Details

The Malaysian Legal System, Second Edition is a timely publication as there is continuing public interest in the conflicting jurisdictions between the Syariah Court and the Civil Court, cases pertaining to native titles and native rights to land in Sabah and Sarawak and other major legal developments.

In this edition, the historical introduction has been re-written to add more depth into the socio-cultural link between the current institutions of constitutional monarchy and the legacy of the institution of kingship. It includes references to relevant case laws and cross referencing.
