Lawyers and the Rule of Law Habitual Ethics?
Sylvie Delacroix, University of Birmingham, UK This book develops an in-depth account of habit in order to understand its impact upon the way moral decisions are made in a professional context. The book calls for renewed attention to be paid to habits and their relationship to ethical agency. Mostly neglected in moral and legal theory, such an inquiry not only conditions an adequate understanding of the risks inherent in a legal system’s institutional structure; it is also essential if we are to come to grips with the challenges raised by the profession's growing reliance upon automated systems.

Art as an Interface of Law and Justice Affirmation, Disturbance, Disruption
Frans-Willem Korsten, Leiden University, the Netherlands This book looks at how the ‘call for justice’ is portrayed through art and presents texts from film to theatre to essays and novels to interrogate the law. It considers original works of art not dealt with before, including Milo Rau’s The Congo Tribunal, Elfriede Jelinek’s Ulrike Maria Stuart, Valeria Luiselli’s Tell Me How It Ends and George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda. The book demonstrates how through art’s interface, impasses are addressed, new laws are made imaginable, the span of systems of laws is explored, and the differences in what people consider to be just are brought to light.

Andrew Boon, City, University of London, UK This book examines lawyers' historical and contemporary relationship to the rule of law. It does so by identifying a range of rule of law issues confronting society; by illustrating how lawyers interact with them; by examining how legal independent professions support are key to rule of law; and finally by exploring arguments that satisfactory support for the rule of law is available by other means. It considers lawyers' contribution to the growth of constitutionalism, the formulation of roles and identities, the formation of values, and the challenges faced by lawyers and the rule of law in the past 50 years.

Agency, Morality and Law
Joshua Jowitt, Newcastle University, UK This book demonstrates that the normative force of law has a necessary connection to morality in 2 ways. Firstly, a commitment to the concept of moral truths is required; secondly, these moral truths must be identifiable through human reason. The book argues that these conditions are met by Alan Gewirth’s Principle of Generic Consistency, which locates the existence of universally applicable moral norms through a dialectically necessary argument grounded in the truism of noumenal agency. It demonstrates that a universalised instrumental reason serves as an imperative to bind agents to its absolute and exclusionary requirements against potentially non-compliant behaviour.
