Morton Horwitz Wrestles with the Rule of Law

Balkin, Jack
Levinson, Sanford
Abstract
Surely one of the most widely cited book reviews in the American legal academy is Morton Horwitz’s review in the Yale Law Journal of E. P. Thompson’s Whigs and Hunters: The Origin of the Black Act and Albion’s Fatal Tree: Crime and Society in Eighteenth-Century England, coauthored by Thompson. As of summer 2008, this six-page review had been cited 132 times. This is quite a tribute to a brief book review that was published more than three decades ago.
