"Readings in the Philosophy of Law is a concise anthology of central arguments and issues in legal theory. Retaining the structure and key selections of previous editions, the third edition is organized around the ideas of law and legal reasoning, limits on individual liberty, responsibility, and international law. New topics include legal pluralism, anti-terrorism legislation, hate crime, and judicial review of constitutional rights. Selections are lightly edited, and introductions and discussion questions are included to support student understanding."-- Provided by publisher |
