500 articles
''The Oxford Companion to American Law'' takes as its starting point the [[insight]] that [[law]] is embedded in [[society]], and that to understand American law one must necessarily ask questions about the relationship between it and the social order, now and in the past. The volume assumes that American law, in all its richness and complexity, cannot be understood in isolation, as simply the business of the Supreme Court, or as a list of common law doctrines. Hence, the volume takes seriously issues involving laws role in structuring decisions about governance, the significance of state and local law and legal institutions, and the place of American law in a comparative international perspective. Nearly 500 entries are included, written by over 300 expert contributors.
Intended for the working lawyer or judge, the high school student working on a term paper, or the general adult [[reader]] interested in the topic, the Companion is the [[authoritative]] reference work on the subject of American law.
