Exploring Laws Empire is a collection of essays by leading legal theorists and philosophers who have been invited to develop, defend, or critique Ronald Dworkins controversial and exciting jurisprudence. The volume explores Dworkins critique of legal positivism, his theory of law as integrity, and his writings on constitutional jurisprudence. Each essay is a cutting-edge contribution to its field of inquiry, the highlights of which include an introduction by Justice Stephen Breyer of the United States Supreme Court, and a concluding essay by Dworkin himself. This final chapter responds to the preceding essays and lays out Dworkins own vision for the future of jurisprdence over the coming years.

Readership: Scholars, academics, and postgraduate students of jurisprudence, and philosophers.
