It is crucial for lawyers to be aware of the different ways in which societal problems can be solved and to be able to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different legal solutions. In this respect, being a lawyer involves being able to reason like a lawyer, even more than having detailed knowledge of particular sets of rules. Introduction to Law reflects this view by focusing on the functions of rules and on ways of arguing the relative qualities of alternative legal solutions. Where ‘positive’ law is discussed, the emphasis is on the legal questions that must be addressed by a field of law and on the different solutions which have been adopted by, for instance, the common law and civil law tradition. The law of specific jurisdictions is discussed to illustrate possible answers to questions such as when the existence of a valid contract is assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Sources of Law \u003ci\u003eby Jaap Hage\u003c\/i\u003e.- 2 Legal Reasoning \u003ci\u003eby Jaap Hage\u003c\/i\u003e.-\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e3 Basic Concepts of Law \u003ci\u003eby Jaap Hage\u003c\/i\u003e.- 4 The Law of Contract \u003ci\u003eby Jan Smits\u003c\/i\u003e.- 5 Property Law \u003ci\u003eby Bram Akkermans\u003c\/i\u003e.- 6 Tort Law \u003ci\u003eby Jaap Hage\u003c\/i\u003e.- 7 Criminal Law \u003ci\u003eby Johannes Keiler, Michele Panzavolta, and David Roef\u003c\/i\u003e.- 8 Constitutional Law \u003ci\u003eby Aalt Willem Heringa\u003c\/i\u003e.- 9 Administrative Law \u003ci\u003eby Chris Backes and Mariolina Eliantonio\u003c\/i\u003e.- 10 The Law of Europe \u003ci\u003eby Jaap Hage\u003c\/i\u003e.- 11 Tax Law \u003ci\u003eby Marcel Schaper\u003c\/i\u003e.- 12 International Law \u003ci\u003eby Menno T.
