What is law actually for? Roscoe Pound's lectures answer with a working philosophy: the function of legal philosophy, the end of law, and the great engines of liability, property, and contract examined historically and practically. From the scholar who taught American law to think sociologically. Argue jurisprudence with its modern master.
