Sommario/riassunto

Karl N. Llewellyn's classic introduction to legal education, The Bramble Bush, has prepared generations of students for the study of law. Based on Professor Llewellyn's lectures at Columbia University Law School, The Bramble Bush introduces students to what the law is, how to read cases, how to prepare for class, and how justice in the real world relates to the law. Now with a new introduction and notes by Law Professor Steve Sheppard, Professor Llewellyn's celebrated work remains the best guide for those starting law school or considering a career in the law.
