(The purpose of the text is to teach about law by focusing...)
The purpose of the text is to teach about law by focusing on contemporary legal systems within the framework of each culture. The text emphasizes the legal process in each of the four traditions by concentrating on the specific problems of inheritance, as an example of the definition of and response to crime; contracts as an example of economic decision making; and population planning as an example of personal rights and the allocation of power between judicial, bureaucratic, and religious institutions. For use in undergraduate anthropology courses as well as in advanced anthropology or comparative law courses.

The Civil Law Tradition: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia, Cases and Materials (Contemporary Legal Education Series)
(This book, intended for use in introductory courses in co...)
This book, intended for use in introductory courses in comparative law or civil law systems, is the successor edition to John Henry Merryman and David S. Clark, Comparative Law: Western European and Latin American Legal Systems (1978). It is a successor edition rather than a second edition because it reflects the truly fundamental changes that have occurred in the relationships among the world's major legal systems. The aim of this book is to introduce the student to the family of legal systems common to Europe, Latin America, and East Asia. The materials include readings that explain what binds together countries that participate in the world's oldest, most widely distributed, and most influential legal tradition. At the same time, the authors use materials from or about specific countries to illustrate the many fascinating variations that exist within the civil law tradition. The principal countries utilized for this purpose are France, Germany, Italy, and Spain within Europe; Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, and Mexico within Latin America; and Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand in East Asia. A distinguishing feature of this book is its relative deemphasis of rules and related doctrine and greater attention to the intellectual history, structure, professional actors, and processes that are characteristic of civil law systems.

Comparative Law is intended for use in law schools and history and political science departments with introductory courses in comparative law or civil law systems, as well as in European or world legal history. The historical perspective of Comparative Law introduces students to the family of legal systems common to Europe, Latin America, and East Asia. The book also introduces the discipline of comparative law, its scope, origins, objectives, and methods, while discussing the contemporary example of nation building (or law and development) and its limitations. Comparative Law is distinguishable from other comparative law books by its relative de-emphasis of rules and related doctrine. It also has greater attention to the intellectual history, structure, professional actors, and processes that are characteristic of civil law systems. The companion volume, The Contemporary Civil Law Tradition: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia, will present current trends in civil law countries and representative variations within national legal systems.

The book also incorporates the findings of recent important literature on the legal cultures of civil law countries.

Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts
(Since its first edition in 1979, Law, Ethics and the Visu...)
Since its first edition in 1979, Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts established itself as the leading art law text among law professors, students, and practitioners. This new and newly illustrated, fifth edition, revised in collaboration with Stephen K. Urice, incorporates recent changes in treaty, statutory, and case law. It includes discussion of recent developments from the resurgence of iconoclasm to military conflicts' depredations on cultural property. As in earlier editions, the authors present legal issues in their historical contexts. The broad range of topics addressed in the 5th edition, makes the text especially adaptable for use in multiple classroom settings. These topics include: • U.S. museums' return of works of art and antiquities to claimants such as Holocaust survivors and foreign nations • Artist's rights such as copyright and moral rights • International movement of art and antiquities • Fakes and forgeries in the art market • The inner workings of art auctions • Plundering and destruction of works of art in times of war and military conflict • Censorship of obscene or politically challenging works of art • And many more In this edition, documents previously presented in a separate documentary appendix have been integrated into the text to provide immediate access to important treaties and other materials. Whether you need to understand something as provocative as who owns the past, or something as mundane as whether a museum can sell a work of art to fix the roof, Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts provides the information you need. It combines unassailable scholarship with a deeply humanistic approach, recognizing that law and art each "impose a measure of order on the disorder of experience without stifling the underlying diversity, spontaneity, and disarray" (Paul Freund).
