Recenzje

The author offers a new interpretation of Henri Bracton and his fellow judges Martin of Pattishall and William of Raleigh, suggesting that their treatise (known as Bracton) was less an effort to restate or reform the Common Law than an undertaking to reinforce the status and authority of the judge.
