This book is exceptional in the sense that it provides an
introduction to law in general rather than the law of one specific
jurisdiction, and it presents a unique way of looking at legal
education. It is crucial for lawyers to be aware of the different
ways in which societal problems can be solved and to be able to
discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different legal
solutions. In this respect, being a lawyer involves being able to
reason like a lawyer, even more than having detailed knowledge of
particular sets of rules. Introduction to Law reflects this view by
focusing on the functions of rules and on ways of arguing the
relative qualities of alternative legal solutions. Where 'positive'
law is discussed, the emphasis is on the legal questions that must
be addressed by a field of law and on the different solutions which
have been adopted by, for instance, the common law and civil law
tradition. The law of specific jurisdictions is discussed to
illustrate possible answers to questions such as when the existence
of a valid contract is assumed.
