[The books is] sure to be a valuable resource for legal scholars and practitioners for years to come.
- Mark D. White, LSE Review of Books
As a collection, this is a highly informative, always interesting and richly diversified body of research, engaged with vital questions especially of criminal law, but also of many other areas in ethics and law, including client confidentiality, legal moralism and paternalism. It also includes an instructive comparison between western and Confucian theories in this area of jurisprudence. Many concrete issues and controversies are discussed and illustrated with real and imaginary cases, such as euthanasia, prostitution and racial and sex discrimination. Overall, whether one is convinced or not, the project of developing the case for virtue jurisprudence is well served by this book.
- Mark Tebbit, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
... an impressive array of moral and legal philosophers, including those informed by both the (still dominant) Aristotelian approach to the virtues as well as the (less acknowledged, but possibly growing in influence) Confucian approach. Individual chapters are cross-referenced, and there are a number of helpful commentaries on leading contributions. The editors should be praised for both their vision and their efforts in presenting such a harmonious package of papers.
- Maksymilian Del Mar, Jurisprudence, Volume 5, issue 1
This was a fascinating book to read, and I can hardly do justice to all of its arguments here. For those who work in philosophy of law as well as virtue ethics, this is a worthwhile collection of complex essays. Overall the book makes a valuable contribution to a virtue-oriented approach to legal theory.
- Jason Cruze, Journal of Moral Philosophy

This book explores the relevance of virtue theory to law from a variety of perspectives.
The essays examine the role of virtue in general jurisprudence as well as in specific areas of the law.
The contributions are written by international experts in the field.
Stimulating works that address fundamental issues in legal philosophy.
The intention of this series is that it should encompass monographs and collections of essays that address the fundamental issues in legal philosophy. The foci are conceptual and normative in character, not empirical. Studies addressing the idea of law as a species of practical reason are especially welcome. Recognizing that there is no occasion to sharply distinguish analytic and systematic work in the field from historico-critical research, the editors also welcome studies in the history of legal philosophy. Contributions to the series, inevitably crossing disciplinary lines, will be of interest to students and professionals in moral, political, and legal philosophy.
