Synopsis

This book provides an introduction to the foundational principles of law for students and those new to the field of law. In this book, the author provides a survey of how law operates in society, with particular focus on the study of cases and the role of stare decisis (the doctrine of precedent). The author also discusses the role of judges in applying the law to specific cases and in shaping the development of the law over time. This overview will help students develop a better understanding of the nature and history of the law, the role that each branch plays in interpreting the law, as well as the relationship between law and morality.
