Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Friedman has deftly distilled 225 years of jurisprudence into a coherent, trenchant explanation of how American law has evolved.” —Washington Post Book World
“Alan Nebelthau reads with the authority of a seasoned professor. His low-key style helps  make a reader-friendly text even more accessible. But where Law in America truly succeeds is in Friedman’s ability to place legal occurrences in context, both factually and legally.” —AudioFile
“A concise and lucid overview of the development of the law as it parallels the track of American social, economic, political, and cultural history.” —Library Journal
“An elegant, thoughtful survey of the parallel growth of America’s legal culture and the nation itself.” —Kirkus Reviews
