Although legal history is important to our understanding of legal doctrine and rules, it is often neglected. A legal system cannot live without its past. This book was written with the aim of further deepening interest in Singapore?s legal history. Co-published with Marshall Cavendish Academic.Author(s)/Editor(s)/Contributor(s): Kevin Y. L.
