John Henry Wigmore, dean of the Northwestern University School of Law, single-handedly modernized the jury trial with his 1904-05 Treatise on the Anglo-American System of Evidence in Trials at Common Law. Yet Wigmore’s role as a prophet of modernity has slipped into obscurity. This book provides a radical reappraisal of his place in the birth of modern legal thought.
