Professor Dworkin criticises legal positivism, concentrating particularly on the version provided by Professor Hart. According to Hart, law is a system of rules. In reality, Dworkin argues law also consists of other standards which cannot be assimilated to the category of a rule. Principles are a particular example. Positivists also argue that when there is no clear rule to guide them, judges must make new law in the exercise of their discretion. Dworkin argues, on the contrary, that judges are usually bound by existing principles in the law and don't have a creative role that positivism seems to assign to them. He examines the way in which these principles are in fact deployed in legal decisions.R.D. critique le positivisme juridique, spéc...
