Description

Long regarded as a center for middle-American values, Indiana is also a cultural crossroads that has produced a rich and complex legal and constitutional heritage.

The History of Indiana Law traces this history through a series of expert articles by identifying the themes that mark the state's legal development and establish its place within the broader context of the Midwest and nation. The History of Indiana Law explores the ways in which the state's legal culture responded to-and at times resisted-the influence of national legal developments, including the tortured history of race relations in Indiana.

Legal issues addressed by the contributors include the Indiana constitutional tradition, civil liberties, race, women's rights, family law, welfare and the poor, education, crime and punishment, juvenile justice, the role of courts and judiciary, and landmark cases.

The essays describe how Indiana law has adapted to the needs of an increasingly complex society. The History of Indiana Law is an indispensable reference and invaluable first source to learn about law and society in Indiana during almost two centuries of statehood.
