| Publisher Description: A funny, memorable, sometimes tragic investigation of the nature and every-day significance of law! Great cases are those judicial decisions around which the common law develops. This book explores the consequences and fallouts of eight exemplary cases from the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia that depict the common law as a dynamic process, thereby revealing the diverse and uncoordinated attempts by the courts to adapt the law to changing conditions and shifting demands. |
