Title: Law out of context
First published: 2000
Description: "Alan Watson studies examples from the ancient laws of Roman and Byzantium, laws within the Christian Gospels, and policies of legal education in the modern United States to demonstrate the need for a new approach to both law and legal education. Law Out of Context illustrates that only by understanding comparative legal history and by paying more attention to changes in our society can we hope to devise consistently fair and respected laws."--BOOK JACKET.
