Why do millions of strangers obey words written by people they will never meet? This course starts with that puzzle and the old quarrel it sparked between natural lawyers, who tie law to justice, and positivists, who say a law can exist and still be wicked.

From there it gets concrete: what Dicey meant by equality before the law, why a judge in Paris works differently from one in London, how habeas corpus keeps a jailer honest, and what research says about why people actually follow the rules. You come away able to read a news story about a court ruling and know what is really at stake.
