About this book
This work reproduces Oliver Wendell Holmes's 1897 lecture on legal theory, in which he argues that law is best understood as a prediction of how courts will actually decide cases. It suits students of jurisprudence, legal history, and American legal thought.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

There are actually two notable people by this name, which creates ambiguity worth flagging rather than guessing: **Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. (1809–1894)** was an American physician, poet, and essayist, best known for his "Breakfast-Table" essay series and for coining the term "Boston Brahmin." **Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841–1935)** was an American jurist who served as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, renowned for his influential legal opinions and defense of free speech. If you meant one specifically, let me know and I'll give you a clean two-s
