The Yale Law School Guide to Research in American Legal History


Book Description

The study of legal history has a broad application that extends well beyond the interests of legal historians.

Both groups need to understand the laws and legal practices of past eras. This essential reference is intended for the many nonspecialists who need to enter this arcane and often tricky area of research.
