In 1958, when the first edition was published, the study of law was a stepchild in the liberal arts curriculum, and it was hoped that this volume would stimulate the introduction of general introductory courses in law. For this edition, basic concepts and methodology of earlier editions have been maintained, while the material has been brought up to date and streamlined, making it feasible for use in one- semester courses. Coverage includes law as a process of resolution of disputes, of maintaining historical continuity and doctrinal consistency, of protecting voluntary arrangements, and of resolving acute social conflicts.
