This book examines thirteen legal systems that have existed at different periods of human history, from Ancient Athens and Saga-era Iceland to modern-day Roma and Amish: how they worked, what problems they faced, and how they solved them.

Some chapters focus on a single legal system, others on topics across several, such as the problems of law based on divine revelation or how systems work in which enforcement of rules of conduct and punishment for violations are private and decentralized. Many of the legal systems under consideration functioned in a stateless society.

Consideration is given to law enforcement in Imperial China, medieval Ireland, eighteenth-century pirates, nineteenth-century North American Indians, eighteenth-century England, and some aspects of Jewish and Islamic law.

The last chapter focuses on institutions of past legal systems that the modern system could borrow.
