Table of ContentsReviews0;The idea of the 6;limits of law7; is taken from the margins to the center of legal theory in this provocative collection. In the hands of these writers, even the submission to law is reimagined as a choice to invoke law7;s limits, and therefore an act not itself bound by law. Ultimately, limits are not the ends of law, or a place where law runs out, but where law is generated and constituted. At a time when many argue that post-9/11 exigencies require governments to act outside lawis limits, this collection is an elegant and essential rejoinder.1; 2;Mary L. Dudziak, University of Southern California Law School T]he essays collected in The Limits of Law, and the editors' well-crafted introductory essay, present 'law' in all of its richness and complexity. --Law and Politics Book Review These essays collectively give weight to the editors' claim, put forward in the introduction, that the study of law's limits has always, perhaps paradoxically, been central to the study of law's core, as well as to their deeper jurisprudential argument that law's normative, descriptive, and constitutive limits define law and its relation to power. An important collection for everyone interested in contemporary debates in jurisprudence, socio-cultural studies, and political theory, regarding law's reach, coherence, and desirability. - Robin West, Georgetown University Law Center The idea of the 'limits of law' is taken from the margins to the center of legal theory in this provocative collection.
