This text argues that the American worship of law and legality can become so pathological it resembles a type of legal madness, or "Jurismania". It looks at law in American society, and concludes that much of what is called the rule of law resembles a form of obsessive-compulsive behaviour.

Jurismania Summary

Jurismania: The Madness of American Law by Paul F. Campos (Professor of Law, Professor of Law, University of Colorado)

In this book, Paul Campos argues that the American worship of law and legality can at times become so pathological that it comes to resemble a type of legal madness, or Jurismania. Campos offers an intensely critical look at the role of law and legal reason in American society, and concludes that much of what is called the rule of law resembles a culturally sanctioned form of obsessive-compulsive behaviour.

Jurismania Reviews

Jurismania provides a sharp reminder that the law cannot solve all problems, and serves up a chilling vision of a demented world in which regulation is all-pervasive and where respect for the law is lost through its misuse. It is a cautionary tale upon which we could do worse than reflect. * Roderick Munday, Justice of the Peace Volume 163 *
