Title: Not for beginners, but worth the effort
Review: Holmes completed this summary of the common law before (I believe) his twenty-eight birthday because he believed that a man had to make his mark early in life if he were ever to pursue greatness. The Common Law is a great summary of the law as it existed early in this century and provides some insight into Holmes' methods and beliefs that would shape his judicial opinions. The Common Law is not easy reading, but provides a firm foundation for readers to begin their study of this complex man.
