The principles underlying juvenile-court legislation are not new. While in some instances these principles have been greatly extended, their source is the common law, the juvenile court being a growth in, rather than a departure from, legal theory.

Bernard Flexner was a New York lawyer, philanthropist, and a prominent member of the Zionist Organization of America.
Background
He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the fifth son and fifth of the nine children of Morris (originally Moritz) and Esther (Abraham) Flexner. His father, born in Neumark, Bohemia, in 1820, had lived for two decades in France before emigrating to New Orleans in 1853, and thence, the next year, to Louisville.
His mother, born in the Rhineland, had emigrated to Louisville in 1855.
Education
Bernard's education was slowed by eye trouble, which kept him in the shadow of his brilliant brothers Simon and Abraham. Simon, two years older than Bernard, later became a noted pathologist and the director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research; Abraham, a year younger than Bernard, became a famous foundation executive and the first director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey.
Bernard Flexner studied law at the University of Louisville (LL. B. 1898) and afterward at the University of Virginia. Admitted to the Kentucky bar in 1898, he soon gained a reputation not only for his legal capacity, but also for his public spirit. Particularly concerned with the plight of young lawbreakers, he became an early supporter of the juvenile court movement which was then sweeping the country.
Career
The panic of 1873 ruined Morris Flexner's prosperous hat business and impoverished the large family. Before his death in 1882 he urged his children to avoid the commercial world and to seek professional careers.
He wrote numerous articles on the subject for Charities (later the Survey) and from 1906 to 1911 was chairman of the Juvenile Court Board of Jefferson County (Louisville), in which post he helped draft the state's juvenile court law.
Flexner hoped that the juvenile court would develop into a tribunal with broad power to deal not only with juvenile delinquency but also with the whole spectrum of family problems contributing to both dependency and delinquency; he felt it should have criminal jurisdiction over adults contributing to delinquency.
He also urged the development of professional training for probation officers and social workers. Flexner's legal skill led Martin Insull, brother of the utilities magnate Samuel Insull [Supp. 2], to engage him as counsel for the Insull utility properties in the Louisville area.
In 1911, when these small companies were being consolidated into the Middle West Utilities Company, Martin Insull brought Flexner to Chicago as the company's first general counsel. Flexner prospered greatly in the new market for utility stocks and bonds, and in 1917 he moved to New York City as a counsel for Halsey, Stuart and Company, the chief outlet for Insull's bonds. The move to New York was also prompted by Flexner's desire to give effective support to the Zionist cause.
In July 1917 he had served on the American Red Cross Commission to Rumania, where he had been shocked not only by the oppression of eastern European Jewry, but also by personally experiencing discrimination.
Becoming convinced that the Jews had to possess a legally recognized homeland in order to compete on equal terms with other peoples of the earth, he supported the Zionist Organization of America, then led by Louis D. Brandeis [Supp. 3], and served as counsel of the Zionist delegation to the Paris Peace Conference.
In 1921 a bitter conflict within the Zionist Organization of America between supporters of Brandeis and supporters of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organization, over the future leadership and economic policies of Palestine ended in defeat of Brandeis's program, after which he and his followers, including Flexner, withdrew.
From New York, Flexner found other ways to aid both Palestine and Jewry.
In 1929 the World Zionist Organization, seeking further to enlist non-Zionists in the practical work of building up Palestine, set up a new body, the Jewish Agency for Palestine, designed to represent all sections of world Jewry. The Brandeis group at this time rejoined the movement, and Flexner became a member of the Agency in 1930.
In other causes, Flexner joined with Newton D. Baker [Supp. 2] and others in 1928 to publish the complete transcript of the Sacco-Vanzetti trial [see Nicola Sacco] and distribute it to libraries throughout the world. He gave generously to the University of Louisville and, in the names of his brother Abraham and his sister Mary, established lectureships at Vanderbilt University and Bryn Mawr College.
When Hitler's rise to power drove many German Jews into exile in 1933, Flexner helped establish the Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced German Scholars.
In 1935 he was elected secretary of the Refugee Economic Corporation. Despite his active public life, Bernard Flexner was a private man who kept his own counsel. Though he could, on occasion, be curt with his associates, his personal loyalty and integrity and his legal and business skill were highly valued by the more famous figures whose lives he touched.
He died of pneumonia at the age of eighty at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City.
