Legal History Frederick G. Kempin

Excerpt from Legal History: Law and Social Change

The nonprofessional study of law as a basic element in both liberal and business or technical education is today the subject of keen interest and a focal point of widening intellectual horizons. The fact that our legal institutions open avenues to the deeper understanding of our culture, our history, our polity and our economy is increasingly appreciated, while it remains generally accepted that basic analysis of the methods and substance of the common law is an essential element in technical training for business.

The Foundations of Law in a Business Society Series offers a "one-foot shelf" of short, convenient, inexpensive and authoritative books written by scholars eminent in their respective fields, systematically covering the subjects of primary interest to all nonprofessional students of the law - both in the liberal and in the technical fields. Many of the titles will be useful also to law students, professional administrators, and general readers.

From the teacher"s viewpoint, the essence of the Series is flexibility and freedom of choice. No longer must courses be built around the limited content or restricted approach of a single text. No longer must subjects be presented in fixed order. No longer must the experimentally-minded teacher struggle to develop course materials from scattered sources. Now it is practical and convenient to offer a course specifically designed for given interests and aptitudes without loss of the unity and scope of a conventional textbook.

Various teaching methods and conceptual orientations are provided for. Both text and case materials are included, and the latest doctrinal developments and statutory codifications are fully reflected in the several titles, each of which is complete in itself yet an integral part of a carefully-planned structure.

The Foundations of Law in a Business Society Series covers the legal process, the history and philosophy of law, and the major areas of public and private law, emphasizing always the role of law in contemporary society and mankind"s eternal quest for justice.
