The Politics of Jurisprudence cover

The Politics of Jurisprudence explores what jurisprudence is about, what it seeks to do, how it does it and - most importantly - how its conclusions can be brought to bear on everyday problems of legal practice and major social, moral or political issues. It selects material to illustrate general approaches to legal theory and to explore professional and political uses to which that theory has been put.

"Both a useful introduction for law students and a valuable and provative contribution to scholarship in the field...Cotterrell is one of the rare scholars who can discuss difficult ideas and arguments in a way fully accessible even to those new to theory". * International Journal of Law in Context *
