Print on Demand. This book details the life and work of David Dudley Field, one of America's greatest legal minds, famous for his work reforming and codifying law in the United States and internationally. Born in Haddam, Connecticut in 1805, Field was admitted to the New York State Bar in 1830, starting a practice that would make him one of the most prominent and influential attorneys of his day. Within a decade, he began his decades-long work to codify the common law, a project that would revolutionize the legal system. His revised codes were adopted by several states, and his work on international law and arbitration helped establish him as a globally recognized legal authority. Field's legal reforms, driven by his belief in a system free from arbitrary power, were met with resistance, but his persistence led to their eventual widespread adoption. Beyond law, Field was also active in politics, serving briefly in Congress and playing a key role in the anti-slavery movement, including helping draft the anti-slavery plank in the Democratic Party platform in 1847. This book narrates Field's remarkable life and career, highlighting his pivotal role in shaping American law and his enduring legacy as a champion of legal reform. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
