The path of the law and its influence

"Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935), is arguably the most important American jurist of the twentieth century. His essay The Path of the Law, first published in 1898, is the seminal work in modern American legal theory. In it, Holmes detailed his radical break with legal formalism and created the foundation for the leading contemporary schools of American legal thought." "This volume brings together some of the most distinguished legal scholars from the United States and Canada to examine competing understandings of The Path of the Law and its implications for contemporary American jurisprudence. For the reader's convenience, the essay is reprinted in the Appendix." "This book will be of interest to professionals and students in law and the philosophy, history, economics, and sociology of law."--Jacket.
