MAGIC WORDS
Law professor Ronald Dworkin suggests that jurisprudence relies
upon "the faculty of making clear what was dark without making it dull."
"[C]larity enhances rather than disspates the power of an idea. That is
magic, and it is the magic that jurisprudence needs to work."15
In Literature:
• "'Jurisprudence!'" exclaimed the thick voice of the public prosecutor, who
was aroused from his stupor by this magic word; 'let us talk jurisprudence.'"
