Sinopsis

This book is the first of four volumes published under the series titleáThe Judge and the Creative Positivist.áCreative positivismáis a legal philosophy that is an extension of H.L.A. HartâÇÖs legal positivist theory presented in his classic workáThe Concept of Law. Moskowitz identifies âÇÖhardâÇÖ cases that do not fit easily into HartâÇÖs rule of recognition, cases in which there are gaps, open texture or penumbral factual situations. He then modifies HartâÇÖs version of the discretionary theory that limits the exercise of discretion in making judicial decisions. The author is in a unique position to do so thanks to his having studied under Hart at Oxford, providing the latter at his request with a critique of theáThe Concept of Lawáwhile it was still in draft form. He demonstrates through the creative positivist theory how discretion is exercised in âÇÖeasyâÇÖ cases too, where the law is determinate. In so doing, Moskowitz adds to HartâÇÖs primary and secondary rules a new set ofátertiary rules.The Judge and the Umpireásprings from a reaction against a supreme court judgeâÇÖs direct attempt to assimilate the two roles in his inaugural speech. In short, the author argues, because judges are authorized to create new legal rules, they areánotálike umpires who call balls and strikes with no authority to change the rules.This series will be invaluable to students of US jurisprudence and legal philosophy and provide researchers with a ground shifting new theory. This first volume examines six cases in detail, providing an introduction that is accessible to undergraduates and to general readers with an interest in the context of existing judicial decisions.www.thecreativepositivist.comPublished by www.hugejam.com, 2022
