    GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE MALAYSIAN LEGAL SYSTEM

    GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE MALAYSIAN LEGAL SYSTEM

    General Principles of the Malaysian Legal System basically traces the history of the ancient laws of this country, way back to the year 1500, very much earlier than the first foreign administration in Malacca by the Portuguese. It elaborates how the customs and traditions practised by the locals those days, were eventually converted to customary laws. The customary laws influenced by the common laws of England and Equity, introduced by the English, led to the formation of the Laws of Malaysia and Islamic Law in Malaysia. An indepth analysis of this development of laws runs to more than three Chapters in this book.

     

    This book, in adition, describes the Parliamentary process of law making, the functions of the Executive, Judiciary and the Legal Profession, as provided for by the Federal Constitution. This historical development of the legal system in Malaysia was gathered from numerous reliable sources by the combined efforts of Mr. Padmanabha Rau (Rau),a Senior Advocate, and Dr.T. Johnson Sampathkumar (Kumar), who holds a Ph.D. in Public Administration.

    Legal Method

    Quote from Foreword
    “This book would be of great interest not only to undergraduate law students but also to the general public to deepen their knowledge, understanding, and application of the essentials of legal methods in the Malaysian legal environment.”
    From the Foreword by Former Chief Justice of Malaysia Tun Abdul Hamid Mohamad
    About the Book
    A very much needed text that has been long missing from the market, this book covers the foundational subject of Legal Method through 19 well executed and informative chapters. Authored by a mix of writers from diverse backgrounds and experience, this title covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of legal method where the core of this subject is related to judicial interpretation of statutes , the appreciation of case law, and the application of the doctrine of stare decisis. As Malaysia adopts the Common Law and Shariah legal systems, the contents of this book discuss both these systems. Among the important topics covered are statutory interpretation, the drafting and making of legislation, and the workings of binding precedents.
    This is a comprehensive student text which provides essential guidance for a compulsory paper in the Malaysian LLB program and the chapters follow the course outline/syllabus of most Malaysian universities. The chapters have been carefully constructed to cover as much details as possible and the wealth of knowledge shared by the contributors ensures that this book will definitely be the main go-to text for all students.
