Law's Empire

Analytical deep-dive into law's philosophical underpinnings.

If you're intrigued by the principles that guide how laws govern us and how they're interpreted, "Law's Empire" is a book you shouldn't miss. Dworkin's thorough examination of legal authority and democracy will resonate with you if you appreciate a careful, academic approach to the seemingly abstract yet impactful world of lawmaking. It's a substantial read that offers a coherent perspective on the legal system’s role in society.

Description

Ronald Dworkin's Law's Empire examines the nature of law, its authority, its application in democracy, the central role of interpretation in judgement, and the relationship between lawmakers and lawgivers to the community on whose behalf they speak. For that community, Law's Empire offers a thoughtful and coherent introduction to the place of law in our lives. Originally published by HarperCollins; this edition was reprinted in 1998 by Hart Publishing.
