Abstract

As follows from the Rule of Law, the judge has to justify her
decision. In contemporary legal and social theory, it is argued
that she should somehow give recognition to arguments and
viewpoints that have been excluded from the final decision. In
my paper, I will address the question why, to what extent and
in what way the judge has to give recognition to the
arguments and viewpoints that she has excluded from her
decision.
