Full Description
This innovative volume in the prestigious series of "Oxford Handbooks" provides a comprehensive overview of law and legal scholarship at the dawn of the 21st century. Through 43 essays by leading legal scholars based in USA, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Germany, it will provide a varied and stimulating set of road maps to guide readers through the increasingly large and conceptually sophisticated body of legal scholarship. Focussing mainly, though not exclusively, on scholarship in the English language and taking an international and comparative approach, the contributors to this Handbook offer original and interpretative accounts of the nature, themes and preoccupations of research and writing about law. They then go on to consider likely trends and developments in scholarship in the next decade or so. The Handbook is arranged in seven Parts entitled "Property and Obligations", "Citizens and Government", "Wealth Distribution and Welfare", "Business and Commerce", "Technology", "Processes", and "Research and Researchers".
It will provide everyone interested in scholarship about law with a widely accessible overview of the state and future direction of legal scholarship.
