Nature of the Judicial Process

Nature of the Judicial Process
The Nature of the Judicial Process, written by Benjamin N. Cardozo in 1921, is a seminal legal text derived from his Storrs Lectures at Yale Law School. Cardozo, a prominent American jurist and Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals, examines the factors that influence judicial decisions and their impact on the evolution of law. He contrasts abstract legal principles with practical court applications, while also comparing American and English common law to continental European legal systems, making this work a foundational study in legal philosophy and jurisprudence.
