      abstract = {"This book uses Niklas Luhmann's systems theory to explore  how the legal system operates as one of modern society's  subsystems. The authors demonstrate how this theory alters  our understanding of some of the most important and  controversial issues within law: the nature of judicial  communication and legal argument; the claim that it can be  right to disobey law; the character of legal pluralism and  globalisation; time and its construction within law; the  significance of the rule of law and human rights and the  role of appeals to, and within, law."--Back cover.},
