The Provinces Of The Written And The Unwritten Law

""The Provinces of the Written and the Unwritten Law: An Address"" is a book written by James Coolidge Carter and originally published in 1889. In this book, Carter explores the concept of written and unwritten law and their relationship to each other. He argues that while written law provides a necessary framework for society, unwritten law, which includes customs, traditions, and moral codes, is equally important in determining how individuals and communities behave. Carter also discusses the role of judges and lawyers in interpreting and applying the law, and the need for a balance between the written and unwritten law in order to create a just legal system. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of legal theory and philosophy, and its insights remain relevant to contemporary discussions of law and society.Delivered At The Annual Meeting Of The Virginia State Bar Association, At White Sulphur Springs, July 25, 1889.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
