Weaving together themes from the history of public, private, and constitutional law, The Magic Mirror: Law in American History, Second Edition, recounts the roles that lawin all its many shapes and formshas played in American history, from the days of the earliest English settlements in North America to the year 2007. It also provides comprehensive treatment of twentiethcentury developments and sets American law and legal institutions in the broad context of social, cultural, economic, and political events.The Magic Mirror begins by discussing the ways that the settlers dealt with one another and with the indigenous populations; it examines municipal ordinances; colonial, state, and federal statutes; administrative agencies; and court decisions. It goes on to relate the ways that property, crime, sale and labor contracts, commercial transactions, accidents, domestic relations, wills, trusts, and corporations were handled by police, attorneys, legislatures, and jurists over the centuries. The text also pays close attention to the evolution of substantive law categoriesincluding contracts, torts, negotiable instruments, real property, trusts and estates, and civil procedureand addresses the intellectual evolution of American law, including sociological jurisprudence, legal realism, critical legal studies, Law & Society, Law & Anthropology, and Law & Economics schools of analysis and thought.Featuring extensive updates by new author Peter Karsten, The Magic Mirror is ideal for courses in American Legal History.

Not What I Expected
I expected more engaging content, but the writing is quite dry. It covers important topics but lacked that spark to keep me interested. I might have to look for something more engaging next time.
