Books by Jerome Frank

Presents a bold and persuasive attack on the delusion that the law is a bastion of predictable and logical action. This controversial thesis is that the decisions made by judge and jury are determined to an enormous extent by powerful, concealed, and highly idiosyncratic psychological prejudices that these decision-makers bring to the courtroom.

Gives insight into the operations of the courts, this work demonstrates the use of 'social sciences' in analyzing a legal problem. It is of interest to the lawyer, anthropologist, psychiatrist, and philosopher.
