Book Synopsis
In the early twentieth century, Harvard Law was on the brink of financial and scholarly ruin. Discriminatory, intellectually arid, and nearly broke, the school struggled through World War II. Bruce Kimball and Daniel Coquillette chronicle the downfall and dramatic restoration of HLS as arguably the world’s most influential law school.

Trade Review
A major work of scholarship—forceful, original, compelling, and highly readable. The stories of the administration of Harvard Law School, of the rise and fall of its deans and their many tribulations, make for high drama. And the school itself is of course one of the key institutions of higher education and the legal profession, not only for its own achievements and standing, but because of its enormous influence on other schools. -- Robert W. Gordon, Stanford Law School
