A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO THE COMMON LAW
Book ID/图书代码： 04289514B70157
English Summary/英文概要： This book provides a short, accessible introduction to the English common law tradition, in particular to the civil process. It adopts an approach which explains the historical development of the common law institutions and procedures whilst also setting them in perspective through a comparative outlook. Aspects of the common law are contrasted on occasions with structural or functional equivalents (or near equivalents) in the civil law. The key topics covered include: the English civil courts (and other dispute resolution institutions and alternatives), civil procedure, remedies, sources of law, legal reasoning, legal education, legal theories, legal institutions and concepts and legal categories. In addition to textual description and analysis, the book makes frequent use of visual diagrams to explain and to illustrate aspects of the common law. Providing both an overview of the English common law and an insight into the legal mentality of common lawyers, the book will appeal both to first year law students as well as to continental jurists who are investigating the common law for the first time.

要针对民事律师写出一个很好的普通法介绍真的是一个挑战。其中不仅需要掌握普通法，它的历史和社会学背景，还要了解潜在的读者是如何思考自己的民事法律制度。根据他长期在民法国家的教学活动以及对民法和普通法历史根源的深厚学识，杰弗里•塞缪尔提供了一本书，民法世界的每一个人应该人手一本。在这里，我们真正针对平民律师和学生写了很容易理解的普通法的介绍。非常辉煌的一块，笔者应该受到赞扬。——帕斯卡尔，瑞士弗里堡大学
Geoffrey Samuel s distinctive approach is to present the English common law in the light of its history and its dominant ideas. A student will learn not only what are the major rules of private law and civil law procedure, but will grasp the spirit of the common law. He will thus learn why they exist in a particular form and how common lawyers make them work. Civilian terms are used to provide a guide for the student from a civil law system to understand the initially strange terms and approaches of the common lawyer. This book is clear and insightful. It should be read particularly by Masters students and those embarking on a doctorate involving study of the common law. --John Bell, Pembroke College, UK
To write a good introduction to the common law aimed mainly at civil lawyers is a real challenge. One needs not only to master the common law, its history and its sociological backgrounds, but also to understand how the prospective readers think in their own civilian legal systems. With his longstanding teaching activities in civil law countries, his obvious deep knowledge of the historical roots of civil and common law, Geoffrey Samuel offers here a book which should be pressed into every hands across the civil law world. Finally, we get here an introduction to the common law truly written for civilian lawyers and students, which is easy to understand and thoughtful. A brilliant piece for which the author should be praised. --Pascal Pichonnaz, University of Fribourg, Switzerland
