'This is the most interesting collection I have read on the rule of law in a while. It covers the usual rule of law themes, but goes beyond that to include a broad and diverse range of additional topics and perspectives. The essays are sophisticated and engaging, written by knowledgeable authors, taking up historical as well as contemporary issues. This is well worth reading.'--Brian Tamanaha, Washington University, School of Law, US'This excellent compilation provides a comprehensive inquiry into the rule of law in the contemporary times. May and Winchester have produced the reference for anyone interested in understanding the complex workings and multi-dimensional impacts of this ubiquitous term.'--Susanne Soederberg, Queen's University, Canada
