Through a close study of several cases, from abortion to taxes, Kent Greenawalt demonstrates how to weigh competing values without losing sight of practical considerations like the difficulty of implementing a specific law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe qualities that make Greenawalt so universally and strongly admired  are on full display here—thoughtfulness, mastery of detail, deep empathy  for competing positions, and clear writing. This will be an important  book, not only in the fraught present but also in the calmer future. -- Nelson Tebbe, Brooklyn Law School\u003cbr\u003eThis book deserves a good deal of attention. Like all of Greenawalt’s work, \u003ci\u003eExemptions\u003c\/i\u003e is clear, careful, and superbly parsed. -- Paul Horwitz, University of Alabama School of Law\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreenawalt, in this readable, informative, in-depth study, probes the under-researched area of government exemptions. The author’s primary focus is the basic underlying reasons for deciding to grant exemptions and determining their scope. Greenawalt persuasively illustrates, beyond recent controversial headlines, how to weigh\u003cbr\u003ecompeting values favoring or opposing exemptions from historical, comparative, and critical perspectives. Readers of Greenawalt’s work will have the tools necessary to analyze today’s controversies resulting from \u003ci\u003eObergefell v. Hodges\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBurwell v. Hobby Lobby\u003c\/i\u003e. The connecting thread between granting or opposing an exemption is Greenawalt’s contention that serious reflection on what should be done requires recognition of actual competing considerations and genuine concern for fellow citizens who differ from others in significant ways.\u003c\/p\u003e -- J.
