Overall, Jim Pfander's book is legal history at its finest. He has done thorough research, drawn reasonable conclusions from the primary sources, fairly acknowledged possible competing interpretations, and explained complex legal and historical ideas clearly. No one has a better understanding of the historical meaning of Article III. * Robert Pushaw, Balkinization Symposium *
