Summary
""Against the Law" is must reading, especially for those who believe that Law does or can embody Reason and Morality. Campos, Schlag, and Smith, ever the iconoclasts, raise profound questions about both the truth of these claims and their meaning. All legal theorists will benefit from the encounter with this highly intelligent, quite original, and unflinchingly skeptical work."--Larry Alexander, University of San Diego School of Law
