Taylor & Francis Inc Wye Island: Insiders, Outsiders, and Change in a
Book SynopsisToday, most of the 2,800 tranquil acres that make up Wye Island are managed by the Maryland Park Service. However, from 1973 to 1974, the island was the site of a raging controversy. A major developer, James Rouse, wanted to build a compact waterfront village that would be surrounded by large estates, protected farms, and wetlands. A boyhood resident of nearby Easton, Maryland, Rouse hoped that the island could avoid the sprawl of unplanned subdivisions that were marring so many other places along the Eastern Shore. Combining history, journalism, character sketches, and sharp sociological insight, Boyd Gibbons presents the conflict over Wye Island in its multiple dimensions - as an example of the emerging community-based activism of the 1960s and 70s, and of a community that, while exercising its right to preserve its identity, denies opportunities for its members to improve their lives through change. In fact, Wye Island proves not to be the environmental David-Goliath struggle that might be expected. For one thing, residents opposed a development plan that can be regarded as an early model for 'smart growth.' And many were no more favorably disposed to a park or preserve than to a planned village. Their interest was in protecting the community from an invasion of immigrants from ethnically diverse Baltimore and Washington, and, where the wealthy were concerned, protecting some very private views of the water. In the end, rich landowners, poor 'natives,' and many recent newcomers opposed the Rouse project - distrusting change, and, above all, fearing 'outsiders.' The special reprint of Wye Island includes a new foreword by distinguished environmental historian Adam Rome, who explores the enduring themes of Wye Island in context of the current debates about land use, development, and sprawl.Trade Review'Gibbons‘s book moves with the grace of a novel.' Business Week 'Should be read by those who care about the future of our communities.' Library Journal 'Wye Island is primarily about people: clammers, crabbers, business executives, storekeepers, land speculators . . . .Gibbons succeeds in portraying the fear shared by the local citizens - and by implication, most Americans - of change.'

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Law, Religion and Tradition
Book SynopsisThis book explores different theories of law, religion, and tradition, from both a secular and a religious perspective. It reflects on how tradition and change can affect religious and secular legal reasoning, identifying the patterns of legal evolution within religious and secular traditions.It is often taken for granted that, even in law, change corresponds and correlates to progress – that things ought to be changed and they will necessarily get better. There is no doubt that legal changes over the centuries have made it possible to enhance the protection of individual rights and to somewhat contain the possibility of tyranny and despotism. But progress is not everything in law: stability and certainty lie at the core of the rule of law. Similarly, religions and religious laws could not survive without traditions; and yet, they still evolve, and their evolution is often intermingled with secular law.The book asks (and in some ways answers) the questions: What is the role of tradition within religions and religious laws? What is the impact of religious traditions on secular laws, and vice-versa? How are the elements of tradition to be identified? Are they the same within the secular and the religious realm? Do secular law and religious law follow comparable patterns of change? Do their levels of resilience differ significantly? How does the history of religion and law affect changes within religious traditions and legal systems?The overall focus of the book addresses the extent to which tradition plays a role in shaping and re-shaping secular and religious laws, as well as their mutual boundaries.Table of ContentsFrom the Secularisation Theory to the Pluralistic Approach: Reconciling Religious Traditions and Modernity in Italian Case-law.- The Blasphemy Laws of Pakistan: Experimenting with History and Tradition.- An Analysis of the Possibility of Fulfilling Gender Equality Within the Legal System of The Islamic Republic Of Iran (Iri).- Tradition's Edge: Interactions between Religious Tradition and Sexual Freedom.- The Inverted Relationship: Constitutive Theory of Law and the Enforcement of Orthodoxy in the book XVI of The Theodosian Code.- The Recent, and Sometimes Invented, Origins of Some “Longstanding” Traditions.- Law, Religion, and the Detraditionalization Of Europe.- Tradition as a Peacebuilding Tool.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Langzeitverträge
Book SynopsisDeutschsprachige Juristen denken bei Langzeitverträgen meist an das Dauerschuldverhältnis, für dessen Definition die Literatur allerdings auch nach gut 100 Jahren keinen Konsens hervorgebracht hat. Während meist die Systematisierung im Vordergrund stand, wurde nur selten untersucht, welche Probleme einer gemeinsamen Systematisierung überhaupt bedürfen. Dazu soll dieses Buch einen Beitrag leisten. Auf den reichhaltigen Erkenntnissen der ökonomischen Literatur aufbauend werden fünf Problemfelder des geltenden Rechts vertieft untersucht. Diese haben für Langzeitverträge exemplarische Bedeutung: Treuepflichten, Zulässigkeit und Grenzen ewiger Vertragsverhältnisse, Geschäftsgrundlage (Vertragsgestaltung, Risikoverteilung, Nachverhandlung), Kündigung aus wichtigem Grund und Vertragsstrafen. Rechtsvergleichende Ausblicke zum neuen französischen Schuldrecht und zum englischen Recht ergänzen die Untersuchung.

