  The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
While at Columbia, Llewellyn became one of the major legal scholars of his day, and was a major figure in the debate over legal realism.
Llewellyn published a number of books, among them the posthumously-published The Case Law System in America (1989), and Jurisprudence: Realism in Theory and Practice (1962); The Common Law Tradition-Deciding Appeals (1960); The Cheyenne Way (with E. Adamson Hoebel) (1941), and Bramble Bush (1930), which was written especially for first-year law students.

  Legal realism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most famous representatives of American Legal Realism were Karl Llewellyn, Jerome Frank, Robert Lee Hale, Felix Cohen, Thurman Arnold, Hessel Yntema, Max Radin, and Leon Green.
Many of the realists were interested in sociological and anthropological approaches to the study of law.
Karl Llewellyn's book The Cheyenne Way is a famous example of this tendency.

 Llewellyn, Karl N.
Pound believed in disinterested expertise; Llewellyn preferred subjective "feel." Pound drafted and wished to impose a Western-style social science on provincial officials [in his work on Chinese Nationalist law]; Llewellyn listened to social "law-men" and tried to see the world through their eyes.
Llewellyn's poetry, in addition to two collections of published work, appears in The Bramble Bush, and The Common Law Tradition, Jurisprudence: Realism in Theory and Practice, as well as in early issues of the National Lawyers Guild Quarterly.
Llewellyn goes on, in the preface, to note that "One who earns his living in lawyer's work with words, must puzzle over the ways of words themselves.

 SSRN-Karl Llewellyn and the Origins of Contract Theory by Alan Schwartz
The essay claims that Llewellyn was an important founder of the modern law and economics approach to regulating contracts.
Llewellyn's recommendations for rules to govern concrete cases, however, are out dated because the economic thought of his time was too primitive to offer policy analysts much help.
The essay concludes with a showing that Llewellyn's contract scholarship differed substantially from the current view of what legal realist scholarship was like in general and what Llewellyn's work was like in particular.

 Karl Llewellyn and the Origins of Contract Theory
Though extensive anlyses exist of Llewellyn's performance in the first two of these roles exist, no studies use his original work to evaluate his performance in the third role.
This essay is predicated on the notion that Llewellyn's theory is best recovered from the articles that originally set it out rather than from later partial references by Llewellyn or from UCC drafts that commonly reflected both the work of the author and what it was politically acceptable to say.

Karl Llewellyn and Joseph Smith on the Couch
All of Llewellyn’s most private dirty laundry was aired, and his adult behavior was carefully correlated to the sexual dynamics of his childhood.
Llewellyn and I have more than our share of fights, and one of the great joys of being a commercial law professor is the ability to spar with the mind of Llewellyn as it lives on in the code.

 H-Net Review: William P. LaPiana on Roscoe Pound and Karl Llewellyn: Searching for an American ...
Llewellyn's interest in the Cheyenne project was related to his attempts to reform the law through the creation of the Uniform Commercial Code.
Indeed, Llewellyn wrote his therapist that "feel" "was at the root of [his] problems and successes." The link between Llewellyn's analysis of legal process and of his own life can be illustrated, of course, because of Hull's thorough command of the archives.
Pound and Llewellyn were bricoleurs, creatively cobbling together a working approach to law from the relevant bits and pieces of the works and ideas of others.

 ElectricNews.net:News:Face to Face with Karl Llewellyn, Homebased
Llewellyn's company is a testament to a seemingly voracious appetite for teleworking and home working amongst Irish workers.
Employers who Llewellyn contacts claim they have 'looked into' or 'tried' teleworking, and mutter mistrustfully about staff bunking off to watch Neighbours, while advocates promote the fact that it can bring the chance of fulfilment to many who would not otherwise have the opportunity to remain in work.
Llewellyn founded Homebased out of his call centre company Phone.Net, and has brought his father, Brendan, in on both companies with some money and plenty of advice.

 Roscoe Pound and Karl Llewellyn: Searching for an American Jurisprudence by University Of Chicago Press
Her approach is highly interesting: focusing not only on the written statements of each protagonist (which she handles with uncommon insight and skill), but also on the private discourse in letters and meetings between them.
Next, she develops first Pound's views on "sociological jurisprudence," and then the purported clash between it and Llewellyn's assertions re "legal realism." Along the way we learn quite a deal about both Pound and Llewellyn as individuals, as well as their abundant writings.
Humorous, engaging, and provocative, Roscoe Pound and Karl Llewellyn uncovers the roots of American jurisprudence in the lives of two of its most compelling figures.

 SSRN-The Article 2 Merchant Rules: Karl Llewellyn's Attempt to Achieve the Good, the True, the Beautiful in Commercial ...
In 1949, the Uniform Commercial Code was unveiled by Karl Llewellyn and his drafting-crew, which legally distinguished merchants and nonmerchants within Article 2 of the Code.
Section III explores the problem of deciding who is a merchant and why it should matter, using as an example the question of whether a farmer is a merchant under the statute of frauds.
Finally, section IV discusses the legacy of Llewellyn's Article 2 merchant theory and concludes that a thorough reevaluation of the merchant rules is now in order.

 Amazon.com: Karl Llewellyn and the realist movement: Books: William L Twining   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The book has many dimensions: a discussion of American legal realism; a biography of Karl Llewellyn; an examination of LLewellyn's writings and approaches to the study of law (particularly "The Common Law Tradition"); and still valuable bibliographic references (even though the book was published in this edition in 1985).
Twining knows his subject intimately, having studied with Llewellyn at the law school of University of Chicago in the late 1950's, as well as being the principal organizer and commentator on Llewellyn's papers (see his "The Karl Llewellyn Papers"--U. Chicago, 1968).
Twinings subsequent publications also attest to his acute analytical skills; his British perspective on the realists and Llewellyn adds a further valuable dimension to the book.

Professor Llewellyn claims that the number of promises made in society has risen over time from early history to the present.
  Now, Llewellyn says, promises are enforced unless good reason is shown that they shouldn’t be enforced.

 Lawyers and Money   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Karl Llewellyn's observations of some forty years ago, on lawyers and money, still ring true.
He observed "a brand of lawyer for whom law is making of a livelihood, a competence, a fortune.
Robert Hutchins relates the following anecdote about practicing law for money: "Seventy years ago a young New York lawyer went to see an old one in Wisconsin and found him in the evening reading by the stove in the center of his office.

One that comes to mind is Karl Llewellyn's Bramble Bush, which I read in the summer before I started law school, and which gave me an immediate head start on everyone else.
Although Llewellyn's writing style is antiquated, what Llewellyn teaches about the common law is still as true as ever.
In fact, much of the way I think today about case law and legal precedent came directly from Llewellyn's book, which at $15 was about $50,000 cheaper than the rest of my law school eduction.
