Except for selections from Dworkin's Taking Rights Seriously and Hart's The Concept of Law, the readings come from various editions of Feinberg and Gross, Readings in The Philosophy of Law. Those that are out of print, I hope to scan and put on the course website for your easy access. You may be interested in buying the most recent edition for easier access to them and for other interesting readings.  You may also consult any general or introductory text in philosophy of law, look at web pages, discussion groups and any other sources you can find dealing with philosophy of law.

Use this list in conjunction with the list of readings in the lectures link. The keys in that link are expanded here. If no book is indicated, the reading is from Feinberg's Philosophy of Law which is on reserve.
