The principles of social order Book

Lon Fuller coined the term "eunomics" for "the study of good order and workable social arrangements." The essays in this volume--representing most of the work of his mature years--are his "exercises in eunomics." They are studies of the principal forms of legal order, including contract, adjudication, mediation, legislation, and administration. In addition, the volume includes several essays on legal education and the ethics of lawyering. The volume also includes a lecture on freedom published here for the first time, in which Fuller develops the idea that the forms of legal order are the diverse vehicles by which freedom is effectively exercised in society.
