Amalia D. Kessler examines the nineteenth-century transformation of the American legal system, tracing the shift from a collaborative model to the modern adversarial framework. By analyzing socioeconomic and political shifts between 1800 and 1877, the book illustrates how cultural values shaped the procedural norms that define contemporary American litigation.
