Books in the Cambridge Studies in Law and Judaism series

The Jewish Family: Between Family Law and Contract Law examines Jewish family law in the light of new attitudes concerning the role of women, assisted reproduction technologies, and prenuptial agreements. It will appeal to practitioners, activists, academic researchers and laymen readers interested in the fields of law, theology and social science.

The book presents, for the first time, Maimonides' complete tort theory, and how it compares with other tort theories both in the Jewish world and beyond. Drawing on sources old and new, this book offers fresh interdisciplinary perspectives on important moral, consequentialist, economic, and religious issues.
