Trade Review
"One of the best books ever written on American legal education. Besides documenting the history of Fordham Law, Kaczorowski makes three major contributions to the knowledge of legal education's history. First, it documents why large numbers of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century immigrants and their children needed the founding of Catholic law school. Second, it documents the factors that produce greatness in a law school. Third, it traces a conflict over the funding of law schools. No other work has addressed these issues indepth. Kaczorowski has done a remarkable job." -- -William Nelson New York University
