Philosophy of Lawe

QUESTION 1 – Law and Justice.
One of the central concerns of legal theory is the relationship between \’Law\’ and \’Justice\’. With reference to all relevant learning resources, reflect upon and articulate what you understand the relationship between \’Law\’ and \’Justice\’ to be.

QUESTION 2 – The nature of law.
Both traditional and contemporary jurisprudence seem preoccupied, to varying degrees, with the definition of the very \’nature\’ of what the law \’is\’. With reference to all relevant learning resources, reflect upon and articulate what you understand the \’nature\’ of law to be.

QUESTION 3 – The force of law.
One of the central concerns of Western legal theory has always been the investigation of law\’s \’legitimacy\’. With reference to all relevant learning resources, reflect upon and articulate your understanding of law\’s \’legitimacy\’.

QUESTION 4 – \’Reading\’ the law.
One of the most significant elements that distinguish contemporary jurisprudence from traditional jurisprudence has been the abandonment of the idea of law being susceptible to a single reading. With this in mind, identify a Case that you find particularly significant, and attempt to \’read\’ it form the perspectives of the legal theories explored in this unit.
