Selected Writings of Sir Edward Coke, Volumes 1-3 (Hardcover)

The new Liberty Fund edition of "The Selected Writings of Sir Edward Coke" includes selections from the four volumes of the "Institutes" and cases from the "Reports," and several of Coke's speeches in Parliament. Taken together, these writings delineate the origin and nature of the modern common law and indicate the profound interrelationship in the English tradition of custom, common law, authority (of both Crown and Commons), and individual liberty. Coke's great law books and speeches are well represented on Magna Carta, citizenship, habeas corpus, freedom from wrongful search and arrest, the origins of law, judicial review, administrative law, judging, criminal law, the moral obligations of officials, the powers of King, Parliament, church, and the law, property and rights, and the profession and study of law. "The Selected Writings of Sir Edward Coke" is the first anthology of his works ever published.Steve Sheppard is a professor at the School of Law, University of Arkansas. He writes on constitutional history and theory, legal history, property law, and general jurisprudence, and he has edited "The History of Legal Education" (Salem Press, 1998).Click here for a pdf of the "Selected Writings of Sir Edward Coke" brochure
