Introduction to Law
by Martin Gruberg, Professor of Political Science

This book is an introduction to the study of law, appropriate for the beginning student in Introduction to
Law, Sociology of Law and Criminal Justice. It is interdisciplinary, employing insights from political
science, history, philosophy, sociology, and theology. It begins with an examination of law through the
ages. Next it looks at the place of law in society, focusing on a spectrum of private law arenas and on
the uses and abuses of law-making. There is a survey of the major branches of law. The book concludes
with an examination of philosophies of law and legal reasoning. The relative briefness of the text lends
itself to supplementation by a reader or monograph.
