Review of Two Books: One on, One by Dworkin

This may interest students of jurisprudence:  the penultimate draft of the review (which will appear in the Times Literary Supplement) is here.  The books discussed are Dworkin’s recent collection Justice in Robes (Harvard University Press, 2006) and Scott Hershovitz (ed.), Exploring Law’s Empire (Oxford University Press, 2006).  I was operating, needless to say, under a word limit!

UPDATE:  One can’t include acknowledgments in these short review essays, but I can include them here:  so let me thank Leslie Green, Adam Samaha, Scott Shapiro, Galen Strawson, and Cass Sunstein for being kind enough to give me quick and quite helpful feedback on an earlier draft.
