Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Modern, accurate, and legible edition of the classic work by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., analyzing the concept of rules and the development of common law in the United States and England over ten centuries. Presented in a clear and affordable format, yet with original pagination embedded to allow accurate citation or uniform references for classroom use. Includes photographs and images, Holmes's original Index, Preface and detailed Contents (features missing in many prior editions), and readable typeface. Holmes wrote this work from his famous 1880 series of lectures in Boston on the life of the law, the use of history, and the basics of torts, contracts, crime, and property law. Law, he wrote, is a response to the felt necessities of the time. And in the process he wrote a book that is considered timeless.

Biografía del autor:

Holmes (1841-1935) was a legendary Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and, before that, a recognized legal theorist and historian who brought law to modernity by establishing it as a function of history and policy, not just logic and precedent.
