Law: A Very Short Introduction by Raymond Wacks (Paperback)

Law: A Very Short Introduction by Raymond Wacks demystifies a subject at the heart of every society. Law protects rights, imposes duties and frames almost all social, political and economic activity, yet its jargon, procedures and complex legislation can seem impenetrable. Wacks introduces the major branches of law, describes what lawyers do and how courts operate, and considers the philosophical questions behind it. A clear, compact guide from Oxford's acclaimed series.
