Opis

Volume 14 of The Jewish Law Annual adds to the growing list of articles on Jewish law that have been published in volumes 1-13 of this series, providing English-speaking readers with previously unavailable scholarly material meeting the highest academic standards. The volume contains ten articles, including an analysis of the application of Jewish price fraud law to the workings of the present-day marketplace. Diverse in their scope and focus, the articles address legal, historical, textual, comparative and conceptual questions. The volume concludes with a survey of recent literature on biblical and Jewish law, and a chronicle section, which discusses recent Israeli and American court cases involving issues where Jewish law is of particular relevance, thereby making the Annual a journal of record.
