History of American Law pg226-267

Only forty pages yesterday, but really beginning to enjoy this book. Largely because of my interest in history in general I suppose. I keep wanting to pick up this book to finish it at the exclusion of all else, even my regular work.

Out of the forty, two observations:

p. 241

It was somewhat fortuitous that I read this just after reading "One L" by Turow. Both this section and Turow discuss the curriculum of Harvard Law School (the former in its infancy, the later more modern times). At its founding it seems the school cared little for politics and policy, based on Turow I surmise Harvard seems to be little concerned with anything but politics and policy.

p. 263

Once again the author makes a bizarre freudian reference to "sexual paranoia" in regard to racial laws. This time in the context of Chinese immigration. The author is about to be come a parody of himself on this matter it seems.
