In The Life of the Law, Alfred H. Knight outlines how some of the main contours of American law came to be as
he recounts twnety-one stories beginning with Alfred the Great in the late ninth century and ending with the Rodney
King trials in 1993. Knight gives us a veritable "biography" of our legal tradition by focusing on the
the key individuals, and the pivotal cases that have helped to mold the law as we know it today. The Life of the
Law finds a riveting story behind each historic decision and recounts the tales with both narrative flair and ironic
wit.
Every case, no matter how lofty the principles involved, represents a human drama, a clash of competing desires.
Alfred Knight's reflections on how twenty-one of these cases have left their mark on our society will inform and
fascinate anyone interested in the law.
