The book presents a critical analysis of how legal systems lag behind significant social changes, using historical examples from Roman and English law. Alan Watson illustrates the persistence of outdated and harmful legal rules that serve no beneficial purpose for society, often only benefiting lawyers amid confusion. This comparative legal scholarship highlights the dysfunctionality of law, emphasizing its negative impact on society as a whole, particularly on powerful groups.
