Legal Ethics

The concept of law lies at the heart of our social and political life. Legal philosophy, or jurisprudence, explores the notion of law and its role in society, illuminating its meaning and its relation to the universal questions of justice, rights, and morality. In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Raymond Wacks analyzes the nature and purpose of the legal system and the practice by courts, lawyers, and judges.

In this comprehensive and interdisciplinary work, the importance and application of the principle of adversarial process in multicultural and transnational contexts will be explored. The historical origins and theoretical foundations of this principle will be analyzed, along with the challenges and opportunities faced in diverse societies. The book presents emblematic case studies and relevant experiences that highlight how the adversarial process can be ensured in complex litigation and disputes of collective interest.
