Languages of Law is an original and comprehensive study of the history, symbols and languages of the common law tradition. While the first part of this stimulating contribution to modern legal theory, 'Memory, Precedent and the Writing Systems of Law,' examines the technological, professional and polemical contexts of legal writing as a distinctive system of inscription and documentation, the second part of the text, 'Language, Image, Sign and Common Law' moves from historical to substantive analysis. The final chapters concentrate on the visual legitimacy and symbols of law, and advance an original theory of the acceptance of law as a question of the imagery and aesthetics of legal representation. This is a book for students of legal history, legal system and legal method, jurisprudence and sociology of law, and for students of the history of language.

This student text was previously published by Weidenfeld and Nicolson. Using a number of critical approaches, including a feminist perspective, the authors analyze central aspects of criminal law in the context of the assumptions surrounding it. After developing a theoretical framework in the first chapter, the following chapters examine public order, intoxication, violence, the construction of bodily autonomy, and property.

Criminal Law

Reconstructing Criminal Law provides a radical and stimulating alternative to the standard black letter criminal law text. The authors analyse central aspects of criminal law in the context of the assumptions surrounding it, and employ a number of critical approaches, including a feminist perspective to give insights into the current state of the law. A comprehensive resource - it contains extracts that cover a wide range of materials from historical, political, sociological and philosophical sources and discusses offences considered to be at the margins of criminal law. It also offers an important practical element whereby students and teachers can attempt to answer the questions that the criminal justice system confronts on a daily basis.

European Community law is firmly&nbsp;established&nbsp;as part of the law syllabus, yet as a subject of teaching and research in Britain it is barely fifteen years old. This unusual conjunction of accepted status and relative youth offers teachers and students of European Community law&nbsp;a great opportunity. Such is the possibility of exercising a potentially decisive influence on the development of European Community law, not only as an intellectually fascinating subject of study, but also as a significant element in the dominant ideologies and practices of the contemporary world. But how and where can we best devote our attention? In answering this question, we may choose to build or not on certain basic foundations. Two points are crucial, however, to the continued vitality of our common project: first, that we develop a more critical understanding of European Community law, and second, that we move in new directions.&nbsp;
