Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
Abstract
The article argues that the legal system should not be based on morality but rather on rules designed to protect individual freedoms and ensure fairness. It critiques Thane Rosenbaum's view that the legal system should prioritize morality, asserting that such an approach could lead to the imposition of a single moral code, undermining diversity and leading to potential inconsistencies and biases.
