Law as a Moral Idea
This book argues that the institutions of law, and the structures of legal thought, are to be understood by reference to a moral ideal. The idea of law is an ideal of freedom, or independence from the power of others. The moral value and justificatory force of law are not contingent uponcircumstance, but intrinsic to its character as law. Doctrinal legal arguments are shaped by rival conceptions of the conditions for realisation of the idea of law.In making these claims, the author rejects the viewpoint of much contemporary legal theory, and seeks to move jurisprudence closer to an older tradition of philosophical reflection upon law, exemplified by Hobbes and Kant. Modern analytical jurispr...
Central Issues in Jurisprudence
Concerning itself with the nature of law and legal reasoning, and with the concepts of justice and individual rights, jurisprudence seeks to set legal ideas in the wider context of moral and political theory. To study jurisprudence properly, you need to read books by such authors as Rawls, Nozick, Hart and Dworkin. It is not, or should not be, a matter of ploughing through a textbook that merely tells you about these books. Nevertheless, a student needs some preliminary orientation. This book aims to provide a brief guide to the major theories and arguments which dominate discussion in jurisprudence. The object is to put the student, as quickly as possible, into a position where he or she can read the original writers with a real understanding of how their theories relate to each other, and of how these theories cluster around certain recurring fundamental issues.

Fundamental Legal Conceptions As Applied in Judicial Reasoning by Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld
Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld, born in 1879, died prematurely in 1918. He left only a few law journal articles as his published work. His 'Fundamental Legal Conceptions', originally published as two articles in the 'Yale Law Journal' for 1913 and 1917 and left incompletely revised at his death is, however, one of the principal foundations of analytic jurisprudence. The analysis of rights that Hohfeld offers is still regularly cited and relied upon by both lawyers and philosophers, and it is treated as a source of insight into the nature of moral rights as well as the legal rights that were Hohfeld’s own focus of concern. Although some of his analytical distinctions were anticipated by earlier jur...
