Beschreibung
In The Life of the Law, Alfred Knight gives us a "biography" of our legal tradition, from its beginnings in English common law up to the present day. He tells the story by focusing on the key individuals, and the pivotal cases, that have helped to mold the law as we know it today. We meet, among others, Aaron Burr on trial for treason, Earl Warren striking down school segregation, and two different juries trying to do justice in the case of Rodney King. Knight finds a riveting story behind each historic decision and recounts the tales with both narrative flair and ironic wit. At the same time, his reflections on how these cases have left their mark on our society will inform and fascinate anyone interested in the law.
