This book has a comparatively original theme, or set of themes. It
offers, first, a new way of analysing styles of legal reasoning -
between more 'formal' and more 'substantive' styles. This analysis,
which is worked out in some detail, is a major contribution to
jurisprudence in its own right. The book then goes on to
demonstrate in detail the differences in legal reasoning - and in
the legal systems as a whole - between England and America,
suggesting that the English is a much more 'formal' legal system
and the American a more 'substantive' one. Thirdly, the book
proceeds to explore in detail a wide range of cultural,
institutional, and historical factors relating to the two legal
systems, an exploration which is not only of value for comparative
studies, but also confirms the argument in the first part of the
book as to the relative 'formality' of the two legal systems.
