Abstract

I am very grateful to Naomi Mezey, John Mikhail and Robin West for their thought-provoking comments on my paper. Since each of the comments has a different orientation, this reply will address them in turn, but picking up especially one theme – the place (or absence) of power in my picture of law’s engagement with multiculturalism – that recurs in all of them.
