Managing Legal Uncertainty offers an original account of lawyers in the New Deal. It challenges conventional wisdom in a provocative and persuasive fashion. --Robert Jerome Glennon, University of Arizona College of Law


Managing Legal Uncertainty offers an original account of lawyers in the New Deal. It challenges conventional wisdom in a provocative and persuasive fashion. -Robert Jerome Glennon, University of Arizona College of Law Richly detailed, Managing Legal Uncertainty examines the activities of the organized bar during the period of the New Deal in much greater depth than previous accounts. It will quickly become a standard, both in the legal history of the New Deal, and in the literature on the history of the profession. -Lawrence M. Friedman, Stanford Law School


Grounded in extensive research in local periodicals, congressional hearings, the reports and proceedings of the bar associations, and other sources, Shamir's account is our best yet of the corporate lawyers' assault on FDR's 'Wonderland of Bureaucracy'. . . . Managing Legal Uncertainty shows legal historians of the twentieth-century United States how to give ideas, interests, and institutions their due without dissipating the force of a historical narrative. <br>-- The American Journal of Legal History
