内容説明
This is the third edition of this text, focusing on the tensions in the field, challenging students to think beyond the concrete facts to the ethical, moral, legal and psychological grey areas of law. The text is organized around four dilemmas that face the legal system: the rights of individuals versus the common good; equality versus discretion; to discover the truth or to resolve conflicts; science versus the law as a source of decisions. Examples from actua1 cases illustrate concepts.
