This book is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of legal obligation, drawing together world-class scholars who have dedicated their careers to studying this critical area of law. It addresses key dimensions of the current debate on legal obligation, offering novel insights and perspectives while critically discussing the leading theories of legal obligation.

The notion of legal obligation is widely regarded as fundamental by both legal practitioners and legal theorists. The language that explicitly refers to obligation is pervasive in legal materials, as paradigmatic legal materials make reference to obligation either directly, by specifying what a subject is obligated to do, or indirectly, by attributing rights, privileges, powers, permissions, and other normative statuses to both single individuals and groups. There is broad agreement that obligation constitutes a central element in legal studies.

At the same time, there is considerable disagreement among contemporary legal theorists about how legal obligation can or should be elucidated. This book accounts for both the significance of obligation in law and the variety of views of legal obligation championed in legal philosophy today.

With contributions from renowned theorists, this book will be invaluable for scholars and students of legal theory, legal philosophy, and jurisprudence.
