The Common Law

by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

Originally delivered as the Lowell Lectures in 1880 and published in 1881, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.'s The Common Law is the foundational work of American legal realism. Its opening sentence — "The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience" — is the most quoted line in American jurisprudence.
