Synopsis
Institutes Of Common And Statute Law by John Barbee Minor is a comprehensive four-volume survey of common and statute law, focusing on English, colonial, and American legal systems, with a strong emphasis on Virginia. This work serves as an encyclopedic reference to legal principles, institutions, and doctrines, particularly in areas such as family law, corporate law, property, and constitutional protections. It offers a detailed, cross-referenced exploration of topics including guardianship, marriage and divorce, civil and canon law, contracts, public governance, and taxation, while contrasting perspectives from England, Virginia, and the United States. The volumes also examine institutions and roles such as crown prerogatives, Parliament, and municipal authorities, along with thematic clusters like the relationship between civil, canon, and common law. Specific issues addressed include marriage contracts, custody, emancipation, and corporate regulation. The set includes extensive cross-references to statutes and case law, along with a comprehensive list of cases in the first two volumes.
