The law sometimes requires judges to reach results that they consider unjust. Most people assume that judges have a moral obligation to apply the law correctly in such cases. Jeffrey Brand-Ballard challenges arguments for this view, defending a less restrictive ethics of adjudication that still supports the rule of law.
