THE LAW BOOK
From Hammurabi to the International Criminal Court, 250 Milestones in the History of Law
Hardback
Providing authoritative context for ancient documents as well as contemporary hot-button issues, analyses of 250 fundamental and far-reaching cases, statutes, and trials cover such diverse topics as the Ten Commandments, the trial of Socrates, the Bill of Rights, women’s suffrage, the insanity defense, civil rights, censorship, the fight for marriage equality, and more. Organized chronologically, the entries each consist of a short essay and a full-color image. "This book is a worthwhile reference for general college and adult readers with an interest in history or law without the legalese," says Library Journal.
