Routledge Kangaroo Courts and the Rule of Law - Legal Theory

Kangaroo Courts and the Rule of Law: The Legacy of Modernism explores the deep connection between contemporary critiques of language and the fundamental concept of the rule of law. For too long, a gap has existed between legal practitioners and contemporary legal theorists. This book aims to bridge that divide by addressing the dialogue that has previously been impossible to sustain. Author Desmond Manderson accepts the intellectual challenge posed by modern critiques of linguistic meaning and legal certainty. Rather than dismissing these perspectives, the text treats them as vital contributions to legal thought. This work examines whether the rule of law can be re-configured to account for the critical turn in modern theory. It is a necessary read for those interested in how language affects legal stability and the future of legal frameworks.
