The Southern Judicial Tradition : State Judges and Sectional Distinctiveness, 1790-1890 Paperback / softback
by Timothy S. Huebner
Part of the Studies in the Legal History of the South series
Paperback / softback
Description
This ground breaking examination of the lives and work of nineteenth-century southern judges explores the emergence of a southern judiciary and the effects of regional peculiarities and attitudes on legal development.
Drawing on the judicial opinions and private correspondence of six chief justices whose careers spanned both the region and the century, Timothy S.
Huebner analyzes their conceptions of their roles and the substance of their opinions related to cases involving homicide, economic development, federalism, and race.
Examining judges both on and off the bench - as formulators of law and as citizens whose lives were intertwined with southern values - Huebner reveals the tensions that sometimes arose out of loyalties to sectional principles and national professional consciousness.
