This is achieved through careful analysis of relevant legislation and judicial decisions, especially those of the UK's Supreme Court. Questions are addressed concerning the criteria law makers rely on - or should rely on - to determine what is fair in any given circumstances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book explains that laws could be greatly improved if more attention were paid to making their application fairer. It argues that legislation should routinely provide judges with extensive guidance on how to go about deciding whether a position is fair. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is of value to anyone thinking of undertaking a law degree or in the early stages of their legal studies. While it touches upon John Rawls's theory of 'justice as fairness', the emphasis throughout remains on the workability of legal rules in practice. It equips readers with a greater understanding of how challenging it can be to implement rules appropriately unless a clear focus on fairness is resolutely maintained.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrice Dickson \u003c\/b\u003eis Emeritus Professor of International and Comparative Law at Queen's University Belfast, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 26, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48027688435971,"sku":"9781509989065","price":310.54,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/9310\/7359\/files\/U3DbXY18bD9781509989065.webp?v=1777402245","url":"https:\/\/annizon.com\/en-cn\/products\/key-ideas-in-law-the-concept-of-fairness-paperback","provider":"annizon.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
