Omschrijving
A comprehensive, in-depth discussion of the most influential movement in American legal history, and one which remains more than fifty years later the subject of lively debate, this collection of readings, written largely between 1900 and 1940, includes works from prominent writers on the subject that have never before been generally available.
[A] highly useful collection....The selections chosen for inclusion, the introductory discussion of each section, and the extensive citations all make this an essential volume for the study of law in American society.
A very thoughtful selection of pre-Realist and Realist essays with marvelous introductory notes. Not just a useful teaching tool, but a valuable addition to understanding Realism.
This carefully selected and expertly edited collection of Realist texts should serve both students and their professors very well. It may well become a standard book for legal history courses.
Very useful in teaching American legal history.
Wonderful and very well edited. Every law student should read it.
A very helpful collection of well chosen materials.
An excellent collection of materials which will be an invaluable resource in my teaching.
High powered stuff!...Well done!
Comprehensive and rounded.
Realism remade the landscape of our law; in today's new world of transcendental nonsense, we ignore the Realists at our peril. Too many do, and this book is therefore essential. No one should leave law school without it.
Good collection of writings and thoughts on the subject.
