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. 410 0$aLegal theory today. 606 $aSocial systems 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 606 $2Jurisprudence & philosophy of law 615 0$aSocial systems. 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 676 $a340.115 700 $aNobles$b Richard$0478024 702 $aSchiff$b David$csenior lecturer in law, 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786957103321 996 $aObserving law through systems theory$93755652 997 $aUNINA
