Form and Function in a Legal System法律体系的形式与作用 mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

This book addresses three major questi*** about law and legal systems: (1) What are the defining and ***anizing forms of legal instituti***, legal rules, interpretive methodologies, and other legal phenomena? (2) How does frontal and systematic focus on these forms advance understanding of such phenomena? (3) What credit should the functi*** of forms have when such phenomena serve policy and related purposes, rule of law values, and fundamental political values such as democracy, liberty, and justice? The answers not only provide articulate conversancy with the subject but also reveal insights into the nature of law itself, as well as allied subjects.

Focusing on legal structures as they developed in Western societies, "Form and Function in a Legal System" looks at four paradigms of the forms of a varied selection of functional legal units: legislatures and courts, statutory rules, contracts and property, legal methodologies for interpreting law, and enforcive devices such as sancti*** and remedies. In contrast to the rules-based ***ysis made prominent by legal thinkers such as H. L. A. Hart and Hans Kelsen, the form-oriented ***ysis provides a new and intellectually stimulating understanding on how law can be conceptually approached.

This book addresses three major questi*** about law and legal systems: (1) What are the defining and ***anizing forms of legal instituti***, legal rules, interpretive methodologies, and other legal phenomena? (2) How does frontal and systematic focus on these forms advance understanding of such phenomena? (3) What credit should the functi*** of forms have when such phenomena serve policy and related purposes, rule of law values, and fundamental political values such as democracy, liberty, and justice? This is the first book that seeks to offer general answers to these questi*** and thus gives form in the law its due. The answers not only provide articulate conversancy with the subject but also reveal insights into the nature of law itself, the oldest and foremost problem in legal theory and allied subjects.
