Sir Carleton Kemp Allen's Law in the Making is one of the foundational texts in Anglo-American jurisprudence, praised by John Dewey in the Columbia Law Review and long regarded as an accepted classic of legal scholarship. First published in 1927 and revised through seven editions, this final and most comprehensive version incorporates legislative and case-law developments through the early 1960s. Allen — sometime Professor of Jurisprudence at Oxford and Hon. Bencher of Lincoln's Inn — surveys the historical and theoretical sources of law including custom, precedent, equity, and legislation with characteristic elegance and wit.
