Book Review of William S. Pattee: "The Essential Nature of Law, or, The Ethical Basis of Jurisprudence." (1909).

William Sullivan Pattee (1846-1911) was the first dean of the University of Minnesota College of Law, serving from its founding in 1888 to April 4, 1911, when he died at age sixty-four. In 1909, his study of the myriad forms and understandings of law was published by Callaghan & Company of Chicago. The complete text is posted separately in the "Treatise/Textbook" category in the archives of the MLHP.

Dean Pattee's book was reviewed by W. E. Walz, Dean of the University of Maine College of Law, in the February 1910 issue of the Maine Law Review. The review is posted here.
