A Brief American Legal History is a concise overview of the intersection between law and social policy throughout the American experiment. Comprehensively surveying the broad sweep of law throughout American history—from its English influences in colonial America through the revolutionary period, the 19th and 20th centuries, and into the contemporary era—the book aims to reach both law and graduate students and the interested public. The last half-dozen chapters attempt to put recent decisions of the Roberts Court on issues such as race, gender, crime, and climate change into historical context.
