Book Description:

John Henry Schlegel recovers a largely ignored aspect of American Legal Realism, a movement that sought to bring the modern notion of empirical science into the study and teaching of law. He argues that empirical research was integral to Legal Realism, and he explores why this kind of research did not, finally, become a part of American law school curricula.
