Autorenporträt
David Dudley Field, an illustrious American lawyer and reformer, was born on February 13, 1805, in Haddam, Connecticut, and died on April 13, 1894, in New York City. Although primarily recognized for his pioneering contributions to the development and codification of American civil procedure, he was also a discerning commentator on political matters. His legal masterpiece, the 'Field Code' of 1850, overhauled the New York state legal system and subsequently influenced legal reforms both domestically and internationally. This legal luminary extended his expertise beyond the courtroom. In 'The Vote That Made the President,' Field provided a meticulous analysis of the controversial electoral processes and outcomes that have shaped American Presidential history. In this work, Field intertwined legal acumen with political insights, presenting an erudite exploration of the electoral mechanisms that are central to American democracy. Field's literary style reflects his legal background, marked by precise language and structured argumentation, aiming to distill complex legal and political issues to their essence for his readership. Although not as celebrated for his written contributions to political literature as for his legal texts, Field's monographs are invaluable resources for scholars interested in the intersection of law and politics in the formative periods of the United States.
