Cool Database of the Month: The Making of Modern Law

What Is The Making Of Modern Law?

The Making Of Modern Law has a large collection of legal-related publications that all had an impact on how our legal system developed. Every title in the collection is a scanned, searchable PDFs of an original document published between 1600 and 1978, including the complete text of more than 21,000 19th and early 20th century British and American legal treatises.

The Making of Modern Law Collection includes:

  • Primary Sources (1620 - 1970)
  • Foreign, Comparative, and International Law (1600 - 1926)
  • Trial Documents (1600 - 1926)
  • Legal Treatises (1800 - 1926)

When Would A Legal Researcher Use The Making Of Modern Law?

The Making Of Modern Law is for legal researchers that are looking for rare and hard-to-obtain resources published from 1600 through 1978. In fact, many of the materials in the database are no longer generally available to researchers at all due to their extreme age, rarity, condition, or value.

Example

If you’re verifying a quote from the 1769 book A Collection of Original Papers Relative to the History of the Colony of Massachusetts-Bay, you’re in luck, it’s on The Making of Modern Law.
