The New Haven School
The New Haven School was a school of legal theory and practice that was developed and taught at Yale Law School and named for its place of origin.

Jurists and Judges
Jurists and Judges examines the nature of academic influence,and particularly the influence of juristic commentary on judicial decision-making. Focusing on three legal systems, its author argues that inter-jurisdictional comparisons of juristic influence are often simplistic and inattentive to problems of incommensurability. The centrepiece of the study is a detailed chapter offering a nuanced history of juristic influence in England.

These industrious immigrants would soon go from peddling t...
