Reviews
"""Keil and Poscher, have usefully brought together leading scholars working on the topic of vagueness in philosophy and in law, this book fosters a dialogue between philosophers and legal scholars by examining how philosophers conceive vagueness in law from their theoretical perspective and how legal theorists make use of philosophical theories of vagueness... It is a great contribution to the continuing debate."" - Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers ""...each chapter is eminently readable and worthy of thoughtful consideration. I found it to be fascinating and it opened up new pathways in how I consider legislation. The chapters are filled with interesting theoretical and practical examples on the use, abuse and interpretation of legislation. For anyone with an interest in legislation, it should make us stop and consider, in a more profound way, how vagueness is affecting our endeavours."" - Ronan Cormacain, The Theory and Practice of Legislation"
