How to Do Away With Coercion in the Law

Abstract

The idea of coercion, along with its close synonyms, is conspicuously relied upon in many and diverse legal contexts. There is, however, no reasonably determinate legal understanding of the idea of coercion, either in general, or in any particular legal context. Pursuing the idea of coercion turns out to be vain and affirmatively distracting, but, fortunately, entirely unnecessary as well. This Article develops these themes.
