Lawrence M. Friedman is Professor of Law at Stanford University and author of 23 books about law and legal history.

A Modern Library Chronicle, this book is concise, insightful, and graced with wit.

The legal system in America is the basis of freedom as we know it today. The system is based, ultimately, on the common law of England, but it has grown, developed, and changed over the years. American law has been a critical factor in American life since colonial times. It has played a role in shaping society, but society - the structure, culture, economy, and politics of the country - has decisively shaped the law. Through history, the legal system has been intimately involved with every major issue in American life.
