    This was the recommended reading for Final year LLB Jurisprudence in UOL UK, and reading it really gives you an overall understanding to answer any questions you may face at the examination. My experience with it had been great. I recommend it to any examination candidate as well for any one wishing to enhance their knowledge on the subject of Legal Theory.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It is one of the best books to be read by every law student
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    It is one of the best books to be read by every law student. Certainly, it is one of the illustrious law book in our time, but one should be cautious not to misunderstand its weaknesses, as well. As illustrious it is, so conceptually fragile too it is. It not only defends, but also successfully brings legal positivism at the center of legal analysis; however, without any uniform and determined framework of positivism defended and established. I am one of the admirers as well as critic of the theory of Hart, which this book is the most representative one. On the whole, I love this book and have read many times.

    One of the books that helped my daughter pass her IB. It was recommended reading. She got an excellent score and went to UCL so, this book must have been good. so I assume it was a good one.

    Non lasciatevi spaventare dalla dicitura "brossura". La rilegatura è perfetta e non vi sembrerà nemmeno di non avere un libro tradizionale.
