A Legal Mind

This book provides profound and fascinating insight into the way lawyers think and about the way others, including philosophers, think about their thinking. It also considers the nature of legal argument and the deployment of logic, reason and rationality in the exercise of that skill. And the extent to which intuition and instinct play a major role in legal analysis and judicial decision making. The philosophical and conceptual nature of law and its intrinsic and empirical beauty and wonder are explored and illustrated in a perceptive and insightful way.
