This anthology of classical and contemporary philosophical and legal essays and legal cases focuses on legal philosophy as its own subject–rather than as an outgrowth of social or political philosophy or applied ethics. The essays focus on how law is organized and the particular philosophical issues that law raises. The book requires readers to think through actual debates–many of them still live in the courts. Initial sections on legal practice, legal reasoning, and the nature of law are followed by discussions of criminal, tort, contract, property and constitutional law. Also includes strong religious freedom and equality and the constitution coverage. For lawyers or philosophers studying legal philosophy.

Clearly Need To Spend Time Reviewing Both In Critical and Speed Read Mode,
This review is from: Readings in the Philosophy of Law (4th Edition) (Paperback)
After having spent my third week in this 'Philosophy of Law and Ethics' Class, it is critical to be a week or two ahead of the game(to be successful); most of the Philosophers and/or Political Figures are from another Era (Classical and Some Contemporary). It takes a bit of practice to read or even think along the lines. The paragraphs are a bit 'flowery' and long-winded versus 'straight-to-the-point'. Take Good Notes and Find A Quiet Place. An individual that is new to this type of reading would need to re-read the pages 2-5 times to grasp the lingo thus be prepared for the Comprehensive Exams.
However, it is a very good book and highly recommend. If an American Government class could be taken in conjunction with this, it would actually do a world of good. It kind of fills in the Gaps. SusanSaige Susan Bradbury (Bernstein)
