Its focus is on an examination of relevant case law. The book is divided into three sections: Theory: Some general theories of the relation between law and morality; Method: How the law attempts to deal with evolving issues of law and morality using the common law and the ethical and procedural norms of judicial reasoning; Practice: A survey of topics where case law is seen as a response to controversial moral conflicts that arise within American culture and social life." -- back cover. |
