	Neil MacCormick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Rhetoric and the Rule of Law: A Theory of Legal Reasoning
		In the subsequent quarter century, MacCormick has moved from his initial Hartian positivism and Humean value skepticism to the conclusion, elaborated here, that “the whole enterprise of explicating and expounding criteria and forms of good legal reasoning has to be in the context of fundamental values that we impute to legal order” (p.1).
		MacCormick is too wise to try to force each of these categories into some macro theory of the meaning of law, or meaning of meaning, or of anything else.
		MacCormick, whose closest American counterpart is Kent Greenawalt (e.g., pp.163-168), rejects oratorical or poetic versions of the meaning of rhetoric.

	LAW AND LEGAL INTERPRETATION
		The collection of the papers is preceded by an introduction written by the editors, which succinctly summarizes the main points of the various authors, providing [*307] quite clear guidance for understanding them in the collection.
		MacCormick, in his article, “Reasonableness and Objectivity,” also addresses the relation between norms and facts.
		MacCormick believes that, although there is a subjective element in every judgment of reasonableness, we can take our reflections beyond raw feelings and give them some objectivity in something like the idea of an “impartial spectator,” a phrase he draws from Adam Smith.

	Law - Oxford University Press - Rhetoric and The Rule of Law: MacCormick
		Neil MacCormick's book tackles these questions in establishing an overall theory of legal reasoning which shows the essential part 'legal syllogism' plays in reasoning aimed at the application of law, while acknowledging that simple deductive reasoning, though always necessary, is very rarely sufficient to justify a decision.
		Looking at such long-discussed subjects as precedent and analogy and the interpretative character of the reasoning involved, Neil MacCormick expands upon his celebrated Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory (OUP 1978 and 1994) and restates his 'institutional theory of law'.

	Legal Rights
		The second view has the implication that the force of a right is not necessarily exhausted by any existing set of duties etc, that follow from it, but may be a ground for creating new duties as circumstances change.
		A more modern version of this theory was proposed by MacCormick (1977), who argued that a right-holder was the intended beneficiary of a specific share of benefit, rather than just being a generalised beneficiary of the rules.
		MacCormick (1976), for example, argued that any theory of rights which could not accommodate childrens' rights must be deficient, and this was a reason, in his view, for adopting an interest theory.
