Synopsis
What is law? What is it for? How should judges decide novel cases when the statutes and earlier decisions provide no clear answer? Do judges make up new law in such cases, or is there some higher law in which they discover the correct answer? Must everyone always obey the law? If not, when is a citizen morally free to disobey?

Review
'A review cannot do full justice to Taking Rights Seriously. It is a tightly packed, energetic and profound book, the result of deep study and teaching... it is also well-written and easy to read.' --Times Literary Supplement
'Quite exceptionally erudite and sophisticated.' --Lord Hailsham
