Reviews

Judicial independence from executive and legislative agendas has never been more important for constitutional integrity and national stability. The experimental logic of law, in the hands of philosophical pragmatism since O.W. Holmes Jr., can respect past precedent while attending to present-day life. Frederic Kellogg has impressively advanced our comprehension of American legal theory, and possibly rescued it from partisan occupation. --John R. Shook, University at Buffalo SUNY
