Patterns of American Jurisprudence

Zusatztext Patterns of American Jurisprudence is an extremely thorough! informative and persuasive study of American jurisprudence since the 1870s. Duxbury's historical analyses of legal realism and law and economics are highly original and impressive! and his chapter on critical legal studies is the best thing I have ever read on the subject. Informationen zum Autor Professor Neil Duxbury is a Reader in Law at the University of Manchester. Klappentext This unique study offers a comprehensive analysis of American jurisprudence from its emergence in the later stages of the nineteenth century through to the present day. The author argues that it is a mistake to view American jurisprudence as a collection of movements and schools which have emerged in opposition to each other. By offering a highly original analysis of legal formalism! legal realism! policy science! process jurisprudence! law and economics! and critical legal studies! he demonstrates that American jurisprudence has evolved as a collection of themes which reflect broader American intellectual and cultural concerns. Zusammenfassung `Neil Duxbury's splendid book will provide enjoyable and informative reading for anyone interested in jurisprudence ...It is a very fine book that fully deserves the high praise which it will undoubtedly receive.' The Cambridge Law Journal. The hardback won the 1996 SPTL First Prize for outstanding legal scholarship.
