Talk:Legal formalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It says "...in order to assure that the law serves good public policy and social interests." I'd have expected it to say "...in order to assure that the law serves justice." Am I naive in that regard? Michael Hardy 17:10, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Also, this entry needs to be expanded. There should be discussion of original meaning & textualism, also need more on criticisms of legal formalism. User:Lsolum

[edit] Too contrastual

Nearly half of this article is actually about Legal Realism. Why not, instead of teaching by comparison, we let them know exactly what Legal Formalism is?
