| Abstract
|
:
|
This Very Short Introduction introduces the essentials of law and legal systems. Explaining the main concepts, terms, and processes of the legal system, it focuses on the Western tradition, but also examines other legal systems, such as customary law and Islamic law. And it looks to the future too, as globalization and rapid advances in technology place increasing strain on our current legal system. --From publisher's description
