Law can be seen to consist of rules, decisions, and a framework of institutions providing a structure that forms the conditions of its existence. This book conducts a philosophical exploration and critique of these conditions: what they are and how they shape our understanding of what constitutes a legal system and the role of justice within it.

Law can be seen to consist not only of rules and decisions, but also of a framework of institutions providing a structure that forms the conditions of its workable existence and acceptance.
