–
Carel Smith’s project challenges the dominant approach in legal theory to frame legal reasoning as a rule-based activity. By mobilizing metaphor theory and speech act theory, he critically examines the role of rules and standards in legal adjudication and exposes the pivotal role of exemplars in legal reasoning, such as subsumption and weighing and balancing.
