Publisher's Synopsis
The Roman Creation of Modern Law is a comprehensive book written by John Maxcy Zane that explores the influence of Roman law on modern legal systems. The book traces the evolution of Roman law from its origins in the Republic to its codification under Emperor Justinian, and examines how it has shaped legal thinking and practice in Europe and beyond. Zane argues that Roman law provided the foundation for many of the fundamental principles of modern law, including the concept of individual rights, the importance of precedent, and the idea of a legal system based on reason and justice. The book also delves into the ways in which Roman law has been adapted and modified over time to meet the changing needs of society, and explores the ongoing relevance of Roman legal thought in contemporary legal debates. With its insightful analysis and engaging writing style, The Roman Creation of Modern Law is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and evolution of legal systems.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Story of Law, by John Maxcy Zane.
