Hey /lit/, I've been interested in the development of common law and its effect on historic literature. Can anyone recc me some good books that deal with law? Preferable complex cases, and fiction or nonfiction is good either way. It has to be realistic though if it is fiction. I'm enthralled by the idea of due process and what is and general on-goings of the court. Nothing like a mystery thriller. I want court battle. In and out.
Any ideas?

Hey thanks for the bump man.
Anyone have any good law fiction/nonficiton? I already know all the historic cases, and I believe the law scene now is very much different with many different iterations of precedence. I'm just looking for a book to expand on that.

Well there's not a whole lot of law nonfiction that you probably haven't already heard of if you're interested in the topic.
Fiction, if you aren't interested in it, is pretty much what law as a genre has to offer. Otherwise you're just reading the proceedings of a case that actually happened.

Didn't Ariel like sign away her voice for legs or some shit like that? What does that have to do with law? Is this some parallel?
Contract law. That's gotta be it. Is that what you're referring to? Well that's about as boring as it gets. Bound by contract doesn't get much simpler.

I accidentally posted in a wrong thread but you may be interested in Coggs v Bernard.
>Under the ruling in Coggs v Bernard, a general bailee was only liable if he had been negligent. Despite his reappraisal of the standard of liability for general bailees, Holt CJ refused to reconsider the long-standing common law rule that held common carriers strictly liable for any loss or damage to bailed property in their possession. Although admitting that the rule was "hard," Holt CJ justified it by stating:
>This [rule] is a politic establishment, contrived by the policy of the law, for the safety of all persons, the necessity of whose affairs oblige them to trust these sorts of persons [i.e. carriers], that they may be safe in their ways of dealing: for else these carriers might have an opportunity of undoing all persons that had any dealings with them, by combining with thieves etc; and yet doing it in such a clandestine manner, as would not be possible to be discovered. And this is the reason the law is founded upon that point.
