Document Summary
A judge"s function is not to make the laws-that is the function of the legislative branch-but to. The laws enacted by the legislative bodies are expressed in general terms, thus judges have some flexibility in interpreting and applying the law: the natural law school (universal) Belief that there can be no higher law that a nation"s positive law (laws created by the government). No such thing as natural rights because human rights exist solely because of laws. Law is the law: the historical school. Looks to the past to discover what the principals of contemporary law should be. Adherents of this school are more likely than other schools to strictly follow decisions made in past case: the legal realism.
