Full title :Understanding and explaining adjudication / William Lucy.

Summary

"Understanding and Explaining Adjudication is the first book to analyse the methods and values employed within contemporary accounts of adjudication. These accounts are divided into orthodox philosophies on the one hand and heretical approaches on the other. The author offers an incisive and original analysis of how these supposedly incompatible accounts actually differ. Through an evaluation of the works of Neil MacCormick, Joseph Raz, and Ronald Dworkin, which represent the orthodoxy, and those of Duncan Kennedy and Roberto Unger, as representative of the heresy, William Lucy argues that there are fewer important differences than might initially appear. Rather, the author concludes, both approaches face acute problems in relation to the methods and values they apply when interpreting adjudication."--Jacket.
