What is a right? It seems to me that the way the word is typically used signifies an entitlement an individual person has. An entitlement, that is something that is due to me. So, there seems to be in the notion of the ‘right’ itself an element of justice. This is borne out more clearly
About the Legal Microscope
Here I will examine law under the proverbial microscope.
My approach is be comparative, particularly with a view to putting the United States and the United Kingdom in dialogue.
Besides being comparative, my thinking is interdisciplinary. I make a serious and critical use of philosophy, which enriches my discussion of law. For, indeed, justice cannot exist without wisdom.
My main interest is the constitution, though I will, of course, discuss other areas too. That includes, but is not limited to, commercial, contract, and intellectual property law.
