The Timing of Lawmaking
 |
| Anteprima |
Legal
reasoning, pronouncements of judgment, the design and implementation of
statutes, and even constitution-making and discourse all depend on
timing. This compelling study examines the diverse interactions between
law and time, and provides important perspectives on how law's
architecture can be understood through time. The book revisits older
work on legal transitions and breaks new ground on timing rules,
especially with respect to how judges, legislators and regulators use
time as a tool when devising new rules. At its core, The Timing of
Lawmaking goes directly to the heart of the most basic of legal debates:
when should we respect the past, and when should we make a clean break
for the future?
