In this article we give an explicit representation of p-adic Dedekind sums and their reciprocity laws by using p-adic measure theory. We then study the consequences of the p-adic reciprocity law for particular positive integer values in which case we can recover a reciprocity law for Dedekind sums attached to particular Dirichlet characters. This gives a proof different from that of Nagasaka.
