• Rousseau in Dworkin: Judicial Rulings as Expressions of the General Will
    Richard Nordahl
    Legal Theory 3 (4): 317-346. 1997.
    In the course of discussing his conception of community, Ronald Dworkin refers favorably, though in passing and rather elliptically, to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his concept of the general will. Dworkin suggests important similarities exist between Rousseau's “general will” and Dworkin's own understanding of community and his related theory of “law as integrity.”
