The Barrister's World--and the Nature of LawA novel look at the role of the advocate in (UK) law. The authors suggest that, contrary to the orthodox view that law is about close analysis of text, law is more to do with persuasion, rhetoric, and negotiation. They conclude with an extended restatement of the neglected Realist views of Jerome Frank. Distributed by Taylor and Francis. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
