Description
A Concise History of the Common Law by Theodore F. T. Plucknett provides a clear and candid discussion of common law, offering a source for understanding individual rights and the evolution of courts. This book is intended to convey a sense of historical development, rather than serving as a mere reference work. The first half of the book offers a historical introduction to the study of law, while the second half delves into the history of key divisions of law, including criminal, tort, property, contract, and succession. With careful exposition, Plucknett's work is suitable for both those new to legal history and seasoned scholars.
