　　time. That is saying a lot, for it has some stiff competition. While its competitors
　　may outdo it in courtroom drama, character development, or investigative
　　suspense, none matches it in legal depth or dialectical agility It shows not what
　　makes some lawyer?s caseload interesting, but what makes law itself interesting. It
　　would not make a good movie; it is all ?talking heads.? In fact, the parts that
　　would make a good movie - the events within the cave - are over and done with
　　by the time Fuller begins his piece. Moreover, these events are not depicted with
　　cinematic vivacity, but described after the fact with judicial precision and bland-
　　ness.
　　Fuller?s live Supreme Court justices tranquilly but rigorously show the
　　complexity of the facts and the flexibility of legal reasoning. The live opinions
　　focus on different factual details and legal precedents, and lit them into different
　　background structures of legal and political principle. By these means Fuller
　　crystallizes important conflicts of principle and illustrates the major schools of
　　legal philosophy in his day. Fuller?s case has been called ?a classic in jurispru-
　　dence,? ? a microcosm of this century?s debates,? and a ?breathtaking intellectual
　　accomplishment.?*
　　Although only half a century separates us from the date of Fuller?s essay, the
　　legal landscape has changed profoundly. I have written nine new judicial opin-
　　ions on his case, with roughly Fuller?s own objectives in view, hoping to explore
　　important issues of principle and in the process to bring the depiction of legal
　　philosophy up to date.
　　While I would like to depict the major schools of legal philosophy today,
　　giving each its due, there are a few obstacles that subtly constrain the project.
