Reviews
"For clarity, fair-mindedness and engaging treatment of the diverse strands of contemporary legal theory, there is no better guide... This book covers more ground with more good sense than many other works do with many more pages." Martha Minow, Jeremiah Smith Jr., Professor of Law, Harvard Law School

"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
