They exercise discretion and legislate, revising the rules to give an answer to the case before them. Dworkin believes that judges settle cases in at least one of these two ways:

2016-02-28 · Dworkin (1977) argues that Hart’s theory of law is insufficient in that it doesn’t explain all aspects of law. In his criticism of Hart’s account, Dworkin stipulates that Hart fails to incorporate principles into his description of what law is. Dworkin is mistaken regarding Hart’s concept of rules, and he consequently errs in his portrayal of Hart’s concept of judicial discretion and his treatment of principles. I conclude by citing a passage in Taking Rights Seriously where I believe Dworkin clearly concedes victory to Hart’s theory of “soft” positivism. Dworkin on Hart.

Positivists say that their content is determined ultimately or exclusively by social facts. The Hart-Dworkin debate, I also try to show, is not a monolithic entity. In the second half of the paper, I describe how Dworkin modified his critique to circumvent the responses of Hart’s followers, thereby inaugurating a new phase in the debate.

In particular, Hart would support Gray when Gray states, “The question we are dealing with is whether a testamentary disposition can be altered, or a will revoked, after the testators death, through an appeal to the courts, when the legislature has by its enactments prescribed exactly when and how wills may Dworkin argues that Hart has ignored the idea that legal rights may exist even in the absence of any explicit legislation.

I conclude by citing a passage in Taking Rights Seriously where I believe Dworkin clearly concedes victory to Hart’s theory of “soft” positivism. Dworkin also maintains that Hart’s theory that the law is the union of primary and secondary rules cannot accommodate principles.
