Americans are obsessed with their history. References to the founders are frequently found in American constitutional and political discourse. This historical fixation continues to produce thick volumes not only of political biographies, but also of legal ones. In addition to the many biographies of U.S. Supreme Court justices, one can also find biographies of leading legal academics including Christopher Columbus Langdell,1 Roscoe Pound,2 and Karl Llewellyn.
