About the Authors

Legal professions and legal institutions have a profound influence on the direction and form of legal change, but it is often difficult to identify exactly how and why such influence has been exerted. Even those individuals directly involved in bringing about changes may not realise the full impact of professional and institutional factors, since these factors often form part of the participants' own assumed roles. This collection of essays casts light on how one particularly important legal category, fault liability, has been shaped by legal professions and institutions between 1850 and 2000. Its unique comparative approach highlights how different legal systems generate very different pressures for change, and how actors' perceptions of their own roles can have a profound effect on how changes take effect.
- Introductory overview enables reader to understand the basic issues and to decide which chapters are most useful to his or her interest
- Presentation of institutions and professions by country enables reader to have a coherent picture of the interplay of institutions and professions, and also to compare the developments in different countries
- Focus on legislators, law reform agencies, courts and academics allows reader to see the roles of influential individuals playing more than one role within the communities that influence legislation
