Summary
The table of contents and three hitherto unpublished extracts from the Manuscript of Law in Our Society are reproduced here. The object is to give an indication of the nature and state of this document and to make available some of the more important passages which supplement Llewellyn's published writings. As much of it is in note-form it is neither elegant nor easy to understand; allowance must be made for the fact that Llewellyn did not consider the work to be complete or in publishable form. Permission to print these extracts has been given by his literary executrix, Professor Soia Mentschikoff Llewellyn. Except in a few places, which are indicated by square brackets, the original text is presented without emendation or comment.
