Legal doctrine-the creation of doctrinal concepts, arguments, and
legal regimes built on the foundation of written law-is the
currency of contemporary law. Yet law students, lawyers, and judges
often take doctrine for granted, without asking even the most basic
questions. How to Do Things with Legal Doctrine is a sweeping and
original study that focuses on how to understand legal doctrine via
a hands-on approach. Taking up the provocative invitations from the
"New Doctrinalists," Pierre Schlag and Amy J. Griffin refine the
conceptual and rhetorical operations legal professionals perform
with doctrine-focusing especially on those difficult moments where
law seems to run out, but legal argument must go on. The authors
make the crucial operations of doctrine explicit, revealing how
they work, and how they shape the law that emerges. How to Do
Things with Legal Doctrine will help all those studying or working
with law to gain a more systematic understanding of the doctrinal
moves many of our best lawyers make intuitively.
