The Confines of the Law Publication date : October 1, 1991

How did law come about? How do different societies answer to the same need for justice? Norbert Rouland invites us to explore the many aspects of law. Through various societies, a constant question emerges: can Africans, Asians and Westerners all adhere to the same norms?

Norbert Rouland is a professor at the University of Aix-Marseille-III, where he teaches judicial anthropology and the history of law.
