Description
I Get out of the light, Lawrence Friedman has told legions of legal historians, and go down to the cellar. Upstairs you'll find only the history of appellate law. There, in floodlit reading rooms, celestial metaphors take flight--those judicial luminaries and penumbral rights, that omnipresence in the sky. But the law of society--the law as it's lived--is not the law made by common law judges, or even elected lawmakers, who leave their tracks above ground. It is instead the shadow of that law, cast across the streets and shops and tenements of town. The stuff of the law, especially criminal law, concerns those dredged up from the bottom of society. And they leave their tracks in the cellar.
