Description

Product Description This Short Introduction looks at judging and reasoning from three perspectives: what legal reasoning has been; what legal reasoning is from the view of judges and jurists; and what legal reasoning is from the view of a social scientist epistemologist or humanities specialist. Geoffrey Samuel begins by identifying the main institutional focal points of legal reasoning (ius, regulae iuris, Interpretatio, policy, and actiones). While examining legal reasoning from both an internal and external viewpoint, the book simultaneously incorporates theory and scholarship from a range of other disciplines including social science and film studies. The author also includes a discussion of fiction theory, schemes of intelligibility, and other epistemological issues as well as standard reasoning devices such as induction, deduction and analogy.Combining cases and materials with original text, this unique, concise format is designed to be accessible for students who are starting out on their law programmes, as well as providing insights for students and researchers who would like to examine judging and legal reasoning in more depth. Review 'In this useful and timely book Geoffrey Samuel offers to his readers a new understanding of the rich complexity of legal reasoning - an understanding that has sometimes been lacking in accounts of law written from a single perspective. Professor Samuel has made excellent use of his wide and deep knowledge of Roman law, of English legal history, of modern English law, and of mediaeval and modern civil law. The book is well set out, with clear, concise, and apt quotations throughout.' --- Stephen Waddams, University of Toronto, Canada 'A wonderful idea and a stimulating book! Harmonization of Law in Europe will only come to life if students and practitioners begin to understand how judges think about cases. Geoffrey Samuel's unique ability to teach and understand both French law and continental perspectives, as well as English law allows him to give invaluable insight on legal methodology both for English and civil law lawyers. This book is the result of a large historical and methodological knowledge, of a deep understanding of decision-making processes and of a tremendous work with cases. Just remarkable!' --- Pascal Pichonnaz, University of Fribourg, Switzerland About the Author Geoffrey Samuel, Professor Emeritus, Kent Law School, UK
