All lawyers have an in-built need to revisit the great cases of the
past. After all, that is the basis upon which common law is
founded. A retrospective look at the people and circumstances
behind the results of these great cases gives tremendous insight
and understanding, as well as revealing a human side to the events
which is not always apparent from the law reports. This collection
of essays examines key cases (both UK and international) that have
changed or created the rules and procedures which govern our lives
and which we abide by - cases which have changed our lives. The
book sets out the facts of each case and examines its impact, with
emphasis on the human angle of the story, including: * Who were the
people involved? * What was actually decided in the case? * What
happened later and how what was decided on the facts changed our
lives? * What were the later implications for that area of law
and/or other areas of law? * What legacy has the case left? The
themes addressed by the book support the rule of law, demonstrating
that using something as abstract as judicial reasoning, we create a
set of rules and procedures which govern our lives. The rule of law
involves the acceptance of this intellectual and abstract concept.
With contributions from leading practitioners in their fields, this
book gives an insight into the importance of case law and the
impact it has on our lives.
