Twelve Tables Press Announces the Publication of C. Evan Stewart's 'Law in American History (And in Mine)'

From the coming of the Civil War, to the great trials, lawyer and historian C. Evan Stewart spins wonderful yarns about the law in these United States.

NORTHPORT, NY, UNITED STATES, May 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Twelve Tables Press today announces its newest publication, Law in American History (And in Mine) by C. Evan Stewart, author of the Worst Supreme Court Decisions, Ever!, and Myron Taylor: The Man Nobody Knew. Available via Amazon.com Books, Distributors Ingram and Baker & Taylor for library and bookstore sales, or directly from Twelve Tables Press at www.twelvetablespress.com

“I have read Evan Stewart before—as litigator, historian, and legal scholar. But in this latest magisterial effort, one encounters Stewart speaking in a different register, this time as raconteur, legal provocateur, contrarian, polemicist (in the best sense). In each chapter, I was challenged by fresh insights that made me question my previous intuitions about famous cases, personalities, and events. And his impish sense of humor shines through despite the seriousness of the task.”—Jens David Ohlin, Dean & Professor of Law, Cornell Law School

This book charts that uneven trajectory, investigating great and infamous trials, chronicling historic individuals’ entanglements within the legal system, demonstrating how the high and mighty have sometimes gotten away (literally) with murder, illustrating the significance of individual lawyers to our nation, and revealing how single trials and hearings have changed the course of American history. C. Evan Stewart pulls no punches in his compelling accounts of the law during our country’s 200-plus years.
