Summary
The opening chapter introduces the main thesis that the book expounds: Holmes articulated in“The Path of the Law” his theory of legal education. His approach to legal education reflected his ideas worked out in scholarship and in practice, on the nature of law and the best ways to advance legal knowledge. The chapter further explains the structure of the book, both as a work of intellectual history and legal theory.
