Law's Empire

As an advocate Dworkin is tirelessly fluent and endlessly inventive… and this is a surprisingly fraternal book, open, busy, engaging and teeming with ideas. It will give many readers a great deal of pleasure and instruction. – John Dunn * Times Literary Supplement *Laws Empire stands out for intellectual deftness, elegance and surprisingness. – Alan Ryan * New Society *Laws Empire is a rich and multilayered work … unusually accessible for a work dealing with abstract questions at such a high level. It is an ambitious book, and it does not disappoint the expectations appropriate to a major work by an important thinker. – Thomas Nagel * London Review of Books *Breaks new ground in a way that is both provocative and convincing. – D.D. Raphael * Times Higher Education Supplement *
