and Now focuses on the quirkiness of the law and the humanity of
the people of the law. Highlighted are the recurring constancies

legal culture that are accepted in one generation and condemned in
another. The books final chapter Fallible All recapitulates the
theme that lawyers are far from perfect even as (most of them)
