RAPPAPORT INTRODUCTION For more than half a century, legal theory has focused on a particular objective—to understand and describe the “concept” of law.1 In that pursuit, theorists have employed a methodology aptly called “conceptual analysis.”2 The result has been a series of striking claims about law's nature—that law has a fixed essence, that it is fundamentally normative, that it is based on the “marriage” of primary and secondary -

Two Generations of Scandinavian Legal Realists
62 RETFÆRD ÅRGANG 32 2009 NR. 1/124 Two Generations of Scandinavian Legal Realists CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto JOHAN STRANG Johan Strang Abstract: The discussion on the implications of Scandinavian Legal Realism would benefit con- siderably from more careful historical attention to the different political and philosophical ambi- tions of the theoreticians that followed Axel Hägerström. The scholars, who were later gathered under the label Scandinavian Legal Realism, did not represent a static theoretical position that remained unchanged from the 1910s to the 1950s; rather, their aims and ambitions varied with changing political and philosophical circumstances. The purpose of this article is to propose a distinction between two generations of Scandinavian Legal Realists. While the goal of the first generation (Vilhelm Lundstedt and Karl Olivecrona) fell little short of revolutionising the field of jurisprudence, transforming law into a vehicle for political and social reform, one of the main objectives of the second generation (Alf Ross and Ingemar Hedenius) was to take the edge off the radicalism of their predecessors. Key Words: Scandinavian Legal Realism; politics, democracy; Uppsala philosophy; logical em- piricism; Alf Ross; Ingemar Hedenius If Scandinavian Legal Realism could be reduced to one basic tenet, the idea that the law is a social phenomenon ultimately relying only on the sanction of man himself would be one prominent candidate. This was a basic line of thought for the founder of the school, Axel Hägerström (1868-1939), as well as for his followers Vilhelm Lundstedt (1882-1955), Karl Olivecrona (1897-1980), Alf Ross (1899-1979) and Ingemar Hedenius (1908-1982). -
Method and Principle in Legal Theory
Book Review Method and Principle in Legal Theory Stephen R. Perryt The Practice of Principle: In Defence of a PragmatistApproach to Legal Theory. By Jules L. Coleman.* Oxford. Oxford University Press, 2001. Pp. 226. $39.95. Jules Coleman is an exceptionally distinguished legal theorist who has made significant contributions to many different fields in legal and political philosophy, but he is particularly well known for his work in tort theory and in jurisprudence. In tort theory, he has offered a powerful and sustained defense of the view that tort law is best understood by reference to the principle of corrective justice.' In jurisprudence, he is one of the two most prominent contemporary legal positivists-the other is Joseph Raz-and also the leading proponent of the view that has come to be known as inclusive legal positivism.2 That view holds that while a particular legal system's criteria of legality-the criteria that determine which norms are to count in the system as legal norms-must be grounded in a social convention of a certain kind, the criteria themselves need not refer exclusively to social sources; contrary to what Raz has argued, the sources of law can also be moral in character. t John J. O'Brien Professor of Law and Professor of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania Law School.

1 Modernizing Canada's Electoral System: Instant Runoff Voting As The
Modernizing Canada’s Electoral System: Instant Runoff Voting as the Best Alternative By Maxime Dubé, as an individual Summary In the context of electoral reform brought about by the current government, many electoral systems come into contention for replacing the current first-past-the-post (FPTP) system. In this brief, it is argued that the instant-runoff voting (IRV) system is the best alternative for the current FPTP system in Canada. It solves most of Canadians’ issues with the current system, while presenting itself as the least challenging option for all bodies implicated in a federal election. Additionally, the IRV system does not produce coalition governments like other systems, thus allowing the state to remain strong and effective. The adoption of mandatory voting should only be considered after researching methods that will incentivize citizens to vote. Finally, online voting should not to be considered, due to potential security concerns. Introduction The present FPTP system is an electoral system that has been, and still is widely used throughout the world. It “is one of the oldest and simplest electoral systems”1 For instance, this voting system is presently used in all legislative elections in Canada, for national parliamentary elections in the United Kingdom and the United States of America, as well as for India and most Caribbean islands2. With the election of the current majoritarian Liberal government in the 2015 general election, one of the electoral promises made by the party and its leader, Justin Trudeau, was that the general election of 2015 would be the last federal election to be held with the FPTP system3. -
Alf Ross 1899–1979: a Biographical Sketch

