John V. Orth

Reappraisals in the Law of Property (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a broad examination of the forces that have made and continue to remake the law of property. Three themes in particular - the inertial force of tradition, the reforming power of judicial and legislative activism, and the challenge of academic criticism - form the foundation of this challenging work, which demonstrates both property law's enduring consistency and the unique and often drastic ways in which it has evolved in the modern era.
