Typically, Coulson's, Noel J. popular A History of Islamic Law (Edinburgh: Edimburgh University Press, 1964Google Scholar; reprinted 1994) devotes a single chapter, entitled “Sectarian Legal Systems” to Shi'i dimensions. On a personal note, a course in Islamic jurisprudence that I attended at McGill University allotted less than one half hour of an entire semester to Shi'ism—after the 1979 revolution.