Springer International Publishing AG Environmental Law and Economics
Book SynopsisThis anthology discusses important issues surrounding environmental law and economics and provides an in-depth analysis of its use in legislation, regulation and legal adjudication from a neoclassical and behavioural law and economics perspective.Environmental issues raise a vast range of legal questions: to what extent is it justifiable to rely on markets and continued technological innovation, especially as it relates to present exploitation of scarce resources? Or is it necessary for the state to intervene? Regulatory instruments are available to create and maintain a more sustainable society: command and control regulations, restraints, Pigovian taxes, emission certificates, nudging policies, etc. If regulation in a certain legal field is necessary, which policies and methods will most effectively spur sustainable consumption and production in order to protect the environment while mitigating any potential negative impact on economic development? Since the related problems are often caused by scarcity of resources, economic analysis of law can offer remarkable insights for their resolution. Part I underlines the foundations of environmental law and economics. Part II analyses the effectiveness of economic instruments and regulations in environmental law. Part III is dedicated to the problems of climate change. Finally, Part IV focuses on tort and criminal law. The twenty-one chapters in this volume deliver insights into the multifaceted debate surrounding the use of economic instruments in environmental regulation in Europe.Table of ContentsPart I: Foundations.- 1.

The primary focus, however, is on the ‘logic’ of judicial decision making. How do judges justify their decisions? What sort of arguments do they use? In what ways do they rely on legal precedent?

Harvard University Press Law and Revolution I The Formation of the
Book SynopsisThe roots of modern Western legal institutions and concepts go back nine centuries to the papal revolution, when the Western church established its political and legal unity and its independence from emperors, kings, and feudal lords. Out of this upheaval came the Western idea of integrated legal systems developed over generations and centuries.Trade ReviewA magnificent volume, broad in scope and rich in detail; this may be the most important book on law in our generation. * American Political Science Review *Superb… A tour de force of insight and erudition. The principal text divides into two parts, the first dealing with the papal revolution and its distinctive legal system of canon law and the second describing the emergence of secular legalism through its roots in feudal, manorial, mercantile, urban, and royal systems… A magnificent topping-off to the conventional [law school] curriculum. * The Benchmark *This is a book of the first importance. Every lawyer should read it… Clearly written and well-organized, it is a work of immense scholarship. * Los Angeles Daily Journal *By demonstrating the revolutionary character of the papal reformation, Berman upsets periodizations commonly accepted by Church historians, positivists, Marxist historians, and historians of the law… Law and Revolution is itself a revolutionary book in obliging the practitioners of many university disciplines to readjust their focus and to see in law a revolutionary cultural force. -- George H.

