Professor Neil Duxbury is a Reader in Law at the University of Manchester.
`Neil Duxbury's splendid book will provide enjoyable and
informative reading for anyone interested in jurisprudence ... It
is a very fine book that fully deserves the high praise which it
will undoubtedly receive.'
The Cambridge Law Journal
`In a meticulously researched, coherently structured and extremely
readable text Duxbury offers the reader an intellectual history of
American jurisprudence brimming with insight and critical
analysis.'
Legal Studies
`Patterns of American Jurisprudence is an extremely thorough,
informative and persuasive study of American jurisprudence since
the 1870s. Duxbury's historical analyses of legal realism and law
and economics are highly original and impressive, and his chapter
on critical legal studies is the best thing I have ever read on the
subject.'
Richard A. Posner, Chief Judge, United States Court of Appeals for
the Seventh Circuit
