Abstract
"Begins with an introduction to the formative stages of Royal law, from the Conquest of 1066 to the end of the reign of Edward 1 in 1307. It moves from here to exegeses of the origins of the writs and procedure, the history of statute law, the development of the conscience of equity and the separation of powers." - Voila
