Evolution and the Common Law

This book offers a radical challenge to all existing accounts the common law's of development. Contrary to received jurisprudential wisdom, it maintains there is no grand theory which will explain satisfactorily the dynamic interactions of change and stability in the common law's history. Offering fresh and original readings of Charles Darwin's and Hans-Georg Gadamer's works, the book shows that law is a rhetorical activity that can only be properly appreciated in its historical and political context; tradition and transformation are locked in a mutually reinforcing but thoroughly contingent embrace. It reveals that, like life, law is an organic process and that common law is a perpetual work-in-progress. In contrast to the dewy-eyed offerings of much contemporary work, it demonstrates that, like life, law is an organic process (i.e., events are the products of functional and localized causes) rather than a miraculous one (i.e., events are the result of some grand plan or intervention). In short, the common law's is a perpetual work-in-progress - evanescent, dynamic, messy, productive, tantalising, and bottom-up.
