Product Description

Product Description

As its name implies, Legal Chowder: Lawyering and Judging in Massachusetts is an eclectic soup that combines the proudest with the most bizarre moments of Massachusetts legal history. An anthology in the truest sense, this book takes a fresh look at selected cases that have molded Massachusetts legal history, the distinguished persons who argued and judged them, and the institutions that have influenced them. An exhilarating walk from the utopian ideal of the Puritan Experiment to the profound transformation in legal practice of the past 30 years, this book examines all corners of the Commonwealth's rich heritage of legal thought, word and deed.

This book is part of MCLE's Legal Heritage Series—a unique collection of books that celebrate Massachusetts' rich legal history and the people, institutions, and stories that are a part of it. All proceeds from the sales of Legal Heritage Series books support MCLE's Scholarship Endowment.
