In contract law, for example, the customs of merchants are used by courts to interpret the provisions of business contracts; in tort law, customs of best practice are used by courts to define professional responsibility. Nowhere are customary rules of law more prominent than in international law. The customs defining the obligations of each State to other States and, to some extent, to its own citizens, are often treated as legally binding. However, unlike natural law and positive law, customary law has received very little scholarly analysis. To remedy this neglect, a distinguished group of philosophers, historians and lawyers has been assembled to assess the nature and significance of customary law. The book offers fresh insights on this neglected and misunderstood form of law. 606 $aCustomary law 606 $aCustomary law$xPhilosophy 606 $aCustomary law$xHistory 606 $aCustomary law, International 615 0$aCustomary law. 615 0$aCustomary law$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCustomary law$xHistory. 615 0$aCustomary law, International. 676 $a340.5 702 $aPerreau-Saussine$b Amanda 702 $aMurphy$b James Bernard$f1958- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784324303321 996 $aNature of customary law$9225782 997 $aUNINA
