Freund, Ernst. Standards of American Legislation: An Estimate of Restrictive and Constructive Factors. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1917. xx, 327 pp. Reprinted 2006, 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775522. ISBN-10: 1584775521. Hardcover. New. $20. * This book originated as a series of lectures presented at Johns Hopkins in 1915. It proposes a method to supplement the established doctrine of constitutional law, which enforces legislative norms through negation and review, by a system of positive principles that would guide the making of statutes and give more definite meaning and content to the concept of due process. Highly regarded since its original publication in 1917 and the winner of Harvard Law School's Ames Prize in 1919, it went on to become a standard work. It was recommended, to cite two examples, in Roscoe Pound's Introduction to American Law (1919) and Arthur Vanderbilt's Studying Law (1945). A comment published at the end of Freund's career summarizes the general opinion of the field: "The great quality which Ernst Freund brought to the study of administrative law was his capacity for analysis. He was the Austin of the jurisprudence of administrative law.": W.I.J., Law Quarterly Review 49 (1933) 588. * Esteemed by Vanderbilt and recommended by Pound for its treatment of judicial precedent, this book originated as a series of lectures at Johns Hopkins in 1915, Ernst Freund offered this work "to suggest the possibility of supplementing the established doctrine of constitutional law which enforces legislative norms through ex post facto review and negation by a system of positive principles that should guide and control the making of statutes, and give more definite meaning and content to the concept of due process of law" (Preface, v). Freund was Professor of Jurisprudence and Public Law in the University of Chicago. Vanderbilt, Studying Law 409.
