Format: Hardcover
More philosophy of law courses need to be structured like this book. Patterson & White use a case-based approach to show students how the philosophy of law relates to the actual practice of law. This approach is fundamental, for too much traditional jurisprudence reads like armchair reflection on what law might be like rather than what law actually is in the real world, and the latter can only be discovered by actually LEARNING THE LAW -- either through cases or other primary sources. It is only through learning the law first that one may distinguish real jurisprudential issues from ones that lazy philosophers (and this happens all too often) invent of their own accord. Patterson & White's text prepares the student to identify legal-philosophical issues in case studies by first giving them a command of eight major contrasting positions in philosophy of law. Covering private law cases more than public law, brief essays precede and excellent discussion questions follow each case.
