  • What is the summary of Dworkin's theory?

    Dworkin argues that, when faced with a difficult case to which no statute or previous decision applies, a judge does not make law, but rather interprets what is already part of the legal materials.
    For Dworkin, law consists not merely of rules, but includes non-rule standards — principles and policies.

  • How does Dworkin define rules?

    (Dworkin 1977, 24).
    Thus, rules are something that, if they are valid, “dictate the result, come what may” (ibid., 35).
    Dworkin illustrates their nature by comparing them to the rules of a game.
    For example, in baseball it is a rule that if a batter has had three strikes, he is out.

  • What does Dworkin view as the major difference between rules and principles?

    In addition to examples, Dworkin gives us two abstract differences between principles and rules (Dworkin 1967, 25–27). Rules are all or nothing while principles are not.
    Principles have weight or importance while rules do not.

  • What does Dworkin view as the major difference between rules and principles?

    According to Dworkin, the traditional conception of the law/morality. relation sees each as a “collection of norms”5 that forms an independent. system.
    The “classical” question, he says, is whether and how “the content of. each system affect[s] the content of the other.”
