Law in America

I thoroughly enjoyed Lawrence M. Friedman's Law in America: A Short History.

It IS very short. And very breezy. It discusses a vast range of topics in brief and broad terms. Too brief perhaps, and too broad for the significance of some of these issues (such as slavery and labor laws), but it provides a useful, intelligent and insightful overview. In general, a great resource for students.
