The rule of law

The book is based on the idea that the rule of law is not an abstract legal concept, or a mere idea, but the foundation upon which a society of justice and fairness is built. It consists of three parts. In the first part, it discusses the nature of the rule of law for us in Britain, and other liberal democracies, and the reason for its importance, which is that all individuals and institutions within the state, whether public or private, must adhere to the law, and have the right to enjoy laws issued publicly.
