Law underlies our society - it protects our rights, imposes duties on each of us, and establishes a framework for the conduct of almost every social, political, and economic activity. The punishment of crime, compensation of the injured, and the enforcement of contracts are merely some of the tasks of a modern legal system. It also strives to achieve justice, promote freedom, and protect our security. The result is a system that, while it touches all of our daily lives, is properly understood by only a few, with its impenetrable jargon, obsolete procedures, and interminable stream of Byzantine statutes and judgments of the courts. This clear, jargon-free Very Short Introduction aims to redress that balance, as it introduces the essentials of law and legal systems in a lively, accessible, and stimulating manner. Explaining the main concepts, terms, and processes of the legal system, it focuses on the Western tradition (the common law and the civil law), but also includes discussions of other legal systems, such as customary law and Islamic law. And it looks to the future too, as globalization and rapid advances in technology place increasing strain on our current legal system.

用户评价
This book only introduces basic information about law(Rechtswissenschaft), which is for laymen who want to get rough understanding of law.
评分超级喜欢这个系列的书。简短易懂. 让我懂得legal system是如何在西方社会建立起来.
评分太笼统
评分A nice book for introduction. But you'd better go for some other books if you really want to get a good understanding about common law.
评分法律这个话题太庞大了，一本小书确实不容易讲好。作者选择了一条最保险的路径，每个面都写点，其实还不如深入讲一两个话题。
