Synopsis
This book explains how law grows from everyday social life into formal rules, and why justice must temper that process. It shows how uniform rules can clash with concrete fairness, and it outlines how America can shape world law.
Problems of Law, Its Past, Present, and Future examines big questions about how law is made, applied, and evolved. It contrasts structuring principles with real-world outcomes, and it asks how judges, legislators, and states can work together to balance stability with fairness. The text also offers a practical vision for engaging state governments in shaping international rules through carefully designed compacts.
- Understand how law starts from social life and is shaped by both rule and context
- Explore the tension between rigid abstractions and individual fairness in enforcement
- See how the roles of judges and legislators influence the evolution of law
- Learn a clear, step-by-step approach for states to participate in world law through compacts
Ideal for readers of legal theory and practitioners seeking a practical framework for lawmaking and international cooperation.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book's focus is on the evolution of law. The author contends that the study of legal evolution begins with social facts and institutions, and the problem always is to determine when and in what form law was applied to a given habit or institution. The author presents a detailed analysis of the various elements of the idea of law and identifies a number of potential evolutionary trends. He emphasizes the importance of identifying the various external, independent forces that may affect the evolution of a legal institution. He posits that the planetary system is a useful analogy to the law because it shows how complex motions of interrelated elements can be consistent with regular evolution. The book concludes with a discussion of the method to be used for tracing the evolution of a legal idea, highlighting the importance of considering both historical and social contexts.
