Synopsis

This book is a multidisciplinary compendium of information about the law and legal systems across the globe. Ranging in its discussions from Roman Law origins to Canon Law and modern-day systems of government, the text is not only a comprehensive history of law but also a considered exploration of legal philosophy and the development of legal ideas and systems throughout human civilization. The author approaches the subject thematically and explores within the text the differences between systems, the ideas which unite different legal systems, and the ways in which the law serves the cultures from which it arises. A must-have for students and legal scholars, this book is an encyclopedic text which provides broad analyses of legal systems and legal philosophy for a general readership.
