Main AuthorHypothesis
Schwartz, Richard D."Elements of legal organization emerge in a sequence such that each constitutes a necessary condition for the next." The Guttman scale shows mediation at the first evolutionary level, police and mediation at the intermediate level, and counsel, police and mediation at the highest level. The simplest societies have none of these traits (160, 161, 163)
Wimberly, HowardA four level Guttman scale of legal evolution from highest to lowest level is posited: counsel, police, courts and mediation. Courts form an intermediate stage after mediation and prior to the appearance of police (79)
