Reviews

Justice Back and Forth: Duties to the Past and Future provides an excellent overview of issues faced when thinking about temporal justice. By addressing interesting and somewhat well-known problems, Richard Vernon exposes the reader to the current academic theory and literature on the topic, and adeptly links together considerations and solutions for both past and future conceptions of temporal justice. -- Brad Smith * Saskatchewan Law Review *
