This volume will be of interest and value to students of logic, ethics, and political philosophy, as well as to members of the legal profession and to everyone concerned with problems of government and jurisprudence. By citing a large number of cases, the author makes his presentation of the processes of judicial interpretation particularly lucid.

Review: An Introduction to Legal Reasoning

User Review  - David Hine - Goodreads

I'd probably appreciate it more if I completely understood it. A good overview of how a body of law expands and changes in constitutional, case law, and statutory contexts. I intend to re-read it soon. Read full review
