Rationality in Principle and in Practice
This book seeks to describe methods that are rationally conceived.²
It
describes them mainly in an ideal and normative way. It says how they should
be done in principle. Of course it is possible that in practice, either in general
or in particular cases, it is not possible to follow the ideal way to the fullest
extent. In this case the rational approach is to follow it to the best extent
possible. In other words, best practice then means the best achievable
practice.

The argument that the methods described and prescribed in this book are
rational are presented in another book, Christopher Enright Legal Reasoning.
