Alessandro Ferrara has raised four sets of issues about the model of legal order I have developed in my earlier writings, issues which, in his view, remain problematic, despite my reply to his earlier comments. Each of these issues leads back, from different perspectives and with different accents, to the key notion of representation. This rejoinder fleshes out more fully how representation sheds light on legal ordering as an authoritative politics of boundaries, exploring points of convergence and divergence with Ferrara’s judgment-centered theory of legal ordering.
