Although its concern is jurisprudence, The Tapestry of the Law is
intended to offer neither an original theory of or about law nor an
account of other people's theories in textbook form. It is, rather,
an attempt to approach the subject without following either of
these conventions. The reasons are as follows. Those engaged in
legal theory are prone to assert that one cannot properly
understand the law unless one takes a jurisprudential approach -
preferably their own - to it. Equally, those engaged in exposition
of the law may counter that legal theory fails to pay adequate
attention to actual law. There is at least some truth in these
claims. Analyses, courses and textbooks on both sides do often seem
to be produced without reference to the other. Yet such isolation
is probably more apparent than real. Most, if not all, so-called
"black letter" lawyers do operate on the basis of certain
jurisprudential understandings, even if these are not articulated
ones. In the frequently quoted words ofF C S Northrop: There are
lawyers, judges and even law professors who tell us they have no
legal philosophy.
