Law and the Modern Mind first appeared in 1930 when, in the words
of Judge Charles E. Clark, it "fell like a bomb on the legal
world." In the generations since, its influence has grown-today it
is accepted as a classic of general jurisprudence.The work is a
bold and persuasive attack on the delusion that the law is a
bastion of predictable and logical action. Jerome Frank's
controversial thesis is that the decisions made by judge and jury
are determined to an enormous extent by powerful, concealed, and
highly idiosyncratic psychological prejudices that these
decision-makers bring to the courtroom.
