Judicial Deviation in Talmudic Law
First Published in 1990. With the publication of this book, the author inaugurates a new series at the Institute of Jewish Law. In recent years there has been a growing interest in Jewish law in American law schools. In turn, this casts an obligation on those involved in Jewish law to make available in the English language publications which focus on contemporary issues and their analysis in traditional Jewish sources.

Is Talmudic Law a Religious Legal System? A Provisional Analysis
The claim that talmudic law is a religious legal system has long been, and continues to be, put forward by both traditional scholars of Jewish law and contemporary academic researchers. The question of whether talmudic law is a religious legal system most certainly did not engage the Sages of the Talmud, but addressing it will help us grasp the nature of talmudic law. Furthermore, juxtaposing talmudic law to Biblical law will help us delineate th…

The purpose of this article is, first, to argue that in the chapter in question, Maimonides does not address the iss…

Contributions range from discussion of the rabbincal court to the doctrine of binding precedent, and from the basis of judicial authority to the legal defence of ignorance of the law

Law and Science — Reflections
The Argument This paper construes various positions in the philosophy of science and the philosophy of law as responses to the problem of underdetermination in science and in law. We begin by drawing a close analogy between the successive approaches to this problem in the two fields. In particular, we stress the analogy between conventionalism as a philosophy of science and legal realism as a philosophy of law, and between Putnam's and Dworkin's …
A Modest Addendum to ‘The Greek Metrological Relief in Oxford’
While attending the International Conference of the Jewish Law Association at Oxford, we had occasion to visit the Ashmolean Museum. We were particularly attracted by the Metrological Relief in the Arundel Marbles collection (pl. xxxv111). Our excitement was fired by our coincidental interest in the significance of measured standards in the formulation of Jewish legal concepts. The Metrological Relief represented an opportunity to illustrate grap…
