I don't think so but I'm shooting this question out anyway. Do you think Machiavelli's philosophy has any application in U.S. law (both state and federal)?
And do you think future lawyers should read Machiavelli?

You mean it isn't?I believe our government had dabbled in Machiavellian politics for the longest...Consider when the late shah was in control of Iran,we provided him with arms and looked away as he oppressed his people.When the Ayahtollah assumed control,we would not give him sanctuary for he was of no use to us.Yes,the"Prince philosophy "is alive and well in our government!

To the extent "The Prince" expressed any philosophy it was utilitarian & utilitarianism is applicable to any social system. However, it dealt with politics, not law, except to the extent that politics suggested certain laws as being more utilitarian than others to accomplish certain political ends.

No , The Prince was based on more authoritarian forms of government. There is no relevance to democracies.
