Taking up a single question--"What does it mean to say a
proposition of law is true?"--this book advances a major new
account of truth in law. Drawing upon the later philosophy of
Wittgenstein, as well as more recent postmodern theory of the
relationship between language, meaning, and the world, Patterson
examines leading contemporary jurisprudential approaches to this
question and finds them flawed in similar and previously unnoticed
ways. He offers a powerful alternative account of legal
justification, one in which linguistic practice--the use of forms
of legal argument--holds the key to legal meaning.
