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.

太笼统
评分终于看完了它……说是通识读本，但可能我本人并不是太喜欢作者过多“夹带私货”的感觉吧……整体感受三星，旁征博引以及作者的自己本身的各种思辨加一星
评分西方法律的起源（简单区分了下common law和civil law），五个主要的分支：contract/ tort/ property/ criminal law/ administrative& constitution law，法律和道德，法庭，律师，和法律未来的发展。
