  • Do Judges Play by the Rules? - A Reply to ''Playing by The Rules''


    Jurisprudence and legal interpretation are two themes that are dear to me. As such, I was quite ecstatic  when I received a copy of a book chapter titled: "Playing by the rules: the search for legal grounds in homosexuality cases - Indonesia, Lebanon, Egypt, Senegal" from Sam Ardi last week, especially because the front page mentions the terms "positivist" and "realism" in law and the chapter itself seems to discuss the role of interpretation in dealing with concrete legal problems. While the paper is indeed interesting and informative for a descriptive work on how different jurisdictions interpret their laws on homosexuality cases, I find that the core analysis lacks a coherent theme from jurisprudential and social science perspectives and this will be the focus of my comments today.
