Law and Philosophy

Current Legal Issues , like its sister volume Current Legal Problems , is based upon an annual colloquium held at University College London. Each year, leading scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloquium examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and analyses points of controversy in the use, and abuse, of extra-legal arguments within legal theory and practice. Law and Philosophy , the latest volume in the Current Legal Issues series, contains a broad range of essays by scholars interested in the interactions between law and philosophy. It includes studies examining the themes of the nature of law; and interactions between State, the citizen, and the law.

Michael Freeman is Professor of English Law at University College London; he is the series editor for Current Legal Issues.
Ross Harrison is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge.
