- The chapters are written by some of the foremost specialists in their areas of contribution
- Includes a foreword by the Honourable Justice Edwin Cameron
The late Jim Harris' theory of the science of law, and his theoretical work on human rights and property, have been a challenge and stimulus to legal scholars for the past twenty-five years. This collection of essays, originally conceived as a festschrift and now offered to the memory of a greatly admired scholar, assesses Harris' contribution across many fields of law and legal philosophy. The chapters are written by some of the foremost specialists writing today, and reflect the wide range of Harris's work, and the depth of his influence on legal studies. They include contributions on topics as diverse as the nature of law and legal reasoning, rival
theories of property rights and their impact on practical questions before the courts; the nature of precedent in legal argument; and the evolving concept of human rights and its place in legal discourse.
With a foreword by the Honourable Justice Edwin Cameron, this volume celebrates the life and work of Jim HarrisReadership: Academic, scholars, and research students in legal philosophy, jurisprudence, property law, and human rights.
