Paperback. Condition: Like new. Used like new softcover in matte printed wraps. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. 8vo. (5.5 x 0.6 x 8.5 inches) Includes notes, appendix, and an index. 168 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. One of the world's foremost scholars of Roman and comparative law here describes the nature of legal traditions and develops a general and coherent view of legal change. In four chapters, Alan Watson analyzes a set of particular legal events and facts, demonstrates their significance beyond their immediate context, and generalizes from them in order to construct a model of how law evolves. His masterful discussions of Roman contract law, customary law, and the reception of Roman law open out to a broader analysis of why and how law changes in mature or underdeveloped systems or when two opposing legal systems-even of vastly different levels of sophistication and from different cultural roots-come into influential contact.