Princeton University Press Beyond the FormalistRealist Divide
Book SynopsisReveals how the story about the formalist age was an invention of politically motivated critics of the courts, and how it has led to significant misunderstandings about legal realism. This title traces how this false tale has distorted studies of judging by political scientists and debates among legal theorists.Trade Review"Tamanaha has written a provocative challenge to conventional wisdom about the rise of judicial realism... Strongly recommended for scholars and students of law, political science, and history."--Choice "Beyond the Formalist-Realist Divide is a clearly written and groundbreaking book. Although its focus is historical, its objective--in which it succeeds--is to change the way we think about law today."--Henry Cohen, Federal Lawyer "Tamanaha's book reflects some striking research into the views of (largely forgotten or neglected) 19th-century law professors and jurists, and the material he has brought to our attention will demand attention from legal historians... [W]e should be grateful to Tamanaha for his provocative historical research, for laying down a vigorous challenge that should be met by historians of ideas and social scientists, and for imparting appropriate intellectual caution and modesty to future writers who might otherwise be prone to casual talk about a 'formalist' age in American legal thought."--Brian Leiter, Legal Theory "Tamanaha's ... book will change the way we think about both formalism and realism, about the history of legal scholarship and about the empirical study of judicial decision making."--Edward Rubin, Law and Politics ReviewTable of ContentsAcknowledgments ix CHAPTER 1: Introduction 1 PART ONE: THE LEGAL FORMALISTS CHAPTER 2: The Myth about Beliefs in the Common Law 13 CHAPTER 3: The Myth about "Mechanical Jurisprudence" 27 CHAPTER 4: The Holes in the Story about Legal Formalism 44 PART TWO: The Legal Realists CHAPTER 5: Realism before the Legal Realists 67 CHAPTER 6: A Reconstruction of Legal Realism 91 PART THREE: STUDIES OF JUDGING CHAPTER 7: The Slant in the "Judicial Politics" Field 111 CHAPTER 8: What Quantitative Studies of Judging Have Found 132 PART FOUR: LEGAL THEORY CHAPTER 9: The Emptiness of "Formalism" in Legal Theory 159 CHAPTER 10: Beyond the Formalist-Realist Divide 181 Afterword 200 Notes 203 Index 251

MY - University of Toronto Press Aggressive in Pursuit
Book SynopsisFew people have had a greater impact on the lives of Canadians than the late Supreme Court judge Justice Emmett Hall. At the forefront of several important judgements in the 1960s and 70s such as Truscott and Calder Hall is perhaps best known for his role in the adoption of universal health care at the federal level in 1968. Based on extensive interviews with Hall and people who knew him, Frederick Vaughan''s Aggressive in Pursuit tells Hall''s remarkable story.Born in Quebec in 1898 and raised in Saskatchewan, Hall had a long and distinguished career as a lawyer. In 1957, former law school classmate Prime Minister John Diefenbaker appointed Hall to the Saskatchewan Court of Queen''s Bench, and four years later to the office of Chief Justice of Saskatchewan. In 1963, Diefenbaker elevated Hall to the Supreme Court of Canada, where he took up the task of universal health care and showed himself to be an aggressive defender of native causes.Aggressive in Pursu

Temple University Press,U.S. Fitting the Facts of Crime
Book SynopsisPresenting a biopsychosocial perspective to explain the most common findings in criminology--and for guiding future research and public policyTrade Review"Biology and environment interact to direct human behavior. Crime is no exception. This comprehensive introduction, cleverly organized around Braithwaite’s facts of crime, describes how biological explanations can be integrated with social and psychological explanations to explain offending and to provide a more productive response to it from the criminal justice system. The authors provide a persuasive, balanced, and clear presentation and support it with current real-world examples. The result is an approachable introduction that provides a meaningful organizing framework for understanding crime from an interdisciplinary perspective that includes biology."—William Alex Pridemore, SUNY Distinguished Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University at Albany–SUNY"A key takeaway from this book is that biological and sociological perspectives are complementary and not competing. Fitting the Facts of Crime will hopefully serve to further open the minds of criminologists to the importance of biology, as well as to ease tensions between more fundamentalist biological and sociological schools of thought. Because of how contentious some debates in this area can be, it is important for a book like this to present information in a neutral, non-defensive way, and to hold the audience from both sides. The authors have successfully accomplished this."—Jillian J. Turanovic, Associate Professor in the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Florida State University, and coauthor of Thinking about Victimization: Context and Consequences"The main contribution of the book is to adapt some of the facts of criminology that have been accepted for more or less 30 years to the present day.... One of the most important conclusions of the book is that biological and sociological perspectives are complementary. Fitting the Facts of Crime brings criminologists together with biology. Although biopsychosocial criminology is not a theory in its own right, the empirical findings in the field are efficiently explained in the book."—Contemporary Sociology"The authors clearly have a rich knowledge and appreciation of multiple ways of understanding crime, law, social control, and their underlying assumptions. Undoubtedly, there will be much resistance to, and criticisms of, the arguments presented throughout this innovative monograph, especially in sociological circles. However, increasingly, open-minded criminologists from different theoretical backgrounds are sincerely attempting to cross-fertilize, and this book will give them additional motivation to stay the course. Summing Up: Highly recommended."—W. S. DeKeseredy, Choice"Overall, this book is a wonderful introduction to those interested in a biopsychosocial approach because it is accessible and well-organized. It makes solid connections between traditional theories and newer biopsychosocial theories, as well as emphasizes that criminal behavior is not just the result of social factors or biological factors alone but a combination of both. Anyone in the criminology and criminal justice field would benefit from reading this book to expand their existing knowledge of how integrating a biopsychosocial approach can provide a broader understanding of criminal behavior and crime in general."—Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books

