critical judgment. I try to be fair in my approach, and discuss his weaknesses, rough edges, contradictions, and blemishes as well as his strengths. I try to steer clear of the blind, totally uncritical admiration — hagiography — that personal friends and admirers of Holmes like Felix Frankfurter and Harold Laski had. In their enthusiasm, they lacked balance. I also try to be careful and accurate with facts and quotations, for this book has no footnotes. Footnotes, says Judge Richard Posner,…
