Introduction to Legal Method (Book, 3Rev ed)

This is an exploration of the underlying questions of legal method and the place of law in society. In the first of the three books the authors examine the nature and functions of law, explain traditional classifications and comment on the use of law to control social behaviour. The second book considers the sources of law and methods of legal reasoning, while the third examines the wider dimensions of the law, exploring the concepts of justice and policy. Also included is a discussion of the legal systems of other cultures.
