Synopsis
The law is a subject that affects every one of us at every moment; yet for most people it remains an almost impenetrable mystery. The Law of the Land takes this important and often intimidating subject and makes it as clear as day. It traces the evolution of our legal system from its origins in medieval Britain, when trial by battle and ordeal (and even more primitive methods) were common, to our present judicial system in America.Along the way we learn about the start of trial by jury; the development of our legal rights; the origin and meaning of such legal concepts and procedures as stare decisis , equity, hearsay, pleading, and appeal; the way the law - and the meaning of the law - is forged in history.
