商品簡介
This is the last of three volumes on the comparative sociology of legal professions. Unlike the first two, which offered reports on individual country systems, this text uses national reports and other data sources to explore a variety of theoretical and methodological issues. Editors Abel (law, U. of California at Los Angeles, US) and Lewis (Centre for Legal Studies, Oxford, UK) present 11 papers that provide an overview of the field and discuss such topics as women's participation in the legal profession; deprofessionalization; the class position of lawyers; the influence of revolution on the French, American, and English legal professions; state-centered comparison of legal professions. This is a paperbound edition of a work first published in 1989. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
