Media Reviews
'sounds dull but is brilliant ... It deserves a place on every British lawyers bookshelf ... it's an excellent anthology of the wisdom of transatlantic justices, such as Oliver Wendell Holmes.' Piers Brendon, The Independent on Sunday
'an often fascinating miscellany ... The editor ... has done his work with admirable thoroughness: sources are meticulously identified, citations comply with standard legal citation forms ... a treasury of writing on law that invites random reading for pleasure.' Times Literary Supplement
'For any lawyer with a sense of humour, or a sense of perspective, the Oxford Dictionary of American Legal Quotations is an excellent late Christmas present.' David Pannick QC, The Times
