  While, as Levenbook 1984 notes, Dworkin's account of integrity in adjudication requires judges to attempt to view the legal system as a whole as exhibiting coherence and speaking with one voice in interpreting the law, Dworkin does also recognise that compartmentalisation into different branches or areas of law is an indisputable feature of legal practice, and he accordingly attempts to integrate it within his vision of adjudicative integrity. He does so via his doctrine of local priority in interpretation, i.e. that if a given principle justifying a judicial decision does not fit at all well with the area of law which the case is classified as falling under, then this counts dramatically against deciding the case in accordance with that principle, no matter how well such an interpretation coheres with other areas of the law (see Dworkin 1986, ch. 7). However, because of the strong pull toward global coherence in law as integrity—expressed in Dworkin's claim that it is necessary to strive to view the legal system as a whole as speaking with one voice, the voice of an authentic political community, in order that law can be seen as justifying state coercion—the current compartmentalisation of the law is not an unrevisable given for judges deciding cases, rather, it, too, is something which is subject to the Dworkinian process of constructive interpretation. This being so, he claims, when the compartmentalisation of the law does not track widely held principles of those subject to the law accounting current classificatory boundaries as important, then the doctrine of local priority is to be given much less force. Indeed, where there is a serious mismatch between the current compartmentalisation and actual views about relevant similarities and differences between areas of law held by those subject to it, it might be possible for judges to discard the doctrine of local priority altogether, and undertake radical reform of some departments of law in order to make them cohere better with others, or even to erase entire the alleged boundaries between certain branches of law in the course of interpreting the law and applying it to new cases.
