Features: This book is currently the most mainstream and best-selling textbook for the course of Foreign Legal History in domestic law schools. Published for many years, it has been reprinted multiple times and revised several times, becoming increasingly perfect. The Foreign Legal History course, edited by Professor He Qinhua, has been recognized as a top-quality course by the Ministry of Education in the field of law, and this book is its premium textbook. It is deeply favored by readers for its solid and innovative style. Building on the strengths of previous domestic and international textbooks that emphasized unified compilation, this book aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing textbooks, which are often fragmented and overly complex. With over a decade of teaching experience among the contributing authors, a new format has been designed—ancient and medieval law are organized by legal systems, while modern law is organized by countries, covering from the Code of Hammurabi to the European Union law. The system is clear and well-structured. The new edition presented to readers incorporates recent research findings in this field, making the content richer. In terms of presentation, it boldly breaks new ground by adding illustrations based on the characteristics of legal history studies. These illustrations not only broaden students' horizons but also enhance teaching effectiveness, making the book more visual and engaging to read.
