    by Frederick Schauer ...
    Series series Clarendon Law Series
    This is a philosophical but non-technical analysis of the very idea of a rule.

    Edited by Nicoletta Bersier, Christoph Bezemek, Frederick Schauer ...
    Series series Law and Criminology (R0)
    The volume is dedicated to the concept of sanctions and to the reassessment of its interrelation with the concept of law.
