Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- A time for every purpose -- 1 The law of the time -- 2 Telling time -- 3 Community and family time -- 4 Work time -- 5 School time -- 6 Disputes at the boundaries of time -- 7 The general case -- Notes -- Index
Summary: Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. The Fourth of July is more like the third. Although time is a feature of the natural world, it is at the same time not natural, but given its meaning by human action and, in our contemporary world, primarily through the law. Rakoff argues that legal regulation of the law has become weaker, with unfortunate results for both individuals and families.
