Description: Law touches every aspect of our daily lives, and yet the main concepts, terms, and processes of the legal system remain obscure to many. This Very Short Introduction, in its third edition, provides a lucid, accessible guide to modern legal systems, considering a number of social and political events that have had an impact on the law.
Review Quotes: "This is a beautifully and magisterially written VSI, a full law school in a book!" -- Carrie Menkel-Meadow, Distinguished and Chancellor's Professor of Law, University of California, Irvine
