Description
Roman Law Essentials provides a clear and concise account of the structure of Roman government and society. It introduces the sources and development of Roman Law, before examining its three keystones: The Law of Persons, The Law of Things, and the Law of Actions. The final section explores how Roman Law was received into medieval Canon Law and the Ius Commune, a system that shaped many leading legal systems, including Scots law. This study and revision guide is an essential resource for understanding the foundations of Western law.
