L'idée de codification, dont l'histoire s'étend sur deux millénaires, ressurgit aujourd'hui en pleine actualité après avoir connu dans le passé des alternances de rayonnement et d'éclipse. Elle se trouve en effet projetée au cœur de l'organisation de l'état de droit et de l'effort de rationalisation de la réglementation si abondante et si touffue de la société moderne. Mais la méthode de codification suppose des choix qui divisent auteurs et praticiens du travail législatif : convient-il de s'en tenir à une codification-compilation, dite à droit constant, ou faut-il, à la faveur de cette entreprise, réformer et simplifier un droit devenu trop complexe ? De nombreux exemples illustrent ce dilemme.Aussi parait-il aléatoire de prédire l'avenir de la codification, tant elle semble tributaire, comme le passé l'a montré, d'une volonté politique ferme et d'une conscience claire des objectifs à atteindre.

In the collected essays here, Schlag established himself as one of the most creative thinkers in the contemporary legal academy. To read them one after another is exhilarating; Schlag's sophistication shines through. In chapter after chapter he tackles the most vexing problems of law and legal thinking, but at the heart of his concern is the questions of normativity and the normative claims made by legal scholars. He revisits legal realism, eenergizes it, and brings readers face-to-face with the central issues confronting law at the end of the 20th century.--Choice, May 1997 Pierre Schlag is the great iconoclast of the American legal academy. Few law professors today are so consistently original, funny, and provocative. But behind his playful manner is a serious goal: bringing the study of law into the late modern/ postmodern age. Reading these essays is like watching a one-man truth squad taking on all of the trends and movements of contemporary jurisprudence. All one can say to the latter is, better take cover.--J. M. Balkin, Lafayette S. Foster Professor, Yale Law School At a time when complaints are heard everywhere about the excesses of lawyers, judges, and law itself, Pierre Schlag focuses attention on the American legal mind and its urge to lay down the law. For Schlag, legalism is a way of thinking that extends far beyond the customary official precincts of the law. His work prompts us to move beyond the facile self- congratulatory self-representations of the law so that we might think critically about its identity, effects, and limitations. In this way, Schlag leads us to rethink the identities and character of moral and political values in contemporary discourse. The book brings into question the dominant normative orientation that shapes so much academic thought in law and in the humanities and social sciences. By pulling the curtain on the rhetorical techniques by which the law represents itself as coherent, rational, and stable, Laying Down the Law discloses the grandiose (and largely futile) attempts of American academics to control social and political meaning by means of scholarly missives.