Duke University Press Law by Night
Book SynopsisIn Law by Night Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller asks what we can learn about modern law and its authority by understanding how it operates in the dark of night. He outlines how the social experience and cultural meanings of night promote racialized and gender violence, but also make possible freedom of movement for marginalized groups that might be otherwise unavailable during the day. Examining nighttime racial violence, curfews, gun ownership, the right to sleep, and “take back the night” rallies, Goldberg-Hiller demonstrates that liberal legal doctrine lacks a theory of the night that accounts for a nocturnal politics that has historically allowed violence to persist. By locating the law’s nocturnal limits, Goldberg-Hiller enriches understandings of how the law reinforces hierarchies of race and gender and foregrounds the night’s potential to enliven a more egalitarian social life.Trade Review“Bringing a highly sophisticated theoretical mind to a richly woven thick description of legal practices, Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller asks how our conceptions of law would change if we thought about it from a metaphor of darkness. Throughout this fascinating and thought-provoking book, he attends to how public imaginaries of darkness are affected by race and gender and how the law of the dark has an ambiguous relation to human freedom and security. As he demonstrates, the law is obscure, complex, and lacks transparency—this is the law’s own essential darkness.” -- Linda Ross Meyer, author of * Sentencing in Time *“In this highly original and intellectually creative book Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller recognizes that night is a real part of our temporal and material worlds as well as a metaphor for absence—the time and place where normal law is in abeyance. It is this confluence of the literal, conceptual, and metaphorical that makes Law by Night distinct. Goldberg-Hiller’s juxtaposition of a variety of legal issues never previously brought together under the theme of night is nothing short of brilliant.” -- Cressida J.

Book SynopsisCanada's criminal justice system reinforces dominant relations of power and further entrenches the country in its colonial past. Through the mechanisms of surveillance, segregation, and containment, the criminal justice system ensures that Indigenous peoples remain in a state of economic deprivation, social isolation, and political subjection. By examining the ways in which the Canadian justice system continues to sanction overtly discriminatory and racist practices, the authors in this collection demonstrate clearly how historical patterns of privilege and domination are extended and reinforced.

St Augustine's Press Treatise on Law – The Complete Text
Book SynopsisThis is a new English translation of St. Thomas Aquinas’s Treatise on Law, found in Questions 90–108 of the First Part of the Second Part of the Summa Theologiae. In fact, it is the only free-standing English translation of the entire Treatise, which includes both a general account of law (Questions 90–92) and also specific treatments of what St. Thomas identifies as the five kinds of law: the eternal law (Question 93), the natural law (Question 94), human law (Questions 95–97), the Old Law (Questions 98–105), and the New Law (Questions 106–108). All other extant editions of Treatise on Law stop with the human law, and are thus approximately one-third the size of the full Treatise. St. Thomas’s account of law is firmly embedded within a general moral theory that begins with a rich conception of human flourishing, i.e., the good for human beings (Questions 1–5). This good consists, first and foremost, in our ultimate and intimate union with the Persons of the Blessed Trinity – a union that in our present state we can grasp intellectively and pursue affectively only with God’s supernatural assistance. It is within this framework that we order our loves and pursue the more proximate goals they open up to us as human beings in this life. Given the appropriate goals, the next question is how we can get from where we are, in the grips of the consequences of Original Sin, to where we want to be. The answer is: by means of (a) human actions that are good, i.e., rightly ordered toward our ultimate end and (b) the habits that these actions either engender or flow from. In analyzing human actions (Questions 6–21) and their relation to the passions (Questions 22–48), St. Thomas gives a general account of what he calls the ‘intrinsic principles’ of human actions and their associated habits – both virtues (Questions 49–70) and vices (Questions 71–89). It is only then that he turns to what he calls the ‘extrinsic principles’ of good human actions, viz., law (Questions 90–108) and grace (Questions 109–114). According to St. Thomas, law, far from supplanting virtue as a basic principle of action, serves as an independent principle of action that complements virtue and is itself capable of being factored into practical deliberation. The reason is that all of God’s precepts, prohibitions, and punishments are aimed at promoting the good of the whole universe and, more particularly, the good for human beings, both individually and within the various forms of social life. Because of this, law serves as both a restraint on bad actions and a spur to good action, i.e., a restraint on actions that take us away from virtue and genuine human flourishing and a spur to actions that promote virtue and flourishing. There are many benefits of having the whole treatise rather than just the first few questions, as has been the standard practice in previous editions of the Treatise on Law. To mention just a few of these benefits, the question on the moral precepts of the Old Law (question 100) helps to illuminate in many different ways the earlier questions on natural law and human law (questions 94–97). Again, the questions on the ceremonial and judicial precepts of the Old Law (questions 101–105) demon-strate in depth the symbiotic relationship that St. Thomas takes to obtain between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The questions on the New Law provide an introduction to the Christian way of life that will be described in incomparable detail in the Second Part of the Second Part, the bulk of which is structured around the treatment of the three theological virtues and the four cardinal virtues.

