Synopsis

Throughout the history of modern legal systems texts have come to gain legal authority without being issued by a legislature or a court. From Justinian's Institutes and Blackstone's Commentaries to modern examples such as the American Law Institute's Restatements, this book offers the first comparative analysis of non-legislative codifications.
