Common Law Theory
In this book, legal scholars, philosophers, historians, and political scientists
from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United
States analyze mon law through three of its classic themes: rules, rea-
soning, and constitutionalism. Their essays, missioned for this
volume, provide an opportunity for thinkers from different jurisdictions and
disciplines to talk to one another and to their wider audience within and beyond
mon law world. This book allows scholars and students to consider how
these themes and concepts relate to one another. It will initiate and sustain a
more inclusive and well-informed theoretical discussion of mon law’s
method, process, and structure. It will be valuable to lawyers, philosophers,
political scientists, and historians interested in constitutional law, comparative
law, judicial process, legal theory, law and society, legal history, separation of
powers, democratic theory, political philosophy, the courts, and the relationship
of mon law tradition to other legal systems of the world.
Douglas E. Edlin is an assistant professor of political science at Dickinson
College.
