| Publisher Description: In this unorthodox but highly informative work, MacNeil examines the leading issues of legal philosophy in the unlikeliest of sources: popular culture. Searching for the hidden philosophical meaning in various works of popular culture, from Tolkien and Harry Potter to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Million Dollar Baby, this book removes jurisprudence from the legal experts in order to restore it to the public at large: a lex populi by and for the people. |
