About the book
A philosophical look into “What is Law”, and all else that encompasses a legal system. The author also compares his views against other renowned experts. I just started reading it, all I can say so far is that Mr. H.L.A. Hart writes a lot like me, so for all my dear English Professors who corrected my essays and told me that proper writing does not contain run-on sentences please read this worthy book that has been read by college Professors, students and layman for over forty years.
