In Rights, Persons, and Organizations, Meir Dan-Cohen undertakes an important task: the development of a jurisprudence of organizations. He rightly points out that prevailing legal theory is ultimately based on a two-tier conception of society that comprehends only individuals and government. This model of political individualism tends either to personify organizations, investing them with the same rights and responsibilities as individuals, or to dissolve them into a mere aggregation of individuals that lacks independent jurisprudential significance. This approach, however, fails to address the distinctive and important characteristics of organizations such as corporations, labor unions, partnerships, educational, religious, and charitable institutions, cooperatives, and advocacy groups. Professor Dan-Cohen seeks to correct this deficiency by offering a legal theory that includes organizations.
