What makes a great judge? How are reputations forged? Why do some
reputations endure, while others crumble? And how can we know
whether a reputation is fairly deserved? In this ambitious book,
Richard Posner confronts these questions in the case of Benjamin
Cardozo. The result is both a revealing portrait of one of the most
influential legal minds of our century and a model for a new kind
of study--a balanced, objective, critical assessment of a judicial
career. "The present compact and unflaggingly interesting volume
...is a full-bodied scholarly biography...It is illuminating in
itself, and will serve as a significant contribution."--Paul A.
Freund, New York Times Book Review
