Document Summary
Chief justice cook had a battle with king james (1688) This is when the chief justice cook speaking to the king, telling him that he disagrees. He says that he is created, however the king has not studied the law and therefore the lawyers should make the judgement. The king was greatly offended, except cook continued to say that they have created artificial reasoning. Set up a community that defends themselves. It is all done using a certain language. Argument is always what are the similarities? are the similarities. Navigating the levels of abstraction to find agreement. Law as integrity the law works if you can see the judge as hercules; he can see all of law as once and sees it as perfect and in unity. Law masquerades other social forces: economic forces, racial and gender biases. Law is a terrible predictor or legal outcomes. There are other things that predict legal outcomes rather than the law itself.
