``Contains essays by distinguished scholars...grouped around four major topics: democracy and the rule of law, justice and the rule of law, rationality and the rule of law, and limits to the rule of law. Thoroughly indexed.``
Choice
``Leading legal and political thinkers explore the ideal of replacing arbitrary political regimes with governments constrained by the rule of law.``
The Journal
``The latest book in the well-regarged NOMOS series is one of the best yet...Maintaining and strengthening the rule of law is seldom easy and not always clearly desirable. Problems as fundamenal as judicial discretion, statutory interpretation, judicial review, civil disobedience, democratic self-government, conflicts of political ideals and efforts at their rational resolution, and immoral laws, are among those that must be faced by the advocate of the rule of law. All of these topics are here discussed in penetrating essays. This is surely one of the most useful works on its topics that we have.``
