Islamic Law and Civil Code
Author: Richard A. Debs
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231520999
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Richard A. Debs analyzes the classical Islamic law of property based on the Shari'ah, traces its historic development in Egypt, and describes its integration as a source of law within the modern format of a civil code. He focuses specifically on Egypt, a country in the Islamic world that drew upon its society's own vigorous legal system as it formed its modern laws. He also touches on issues that are common to all such societies that have adopted, either by choice or by necessity, Western legal systems. Egypt's unique synthesis of Western and traditional elements is the outcome of an effort to respond to national goals and requirements. Its traditional law, the Shari'ah, is the fundamental law of all Islamic societies, and Debs's analysis of Egypt's experience demonstrates how Islamic jurisprudence can be sophisticated, coherent, rational, and effective, developed over centuries to serve the needs of societies that flourished under the rule of law.

The Making of Law
Author: William Suarez-Potts
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804783489
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Despite Porfirio Díaz's authoritarian rule (1877-1911) and the fifteen years of violent conflict typifying much of Mexican politics after 1917, law and judicial decision-making were important for the country's political and economic organization. Influenced by French theories of jurisprudence in addition to domestic events, progressive Mexican legal thinkers concluded that the liberal view of law—as existing primarily to guarantee the rights of individuals and of private property—was inadequate for solving the "social question"; the aim of the legal regime should instead be one of harmoniously regulating relations between interdependent groups of social actors. This book argues that the federal judiciary's adjudication of labor disputes and its elaboration of new legal principles played a significant part in the evolution of Mexican labor law and the nation's political and social compact. Indeed, this conclusion might seem paradoxical in a country with a civil law tradition, weak judiciary, authoritarian government, and endemic corruption. Suarez-Potts shows how and why judge-made law mattered, and why contemporaries paid close attention to the rulings of Supreme Court justices in labor cases as the nation's system of industrial relations was established.

Introduction to the Mexican Real Estate System
Author: William D. Signet
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
This title is currently out of print. Introduction to the Mexican Real Estate System was written to fill a knowledge gap between foreign professionals, lenders, and investors, on the one hand, and the fascinating Latin country whose emerging economy, population, and opportunities will set the tone for North America development in the years to come. As the author says in his Introduction, "One may well debate whether the Americanization of Mexico is better or worse than the Mexicanization of the United States, but there is no longer any question of the direction in which history is moving." Neither an arid legal treatise, nor a compendium of experiential anecdotes, the book attempts to strike the right balance between the general and the specific, between the deep background and the nitty-gritty of daily practice, to deliver to its readers a functional knowledge of the subject.
