Synopsis:

This book has a completely original theme, or set of themes. It offers first a new way of analyzing styles of legal reasoning--between more "formal" and more "substantive" styles--that is a major contribution to jurisprudence in its own right. The authors then go on to demonstrate in detail the differences in legal reasoning--and in the legal systems as a whole--between England and America, and suggest that the English is a much more "formal" system and the American a more "substantive." Finally, the book explores a wide range of cultural, institutional, and historical factors relating to the two legal systems.

About the Author: P. S. Atiyah is a Sometime Professor of English Law at University of Oxford. R. S. Summers is a McRoberts Professor of Law, Cornell University, and Arthur L. Goodhart Visiting Professor of Legal Science at Cambridge University, 1991-92.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book has a comparatively original theme, or set of themes. It offers, first, a new way of analysing styles of legal reasoning - between more 'formal' and more 'substantive' styles. This analysis, which is worked out in some detail, is a major contribution to jurisprudence in its own right. The book then goes on to demonstrate in detail the differences in legal reasoning - and in the legal systems as a whole - between England and America, suggesting that theEnglish is a much more 'formal' legal system and the American a more 'substantive' one. Thirdly, the book proceeds to explore in detail a wide range of cultural, institutional, and historical factorsrelating to the two legal systems, an exploration which is not only of value for comparative studies, but also confirms the argument in the first part of the book as to the relative 'formality' of the two legal systems. This original book first offers a new way of analysing styles of legal reasoning - between more 'formal' and more 'substantive' styles, then analyses the differences between English and American legal thought and practice, suggesting that the English system is more 'formal' and the American more 'substantive'.
