The limiting conditions explored in this volume include marking law's relationship to acts of terror, states of emergency, gestures of surrender, payments of reparations, offers of amnesty, and invocations of retroactivity. These essays explore how law is challenged, frayed, and constituted out of contact with conditions that lie at the farthest reaches of its empirical and normative force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together well-established scholars to examine the limits of law, a topic that has been of broad interest since the events of 9\/11 and the responses of U.S. law and policy to those events.

An important collection for everyone interested in contemporary debates in jurisprudence, socio-cultural studies, and political theory, regarding law's reach, coherence, and desirability.\" --Robin West, Georgetown University Law Center\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAustin Sarat is William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Science at Amherst College.
