How to Do Things with Legal Doctrine de Pierre Schlag

How to Do Things with Legal Doctrine

Autor Pierre Schlag, Amy J. Griffin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 sep 2020
Legal doctrine—the creation of doctrinal concepts, arguments, and legal regimes built on the foundation of written law—is the currency of contemporary law. Yet law students, lawyers, and judges often take doctrine for granted, without asking even the most basic questions. How to Do Things with Legal Doctrine is a sweeping and original study that focuses on how to understand legal doctrine via a hands-on approach. Taking up the provocative invitations from the “New Doctrinalists,” Pierre Schlag and Amy J. Griffin refine the conceptual and rhetorical operations legal professionals perform with doctrine—focusing especially on those difficult moments where law seems to run out, but legal argument must go on.  The authors make the crucial operations of doctrine explicit, revealing how they work, and how they shape the law that emerges. How to Do Things with Legal Doctrine will help all those studying or working with law to gain a more systematic understanding of the doctrinal moves many of our best lawyers make intuitively.

Recenzii

"Two talented legal thinkers have put their minds to making a taxonomy of taxonomies! . . . For the benefit of all who read How to Do Things with Legal Doctrine, the book masterfully restates and improves received wisdom on how legal analysis works to create doctrine, but also adds many of its own insights. . . . this is an elegant, useful volume. I highly commend it as a good read."

"How to Do Things with Legal Doctrine would be a welcome addition for academic law library collections. It provides a comprehensive discussion of legal doctrine and related concepts."
