This book contains a series of essays discussing the uses of precedent as a source of law and a basis for legal arguments in nine different legal systems, representing a variety of legal traditions. Precedent is fundamental to law, yet theoretical and ideological as well as legal considerations lead to its being differently handled and rationalised in different places. Out of the comparative study come the six theoretical and synoptic essays that conclude the volume.
Industry Reviews
'...provides concise and accessible introductions...for anyone interested in exploring and stimulating any aspect of the reasoning with legal precedents that occur in law, Interpreting Precedents would be a valuable reference.' Artificial Intelligence and Law '...a highly important contribution to the theory of the sources of law. It is impossible to sum up in just a few lines the exceptional richness of this volume.' International Journal of Comparative Law
