"Law in America is much more than a summary of Law's Greatest Hits. Friedman has deftly distilled 225 years of jurisprudence into a coherent, trenchant explanation of how American law has evolved."--Washington Post
"The small book is a persuasive account of how culture produces law....Friedman never shoehorns fact into theory."--The New York Times Book Review
