Trade Review
"There are silly ways of criticizing works by CLS scholars, and there are intelligent ways... An example of an intelligent critique is provided by this short but elegant book."--Wojciech Sadurski, Ethics "A serious response to CLS proponents... Anyone who teaches, writes, or researches in the area of jurisprudence or political philosophy would benefit from this book."--Jean Rendleman Kelley, Teaching Philosophy
