Sinopse

Written in a lucid style and well illustrated, Justice Holmes: The Measure of His Thought offers a biographical look at the influences that have shaped his judicial outlook, especially his open-minded refusal to inject his own views into his legal decisions. The authors demonstrate&mdash,especially through United States Supreme Court Justice Holmes&rsquo,s 1919 opinions on speech&mdash,what would be obvious to a veteran of the courtroom, but not always to a biographer or a professor: that there is a big difference between &ldquo,questions of law&rdquo, before an appellate judge, and &ldquo,questions of fact&rdquo, determined by a trial judge or jury. The authors also examine Holmes&rsquo,s childhood and family influences as well as his Civil War experience that shaped his views on natural law and religion.The book describes Holmes&rsquo,s intellectual influences and includes photos of his book collection now at the Library of Congress. Through a discussion of the letters Holmes wrote at his Beverly Farms, MA home where he summered when the Court was not in session, we are given a window into his remarkable wit as well as his philosophical views. The book includes rare photographs of Beverly Farms.
