He practiced law in Philadelphia from the late 1830s to 1847, when he left again for Europe. He died in New York City on November 11, 1854. Hoffman was influenced by the political philosopher James Harrington. He thought it was important for American lawyers to be familiar with Roman law and civil law. (en)
