The Realists' attention to the importance of the role of litigation, the practitioner, judges and judicial reasoning, and the judiciary's societal context represented a departure from the scientific casebook method introduced by C.C. Langdell at Harvard University Law School in the 1870s and institutionalized nationally over the following decades.
