Summary note
"This book presents eight new great cases from the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. Written in a highly accessible yet rigorous style, it explores the social circumstances, institutions (lawyers, judges and courts) and ordinary people whose stories shaped the law. Including seminal cases in end of life, abortion and equal rights, this is an ideal introduction for students to legal history and jurisprudence."--Back cover.
