Details

A Short History of European Law brings to life 2,500 years of legal history, tying current norms to the circumstances of their conception. Tamar Herzog describes how successive legal systems built upon one another, from ancient times through the European Union.

Roman law formed the backbone of each configuration, though the way it was used and reshaped varied dramatically from one century and place to the next.

Only by considering Continental civil law and English common law together do we see how they drew from and enriched this shared tradition.
