What should a judge do when he must hand down a ruling based on a law that he considers unjust or oppressive? This question is examined through a series of problems concerning unjust law that arose with respect to slavery in nineteenthcentury America.Covers book is splendid in many ways. His legal history and legal philosophy are both first class. . . . This is, for a change, an interdisciplinary work that is a credit to both disciplines.Ronald Dworkin, Times Literary SupplementScholars should be grateful to Cover for his often brilliant illumination of tensions created in judges by changing eighteenth and nineteenthcentury jurisprudential attitudes and legal standards. . . An exciting adventure in interdisciplinary history.Harold M. Hyman, American Historical ReviewA most articulate, sophisticated, and learned defense of legal formalism. . . Deserves and needs to be widely read.Don Roper, Journal of American HistoryAn excellent illustration of the way in which a burning moral issue relates to the American judicial process. The book thus has both historical value and a very immediate importance.Edwards A. Stettner, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social ScienceA really fine book, an important contribution to law and to history.Louis H. Pollak
