London : Butterworths & Charlottesville, Va. : Lexis Law Pub., 1999. 4th edition. Paperback. xxxiv, 451 pp. (§Law in context). - This book aimes to broaden legal study beyond technical doctrine. Emerging from the socio-legal movement of the 1970s-1990s, the book highlights how legal rules operate in practice, not just in abstract logic. It draws on philosophy, linguistics, and jurisprudence to show interpretation as a social and political activity, influenced by institutions and culture. Historically, it reflected the shift from 'black-letter law' to interdisciplinary approaches, encouraging law students to see rules as tools shaped by human reasoning. Its continuing relevance lies in promoting critical awareness of how laws function within real-world contexts. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9780406904089.
