Reviews / Votes
`a helpful and perceptive contribution to the debate' Graham Hughes, New York University Law School `The whole book is marked by the familiar characteristics of Greenawalt's writings: clear and thought-provoking examples; a manifest desire to dispel confusion even at the risk of being considered excessively prosaic; and a large amount of good sense.'Times Higher Education Supplement 'Greenawalt is reliably clear and interesting on most of these topics; the first section, in particular, provides a nice summary and critique of the debate around indeterminacy, one that will prove useful to many students.'
Leslie Green, York University, Toronto, American Political Science Review, Vol. 88, No. 1, March 1994 `Greenawalt is reliably clear and interesting ... No doubt, when the objectivity of law is praised or criticized, all sorts of things might be in issue; and this clearly written and accessible text touches on most of t hem.'