Harvard University Press Rethinking Juvenile Justice
Book SynopsisWhat should we do with teens who commit crimes? Two leading scholars in law and adolescent development argue that juvenile justice should be grounded in the best available psychological science, which shows that adolescence is a distinctive state of cognitive and emotional development.Trade ReviewAmerica's justice system has become increasingly punitive toward our teenagers during past 25 years. Terrifying terms like "super predator," "zero tolerance" and "vicious youth gangs" are part of our everyday speech. But as Scott and Steinberg show, new neuroscientific and psychological evidence challenges the punitive approach. The book combines rigorous science and impeccable legal scholarship, with forceful prose, to argue for a wholesale reform of the juvenile justice system. -- Terrie Moffitt, Duke University and King's College LondonScott and Steinberg, leading figures in juvenile law and adolescent developmental psychology, have joined forces to argue that now is the moment to reconstitute, in a completely original way, how America deals with juvenile crime and juvenile offenders. At once deeply learned and altogether pragmatic, Rethinking Juvenile Justice is one of the most transformative books this field has seen in the past 20 years. -- John Monahan, Shannon Distinguished Professor of Law, University of VirginiaThe subject of juvenile justice breeds extreme responses. The academic sensibility is extremely lenient, seeing misguided kids who need understanding and help more than punishment. The legal system is mindlessly punitive: juvenile defendants in the US are treated more harshly than adults elsewhere in the Western world. In the midst of this crazy conversation, Scott and Steinberg are voices of sanity. Their wholly novel approach to juvenile crime will make equal sense to judges, juvenile advocates, and urban police forces. This book is a terrific example of what speaking truth to power, effectively, looks like. -- William Stuntz, Harvard Law SchoolThis multidisciplinary book is exactly what policy makers should consult when thinking about ways to change a system that is in dire need of repair. -- D. S. Mann * Choice *What distinguishes this book from other writings in the field are not the proposals made, which are relatively modest, but rather the developmental sophistication with which they are defended. And in the end, the hard questions the book raises are not about juvenile justice policy, but rather about the interrelationship between law and science. Offering us the gold standard in legal-developmental collaboration, it presses us to consider the role the developmental sciences should play in shaping the law affecting children...What makes the book so valuable is that it can be relied upon by judges, legislatures, lawyers, and policymakers to enhance the sophistication with which they consider the very issues that they are currently being called on to decide. In this sense, Rethinking Juvenile Justice is a complete success. Lawmakers already look to Scott and Steinberg's earlier work when they address how the law should respond to juvenile crime, and this book should only enhance the sophistication of those lawmaking efforts...Rethinking Juvenile Justice promises to enhance the sophistication of those addressing juvenile justice policy on a broad range of issues. -- Emily Buss * University of Chicago Law Review *[Scott and Steinberg] believe that new juvenile justice reforms that publicize available scientific developmental data and empirical data demonstrating savings in recidivism and costs due to keeping kids in the juvenile system will be successful. They believe that we can avoid the demolition of the courts or at least staunch the loss of so many young offenders from the courts' jurisdiction...This book is one of the very few works that provides legal and developmental analyses and offers politically savvy advice about implementing a successful legislative strategy...This is a book that everyone should read. -- Lucy S.

