From the publisher : The realities of the legal system are amongst the best-kept secrets of English life. A great deal that is sensational or obscurely impressive is written about the law. The general public is aware only of its more sensational aspects. Yet the true nature of the common law is hidden behind its baffling complexity and its formidable power, while little is known either of the men who maintain its apparatus or of its social con- sequences. The life of the law is said to be history, but today it is not the Anglo-Saxon dooms, the Court of Star Chamber or even the melodramatic advocacy of Edwardian counsel that need to be studied. It is much more relevant to understand who the lawyers are and how they are organized, to analyse the social system of the courts and to examine the access of the ordinary citizen to justice. If Parliament is to reform the courts and the Law Commissioners are to recast the content of the law, then this is a vital subject for every citizen, administrator, social scientist and lawyer. In an easy style but with great learning Brian Abel-Smith and Robert Stevens explore this fascinating area of modern social and legal history. Sometimes with humour, sometimes with indignation and always with force and clarity they have produced the only modern exposition of a topic which is of prime importance for the wellbeing of our society. For once the cliché is true: this is a book one cannot afford to neglect, nor will one want to. Condition : very good copy. Keywords : RECHT, *2006-100 rechtsgeschiedenis.
