Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1. Crime and Punishment 2. An Anomalous Decision 3. The Grounds for Rejection 4. Explaining an Anomaly 5. A Case Transformed 6. Riggs, Case Biography, and Legal Archaeology Epilogue: Second Lives IndexReviews"""Meyer … explores the origins of the case and discovers a key fact that significantly alters what the judges who decided it faced. He convincingly shows why that case was an anomaly in the jurisprudence of its era and for some time after [and] how and why it was raised by later legal commentators into an example of ‘excellence in judicial reasoning.'"" — Richard Hamm, University at Albany, State University of New York ""A major achievement of the book is the use of primary documents to supplement and explain the Riggs decision. The thorough research of primary documents corrects a frequently made assumption about the underlying facts."" — Debora Threedy, Emerita Professor of Law, University of Utah S. J.
