American law evolved primarily out of English law. Though it is now essentially American - the product of the American experience - it is still a mixture of the old and the new. While one lawyer is advising his client how to react to a ruling from Washington issued that very day, another may be pointing out that some course of action is blocked by a statute well known to lawyers at the time of Henry VIII. In this brilliant and immensely readable book, Prof. Friedman tells the whole fascinating story of American law from its beginnings in the colonies to the present day. By showing how close the life of the law is to the economic and political life of the country, he makes a complex subject understandable and engrossing for the layman as well as the lawyer.
