Abstract
A legal scholar of exceptional status and unique insight, John Henry Wigmore quite literally wrote the book on evidence as commonly understood in and beyond his time, titled Treatise on the Anglo-American System of Evidence in Trials at Common Law or Wigmore on Evidence. He is also known for being one of the founding members of Harvard Law Review, and a professor and dean of the Northwestern University Law School.1 With a bibliography of over 900 works, including many addresses, law review articles, books, pamphlets and translations, his contributions to the study of law are simply numerous as he dedicated himself to the writing of many publications that continue to be relevant long after his death.2 The 150th anniversary of Wigmore's birth this year makes it appropriate to explore and commemorate these achievements and contributions to the legal field.
