Beyond the Formalist-Realist Divide

Meer over het boek

Challenging the traditional dichotomy between American legal realism and formalism, this book reveals a more nuanced understanding of these legal theories. It critiques the oversimplified view of realists as radically skeptical and formalists as either naïve or deceptive. By providing a fresh perspective, it aims to reshape the discourse around legal interpretation and practice. Essential reading for lawyers, judges, and legal scholars, it promises to transform perceptions of law and its foundational theories.
