What About Law?: Studying Law at University

Product Information

The enthusiasm of the authors for the academic study of their subject is infectious, and this energetic little book should give those musing about a law degree a better insight into whether to study law at university than any amount of work experience in a lawyer's office, which after all, is not the inevitable outcome of a law degree, any more than it necessitates one. --Cherry James Web Journal of Current Legal Issues Marmor, Andrei (1934).

In these cases sovereignty is eroded, and often warlords acquire excessive powers (Fukuyama, State-Building, 166–167). Legal systems vary between jurisdictions, with their differences analysed in comparative law. In civil law jurisdictions, a legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates the law. In common law systems, judges may make binding case law through precedent, [10] although on occasion this may be overturned by a higher court or the legislature. [11] Historically, religious law has influenced secular matters and is, as of the 21st century, still in use in some religious communities. [12] [13] [14] Sharia law based on Islamic principles is used as the primary legal system in several countries, including Iran and Saudi Arabia. [15] [16]A judiciary is a number of judges mediating disputes to determine outcome. Most countries have systems of appeal courts, with an apex court as the ultimate judicial authority. In the United States, this authority is the Supreme Court; [122] in Australia, the High Court; in India, the Supreme Court of India;in the UK, the Supreme Court; [ citation needed] in Germany, the Bundesverfassungsgericht; and in France, the Cour de Cassation. [123] [124] For most European countries the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg can overrule national law, when EU law is relevant. The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg allows citizens of the Council of Europe member states to bring cases relating to human rights issues before it.
