An important lawyer and a philosopher Green was a friend of Holmes and Peirce leading member of the Metaphysical Club and one of the founders of pragmatism. As a lawyer his "favorite target was legal formalism-the belief that legal concepts refer to something immutable and determinate. His criticism of legal formalism was Wright's criticism of Spencer's evolutionary philosophy: he thought it treated what were merely tools of analysis as though they named actual entities" Menand.
