31 Law and Social Inquiry 313 (Spring, 2006) |

The Mirage of Indian Reserved Water Rights and Western Streamflow Restoration in the Mccarran Amendment Era: a Promise Unfulfilled |

His legal realism scorned abstract legal conceptualisms in favor of the law in action, while the treatise categorized and... |
