Jurisprudence: Theory and Context explains the often complex and difficult ideas in legal philosophy clearly, while avoiding the distortion that can come with over-simplification.
"Professor Bix has a genius for writing about the most difficult and frequently arcane aspects of legal theory with a remarkable lightness of touch, an assurance, an authoritativeness, and a degree of accessibility which no other writer in this area can match." Adam Tomkins, John Millar Professor of Public Law, University of Glasgow
"For an overview of jurisprudence that is insightful as well as clear, critical but also generous in its assessments, one can't do better than this book." Robert W Gordon, Yale Law School
