Guido Calabresi is an extraordinary person. His family, of Jewish heritage, occupied a secure and centuries-old position near the top of Italian society-- until the rise of fascism.
Guido's parents fled to America on the eve of the war in Europe, with their children, to avoid political and religious persecution.
They arrived without money or social standing.
Guido's talents and good fortune helped him to thrive at several elite American institutions and to become a leading legal scholar, teacher,
law school dean, and
judge.
He would receive prizes and awards for his contributions; to legal theory, especially for opening up the area of 'law and economics'; for contributions to the modern transformation of American law schools, as the Dean of Yale Law School; and
for advancing the development of law including through progressive decisions as a member of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Outside In is a unique sort of account spread across two volumes and written in Guido's remarkable voice based on recordings that which took place over a decade. It is a unique amalgam of oral history and biography, with supplementary commentaries to explain, elaborate, validate, and interpret and situate the personal narrative within its larger historical context.
