The Judicial Process: Realism, Pragmatism, Practical Reasoning and Principles

Autor E. W. Thomas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 iun 2008
In the absence of a sound conception of the judicial role, judges at present can be said to be 'muddling along'. They disown the declaratory theory of law but continue to behave and think as if it had not been discredited. Much judicial reasoning still exhibits an unquestioning acceptance of positivism and a 'rulish' predisposition. Formalistic thinking continues to exert a perverse influence on the legal process. This 2005 book dismantles these outdated theories and seeks to bridge the gap between legal theory and judicial practice. The author propounds a coherent and comprehensive judicial methodology for modern times. Founded on the truism that the law exists to serve society, and adopting the twin criteria of justice and contemporaneity with the times, a judicial methodology is developed which is realistic and pragmatic and which embraces a revised conception of practical reasoning, including in that conception a critical role for legal principles.

Recenzii

Review of the hardback: 'Clearly written, informative, intelligent and stimulating, The Judicial Process is a welcome addition to works in the tradition of Cardozo in imparting insights as to how judges view the process of which they are a part. Legal theory is engaged with in an informed and illuminating manner. Obscure or obdurate positions are disarmed with imaginative devices and humour, and the restrained but effective use of case studies. In establishing the clear connections between legal theory and the law in practice the author has written a jurisprudential work which will be of great value to judges, law practitioners and legal academics throughout the common law world.' Professor Andrew Halpin, Southampton University
Review of the hardback: 'This outstanding book, written by an experienced and distinguished Judge, is a timely reminder that the courts exist to help the citizens of a free and democratic society obtain justice through the legal process in an uncertain and continually changing world. To achieve this end, the author advances a comprehensive conception of the judicial role founded on an extensive study of legal theory and practice.' Professor George C. Christie, Duke University, North Carolina
