Book Synopsis The Civil Law Tradition by : John Merryman
Download or read book The Civil Law Tradition written by John Merryman and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A newly updated edition of “the most readable and succinct account of the origins, the development, and the philosophy of the civil law” (Houston Law Review). Designed for general readers and students of law, this is a concise history and analysis of the civil law tradition, which is dominant in most of Europe, all of Latin America, and many parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The fourth edition is fully updated to include the latest developments in the field and to correct and update historical details gleaned from newly published research on Roman and medieval law. In recent years, the legal profession has changed radically, with the growing international ubiquity of large law firms operating across borders (which was previously a uniquely American phenomenon). This new edition updates the book from the post-Soviet era to ongoing current issues, including Brexit and the status of the European Union. It discusses how civil law codes have shifted in some countries to adapt to modern and changing ideologies and also includes brand-new material on legal education, which is of central importance to the legal profession today.

Book Synopsis The Civil Law Tradition by : John Henry Merryman
Download or read book The Civil Law Tradition written by John Henry Merryman and published by Lexis Pub. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 1278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for use in introductory courses in comparative law or civil law systems, this book is the successor edition to John Henry Merryman and David S. Clark, Comparative Law: Western European and Latin American Legal Systems (1978). It is a successor edition rather than a second edition because it reflects the truly fundamental changes that have occurred in the relationships among the world's major legal systems during the past 16 years. First, the book recognizes the contribution of the civil law tradition to contemporary national systems in East Asia, Japan being the principal example. Second, the enlarged, 16 member-nation European Union, along with Japan and new industrial nations of East Asia and the United States, have become the principal players in world affairs. Third, with the decline of Soviet socialism has come a decline in significance in Soviet law. Fourth, one cannot ignore the increased presence of Latin America in our new multipolar world.
Book Synopsis Legal Culture in the Age of Globalization by : Lawrence Friedman
Download or read book Legal Culture in the Age of Globalization written by Lawrence Friedman and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-09 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays examines how the legal systems of the chief countries of Latin America and Mediterranean Europe—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, France, Italy, and Spain—changed in the last quarter of the 20th century. Through essays that provide a wealth of data on the courts and the legal profession in these countries, the book attempts to relate changes in the operation of the legal systems to changes in the political and social history of the societies in which they are embedded. The details vary, in accordance with the particular history and structure of the countries, but there are also key commonalities that run through all of the stories: democratization, globalization, and changes in the legal order that seem to be worldwide; more power to courts; a growing legal profession; and the entry of women into what was once a masculine club.
Book Synopsis Comparative Law by : John Henry Merryman
Download or read book Comparative Law written by John Henry Merryman and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Law is intended for use in law schools and history and political science departments with introductory courses in comparative law or civil law systems, as well as in European or world legal history. The historical perspective of Comparative Law introduces students to the family of legal systems common to Europe, Latin America, and East Asia. The book also introduces the discipline of comparative law, its scope, origins, objectives, and methods, while discussing the contemporary example of nation building (or law and development) and its limitations. Comparative Law is distinguishable from other comparative law books by its relative de-emphasis of rules and related doctrine. It also has greater attention to the intellectual history, structure, professional actors, and processes that are characteristic of civil law systems. The companion volume, The Contemporary Civil Law Tradition: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia, will present current trends in civil law countries and representative variations within national legal systems. This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.
Book Synopsis Legal Barbarians by : Daniel Bonilla Maldonado
Download or read book Legal Barbarians written by Daniel Bonilla Maldonado and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this novel and unorthodox historical analysis of modern comparative law, Daniel Bonilla Maldonado explores the connections between modern comparative law and the identity of the modern legal subject. Narratives created by modern comparative law shed light on the role played by law in the construction of modern individual and collective identities. This study first examines the relationship between identity, law, and narrative. Second, it explores the moments of emergence and transformation of this area of law: instrumental comparative studies, comparative legislative studies, and comparative law as an autonomous discipline. Finally, it analyzes the theoretical perspectives that question the narrative created by modern comparative law: Third World Approaches to International Law, postcolonial studies of law, and critical comparative law. For lawyers and legal scholars, this study brings a nuanced understanding of the connections between the theory of modern comparative law and contemporary practical legal and political issues.

Book Synopsis Latin American Law by : Ángel R. Oquendo
Download or read book Latin American Law written by Ángel R. Oquendo and published by Foundation Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new casebook introduces students to the richness and diversity of the Latin American legal tradition through cases, legal documents, and commentaries. This work uniquely compares the law of Latin America to that of Europe, as well as the United States. Latin American Law allows students to see the law in action and guides them through entire judicial decisions, demonstrating how litigation unfolds and how a different legal culture operates. Currently, there are no other cases and materials publications on Latin American law, and general comparative law texts only address Latin America as one of many areas of interest and do not focus on issues that arise in concrete litigation south of the border.

Book Synopsis The Contemporary Civil Law Tradition: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia by : John Merryman
Download or read book The Contemporary Civil Law Tradition: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia written by John Merryman and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary civil law tradition encompasses a rich variety of national legal systems more widespread geographically and with more people living under its domain than any other legal tradition. Often the rules of law look very much like those in the United States or other common law nations. As with United States law, finding the rule is often less of a problem than knowing what to do with it; it is the difficult business of understanding the contemporary legal system, within which the rules exist and operate, that the book seeks to illuminate. The Contemporary Civil Law Tradition: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia has two principal aims. First, to describe and analyze what is similar among the civil law nations covered here so that it would be appropriate to classify all of them within the same tradition or legal family. Second, details about what is different among the 13 civil law nations on at least two levels. One dimension presents civil law countries by continent, taking each group in the historical order in which they developed or adopted the civil law system: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia. The other dimension compares the individual national legal systems within each continent: France, Germany, Italy, and Spain; Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico; and Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. - See more at: http://www.lexisnexis.com/store/catalog/booktemplate/productdetail.jsp?pageName=relatedProducts&skuId=sku-us-ebook-03013-epub&catId=cat80094&prodId=10837#sthash.FfVb33oC.dpuf The contemporary civil law tradition encompasses a rich variety of national legal systems more widespread geographically and with more people living under its domain than any other legal tradition.
