Challenging the usual introductions to the study of law, A Critical
Introduction to Law argues that law is inherently political and
reflects the interests of the few even while presenting itself as
neutral. This fully revised and updated fourth edition provides
contemporary examples to demonstrate the relevance of these
arguments in the twenty-first century. The book includes an
analysis of the common sense of law; the use of anthropological
examples to gain external perspectives of our use and understanding
of law; a consideration of central legal concepts, such as order,
rules, property, dispute resolution, legitimation and the rule of
law; an examination of the role of law in women's subordination and
finally a critique of the effect of our understanding of law upon
the wider world. Clearly written and admirably suited to provoking
discussions on the role of law in our contemporary world, this book
is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students reading law,
and will be of interest to those studying legal systems and skills
courses, jurisprudence courses, and law and society.
