Media Reviews

'Patterson collects fifteen of the classic articles in legal theory and presents them whole. The book provides an excellent introduction to several of the major topics making it useful both as a student text and as a sourcebook for academics and non--academics alike.' Larry Alexander, University of San Diego School of Law 'A wonderful selection from the classics in legal theory. It should prove an excellent and invaluable text for classroom use.' Brian Bix, University of Minnesota, author of Jurisprudence: Theory and Context 'Dennis Patterson has produced a fine anthology, one that will be particularly useful for those interested in learning about recent debates in analytic jurisprudence.' Jeremy Waldron, Columbia Law School
