1984年的Landmarks in the Law by Lord Denning, Alfred Thompson Dennin Denning, Bar
Written in Lord Denning's familiar vivid, staccato style, Landmarks in the Law discusses cases and characters whose names will be known to all readers, grouped together under headings such as High Treason, Freedom of the Press, and Murder.
