“Demonstrates how legal realism developed a rich account of law by drawing upon the texts of Holmes, Cardozo, and Llewellyn; explains why those who claim to be modern legal realists have deviated from its legacy; expands the application of legal realism and reasoning to a contemporary understanding of legal theory; analyzes a range of core jurisprudential questions regarding the rule of law and the nature and structure of private law; revives our understanding of law as a growing institution balancing three tensions: power and reason, science and craft, and tradition and progress.”
