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.

作者接受瞭這個挑戰。對民法,刑法,普通法等分topic論述。 還涉及瞭tort等,以及最近比較熱門的tort改革等等。 最喜歡是本書的最後一章the future of law.

評分超級喜歡這個係列的書。簡短易懂. 讓我懂得legal system是如何在西方社會建立起來.
評分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.
評分在特彆焦慮和沮喪的狀態下竟然讀完瞭這一本書,也是沒想到。幾天前看到有豆瓣話題“雖然是小冊子但讀起來超慢的書”——必須想到牛津通識係列。連讀瞭三本社會科學相關,每一本都充滿瞭聯係,每位學者都在書的結尾寫滿對人類的關心和擔憂,每個人除瞭專業不同,卻分彆在寫作上達到瞭一個境界,即便讀完瞭忘記瞭內容(讀完就忘,對我來說簡直傢常便發飯:s),但寫作之美我是領略到瞭。法律,如此龐大的內容,作者用這本百頁小書以六章的形式講解齣來,主要以橫嚮對比法係,縱嚮梳理法律相關製度的方式來介紹,並在最後講述瞭法律的未來。看到美劇舉例我以為成書是00年左右,結果發現齣版是08年。而那時候對法律的預測,其實今天來看全部應驗瞭。
