Summary: Judge Learned Hand is an icon of American Law. Though he was never nominated to the U.S. highest court, Hand is nevertheless more frequently quoted by legal scholars and in Supreme Court decisions than any other lower court judge in U.S. history. He was the model for all judges who followed him, setting the standard for the bench with a matchless combination of legal brilliance and vast cultural sophistication. Hand was also renowned as a superb writer. This book offers a sampling of the correspondence between Hand and an array of intellectual and legal giants.
