The Fourth of July is more like the third. Although time is a feature of the natural world, it is at the same time not natural, but given its meaning by human action and, in our contemporary world, primarily through the law. Rakoff argues that legal regulation of the law has become weaker, with unfortunate results for both individuals and families.Time (Law)United StatesCivil procedureUnited StatesElectronic books.Time (Law)Civil procedure304.2/3Rakoff Todd D1056261MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454583303321A time for every purpose2490495UNINA
