Ebook: Rule of Law, Justice, and Interpretation

In The Rule of Law, Justice, and Interpretation Luc Tremblay analyses and refutes the positivist legal theory that prevails in Canadian constitutional practice. Using the techniques of critical theory, hermeneutic interpretation, and analytical jurisprudence he shows that the dominant interpretations of the central legal doctrines of the rule of law and the sovereignty of Parliament are incoherent. The analysis opens the way for the construction of a bold alternative theory of legal discourse and practice based on the concept of the rule of law itself.
