The Nature and Process of Law:...

 20,995.00

Unlike other works in philosophy of law, which focus on the nature of law in the abstract, this comprehensive anthology presents law as a “process,” part and parcel of a system of government and defined constitutional procedures. Using the U.S. legal system as a model, it establishes the basis
of law in political theory, then presents substantive issues in private and public law, illustrated throughout with important political documents and court cases and stimulating readings in history, law, and philosophy. The editor’s detailed critical commentary, notes, and study questions make these
materials accessible and useful for a wide range of readers seeking a deeper understanding of private and public law and the nature of the political process.
