Beskrivning
This volume contributes to the growing field of comparative Jewish and American law, presenting twenty-six essays characterized by a number of distinct features. The essays will appeal to legal scholars and, at the same time, will be accessible and of interest to a more general audience of intellectually curious readers. These contributions are faithful to Jewish law on its own terms, while applying comparative methods to offer fresh perspectives on complex issues in the Jewish legal system. Through careful comparative analysis, the essays also turn to Jewish law to provide insights into substantive and conceptual areas of the American legal system, particularly areas of American law that are complex, controversial, and unsettled.

A quick perusalof the two volumes serves as a ready reminder of why Levine has long been oneof the academics central to Jewish law’s rise in the American legal academy. Coveringhis wide range of Jewish law writings, the two volumes traverse significantlegal terrain, focusing on the areas of Levine’s primary scholarly emphasis. … Forthose interested in both Jewish law in particular, and religious law in general,[Jewish Law and American Law] serve[s]as [an] extraordinary exploration within the Jewish comparative law project.” —MichaelA.
