Bøker av Prof Christopher (Durham University Brooks

The essays in this volume reflect the wider concept of legal history - how legal processes fitted into the social and political life of the community, and how courts and other legal processes were used by contemporaries.

In this series of essays, the author approaches the law from two different angles: the uses made of courts and the fluctuations in the fortunes of the legal profession. He also places the law into a wider social and political context.
