Reviews

Rhetoric and the Rule of Law is a fine work. It is stimulating: it makes the reader want to argue and test its tenets. It is too good to be read only by legal theorists. Joe Thomson, Edinburgh Law Review, Vol 13, 2009


Its erudite elegance means that it will serve as an excellent introduction to jurisprudence for undergraduates, as well as providing a major contribution to legal philosophy. MacCormick reaffirms the dialectic between the universal and the particular. James Lee, University of Birmingham, Jurisprudence
