Overview
Even in our most casual encounters with strangers legal systems play a role, explains the author of this fascinating book. Michael Reisman shows how "microlegal" systems function and how their elaborate codes, exceptions, and procedures sanction deviance and govern acceptable behavior in all our social interactions. He also demonstrates that, paradoxically, efforts to improve microlaw may threaten individual autonomy and privacy.Book Details
