Jurisprudence is a subject area filled with numerous legal theories. One notable theory in this area is legal positivism, which is often subdivided into classical and modern positivism. These concepts shall be in explored in greater depth later but in sum, legal positivism refers to law as man-made and separate from the concept of morality. This essay shall explain and critically evaluate the main features of both forms of legal positivism. Following this, Ronald Dworkin’s concerns with legal positivism
Ronald Dworkin has become one of the most influential legal philosophers over the last century providing a ‘sophisticated alternative to legal positivism’. Dworkin is a non-orthodox natural law theorist, his account of law centres on his theory of adjudication. A key aspect of adjudication is the concept of Law as Integrity. However, some commentators suggest that Dworkin’s ideal does not reflect the reality of judicial interpretation. In this paper I will outline Dworkin’s ‘law as integrity’ and
Hart's Theory When Hart began forming his legal theory a dominant view in legal theory literature was that law is best understood as the command of a sovereign to its subjects. The 'command' theory most actively propounded by, and identified with Austin, explained law as a matter of commands by a sovereign who is habitually obeyed by others, but who does not habitually obey others. There are regular patterns of obedience to these commands, and legal obligations exist insofar as the failure
Integrity is the focal point of Dworkin's philosophy of law. For Dworkin, law as integrity is the best conception that best fits the concept of law.[ See Ronald Dworkin, Law's Empire, (Hart Publishing, 2006), p 90 for a distinction between concepts and conceptions.] To word it in another manner, Dworkin's theory of law as integrity best justifies the legal practice. At this point, I would postulate that it is through an understanding of the reason behind Dworkin's assertion of law as integrity being
The H.L. Hunley started out with two men named James McClintock, who built gauges for steam-operated equipment, and Horace Lawson Hunley, an owner of a large plantation who worked as a lawyer and a customs officer in New Orleans. Horace got mad at the Union because of the blockade. He was not able to ship or sell his sugar and cotton. He became so mad that he became captain of a blockade runner, a ship that moved supplies by moving silently through the blockade at night. Horace wanted to build
second person skills. Rapport building is the establishment of a harmonic, comfortable work relationship between the counsellor and the client (Ramseyer & Tschacher, 2011). Rapport is the essential skill for a counsellor to build trust with the client. Hunt and Price (2002) suggest rapport should be additionally based on sincerity and respect and is never ending as it is a building stone to a productive long-term bond. Sharpley, Jeffrey and McMah (2006) state effective rapport building can be display

Erik Camarena Instructor Canestrino CJ 3230 15 March 2024 Police Subculture Police subculture is derived from a group or agency having a similar set of values and beliefs that often created a sense of unity within the officers. I believe police subculture can be used as a legitimate training tool that can guide new officers into becoming better individuals. Police subculture is often based on a set of “core values” which can shape an agency in a way they believe to be fit. The “core values” can either
juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated episodes is the basic characteristic of the narrative. The narrative, which appears parallel, contrasts temptation and beheading tales; which posed the major problem of unity for the early critics (Benson 26). H. L. Savage analyzes the relation between the hunting and temptation scenes and concludes that they are probably the best known explanation of narrative variation in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (Benson 25). Simultaneously, one scene takes place in

fairness in a community by humbling one another to ensure that not a single member gains more wealth than the others (Haviland, Prins, Walrath, and McBride, 2015). An example of a leveling mechanism is when a member brings an animal back from their hunt, others don’t praise him, but instead tell them what’s wrong with it to prevent that member of gaining prestige (Monroe, 2015- subsistence systems). This example is used by the !Kung society because they believe in the same idea of social equality

frequent cause of death between 1 month and 1 year of age (Naeye). SIDS is defined as the sudden death of any infant or young child that is unexpected by it’s history, and in which a thorough postmortem examination fails to determine an adequate cause (Hunt 1987). It is important to consider both aspects of this definition in order not to ‘overdiagnose’ SIDS. A mistake of this nature would occur with failure to report a previous history of seizures, or if at the time of the autopsy a differentiation between
‘Some idea of a child or childhood motivates writers and determines both the form and content of what they write.’ -- Hunt The above statement is incomplete, as Hunt not only states that the writer has an idea of a child but in the concluding part, he states that the reader also has their own assumptions and perceptions of a child and childhood. Therefore, in order to consider Hunt’s statement, this essay will look at the different ideologies surrounding the

Reporters and politicians were interested in this case because they found out that McCord was a former member of the CIA. Its agents are not permitted to spy on Americans. Not

Common Sense, Ethics, and Dogma in The Wife of Bath In his Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer assembles a band of pilgrims who, at the behest of their host, engage in a story-telling contest along their route. The stories told along the way serve a number of purposes, among them to entertain, to instruct, and to enlighten. In addition to the intrinsic value of the tales taken individually, the tales in their telling reveal much about the tellers. The pitting of tales one against another provides
