Summary Analysis Review Of Bill Burnetts Dave Evanss Designing Your Life By Instaread PDF Download

This book about the Configurative, Law, Science and Policy Theories looks at law in a more futuristic manner. It involves examining the idea of law in terms of decision and policy rather than simply as rules and principles. The reader will be introduced to a technique known as "contextual mapping" which helps in understanding legal problems in context and in identifying which problems require authoritative and controlling solutions. The book undertakes a careful analysis of modern theories of justice and their relevance to the practice and operation of the law. Although directly relevant to law, this approach to law has broader implications for management, leadership, and decision making as well. Winston P. Nagan is Sam T.
