This book develops a general, philosophical theory about the nature of law and its relationship with morality. Its central theoretical question is whether, in determining the extent of our legal rights and obligations, judges must appeal to moral principles and values. The author argues that they often do, and develops a philosophical theory which accomodates this fact.
