I respond to Nigel Simmonds’ book Law as a Moral Idea (2008) by asking four questions, and offering tentative answers to them: Is politics a moral idea? Is there any such thing as law making? Is there a right answer to every legal dispute? What justifies a judicial decision? The theme of this exercise is that Simmonds is right to call law a ‘moral idea’, and that implies a connection between law and a moral ideal; but there is also a necessary connection between law and the morally non-ideal.
