The Problems of Jurisprudence
Author: Richard A. PosnerPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674708761
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
In this book, Richard A. Posner examines how judges go about making difficult decisions. Posner argues that they cannot rely on either logic or science, but must fall back on a grab bag of informal methods of reasoning that owe less than one might think to legal training and experience. -- Adapted from Amazon.com summary.
A Systematic View of the Science of Jurisprudence

Book Description
THE systematic study of law is still upon its trial in this country, where the typical barrister is at no pains to conceal his contempt for theory in general and for professors in particulas. It was therefore with some anxiety that we opened a new book upon jurisprudence by a professor of the science. Mr. Amos's work will however, we imagine, do little either to popularize or to retard the study of theoretical law, in the history of which its appearance will certainly not mark an epoch. What Mr. Austin did-forty years ago was really a great achievement. Equipped merely with the philosophy of Bentham, with a few chance remarks of writers like Hobbes and Locke, and a somewhat superficial acquaintance with the German civilians, he resolutely thought out for himself a logical system which, in spite of gaps and roughnesses of execution, must ever have a permanent value. He determined, in many respects once for all, the "Province of Jurisprudenee.". With a firm hand he mapped out its boundaries; and, regardless of strangeness of diction or repetition of argument, he elaborated to over-elaboration certain portions of its contents. The limits of the subject having been thus trenchantly drawn by a thinker whose infinite faculty of taking pains approached, as nearly as such a faculty ever can, to genius, it remained for his successors to cultivate methodically and in detail the field which he had enclosed. After the Province of Jurisprudence, the next desideratum was undoubtedly a "Systematic View" of the science; and with this Mr. Amos undertakes to present us. We cannot say that we think the undertaking has been successful, or that Mr. Amos displays those qualities which are essential to success in such a work. To write a systematic view of anything, it is necessary that the writer should possess a systematic mind, and a power of severely restraining it from wandering into irrelevant topics. Such a power of self-restraint is conspicuously absent from the volume before us, more than one-fourth of which is occupied by chapters upon Public and Private International Law, and upon other matters which have but a faint connexion with the main subject of the work. It was doubtless necessary to explain clearly what is meant by international law, but observations upon the Treaty of Paris, the possibility of arbitration, the Geneva Convention, the effect of modern improvements in warfare, the disabilities of women, the exercise of the prerogative of pardon by the Home Secretary, and the French verdict of extenuating circumstances, have hardly a conceivable place in a Systematic View of Jurisprudence.

The Gift of Science
Author: Roger BERKOWITZPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674020790
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Moving from the scientific revolution to the nineteenth-century rise of legal codes, Berkowitz tells the story of how lawyers and philosophers invented legal science to preserve law's claim to moral authority. The "gift" of science, however, proved bittersweet. Instead of strengthening the bond between law and justice, the subordination of law to science transformed law from an ethical order into a tool for social and economic ends.
