Summary
"This book is primarily intended to help law students learn how to make normative arguments about what the law should be when the legal rules are unclear or outdated. This book categorizes the arguments that lawyers use in debates about ambiguous or contested legal questions. It also explains how judges justify their decisions about what the law should be when the case involves competing values and there are plausible arguments on both sides. The goal is to provide law students a toolkit to help them engage in reasoned arguments about what the law should be"-- Provided by publisher.
