	Positive law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a general legal sense, positive law is man-made law, that is, law established by governmental authority, especially that which has been codified into a written form (statutory law).
		In the case of titles that are positive law (in the restricted sense), the text of the title itself, as published in the United States Code by the United States Government Printing Office, is conclusive evidence of the exact wording and punctuation of the statute.
		The designation of a particular title of the Code as "positive" or "non-positive" law usually has little practical significance, as there are very few substantive variances between the texts of statutes as published in the United States Code and the texts of the same statutes in the United States Statutes at Large.

	EXC3.0 Natural law/positive law
		Ever since John Austin (1797-1859) rejected the "moral" theory of the natural law, proposing the "command" theory of positive law, natural law and positive law have been treated as alternative explanation of law as a whole.
		The moral law implements the principle of greatest liberty by according each person the greatest liberty-the greatest freedom from the impact of others-consistent with the universal implementation of the principle.
		The positive law, then, is limited to the domain of producing freedom, while the natural law is one way to characterize the domain of liberty.

	LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
		The proposal to re-enact the Trademark Act as positive law was prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives, which is charged by law with maintaining the official version of the United States Code and preparing legislation to enact individual titles of the code into positive law.
		As part of this process, existing law is reorganized and restated, without substantive change, to improve the overall organization of the code and the particular provisions being re-enacted.
		The proposal to re-enact the Trademark Act and related laws as part of a positive law title is merely a continuation of the long-term goal of enacting the entire code into positive law.

	Faculty Forum: Torture and Positive Law
		Law is not brutal in its operation; law is not savage; law does not rule through abject fear and terror, or by breaking the will of those whom it confronts.
		If law is forceful or coercive, it gets its way by non-brutal methods that respect rather than mutilate the dignity and agency of those who are its subjects.
		The finality of law means that it is important for law to prevail in the last analysis, and, as Max Weber puts it, "the threat of force, and in the case of need of its actual use...

	Codification Legislation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Positive law codification is the process of preparing and enacting, one title at a time, a revision and restatement of the general and permanent laws of the United States.
		When this project is completed, all the titles of the Code will be legal evidence of the general and permanent laws and recourse to the numerous volumes of the United States Statutes at Large for this purpose will no longer be necessary.
		Positive law codification bills prepared by the Office do not change the meaning or legal effect of a statute being revised and restated.

	Siris: Positive Arguments for Natural Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		It is natural law, therefore, that makes possible obedience to positive law in the first place, since it is natural law that makes possible all practical reasoning (which obedience to positive law presupposes).
		It is natural law, then, that justifies the creation and preservation of the legal mechanisms of civil society through which positive law is possible, since it contains the principles that govern practical reasoning about what would be conducive to the common good of each us insofar as we are interacting with each other in society.
		It is also natural law that makes possible a real international law, since the first basics of a law of nations derive from the need for interactions between peoples or nations to be in conformity with the basic principles of practical reason.

	Public international law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Even when the law is not able to stop the outbreak of war, it has developed principles to govern the conduct of hostilities and the treatment of prisoners.
		International law is also used to govern issues relating to the global environment, the global commons such as international waters and outer space, global communications, and world trade.
		Whilst municipal law is hierarchical or vertical, with the legislature enacting binding legislation, international law is horizontal, with all states being sovereign and theoretically equal.

		In this first book-length study of positive law, James Bernard Murphy rewrites central chapters in the history of jurisprudence by uncovering a fundamental continuity among four great legal philosophers: Plato, Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Hobbes, and John Austin.
		These two senses of positive law are not coextensive yet the discourse of positive law oscillates unstably between them.
		Murphy demonstrates how the discourse of positive law incorporates both normative and descriptive dimensions of law, and he discusses the relation of positive law not only to jurisprudence but also to the philosophy of language, ethics, theories of social order, and biblical law.
