Book Description

The rule of law, once widely embraced and emulated, now faces serious threats to its viability. To answer these fundamental threats, we first must return to its foundational principles. This book articulates a coherent framework and foundation for thinking about the rule of law and planning strategies for building and defending it against serious challenges to its intelligibility, relevance, and normative force.

Editorial Reviews

"Lon Fuller famously articulated eight "principles of legality," which he offered as a characterization of the "internal morality" of law: laws must be general, public, prospective, clear, compatible with each other, possible to obey, stable, and consistently applied." -- John Oberdiek, Ethics
