Cambridge University Press ContentIndependence in Law
Book SynopsisThis Element examines the notion of content-independence and its relevance for understanding various aspects of the character of law. Its task should be understood expansively, as encompassing both inquiry into that which makes law into what it is, and inquiry into what law ought to be, which values it ought to serve, and which aspects of its character may play a facilitative role in law realising aspects of its potential. Many existing discussions of content-independence focus largely on the justificatory aspects of content-independence: whether, and, if so, how, there can be content-independent reasons for action, or content-independent justifications of rules, or the extent to which political obligation is content-independent. This Element, too, examines such issues but also seeks to explore an additional possibility: that the notion of content-independence can illuminate issues regarding law''s existence, identification, and systematicity.

Cambridge University Press A.V. Dicey and the Common Law Constitutional Tradition
Book SynopsisIn the common law world, Albert Venn Dicey (18351922) is known as the high priest of orthodox constitutional theory, as an ideological and nationalistic positivist. In his analytical coldness, his celebration of sovereign power, and his incessant drive to organize and codify legal rules separate from moral values or political realities, Dicey is an uncanny figure. This book challenges this received view of Dicey. Through a re-examination of his life and his 1885 book Law of the Constitution, the high priest Dicey is defrocked and a more human Dicey steps forward to offer alternative ways of reading his canonical text, who struggled to appreciate law as a form of reasoned discourse that integrates values of legality and authority through methods of ordinary legal interpretation. The result is a unique common law constitutional discourse through which assertions of sovereign power are conditioned by moral aspirations associated with the rule of law.Trade Review'In this highly engaging and elegantly written book, Mark Walters skilfully combines biography, history, constitutional law, jurisprudence and moral theory to give us a compelling account of Dicey and his thinking. He presents a major challenge to the orthodox picture of Dicey as a legal positivist writing in the shadow of John Austin. We find in these pages a more complex and sophisticated thinker, developing an understanding of law as a discourse of reason, closer to the work of his friends Henry Sidgwick and T. H. Green. Anyone interested in the nature of common law constitutionalism, as a distinctive account of the legal order, will be gripped by this very fine book. It enables us to see why, despite the frequently dismissive criticism, Dicey's work has rightly remained so interesting and influential. We can grasp the profound implications for human freedom of constitutional law being, in its common law conception, 'ordinary' law.' T. R. S. Allan, Professor of Jurisprudence and Public Law, University of Cambridge'The book is of immense importance for anyone with an interest in the Common Law or jurisprudence, especially within a United Kingdom context.'

Cambridge University Press Written and Unwritten
Book SynopsisThe United States Federal Courts of Appeals decide cases concerning the most important issues of our time. This book is an unprecedented look into the internal operations of the courts, detailing the norms and unwritten customs of their day to day operations.Trade Review'This book, authored by an eminent federal circuit judge and an expert academic, fills a conspicuous void when it comes to understanding how our federal appellate courts work in practice. Long overdue, it provides a blueprint for both the legal practitioner and those interested in learning more about the practical considerations that define appellate advocacy. On my bookshelf for sure.' Kenneth R. Feinberg, Esq., former Administrator of the September 11, Victim Compensation Fund'The judicial administration 'dream team' of Judge Jon O. Newman and Duke Law Professor Marin K. Levy have discovered and described the written and unwritten practices and customs of the nation's 13 courts of appeals. Appellate lawyers, judges, and scholars will be delighted to have this compilation of practices and customs, many of which vary considerably from circuit to circuit.' David F. Levi, Dean Emeritus, Duke University Law School, and former President, American Law Institute'The book means that lawyers can more readily find out how to present their cases in different circuits. It means that the judges of different circuits can far more easily learn how their counterparts elsewhere in the federal system organize the judicial appellate task. And it means knowledge will bring about improvement as judges in each circuit learn how others handle similar problems. The result: a judicial system that works better for those whom it serves.'
