Fundamental Principles of the Sociology of Law

by Eugen Ehrlich, Klaus A. Ziegert

The innovative and revolutionary scholarship of the eminent Austrian legal theorist and professor of Roman law, Eugen Ehrlich (1862-1922), is of a very high caliber. His work has not only held its place well in view of what legal theory, especially sociological legal theory, has to offer, but is also still a powerful challenge to positions in legal theory that are no longer defensible. The sociology of law has followed in a direct line of succession from Ehrlich's observations and ideas as a new and special discipline linking jurisprudence with sociology.

[Lesley Chen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read Chinese version instead because I was assigned to write a summary about this book. What I can say is Chinese version is really really boring and hard-to-understand! I can't even remember how I finished the book. Maybe the original version will be more friendly to me, I have plan to try original version later.
