LBJ's America: The Life and Legacies of Lyndon Baines Johnson
In innumerable ways, we still live in LBJ's America. More than half a century after his death, Lyndon Baines Johnson continues to exert profound influence on American life. This collection skillfully explores his seminal accomplishments—protecting civil rights, fighting poverty, expanding access to medical care, lowering barriers to immigration—as well as his struggles in Vietnam and his difficulty responding to other challenges in an era of decl…
In Defense of Progressive Legal Historiography
This article surveys the debate between “progressives” and “revisionists” about the Constitution and constitutional interpretation during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Contemporary revisionist scholarship assumes that its victory over progressive scholarship is complete. The article suggests otherwise. First, it summarizes the revisionists’ achievements. Second, in an attempt to improve the quality of the debate, it maintains…

Eating Spaghetti with a Spoon
In this essay, Laura Kalman examines Neil Duxbury's Patterns of American Jurisprudence. She dissects his treatment of the six significant jurisprudential movements of this century: legal formalism, legal realism, policy science, process theory, law and economics, and critical legal studies. Kalman especially admires Duxbury's discussions of realism, policy science, and process theory. She also finds his history of law and economics at the Univers…

To Hell with Langdell: [Commentary]
Two decades ago, I took Professor Carrington's Civil Procedure course. It proved one of my most useful and interesting experiences in law school. I learned Civil Procedure and something about lawyering, often through the stories Professor Carrington told about practice. Among other reasons, I enjoyed Carrington's classes because I did not fear the Socratic method there. As I recall, he was no Kingsfield, Pilot Brown, or Cement Pants. Rather, Carr…

Comment on Schlegel
Schlegel is right. It is difficult to swallow the notion that twentieth century history began twenty years late. I agree that the central issue for legal historians is the growth of the nation state's apparatus. We should indeed be concerned with the regulation and direction of an economy. Yet my own preferred date for the beginning of twentieth century legal history is 1901. More precisely, I would pinpoint 2:15 A.M. on September 14, 1901, the m…
