  • The Double-Facing Constitution

    Edited by Jacco Bomhoff, David Dyzenhaus, Thomas Poole ...
    This collection explores some of the many ways in which constitutional orders engage with, and are shaped by, their exteriors. Constitutional and legal theory often marginalize 'foreign' elements, such as norms originating in other legal systems, the movement of individuals across borders, or the application of domestic law to foreign affairs. In The Double-Facing Constitution, these instances of ... Read more

  • Law, Liberty and State

    Oakeshott, Hayek and Schmitt on the Rule of Law

    Edited by David Dyzenhaus, Thomas Poole ...
    Oakeshott, Hayek and Schmitt are associated with a conservative reaction to the 'progressive' forces of the twentieth century. Each was an acute analyst of the juristic form of the modern state and the relationship of that form to the idea of liberty under a system of public, general law. Hayek had the highest regard for Schmitt's understanding of the rule of law state despite Schmitt's hostility ... Read more

  • Hobbes and the Law

    Edited by David Dyzenhaus, Thomas Poole ...
    Hobbes's political thought provokes a perennial fascination. It has become particularly prominent in recent years, with the surge of scholarly interest evidenced by a number of monographs in political theory and philosophy.

  • The Judge in a Democracy

    by Aharon Barak ...
    Whether examining election outcomes, the legal status of terrorism suspects, or if (or how) people can be sentenced to death, a judge in a modern democracy assumes a role that raises some of the most contentious political issues of our day. But do judges even have a role beyond deciding the disputes before them under law? What are the criteria for judging the justices who write opinions for the ... Read more

  • The End of Human Rights

    Critical Thought at the Turn of the Century

    by Professor Costas Douzinas ...
    The introduction of the Human Rights Act has led to an explosion in books on human rights, yet no sustained examination of their history and philosophy exists in the burgeoning literature. At the same time, while human rights have triumphed on the world stage as the ideology of postmodernity, our age has witnessed more violations of human rights than any previous, less enlightened one.

  • Founding Faith

    Providence, Politics, and the Birth of Religious Freedom in America

    by Steven Waldman ...
    The culture wars have distorted the dramatic story of how Americans came to worship freely. Many activists on the right maintain that the United States was founded as a “Christian nation.” Many on the left contend that the Founders were secular or Deist and that the First Amendment was designed to boldly separate church and state throughout the land. None of these claims are true, argues Beliefnet ... Read more

  • Law as a Leap of Faith

    Essays on Law in General

    by John Gardner ...
    How do laws resemble rules of games, moral rules, personal rules, rules found in religious teachings, school rules, and so on? Are laws rules at all? Are they all made by human beings? And if so how should we go about interpreting them? How are they organized into systems, and what does it mean for these systems to have 'constitutions'? Should everyone want to live under a system of law? Is there ... Read more
