The dominant and deceptively simple theme of this book is the
relationship between the moral environment of the courtroom and
that of the society in which the court is situated. Like other Past
and Present conference proceedings, the volume ranges widely across
time and space, from ancient Greece to twentieth-century Africa. As
a consequence, it encompasses not only the highly professional
legal systems of the Roman, later medieval and modern worlds, but
also the relatively unprofessionalized courts of classical Athens
and of the early Middle Ages and the alien, imposed legal systems
of colonial Rhodesia and Kenya. The Moral World of the Law is based
upon papers delivered at the conference of that name, sponsored by
the journal Past and Present and held at the University of
Birmingham in 1996.
