The tradition of legal positivism in modern legal thought
pp. 57-71
in: , The invisible origins of legal positivism, Berlin, Springer, 2001Abstract
Why do jurists and officials consider certain norms/rules as legally binding? How is it possible for officials to insist that their role is not to question the political wisdom or substantive moral content of norms/rules? Why do lawyers and judges, to be more specific, observe from the sidelines, as it were, as if their norms/rules were impersonal and their decisions distanced?
