  Jurisprudence Law Essay Writing Samples - Hart, Austin, Positivism
Hart's criticism of Austin's jurisprudence as being based on the "gunman situation writ large" confines itself in The Concept of Law to a critique proper, and never allows itself at any point to smack of an ad hominen criticism of its author.
The inadequacy of the over-personalised and inflexible nature of Austin's sovereign is similar in its implications to the role which the notion of a command is made to play in the imperative theory of law.
The notion of determinate sovereignty and that of the issuing from that source of commands are both aspects of a desire to find the source of law in terms of a factual description.

 The Avalon Project : Ancient Law - Chapter 1
The theoretical descent of Roman jurisprudence from a code, the theoretical ascription of English law to immemorial unwritten tradition, were the chief reasons why the development of their system differed from the development of ours.
The results of this separation of ingredients tally exactly with the facts of mature jurisprudence; and, by a little straining of language, they may be made to correspond in form with all law, of all kinds, at all epochs.
The condition of the jurisprudence which it implies has left traces which may still be detected in legal and popular phraseology.

 Jurisprudence Law Essay Writing Samples - Hart, Austin, Positivism
His principal work, The Province of Jurisprudence Determined, held sway in the teaching of jurisprudence in British universities for about a century.
Teachers of jurisprudence in the United States largely ignored Austinian 'theory', preferring to concentrate attention on what legal rules do, can be made to do, by whom, and for what legitimate reason.
What law, or rather the law, should be is (to use a very broad and crude generalisation) the province of the study of natural law theory and doctrine.

 Natural Law [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Accordingly, the task of conceptual jurisprudence is to provide a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of law that distinguishes law from non-law in every possible world.
Conceptual jurisprudence assumes the existence of a core of social practices (constituting law) that requires a conceptual explanation.
On this view, the criteria that determine whether or not any given norm counts as a legal norm are binding because of an implicit or explicit agreement among officials.

 John Austin
Analytical jurisprudence emphasizes the analysis of key concepts, including “law,” “(legal) right,” “(legal) duty,” and “legal validity.” Though analytical jurisprudence has been challenged by some in recent years (e.g., Leiter 1998), it remains the dominant approach to discussing the nature of law.
Analytical jurisprudence, an approach to theorizing about law, has sometimes been confused with what the American legal realists (an influential group of theorists prominent in the early decades of the 20th century) called “legal formalism”—a narrow approach to how judges should decide cases.
However, also excluded from “the province of jurisprudence” were customary law (except to the extent that the sovereign had, directly or indirectly, adopted such customs as law), public international law, and parts of constitutional law.

 LAW AS COMMUNICATION
LAW AS COMMUNICATION represents creative work in general jurisprudence with an obvious focus on the communicative nature of law, and it sheds new light on our understanding of law and legal discourse.
It is informed by theories of communicative action, psychology, linguistics and autopoietic theories of law, rather than a mere application of Habermas in reshaping jurisprudence.
These two models of communication and meaning may be well known by linguists, but in jurisprudence they are relatively new.

Austin (1790-1859) outlines foundations for law education and practice by distinguishing positive laws ("which form the appropriate matter of general and particular jurisprudence") from divine laws, positive morality, and metaphorical or figurative laws.

It was not a question of the law in Shakespeare, an exercise in determining the law as it appears to operate in those of the plays that have a strong legal component.
The arguments relating to these cases in our jurisprudence were argued with enormous vigor and care, and their general tenor will emerge from the judgment that I have, for the benefit of posterity, appended below.

 Legal Obligation and Authority
This is not to deny that we owe something to those decent associations of which we find ourselves non-voluntary members — but we do need some further argument to determine exactly what this amounts to.
To accept them as authoritative therefore requires deferring to their judgement, and allowing that to displace our own assessment of what is to be done.
This is not blind deference: the subject remains attentive to higher-order considerations that determine whether the authority is trustworthy, acting in good faith, and so on.

 The Nature of Law
General jurisprudence, as this philosophical inquiry about the nature of law is called, is meant to be universal.
The main insight of Legal Positivism, that the conditions of legal validity are determined by social facts, involves two separate claims which have been labeled The Social Thesis and The Separation Thesis.
In other words, the relevance of morality is determined in any given legal system by the contingent content of that society's conventions.

I think section II.7 of the entry for ''province'' in the OED2 is the appropriate one, leading to the translation above.
Nevertheless, for those who are interested in, Austin's book is (said to be) the first important work of English jurisprudence (in England, jurisprudence is a fairly young academic subject, as the acadmic approach to English law in general).

Indispensable for all discussions of jurisprudence, The Province of Jurisprudence Determined (1832) is a model of rigorous and clear analysis which brought order to the disparate elements of a legal profession that up until John Austin's time was largely unsystematic.
Although Austin (1790-1859) was greatly respected by such notables as Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, his work received little attention.
In so doing he defined the field of inquiry for later students." "Defining the sphere of ethics and law, The Province of Jurisprudence Determined came to revolutionize English views on the subject and was welcomed by American jurists such as J. Gray and Oliver Wendell Holmes.

 Logos Lex and Law
If the price of regional precision is loss of overall reality, one needs, as it were, another place to stand in order to determine when the fictions of the legal system part altogether with what one experiences as real in terms of the larger universe we all inhabit.
The battle between the logos of the poet or novelist and the lex of the lawyer seems embodied in an essay written by a friend of mine back when we were both studying at Tulane Law School.
In his determination to establish by decree an inequality between traitor and patriot, and by his condemnation of Antigone to be buried alive, Creon has outraged the central order, and turned the natural succession of things on their head.

 Siris: On John Austin on Natural Law
If the laws of God are certain, the motives which they hold out to disobey any human command which is at variance with them are paramount to all others.
But the laws of God are not always certain....To incite the public to resistance by determinate views of utility may be useful, for resistance, grounded on clear and definite prospects of good, is sometimes beneficial.
But to proclaim generally that all laws which are pernicious or contrary to the will of God are void and not to be tolerated, is to preach anarchy, hostile and perilous as much to wise and benign rule as to stupid and galling tyranny.
