DESCRIPTION
The primary founder and guiding spirit of the Harvard Law School
and the most prolific publicist of the nineteenth century, Story
served as a member of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1811 to 1845. His
attitudes and goals as lawyer, politician, judge, and legal
educator were founded on the republican values generated by the
American Revolution. Story's greatest objective was to fashion a
national jurisprudence that would carry the American people into
the modern age without losing those values.
