General rules: we are here to help each other not compete, please do your part diligently, no free riders allowed :) Legal positivism - positivism is from the latin root positus, which means to posit, postulate, or firmly affix the existence of something. Jurisprudence - the branch of philosophy concerned with the law and the principles that lead courts to make the decisions they do. Legal positivism is the legal philosophy which argues that any and all laws are nothing more and nothing less than simply the expression of the will of whatever authority created them. Thus, no laws can be regarded as expressions of higher morality or higher principles to which people can appeal when they disagree with the laws. It is a view that law is a social construction.
