Books in the European Academy of Legal Theory Series series

This short book on comparative law theory and method is designed primarily for postgraduate research students whose work involves comparison between legal systems.

Although coherence theories of law and adjudication have, recently, been extremely influential in legal scholarship and have significantly advanced the case for coherentism in law, a number of problems remain. This, the first concerted attempt to develop a coherence-based theory of legal reasoning, addresses, or at least mitigates these problems.

This book questions critically, in novel ways and from various perspectives, the possibilities of objectivity of legal theory in the 21st century.

This book sets the significance of moral conflict as a core concern for contemporary theorising about law and legal reasoning.

This book argues that our conception of the legal system should be based on a pluralist and communicative approach.
