Wicked Legal Systems
Review from previous issue: “As a legal story, the book is written with passion and care, and its meaning is clear. He seems to support the argument of legal positivists who insist on a clear conceptual distinction between legal requirements arising from social sources and moral demands. Is the existence of evil legal systems an insurmountable obstacle for critics of positivism who reject the meaning of this distinction? The abstract debates of legal philosophers seem far removed from the practical application of law in the field of judicial decision-making. This book argues that theoretical disagreements are fundamental to legal practice and analyzes the abstract debates of legal philosophy through a detailed study of legal interpretations in apartheid South Africa – a model of the “evil legal system”. The case study shows that certain notions of law and the rule of law determined the reasoning of judges whose decisions supported public policy and judges whose decisions opposed those policies. The first edition of this book was published in 1991. Since then, South Africa has changed and the main legal theoretical debates have shifted from the analysis of the concept of law itself to the analysis of the concept of legality and the value of the rule of law. For this new, fundamentally revised edition, the author discusses the transformation of South Africa since the end of apartheid and the changing direction of legal philosophy. It also examines the emergence of counter-terrorism security laws and the arguments surrounding their compliance with the rule of law. The book provides an invaluable guide to understanding the abstract debates of legal theory and their importance in legal practice. A central debate in the case law concerns the nature of judicial duty in “difficult” cases involving contentious legal issues.
Legal experts believe that judges must exercise a margin of discretion that is ultimately not limited by law in deciding such cases. Ronald Dworkin argued that the decision in such cases is determined by law: judges must apply a “theory of the strongest” that explains and morally justifies.
