弘儒學長對本書的簡要說明如下(轉貼自:法哲學、生活與實踐)
David Dyzenhaus目前任教於多倫多大學法學院,對於Carl Schmitt與Hans Kelsen有興趣的人應該都有閱讀過他的 Legality and Legitimacy 一書,而工作坊我所要導讀的這一本書,雖然時間較久(2006年出版),但算是他對於緊急狀態中法治理論的闡述。他在書中運用大量的普通法系的法院判決,闡述了為何在緊急狀態中法治仍然有一定的功能與價值!雖然著重在法官的憲政責任(constitutional duty)上,但是他對於立法權與行政權亦有其理論建構之處!書籍其實不是很好念,但卻饒富意涵!歡迎有興趣的朋友一起參加!
- 導讀人:陳弘儒(中研院法研所博士後研究人員)

- 概說:這個工作坊主要目的在於帶領有興趣的學人閱讀David Dyzenhaus在2006年所出版的The Constitution of Law: Legality in a Time of Emergency一書,Dyzenhaus現為加拿大多倫多大學法學院教授,專精法理學與公法議題,本書為其近來討論緊急狀態與法治關係的重要著作。
"A large part of my argument will consist of elaborating the claim that it is important for judges to make their commitments explicit. Only then can we see why it makes sense to say that judges are under a constitutional duty to uphold the rule of law, despite the fact that they might not always be able to fulfill that duty in the face of an executive and legislature determined to operate without the rule of law. Moreover, there is more than a theoretical point riding on the claim that judges should reach their rule-of-law preserving conclusions by articulating fully the theory that sustains those conclusions. As I will show, judges who avoid making their commitments explicit risk lending support to judges in the first category as well as to future legislative and executive departures from the rule of law.” (The Constitution of Law, p. 15)
