This legal dance to the music of time uses a temporal theme to draw together a variety of legal subjects, from new perspectives on well-worn themes such as commencement, to brilliantly innovative inter-disciplinary studies such as the law of the night. The result is both a fascinatingly diverse read, and a unique contribution to legal literature.
