Llewellyn was one of the founders and major figures of legal realism, and his many keen insights have a central place in American law and legal understanding. Key to Llewellyn's thinking was his conception of rules, put forward in his numerous writings and most famously in his often mischaracterized declaration that they are "pretty playthings." Previously unpublished, The Theory of Rules is the most cogent presentation of his profound and insightful thinking about the life of rules. This book frames the development of Llewellyn's thinking and describes the difference between what rules literally prescribe and what is actually done, with the gap explained by a complex array of practices, conventions, professional skills, and idiosyncrasies, most of which are devoted to achieving a law's larger purpose rather than merely following the letter of a particular rule. Edited, annotated, and with an extensive analytic introduction by leading contemporary legal scholar Frederick Schauer, this rediscovered work contains material not found elsewhere in Llewellyn's writings and will prove a valuable contribution to the existing literature on legal realism. 606 $aLaw$xDecision making$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw$xMethodology 606 $aDecision making$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw$xDecision making$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw$xMethodology. 615 0$aDecision making$xPhilosophy. 676 $a340/.11 700 $aLlewellyn$b Karl N$g(Karl Nickerson),$f1893-1962.$0227440 701 $aSchauer$b Frederick F$0263007 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457251803321 996 $aThe theory of rules$92259959 997 $aUNINA
