The common law -- The source-based argument for the judicial obligation to apply the law -- The conceptual argument for the judicial obligation to apply the law -- The source-based argument for the judicial obligation to develop the law : part I (England) -- The source-based argument for the judicial obligation to develop the law : part II (United States) -- The conceptual argument for the judicial obligation to develop the law -- Common law review -- Common law review in two common law systems
With keen insight into the common law mind, Edlin argues that there are rich resources within the law for judges to ground their opposition to morally outrageous laws, and a legal obligation on them to overturn it, consequent on the general common law obligation to develop the law. Thus, seriously unjust laws pose for common law judges a dilemma within the law, not just a moral challenge to the law, a conflict of obligations, not just a crisis of conscience. While rooted firmly in the history of common law jurisprudence, Edlin offers an entirely fresh perspective on an age-old jurisprudential conundrum
