The Law Book

Codes, charters, landmark cases and the arguments behind them are traced from Hammurabi to contemporary human rights law. More than eighty legal milestones are summarised with visual timelines, quotations and short explanations of why each mattered, covering civil and common law traditions alongside international agreements. The volume is a general introduction rather than legal advice, and anyone facing a real dispute should consult a qualified lawyer. Worth noting before buying: • Over eighty legal ideas, events and figures presented in sequence • Explanations of how different legal systems developed • Landmark cases summarised with their wider consequences • Visual timelines linking ancient codes to modern legislation Law students, civics teachers and readers interested in how justice evolved will find this DK Publishing volume at Boipoka.
