Normative Jurisprudence aims to reinvigorate normative legal
scholarship that both criticizes positive law and suggests reforms
for it, on the basis of stated moral values and legalistic ideals.
It looks sequentially and in detail at the three major traditions
in jurisprudence – natural law, legal positivism and critical
legal studies – that have in the past provided philosophical
foundations for just such normative scholarship. Over the last
fifty years or so, all of these traditions, although for different
reasons, have taken a number of different turns – toward
empirical analysis, conceptual analysis or Foucaultian critique –
and away from straightforward normative criticism. As a result,
normative legal scholarship – scholarship that is aimed at
criticism and reform – is now lacking a foundation in
jurisprudential thought. The book criticizes those developments and
suggests a return, albeit with different and in many ways larger
challenges, to this traditional understanding of the purpose of
legal scholarship.
