"Maksymilian Del Mar and William Twining have produced a superb collection of 19 essays on legal fictions. ... the collection holds together very well and the overall result is a rich and sophisticated exploration of the topic. ... There is much to be learned from thinking about legal fictions, and this collection goes a long way toward plumbing these insights." (Brian Tamanaha, Jotwell, juris.jotwell.com, September, 2015)
