This book gathers together leading voices in virtue theory-an
increasingly influential aspect of legal theory in the 21st
century-to take stock of virtue jurisprudence's evolution and
suggest ways in which this approach can be further developed. The
contributions address the three main axes along which virtue
jurisprudence has unfolded in the past decades: the quest to
provide a suitable virtue-based foundation for the law (in general)
or for some aspects of it (in particular, but not exclusively,
criminal law); the investigation of the role played by character
traits in legal decision-making; and the investigation of how the
law can be part of a virtuous life. As will become apparent for
readers of this volume, those lines are converging and, as they do
so, a general virtue-based approach to the study of law is starting
to emerge. Crucial in addressing problems with legal experience for
which the resources of traditional legal theory are insufficient,
this book's investigation of virtue theory and virtue jurisprudence
will be of interest to all of those studying legal decision-making
and the philosophy of law, as well as those studying virtue ethics
more widely. It was originally published as a special issue of
Jurisprudence.
