In this book, a group of perceptive judges, professors, and one full-time defense attorney critically examine Hart's ideas in light of current legal developments. That is what ties this excellent collection of essay's together. But each contributor writes about whatever aspects of our criminal justice currently interest him. That is all to the good...this is a thought-provoking collection of essays dealing with a variety of current issues in criminal justice. I highly recommend it. -- David B. Smith, The Champion
