The authors demonstrate how this theory alters our understanding of some of the most important and controversial issues within law: the nature of judicial communication and legal argument; the claim that it can be right to disobey law; the character of legal pluralism and globalisation; time and its construction within law; the significance of the rule of law and human rights and the role of appeals to, and within, law."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Legal theory today.Social systemsSociological jurisprudenceJurisprudence & philosophy of lawElectronic books.Social systems.Sociological jurisprudence.340.115Nobles Richard478024Schiff Davidsenior lecturer in law,UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910462978703321Observing law through systems theory2457994UNINA
