In more recent years he has written extensively on the legal realists and the Warren Court.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing an earlier \u003ci\u003efestschrift\u003c\/i\u003e volume by his former students, this volume includes essays by Horwitz’s colleagues at Harvard and those from across the academy, as well as his students. These essays assess specific themes in Horwitz’s work, from the antebellum era to the Warren Court, from jurisprudence to the influence of economics on judicial doctrine. The essays are, like Horwitz, provocative and original as they continue his transformation of American legal history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54204282896728,"sku":null,"price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/transformations-in-american-legal-history-ii-law-ideology-and-methods-essays-in-honor-of-morton-j-horwitz","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
