A study of major philosophical accounts of the just uses of the law. These include libertarianism, liberalism, social democracy, republicanism, conservatism and postmodernism. These accounts are used to explore three legal debates of current interest, for example, increased penalties for hate crimes, alternative sentencing, physician-assisted suicide, the legal standing of animals and the environment, gay marriage, faith-based initiatives, and the rights of the disabled.
