Learned Hand is considered by many the third-greatest judge in the history of the United States, after Holmes and John Marshall, some might even rate him higher.Since judges remain at center stage in our legal system, one would expect Hand's career and achievements to receive sustained and critical attention from the legal academy.One would expect careful attention to such questions as whether there is a solid basis for the belief that Hand was such a great judge or whether it is just a piece of professional folklore or Harvard piety, what his greatness (if he was great) consisted in, how he can be compared with judges who sat on different courts or in different eras, what it was in himself or in his environment that can explain his achievements, what other judges can learn from his career, and what that career can teach us about the larger questions of jurisprudence and legal process.
