Conundrums, Puzzles, And Perversities: These Are Leo Katzs Stockintrade, And In Why The Law Is So Perverse, He Focuses On Four Fundamental Features Of Our Legal System, All Of Which Seem To Not Make Sense On Some Level And To Demand Explanation. First, Legal Decisions Are Essentially Made In An Either/Or Fashionguilty Or Not Guilty, Liable Or Not Liable, Either Its A Contract Or Its Notbut Reality Is Rarely As Clearcut. Why Arent There Any Inbetween Verdicts? Second, The Law Is Full Of Loopholes. No One Seems To Like Them, But Somehow They Cannot Be Made To Disappear. Why? Third, Legal Systems Are Loath To Punish Certain Kinds Of Highly Immoral Conduct While Prosecuting Other Far Less Pernicious Behaviors. What Makes A Villainy A Felony? Finally, Why Does The Law Often Prohibit What Are Sometimes Called Winwin Transactions, Such As Organ Sales Or Surrogacy Contracts?Katz Asserts That These Perversions Arise Out Of A Cluster Of Logical Difficulties Related To Multicriterial Decision Making. The Discovery Of These Difficulties Dates Back To Condorcets Eighteenthcentury Exploration Of Voting Rules, Which Marked The Beginning Of What We Know Today As Social Choice Theory. Condorcets Voting Cycles, Arrows Theorem, Sens Libertarian Paradoxevery Seeming Perversity Of The Law Turns Out To Be The Counterpart Of One Of The Many Voting Paradoxes That Lie At The Heart Of Social Choice. Katzs Lucid Explanations And Apt Examples Show Why They Resist Any Easy Resolutions.The New York Times Book Review Called Katzs First Book A Fascinating Romp Through The Philosophical Side Of The Law. Why The Law Is So Perverse Is Sure To Provide Its Readers A Similar Experience.
