This work is by teachers of Jurisprudence within the Faculty of Laws at University College London and consists of a number of essays representing current research on doctrines of legal positivism ? in general the idea in which a separation is sought between moral judgments and legal validity. It is also an idea whose origins were largely English particularly within the Benthamic tradition behind the creation of the first law school in England outside Oxford and Cambridge. The essays range from a consideration of early legal positivism as found in Bentham and Austin through to discussions by Ronald Dworkin of problems of objectivity and truth within contemporary positivism and by William Twining on the implications of positivism for globalisation.
