Sommario/riassunto

This collection of Mootz's classic essays argues that legal practice is a hermeneutical and rhetorical event that can best be understood and theorized in those terms. Whereas contemporary legal theory is



fragmented, this 'return' to hermeneutics and rhetoric as touchstones for law embraces dynamic traditions and provides the resources for theorists who seek to foster persuasion and understanding as an antidote to the emerging global order and the trend toward bureaucratization.
