Robert M. Cover examines the profound moral dilemma faced by American judges during the antebellum period when forced to enforce the Fugitive Slave Acts. By analyzing the tension between personal conscience and the formal requirements of legal positivism, the text explores how jurists navigated the conflict between their private antislavery convictions and their professional obligations to uphold established law.
