Frederick Pollock, F. w. Maitland

Lawbook Exchange Ltd, 2007

Groundbreaking and fascinating historical scholarship
The law of England underwent major changes under the energetic leadership of the Plantagenet kings. This scholarly work traces and outlines this most fascinating and actually entertaining period in legal history. Before the acts chronicled here, the business of law enforcement in all its various forms, both civil and criminal, was a rather haphazard and local affair. Magical ordeals, often ...

The Art of Questioning: Thirty Maxims of Cross Examination

3 reviews
Peter Megargee Brown

The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd., 2008

One of those little books worth reading again.
Quite a short book, but with lots of thumbnail sketches of little maneuvers in law cases. It's not as good as one might wish for ascertaining useful techniques of cross-examination, but it is a subtle book, pointing out things that might not be naturally noted when dealing with a hostile (or defensive) person. My interest in this book originated with my criminal-defense lawyer brother, but since ...

A Concise History of the Common Law

2 reviews
Theodore Frank Thomas Plucknett

Lawbook Exchange Ltd, 2001

Excellent overview of an often complex history
I recently ordered this book from Amazon. I had been looking for a more concise rather than lengthy explanation for many of the legal mechanisms and principles we enjoy (endure?) today. Without question, the "History of the Common Law" goes far to do just that. It is well organized and deftly written. I am reluctant to admit this about a history of law, but I confess that I found it hard ...
