Blackstone's Tower by William Twining

Based on the forty-sixth series of Hamlyn Lectures, Blackstone's Tower deals with the study of law from a broad perspective, dealing with immediate issues, but also asking fundamental questions about what law schools are for, and what is the nature of legal scholarship and whether it makes sense to talk of a core of the discipline. Adopting the standpoint of a not entirely respectful localguide, the author conducts the reader on a tour of the small world of the modern English law school - its history, ambiguous role, peculiar culture and uncertain future.
