Book review: Law, virtue and justice

The concept of virtue is central in both contemporary ethics and epistemology, yet in law there has only recently been an interest in virtue theory among legal scholars. Law, Virtue and Justice is a collection of essays examining the role of virtue in general jurisprudence as well as in specific areas of the law, with chapters on philosophical aspects and the relevance of empathy to our understanding of justice and legal morality. This collection moves current discussions forward and is sure to be a valuable resource for legal scholars and practitioners for years to come, writes Mark D. White.
