Law of the Commonwealth and Chief Justice Shaw

Through a critical study of Shaw's opinions, Levy sheds light on how his peers perceived rights, duties, and liabilities, the roles of government, and the nature of law itself. Overall, the opinions of Justice Shaw illuminate how liberty and order were comparatively valued, which interestswere deemed important enough to secure in legal moorings, and where the points of social tension, growth, and power were rooted.Levy, Leonard W. is the author of 'Law of the Commonwealth and Chief Justice Shaw ' with ISBN 9780195048667 and ISBN 0195048660.
