Samuel questions the widely held assumption that to have knowledge of law is simply to have knowledge of rules.

In this volume, he examines what it is to have knowledge of law, embracing not only conceptual foundations and methods used by jurists, but also epistemological schemes employed by social scientists in general, in order to show that such schemes are closely related to those used by lawyers and judges.
