Beginning with a history of the Mosaic code and an overview of the prescriptions of the Talmud, this study goes on to examine the constitution of the courts, procedure, rules of evidence, perjury, methods of punishment and execution, the treatment of murder, adultery and idolatry and cities of refuge.
