  It should be noted that some legal theorists, most notably for present purposes Ronald Dworkin, do not carve up the questions and issues on this topic in the way outlined above. For Dworkin, when judges decide a case according to law, they do no more than ascertain the content of the law and apply it to the facts of the case. In other words, judges never resort to extra-legal considerations in deciding cases according to law: all the considerations which they are entitled to take into account are part of the law. This means that, according to Dworkin, when judges reason about the law in sense (b), what they are doing amounts to no more nor less than reasoning about the law in sense (a), i.e. reasoning to establish the content of the law (see Dworkin 1977 &amp; 1986).
