These essays, written by an international authority on the legal protection of privacy, cover a wide range of topics and asks are judges morally accountable for their decisions, do animals have rights, is legal validity value free? The author discusses the moral problems that pervade the legal system and shows how the protection of private rights has an inescapable legal dimension, especially in our "surveillance society," where personal information is continually gathered, stored and transmitted.
