Law and Justice: Thomas Bingham, Nicholas Phillips and Eleanor
Sharpston is the first time a collection of interviews is being
published as a book. These interviews have been conducted by one of
England’s leading social anthropologists and historians, Professor
Alan Macfarlane. Filmed over a period of several years, the three
conversations in this volume are part of the series Creative Lives and
Works. These transcriptions also form part of a larger set of
interviews that cut across various disciplines, from the social
sciences, the sciences and the performing and visual arts. The current
volume is on three of Britain’s foremost lawyers and judges. Law and
justice are an intrinsic part of any civilization, ancient or modern.
English law traces its origins to medieval times, at times drawing on
ancient legal systems prevalent in Roman and Anglo-Saxon laws. This
tradition has had a huge influence across the world through export to
the United States and throughout the nations of the former British
Empire. The three conversations in this volume further reflect how
interconnected the disciplines of history and law are. Thomas Bingham,
Nicholas Phillips and Eleanor Sharpston give a wide sketch of the
legal system through their own experiences and interpretations. They
show how one of the single most important and unique features of
British civilization works. The book will be of enormous value not
just to those interested in the subject of Law and Justice but also
History and Culture Studies as well as those with an interest in Legal
Literature. Please note: This title is co-published with Social
Science Press, New Delhi. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute
the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri
Lanka.
