Reviews
'The significance and originality of the work lies in the success of Sorabji's jurisprudential project - to place the reforms of Woolf and Jackson in the wider context of theories of justice and, in particular, to identify structural similarities between Lord Woolf's vision and the prescient writings of Jeremy Bentham.' Richard Susskind, The Times
'... a polished, sophisticated, challenging, and important study. It will enrich all courses on civil justice where the professor or student dares to ask: 'what are these rules for; and how should they be implemented?'.' Neil Andrews, International Journal of Procedural Law
