by experts of other classes and take advantage of important opportunities for the education of courts and commissions. As legislative advisers the members of the engineering profession have tasks of great responsibility. Radio engineers can bring about a healthy growth of law through cooperative efforts and group consciousness.
