Description

Law: A Very Short Introduction by Raymond Wacks The law plays a vital role in every society, shaping our social, political, and economic lives. Yet it can also seem complex and inaccessible, with its own language and procedures. This introduction to the law aims to demystify these aspects, explaining how lawyers work and how courts operate. Wacks explores the philosophy of law and its pursuit of justice, freedom, and equality. He considers the impact of globalization, digitalization, and contemporary social and political events on the law, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the growth of surveillance. By examining these factors, Wacks provides a comprehensive understanding of the law in our modern world. This new edition offers a fresh perspective on the law, highlighting its relevance to our current society.
