In this set of three essays, originally presented as the 2006
Hamlyn Lectures, Sir Francis Jacobs tries to address some basic
questions. What is the function of law today? How has it developed
so that it now seems sometimes the final arbiter on social, ethical
and political questions? How does law relate to various values -
how, for example, does it reflect social values, and how does it
influence those values? With three main themes, each chapter looks
at law in relation to a different set of values. The first might be
termed constitutional values; the second, social or societal
values; the third, law and economy, looking at different economic
systems. In addressing these themes, the book will look
'horizontally' at different legal systems starting from law and the
State, but will point to the need for, and the advantages and
disadvantages of, a wider dimension in some areas.
