The Tapestry Of The Law

Download or read book The Tapestry of the Law written by E. Attwooll and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attmoll takes Scots law as a case study because it is considered to be a hybrid between continental civilian traditions and English common law and so more representative of a broader range of legal systems, and perhaps also because it was easiest to access from her base at the University of Glasgow. She juxtaposes the legal system with a number of theories, most contemporary, of or about law, and produces some tentative conclusions about legal theory rather than endorsing any particular one. Law students are her primary audience, but academics or practitioners of law may also find the account of interest. No subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
