200 Years 200 Books
On the occasion of Yale Law School’s 200th anniversary, librarians Fred Shapiro and Nicholas Mignanelli have assembled an exhibit of 200 books authored or edited by faculty and alumni. This is not an exhibit of the “best” or “most important” books, but rather it is intended to be a selection illustrating the variety of published volumes by members of the Yale Law School community. Many of the works listed are scholarly monographs. Others are legal treatises. Still others are casebooks. It is difficult to give examples of these three genres, or of the “nonlegal” books, because so many of them transcend categories. In the hands of Yale Law School authors, scholarly monographs may be powerful arguments on public policy or brilliant tools for instruction. Treatises may be master-pieces of scholarship. Casebooks may define new fields. The nonlegal volumes may motivate lawyers in a multitude of ways.
