Review Quotes: 'Legisprudence mainly focuses on pragmatic efforts aimed at improving the quality of legislation. The merit of this book is to highlight theoretical aspects and critical reflections. It furthers a deeper understanding of legislation and helps to develop legisprudence as a comprehensive approach to the legislative phenomenon.' Luzius Mader, Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration, Switzerland. 'For too long now, the field of jurisprudence has focused almost exclusively on the judge, inadvertently creating the false impression that processes of interpretation are all that matter in the law. The authors of this volume show how rewarding it is to focus on legislation and on alternative forms of regulation to correct this imbalance; I have found many stimulating thoughts in its pages.' Willem J. Witteveen, Tilburg University
