 Notes: An Introduction to Legal Reasoning
Levi sees case law as progressing in three stages: "similarity is seen between cases; next the rule of law inherent in the first case is announced; then the rule of law is made applicable to the second case" (2).
Levi's statement that the judge's "statement [of the rule] is mere dictum" seems odd to the novice, because when briefing a case a student of the law is led to believe that the very rule is precisely what is not dicta.
Perhaps Levi is meaning to stress that while a particular rule might be essential to the decision, the rule remains implicit in the decision and therefore open to future reconstruction—the judge's statement concerning the rule is therefore separate from the rule itself and therefore dictum.

Levi's shortcomings were intimately connected to the temperamental timidity from which he suffered, a timidity not unrelated (one suspects) to his inability to be completely comfortable with memories of the ways of his fathers, ways from which he evidently considered himself liberated.
Levi's elevation to high office nationally was that he was obliged to reconsider much of the legal theory, or jurisprudential principles, by which he, as a determinedly toughminded "legal realist," had been captivated for decades.
Levi that he came to power within the University of Chicago at a time when the faculty itself, unduly apprehensive about threats to academic life from within as well as from without the University, became inordinately dependent upon and grateful to the sophisticated lawyer who seemed to protect them from their own students.

 Brightsurf: An Introduction to Legal Reasoning (Phoenix Books) by Edward H. Levi
Interestingly, Levi quotes Aristotle in asserting that the pattern of legal reasoning consists of reasoning by example, and that it follows a three-step process: With the doctrine of precedent assumed throughout, a proposition describing a particular case is made into law and then this rule is applied to a situation that is similar to these.
Levi summarizes this as a process in which the classification changes as the classification is made, i.e., the rules change as they are applied.
Interestingly, Levi argues that the case for constitutional law is different, in that the judge has more freedom than was the case for statutorial or case law.

Lear was raised by his sister Ann, although Levi is unclear about when she took over his tutelage.

However, Edward cared deeply about the ALI and its Council for the same reasons for which he cared so much about the university: He was concerned about the fragility of two institutions that to him incorporated so much of the wisdom of man’s knowledge (and some of the error of his ways).
While as experienced and aware as anybody, Edward was, as Hannah Arendt once commented in a letter to a friend, "rather old-fashioned" in his commitment to "the search for truth," in the case of the university, and, we might add, the search for justice in the case of law and legal institutions.
To quote what former President Gerald R. Ford said at the memorial service for Edward: "With each passing year, it becomes more and more self-evident — Ed Levi is the Attorney General against whom all others are measured." As long as that is the case, there is hope.
