Equity Stirring: The Story of Justice Beyond Law

Sir Frederick Pollock Wrote That 'english-speaking Lawyers ...have Specialised The Name Of Equity'. It Is Typical For Legal Textbooks On The Law Of Equity To Acknowledge The Diverse Ways In Which The Word 'equity' Is Used And Then To Focus On The Legal Sense Of The Word To The Exclusion Of All Others. There May Be A Professional Responsibility On Textbook Writers To Do Just That.
