Law and Society

About this book

Law and Society offers a contemporary yet concise description of the structure and function of legal institutions along with a lively discussion of both criminal and civil law as well as basic legal doctrine. Unlike comparable books on law and society available today Matthew Lippman takes an interdisciplinary approach to integrate distinctive coverage of diversity inequality and globalism through an organized theme in a strong narrative. This practical and invigorating text provides readers with a better understanding of the connection between law and society and the impact recent literature on crime justice international human rights and law has had to promote that connection.
