Collected Essays in Law makes available some of the most important work of scholars who have made a major contribution to the study of law. Each volume brings together a selection of writings by a leading authority on a particular subject. The series gives authors an opportunity to present and comment on what they regard as their most important work in a specific area. Within their chosen subject area, the collections aim to give a comprehensive coverage of the authors research. Care is taken to include essays and articles which are less readily accessible and to give the reader a picture of the development of the authors work and an indication of research in progress.
The initial volumes in the series include collections by Professors Frederick Schauer (Harvard), Constitutional Interpretation, John Braithwaite (ANU), Regulation, Crime and Freedom, Tom Morawetz, Laws Premises, Laws Promise, Robert Summers (Cornell), Laws Form and Substance, and Larry Alexander (San Diego), Legal Rules and Legal Reasoning. These collections set a high standard for future volumes in the series and I am most grateful to all of these distinguished authors for being in at the start of what it is hoped will become a rich and varied repository of the achievements of contemporary legal scholarship
William Twining was born in East Africa. He has taught in Sudan, Tanzania, Northern Ireland, and the United States as well as in England. He is Research Professor of Law at University College London (UCL), having been Quain Professor of Jurisprudence from 1983 to 1996. He writes from personal knowledge of the main subjects of these essays: Herbert Hart first aroused his enthusiasm for Jurisprudence; he was also taught by Karl Llewellyn whose papers he put in order, subsequently writing his intellectual biography. At UCL Ronald Dworkin is a colleague and Jeremy Bentham a brooding omnipresence. His other interests include evidence, law and development, and legal education. He rejects sharp distinctions between theory and practice. He loves teaching, writing, and travelling and believes that good stories are enjoyable, necessary and dangerous.
