Readers will be challenged to understand the nature of contemporary family law and its possible future direction. In Scotland, uniquely in Europe, there is to be found a fusion of the civil law and the common law. Timothy A. O. Endicott Vagueness in law leads to indeterminacies in legal rights and obligations in many cases. The book defends that claim and explains its implications for legal theory. Vague language is the book's focus, but vagueness is not merely a linguistic feature of law.
Law is necessarily vague.
That fact seems to threaten the coherence of the ideal of the rule of law. The book defends a new, coherent articulation of that ideal. Oxford disclaims any responsibility for the materials contained in any web site linked to this site.
