Reviews
"Leo Katz wisely peppers his puzzles with humor, jokes, miniplays, and thoughtful warnings of difficult passages to come (along with welcome invitations to skip ahead) that temper this otherwise demanding volume and make following the twists and turns of the argument well worth the challenge. And for those for whom puzzling is a pleasure in itself, the book will be a feast." (Boston Globe) "Mr. Katz unravels the logical tangles with clarity, humor and a light touch - a testament to the quality of his writing." (Wall Street Journal) "Why the Law Is So Perverse is a terrific book. It is original in its general conception and creative in all the particularities of its execution. And in bringing the social choice argument to the law and legal problems, Leo Katz has made an important and novel academic contribution." (Bruce Chapman, University of Toronto)"
