A common saying is that "we are all Realists now," but that is almost certainly false. Not only is the "all" an egregious exaggeration, but the form of Realism that survives turns out to be a highly domesticated one. Beliefs in the total determinacy of legal doctrine may have withered, but torts casebooks look less like Leon Green's than might have been predicted half a century ago, with the typical modern book relying heavily on the traditional legal categories of tort doctrine. Constitutional law is still largely discussed, argued, and organized in substantial disregard of what the attitudinalists have rather firmly established, and any student who thinks that a strong Realist perspective will be rewarded on law school examinations is in for a nasty shock.
