Introduction to Civil Law

The often-claimed-modern principles of law, are actually imbedded in human history. They are Mesopotamian in origin, especially of Hammurabi's time. The right to monetary damages, the right to be informed of the law, the right to adversarial procedure, the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, the right not to be subject to abuse of power, the right of dignity, all are small steps for history but "giant leaps for Humanity", indeed.