Columbia University Press Human Trafficking Around the World
Book SynopsisThis unprecedented study of sex trafficking, forced labor, organ trafficking, and sex tourism across twenty-four nations.Trade ReviewStephanie Hepburn and Rita J. Simon make an effective case that while the specifics of trafficking vary depending on its focal point, there are certain constants. In their review of a range of countries, they demonstrate that economics, geography, civil unrest, societal inequality, and gender disparities play a major role in how trafficking manifests itself. -- Christa Stewart, New York State Office of Human Trafficking, Office of Temporary Disability Assistance I recommend this comprehensive study to anyone wanting to understand the fight against the modern-day slavetrade. The book stands apart by augmenting nation-by-nation accounts of trafficking realities with critiques of existing local anti-trafficking measures and consideration of local obstacles. Supported by diverse sources, the authors set forth clear policy recommendations to combat trafficking. -- Lori J. Johnson, staff attorney, Farmworker Unit, Legal Aid of North Carolina Human trafficking and sexual exploitation are complex issues which differ in nature from country to country, and very often accounts of human trafficking are based on anecdotal evidence. Hepburn and Simon managed to delve beneath the surface of policies and legislation within the various countries that they studied by involving those who are involved at a grass root level and have come up with a fascinating account of these practices in the various countries covered in their book. -- Carol Bews, assistant director, Johannesburg Child Welfare Society This volume demonstrates ways in which global migration policies and programs facilitate human trafficking by focusing on law enforcement rather than promoting uniform labor standards. Its broad focus helps readers compare practices among countries and understand the transnational impact of national legislation and policies on human trafficking around the globe. -- Gretchen Kuhner, author of the American Bar Association's Human Trafficking Assessment Tool Report Immensely well-documented and useful.

Harvard University Press Private Wrongs
Book SynopsisTort law recognizes the many ways one person wrongs another. Arthur Ripstein brings coherence to torts’ diversity in a philosophically grounded, analytically powerful theory. He shows that all torts violate the basic moral idea that each person is in charge of his or her own person and property, and never in charge of another’s person or property.Trade ReviewRipstein is among the world’s leading philosophers. In Private Wrongs he offers a derivation of tort law’s complex body of rules from a foundational moral principle that is at once elegant, original, and ambitious. Scholars working in private law and in legal, moral, and political philosophy will be required to engage with it, and will want to. -- John Goldberg, Harvard UniversityFor those coming to the form of argument presented by Ripstein for the first time, a common reaction may be ‘Can the law possibly be this clear and straightforward to understand?’ To which the only possible response is yes. Yes it is. Anyone wishing to cut through the white noise that has come to surround private law in general, and the law of torts in particular, and hear the truth clearly expressed should read this book. -- Robert Stevens, University of OxfordThis is a stellar book. Ripstein fully restores what might be called the pre-Holmesian, non-reductive, or classical account of tort law. He compels us to regard this classical view as a serious and morally significant option. -- Martin J. Stone, Cardozo Law School

Book SynopsisIn Philosophy of Law, Andrei Marmor provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary debates about the fundamental nature of law--an issue that has been at the heart of legal philosophy for centuries. What the law is seems to be a matter of fact, but this fact has normative significance: it tells people what they ought to do. Marmor argues that thTrade Review"This superb book, written by one of the world's foremost philosophers of law, is a highly welcome addition to the jurisprudential literature, one marked by its immense pedagogical value and scholarly excellence. It provides, in clear, accessible language, an informed, sympathetic treatment of all the main issues and theories within the discipline of contemporary analytic legal philosophy. Not only will it be of immense value to the student first encountering the field, it will equally engage the interest of the seasoned scholar and advanced student keen to know Marmor's own, distinctive take on these important matters. A remarkable achievement."—W. J. Waluchow, author of A Common Law Theory of Judicial Review"This is an excellent book. The quality of argumentation is first-class, and readers will gain significant benefits from Marmor's careful, well-argued, and thorough analysis."—Brian Bix, University of MinnesotaTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Chapter One: A Pure Theory of Law? 12 Chapter Two: Social Rules at the Foundations of Law 35 Chapter Three: Authority, Conventions, and the Normativity of Law 60 Chapter Four: Is Law Determined by Morality? 84 Chapter Five: Is Legal Philosophy Normative? 109 Chapter Six: The Language of Law 136 Bibliography 161 Index 167
