Law and Truth
Starting from the question 'what is legal knowledge?', Patterson examines the answers provided by the principal contemporary theories of jurisprudence, and concludes that they are all bound up with the nature of justification.
Minds, Brains, and Law
Pardo and Patterson assess the philosophical questions that arise when neuroscientific research and technology are applied in the legal system. It examines the arguments favouring the increased use of neuroscience in law, the means for assessing its reliability in legal proceedings, and the integration of neuroscientific research into substantive legal doctrines. The book uses its explorations to inform a corrective inquiry into the mistaken inferences and conceptual errors that arise from mismatched concepts, such as the mental disconnect of what constitutes 'lying' on a lie detection test.

Ideal for undergraduates, it engages their curiosity about the law without sacrificing philosophical content. The authors emphasize a command of legal concepts and doctrine as a prelude to philosophical analysis. Designed to acquaint students with the fundamentals of jurisprudence and legal theory, Part I of the book includes readings from influential philosophers representing eight different types of jurisprudence: natural law theory, positivism, constructivism, conseq...
Postmodernism and Law
Part of a series on law and legal theory, this volume argues that postmodernist jurisprudence offers a new concept of legal justification. It considers that while legal practices may look similar to those of 50 years ago, the grounds for these practices have, in fact, changed.
