Evolution as both a science and a metaphor has had an enormous impact not just on scientific fields like genetics, but the social sciences as well. This volume demonstrates the enormous impact of evolutionary theory on one critically important social science—the study of law and legal systems. The original contributions are not meant as a history of accomplishments but rather as an impetus for future work, a goal which I suspect the volume will fulfill admirably.’ – Ronald J.
