In this 1913 volume, Adams sets out the case for the necessity of the impartiality of law. Concerned about the dangers stemming from the great wealth and private power newly being created in America, he argues that the justice system can only be satisfactory when applied in an entirely egalitarian manner. Chapters include “The Collapse of Capitalistic Government, ” “The Limitations of the Judicial Function, ” “American Courts as Legislative Chambers, ” “The Social Equilibrium, ” and “Political Courts.”
