In Appeal to the People's Court: Rethinking Law, Judging, and
Punishment, Vincent Luizzi turns to the goings on in courts at the
lowest level of adjudication for fresh insights for rethinking
these basic features of the legal order. In the pragmatic tradition
of turning from fixed and unchanging conceptions, the work rejects
the view of law as a set of black and white rules, of judging as
the mechanical application of law to facts, and of punishment as a
necessary, punitive response to crime. The author, a municipal
judge and philosophy professor, joins theory and practice to
feature the citizen in rethinking these institutions. The work
includes a foreword by Richard Hull, special Guest Editor for this
volume in Studies in Jurisprudence.
