About This Book

Designed for the general reader and students of law, this is a concise history and analysis of the civil law tradition, which is dominant in most of Europe, all of Latin America, and many parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The fourth edition is fully updated to include the latest developments in the field and to correct and update historical details gleaned from newly-published research on Roman and Medieval law. In the past ten years, the legal profession has changed radically, with the growing international ubiquity of large law firms operating across borders (which was previously a uniquely American phenomenon). This new edition updates the book from the post-Soviet era to ongoing current issues, including Brexit and the status of the European Union. It discusses how civil law codes have shifted in some countries to adapt to modern and changing ideologies and also includes brand-new material on legal education, which is of central importance to the legal profession today.

The 
Legal 
Process
87
a 
revaluation 
of 
the 
role 
of 
judge 
in 
society, 
for 
questioning 
many 
of 
the 
assumptions 
of 
the 
civil 
law 
tradition. 
But 
the 
scholars 
who 
promote 
them 
discover 
that 
law 
schools 
are 
difïŹcult 
fortresses, 
and 
traditionally 
minded 
lawyers 
are 
stubborn 
and 
a 
little 
deaf. 
Never-
theless, 
the 
civil 
law 
tradition 
is 
full 
of 
innovative 
people 
and 
no 
deïŹnitive 
battle 
has 
been 
lost. 
We 
will 
revisit 
this 
topic 
in 
the 
ïŹnal 
two 
chapters.
