Inhaltsangabe

Custom is simply the practices and usages of distinctive communities. But are such customs legally binding? Is custom a source of law that we should embrace in modern legal systems, or is the notion of law from below outdated? This volume offers a fresh perspective on custom's enduring place in both domestic and international law.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"In comparing these diverse areas of law, this rich study draws on an impressive array of methodologies and disciplines, including anthropology, history, psychology, and economics. Although Professor Bederman’s vision of custom is familiar in many ways ― he adheres to the traditional view that custom involves both objective and subjective components ― his contribution is nonetheless significant in its delineation of the jurisprudential and practical factors that explain custom’s staying power."
- Harvard Law Review
