Allowing for Exceptions - Duarte d'Almeida, Luis (Chancellor's Fellow in Law, Chancellor's Fellow in Law, University of Edinburgh)

Within limits, the law allows for exceptions. But how do we draw the line between a rule and its exceptions? This is a long-debated question with important practical consequences, but legal theorists have found it surprisingly difficult to answer. This book tackles this persistent puzzle by offering a new account of exceptions in the law.
