This book explores the development of law in Europe from its medieval origins to the present day, charting the transformation from law rooted in the Church and local community towards a recognition of the centralised, secular authority of the state.

Demonstrates the diversity of traditions between European states and the possibilities and limitations in the search for common European values and goals
