"[A] marvelous, multifaceted pointilliste portrait of the good, the
bad and the ugly faces of American jurisprudence through the
centuries. . . . The Yale Biographical Dictionary of American Law
is a delightfully engaging read. At times entertaining, at others
chilling, it is consistently informative and instructive. Once you
dip into it, you will find it hard to stop."—Martin Rubin, The
Washington Times
