The following conversation with Friedman was held more recently than that, in the afternoon of Saturday 27October 2017 in Stanford Law School (SLS). I had the great good pleasure to attend the International Junior Faculty Forum at SLS, which Friedman directed, in the company of many friends and colleagues: SLS’s own Nora Engstrom, Deborah Hensler, Amalia Kessler, and Rogelio Pérez-Perdomo; my old friend and collaborator Stewart Macaulay, Manuel M. Gomez, Anupam Chander, Eric A. Feldman, and Gillian Hadfield from Toronto; and from further afield Mavis Maclean andHelen Irving. Steve Stechter from Stanford University served as video technician. In our conversation, Friedman talks about his early career working on law and society at the universities of Chicago, Missouri-St. Louis, and Wisconsin-Madison, and his relations with Max Weber, Max Rheinstein part ii • legal cultures 1 For Friedman’s views on scholarship, see Kjell Å.
