Sumario:This book brings together contributions from leading figures in legal studies on analogy and related forms of reasoning in the law. Analogical reasoning-which relies on the concept of two different things being in some way like each other-is hugely important not just in the practice of law, but it is nonetheless strongly contested.

Is analogy really different from extensive interpretation, reasoning by precedent and appeal to paradigm?
