The Path of the Law is an essay by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., originally a lecture published in the Harvard Law Review in 1897. It argues law should be studied as a prediction of how courts decide cases, and it distinguishes legal duty from moral duty. It remains a concise, influential statement of legal realism and the lawyer's craft.
