Grounding the Rule of Law

Ratio Juris 2 (1):1-16 (1989)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Although the concept of Rule of Law has been revived and developed vigorously by mid‐twentieth century conservative political theorists, contemporary legal positivists have not been impressed. The author reviews this confrontation, outlines the logic for a strong theory of Rule of Law, and surveys the leading attempts to provide compelling grounds for such a theory.
