Abstract
This is a comprehensive review of Jules L. Coleman's The Practice of Principle: In Defence of a Pragmatist Approach to Legal Theory. Though Coleman is principally concerned to defend a methodology for conceptual analysis, he addresses a number of substantive issues along the way, including issues in the theories of law, adjudication, and torts, and his analysis represents the state of the art on each of these issues. Althogh The Practice of Principle breaks significant ground on nearly every issue it touches, I argue that there are problems with many of his substantive and mehtodological claims about conceptual jurisprudence and legal theory-- both with respect to his views about the theory of law and with respect to his views about the theory of torts.
