First sentence: In New Zealand legal circles, it has been increasingly acknowledged that law does not exist in isolation form the rest of society.
Description: Law Alive is an innovative introduction to the New Zealand legal system, adopting a ‘law in context’ approach that will encourage students to see the law as a living part of the political, social, economic and cultural life of a nation. Covering all key areas of study in a legal system course, this text is written in an engaging style that will spark the attention of students. With a focus on current events (eg: The Treaty of Waitangi is included as is a discussion about the foreshore/seabed controversy) the book shows how the law works beyond the theory in a real-life context.
