Abstract
Law's Empire will shape jurisprudence by its admirably resourceful attention to understanding a community's law internally. It promotes reflective understanding of practical argumentation constitutive of attitude in which that law subsists. But book neglects some of practical understanding's resources of political and moral theory, and overestimates practical reasoning's power to identify options as best and right. Interpretation according to Ronald Dworkin is to be understood on model of purpose, practical reasoning, and intention. This understanding lends power and illumination to his account of interpretative attitude and its role in and in relation to law. Law's Empire concludes that the only skepticism worth anything is skepticism of internal kind. In Law's Empire, Dworkin abandons simple picture of a lexical ordering between dimensions of fit and soundness. He stresses that within second dimension questions of fit surface again, because an interpretation is pro tanto more satisfactory if it shows less damage to integrity than its rival.
