Morrison on Dworkin on the Nature of Law

Andrew Stumpff Morrison (University of Michigan Law School; University of Alabama Law School) has posted The Uncertain Relation between Coherence and Renown: Ronald Dworkin Reconsidered on SSRN. Here is the abstract:

The article presents a critical reassessment of the legal philosophical writings of Ronald Dworkin. Relying in part upon the author’s previous argument that law is – contra the recent near-consensus – best understood as “the command of the sovereign, backed by force,” the author identifies fundamental difficulties, and ultimately incoherency, in Dworkin’s work.
