Rather than looking at treatises as shortcuts from 'law in books' to 'law in action, ' the essays in this collection ask what treatises can tell us about the issues that troubled legal professionals at a given time, what motivated them to write what they did, and what they hoped to achieve. This book, then, is the first study of the legal treatise as a 'law book in action, ' an active text produced by individuals with ideas about what they wanted the law to be - not a mere stepping-stone to codes and other forms of legal writing, but a multifaceted genre of legal literature in its own right, practical and fanciful, dogmatic and ornamental in turn. Law Books in Action will be of interest to legal scholars, lawyers, and judges, as well as to anyone with a scholarly interest in law in general, and legal history in particula\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Fernandez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849461414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849461412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Angela Fernandez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077631930623,"sku":"9781849461412","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_768e92b1-8fb2-4df2-b373-6db7126ad7cb.jpg?v=1685470987","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/law-books-in-action-angela-fernandez-9781849461412","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
