Hamilton was the leading lawyer in his day in New York. He was acknowledged as such by such as Chancellor Kent and many others, few (other than you) dispute this fact.

Once again, NOBODY disputes that Hamilton was a skilled and generally well regarded lawyer. I do dispute your near-worshipful fawning over him though in which you try to pass him off as the greatest lawyer of all time or something very close to that. The fact is he simply was not. I have already given you easily half a dozen or more names of other lawyers who were by far more distinguished and famous AS LAWYERS than Hamilton, distinguished as he was, ever became in either his own lifetime or after it.

Coke, and Hale are rarely studied in Law Schools and almost none have courses devoted to them.

Oh really? A semester of English-American legal history is commonplace in law programs. Coke and Hale are standard in practically all of these courses.

All I say is that Hamilton was the greatest American lawyer of his day.

A course which mentions those names in passing will also mention Hamilton's (probably even more) but that was not your original claim. Blackstone is a different matter because of his role in actually providing a teaching tool that has been used by the generations after him. He would probably be considered the greatest lawyer of all.

If you doubt my statements about H read what Forrest MacDonald (and authority you seem to accept) has to say about him. I only give credit where credit is due.
