This volume examines the concept of the rule of law, arguing that the principles it identifies provide the foundations of a liberal democratic legal order. It explains the essential connections between a range of matters fundamental to the relationship between citizen and state, including freedom of speech, civil disobediance, procedural fairness, and administrative justice. " Constitutional Justice is a work that faithfully carries on the grand tradition of normative legal thought. No small task, and Allan succeeds admirably."-- Law and Politics Book Review Trevor Allan is Reader in Legal and Constitutional Theory at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge. He is the Author of `Law, Liberty, and Justice' (OUP 1993).
