The nature and functions of law
29.99 €
A classic introductory textbook (and to a large extent anthology) on the case law system. The book focuses on the special social functions performed by law. It examines the most prominent aspects of criminal and civil proceedings, alternative dispute resolution methods (arbitration), the specifics of judicial argumentation based on precedents, some aspects of contract and labor law, as well as international human rights law, racial and gender equality.
A significant part of the book consists of excerpts from classic books and articles analyzing various aspects of the legal system based on case law. A unique feature of the book is the detailed analysis of several dozen court cases that have become key precedents for resolving various legal disputes.
In American colleges, this textbook is used as the only law course for students of non-law specialties and as an introductory course in law schools. In civil law countries, this book will be useful not only to students but also to practicing lawyers, legal scholars and law professors as a comprehensive introduction to the structure and functioning of the case law system.
