John Henry Wigmore single-handedly modernized the jury trial with his 1904-5 Treatise on evidence, an encyclopaedic work that dominated the conduct of trials. In so doing, he inspired generations of progressive jurists to reshape American law. This book provides a radical reappraisal of his place in the birth of modern legal thought.
