This collection of essays is the outcome of a workshop with
Scott Shapiro on The Planning Theory of Law that took place in
December 2009 at Bocconi University. It brings together a group of
scholars who wrote their contributions to the workshop on a
preliminary draft of Shapiro's "Legality." Then, after the
workshop, they wrote their final essays on the published version of
the book. The contributions clearly highlight the difference of the
continental and civil law perspective from the common law
background of Shapiro but at the same time the volume tries to
bridge the gap between the two. The essays provide a critical
reading of the planning theory of law, highlighting its merits on
the one hand and objecting to some parts of it on the other hand.
Each contribution discusses in detail a chapter of Shapiro's book
and together they cover the whole of Shapiro's theory. So the book
presents a balanced and insightful discussion of the arguments of
"Legality."
