Review of Braid of Feathers
I like thin books with thick subject matter. I also like book titles that herald the contents. This book does both. In an essay of 200 pages, Frank Pommersheim, a Lakota tribal judge, artfully braids together the variegatedfeathers of tribal sovereignty. Experience, Culture, History, Language,Politics, and Law, not just Acts of Congress (treaties, statutes),decisions of the United States Supreme Court, and executive action (ordersand regulations) shape, limit, and ultimately enhance or diminish tribalsovereignty. The author, sometimes poetically, sometimes polemically, butalways pointedly argues that tribal courts are the fundamental institutionof legitimate, authentic tribal self-determination. ...

A Short Guide to Legal History
The author is a law professor, attorney, and social scientist (Ph.D. in political science). The 100 people in this book were selected as those who had "the most impact on" the evolution of Anglo-American law. Not all of the people listed here are lawyers. Lawyers have played an important role in bringing democracy, individual freedom, and economic prosperity; sometimes at great personal sacrifice. This list was derived from law professors at American law schools. The ranking is by the author alone. The 'Preface' explains his choices. Most of the people listed here led lives that could make interesting films. This book is written for a general audience. Placing these people in historical order would be more educational.
An interesting look at the figures who shaped jurisprudence
It offers a top 100 legal list of attorneys, jurists, judges, statesmen, philosophers and political theorists through the ages that have a profound influence on Western Jurisprudence. The Legal 100 places a particular emphasis on Anglo-American law. I guess this book is fairly balanced ideologically. Though, it has quite a few figures who organized the law for the purpose of 'legal plunder.' Granted, they've had a profound influence on contemporary law too. It is probably one of those books like Black's Law Dictionary, that every student of law should have. My only gripe is that the classical liberal statesmen and economist, Frederic Bastiat, was not included.Read more