Alf Ross 1899–1979: A Biographical Sketch Knud Waaben* Alf Ross was born on 10 June 1899 in Copenhagen, the son of a civil servant in a government department. He graduated from high school in 1917. His first choice was to study at the Technical University, but he left it after one term and turned to law. He finished his legal studies in the summer of 1922 with remarkable results, obtaining the rare distinction then called laudabilis et qvidem egregie. Following graduation, he took up employment in a barrister’s office, but the practical occupations of a trainee did not satisfy him and he preferred to devote his time to further studies in law. Ross was well deserving of the scholarship he received from the Law Faculty for studies abroad. These awards would normally enable a young lawyer to spend about two years in foreign universities, usually in Germany, France and England. In 1923, Ross set out on a study tour which lasted two and a half years. In this same year he married Else-Merete Helweg-Larsen, a student at the Faculty of Humanities, who later became a high school teacher. She was a member of Parliament in 1960–73, representing a small liberal party which held considerable influence over the formation of political majorities after general elections. Ross’ journey took him to France, England and Austria. He may have gone abroad, as many young people did, without a detailed plan of study, but rather with an open mind to learn all he could from foreign law, court visits and perhaps from discussions with professors. -

Ross and Olivecrona on Rights BRIAN H. BIX1 Introduction The Scandinavian legal realists, critically-inclined theorists from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, who wrote in the early and middle decades of the 20t century,2 are not as widely read as they once were in Britain, and they seemed never to have received much attention in the United States. This is unfortunate, as the work of those theorists, at their best, is as sharp in its criticisms and as sophisticated philosophically as anything written by the better known (at least better known in Britain and the United States) American legal realists, who were writing at roughly the same time. The focus of the present article, Alf Ross and Karl Olivecrona, were arguably the most accessible of the Scandinavian legal realists, with their clear prose, straight- forward style of argumentation, and the availability of a number of works in English. -

Positivism and the Inseparability of Law and Morals
\\server05\productn\N\NYU\83-4\NYU403.txt unknown Seq: 1 25-SEP-08 12:20 POSITIVISM AND THE INSEPARABILITY OF LAW AND MORALS LESLIE GREEN* H.L.A. Hart made a famous claim that legal positivism somehow involves a “sepa- ration of law and morals.” This Article seeks to clarify and assess this claim, con- tending that Hart’s separability thesis should not be confused with the social thesis, the sources thesis, or a methodological thesis about jurisprudence. In contrast, Hart’s separability thesis denies the existence of any necessary conceptual connec- tions between law and morality. That thesis, however, is false: There are many necessary connections between law and morality, some of them conceptually signif- icant. Among them is an important negative connection: Law is, of its nature, morally fallible and morally risky. Lon Fuller emphasized what he called the “internal morality of law,” the “morality that makes law possible.” This Article argues that Hart’s most important message is that there is also an immorality that law makes possible. Law’s nature is seen not only in its internal virtues, in legality, but also in its internal vices, in legalism. INTRODUCTION H.L.A. Hart’s Holmes Lecture gave new expression to the old idea that legal systems comprise positive law only, a thesis usually labeled “legal positivism.” Hart did this in two ways. First, he disen- tangled the idea from the independent and distracting projects of the imperative theory of law, the analytic study of legal language, and non-cognitivist moral philosophies. Hart’s second move was to offer a fresh characterization of the thesis. -
