Focusing on a pivotal shift in legal philosophy, the book examines how American lawyers' perceptions of law evolved from viewing it as a natural phenomenon to seeing it as a human construct shaped primarily by judges. It delves into the historical context and reasons behind this transformation, highlighting its significant impact on the legal system. Through this exploration, readers gain insight into the implications of viewing law as a product of societal constructs rather than a reflection of natural principles.
