Overview

For this assignment, we analyze the Islamic legal tradition. This tradition has many different interpretations in our world, but like most legal traditions it is unique in its history and traditions. This tradition, referred to by our textbook author as the law of later revelation, has connections to the other legal traditions you have already studied.
