Table of ContentsReviewsThe Force of Law has the virtues of all of Schauer s work: clear and accessible writing, the grounding of persuasive arguments on good examples and a wide range of scholarship, and fair consideration of opposing views. It is an important contribution to jurisprudential debates about the nature of law and about the proper approach to theorizing in this area.--Brian H. Bix, University of Minnesota Law School Drawing upon language, moral, sociological, and economic theory, Schauer explores what makes legal norms unique and why and under what conditions individuals truly obey the law. He asserts that although coercion may not be the only reason people obey the law, often getting individuals to act in ways they would not normally act requires some type of force. This force need not necessarily be negative coercion as normally conceived but can involve an array of sanctions to condition behavior in specific ways.--D. Schultz Choice (09/01/2015) Author InformationFrederick Schauer is David and Mary Harrison Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Virginia.
