Product Description
Product Description
Lloyd s Introduction to Jurisprudence is the leading textbook on jurisprudence in the English-speaking world. It enables students to develop a good understanding of the theories of the different schools of jurisprudence, and to appreciate the contributions made to legal theory by leading jurists and others, from the Ancient Greeks to the postmodernists. Lloyd combines a substantial text with extracts from a wide range of authoritative sources. The works of more than 100 jurists are extracted, from Aristotle to Dworkin, and beyond. These are supported by detailed and well documented introductory sections a textbook in themselves which offer critical insight into the texts. The eighth edition has been updated throughout and contains substantial new writing including a new chapter on Dworkin s Interpretivism, as well as new sections on the theory of human rights, on Bourdieu s legal thought, on Nussbaum s frontiers of justice , on global justice, on Murphy s natural law. Amongst jurists extracted for the first time in this edition are Mark Murphy, Gustav Radbruch, William Edmundson, Kent Greenwalt, Scott Hershovitz, Gerald Postema and Jeremy Waldron.

Format:Paperback
This book is a must have for any law student. This book provides you with everything that you need to successfully pass a course on Jurisprudence. However it also helps you to understand other aspects of the law. It is easy to follow and has a vast amount of information in it. Unbelievably good.

Format:Paperback
This is a massive introductory book with 1587 pages. Lloyd on Jurisprudence was first published more than 50 years ago and quickly became a standard textbook for students of jurisprudence. This eighth edition, by Michael Freeman, is a very up-to-date book which takes into account the views of modern jurists such as MC Murphy, Ronald Dworkin, and Richard Posner. This book covers the fundamental ideas about law, such as "The Meaning of Law" as well as jurisprudence from outside the traditional Angl-Saxon countries. The chapter on "Scandinavian Realists" is illuminating and provides a different perspective for the student who is pondering over the idea of law as a "fact". This edition was written with much deeper analysis than Raymond Wacks' book, "Understanding Jurisprudence" (also recently published in its second edition, with 383 pages of text), but that is probably because the latter was intended more for students who have not read jurisprudence at all, and for them, Wacks is an excellent book. Lloyd's is for the advanced student. It is also priced at $60 whereas Wacks is priced at $63 (both Amazon prices). The two books would be more appropriately titled if the authors had swopped titles - Freeman's book should be entitled "Understanding Jurisprudence" and Wacks' should be "Introduction to Jurisprudence".
