inlawrev-3575	Cox, Paul N.	An Interpretation and (Partial) Defense of Legal Formalism	2003	44	.pdf	application/pdf	23998	1255	53	A more moderate version of the criticism is that only narrow concepts drawn at lower levels of abstraction can be serviceable for formalist law. It does so, in realist fashion, by contending that the purposes of the bargain principle are better served by expanding or ignoring it, or by contending that the harms generated by inducing reliance are worthy of legal protection^^ At one level of analysis this example illustrates the distinction between a rigid deduction of legal result from abstract concept in formalist law and the treatment of law as a purposive instrument for achieving ends (for example, the end ofencouraging exchange) in realist and post-realist law.	cache/inlawrev-3575.pdf	txt/inlawrev-3575.txt
