This volume includes selections from his significant opinions delivered while serving as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. It also features material from his career as a prominent lawyer and public advocate before his judicial appointment, providing context for the views he later expressed from the bench. The work considers how Brandeis's legal and social principles applied to the modern development of society, particularly concerning industrial and economic situations. An insightful anonymous contemporary review in the Boston Transcript notes: "The papers are primarily the work of a great lawyer. His work is considered to have a tremendous effect upon not only the body of law already assimilated and codified but also upon the law which is being called into being in response in response to the modern development of society, particularly as regards the industrial situation."
