About this book

A Common Law for the Age of Statutes (Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures) by Calabresi, Guido. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780674146051.

The dominance of legislatures and statutory law has put an impossible burden on the courts. Guido Calabresi thinks it is time for this country seriously to consider returning to a traditional American judicial–legislative balance in which courts would enlarge the common law and would also decide when a rule of law has seen its day and should be revised.
