Abstract
This essay, forthcoming in the Jerusalem Review of Legal Studies, analyzes Irit Samet's book "Equity: Conscience Goes to Market" (2018). It offers praise for Samet's illumination of conscience in equity, while also raising several critical questions. In particular, this essay argues that Samet offers a too minimal equity, which in her account is distinguished from law only by the centrality of conscience and the profusion of standards. The essay concludes with three questions: what of equity's dangers? do the social and institutional conditions exist for a thick morality in equity? and is Samet offering an internal or external perspective on equity?
