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
