Law''s Sources

Law's Sources offers an examination - part legal philosophy, part legal history - of sources of law and sources of information and opinion about law. Focusing on common law jurisdictions, Duxbury considers thorny questions raised by sources, not simply as matters of legal theory but also of judicial decision-making and practical legal reasoning.
