National Book Award Finalist “A learned, thoughtful, witty legal history for the layman” (The New Yorker).
What do the thoughts of a ravenous tiger have to do with the evolution of America’s legal system? How do the works of Jane Austen and Ludwig van Beethoven relate to corporal punishment? In The Law of the Land, Charles Rembar examines these and many other topics, illustrating the surprisingly entertaining history of US law.
Best known for his passionate efforts to protect literature, including Lady Chatterley’s Lover, from censorship laws, Rembar offers an exciting look at the democratic judicial system that will appeal to lawyers and laymen alike. From the dark days of medieval England, when legal disputes were settled by duel, through recent paradigm shifts in the interpretation and application of the legal code, The Law of the Land is a compelling and informative history of the rules and regulations we so often take for granted.

"Attorney Rembar is the counsel who successfully defended (mildly erotic by today's standards) literature before the Supreme Court. This work is a fascinating study of the history of law and a fine advocate's perspective of the western legal tradition from its British origins through modern statutory and regulatory systems.
The book opens with a man eaten by a tiger. Rembar then uses a Zen-like analysis of the man and tiger as the introduction to his unique perspective on the evolution and application of the law. A fine, fine effort from the author of The Death of Obscenity."

The Law of the Land The Evolution of Our Legal System edition by Charles Rembar Professional Technical eBooks Reviews
- I didn't comprehend how the first two chapters related to the subject of book until reading the rest of the book, so I wish the author would've articulated what he was trying to say about presidents and variations a lot clearer in regards to subject of book in those opening chapters; otherwise, thought-provoking narration on the evolution of legal systems.
- an astonishing (to me) lesson in the development of our laws & a lot of associated history you may not know. The writing is a model of precision & clarity. A joy to read
- A fascinating history of American law. Easy enough to follow even for someone not versed in the business of law.
- Very interesting information on a subject all too may of us think we know about but really don't.

- Charles Rembar was the partner to my own literary agent so I had planned on reading his books for years. Not only was Mr. Rembar a highly acclaimed literary agent, he was a very skilled writer. This book is not a dry read -- I recommend it to anyone interested in the legal aspects of the literary world.
- A general history nut with only a nominal interest in the Law, the book provided not only a boggling account of the historical underpinnings of contemporary Law, but a fascination with The Law itself. Read it not to "know" The Law, but rather to better understand it.
