They also analyze and discuss fairness, justice, and moral ideals in the field of legal theory. 89 There are significant differences between legal systems. For example, judicial review and discussions about rights are not as common in some Scandinavian countries. See, for example, Ran Hirschl, The Nordic Counternarrative: Democracy, Human Development, and Judicial Review, 9 Int`l J. Const. L. 449 (2011), researcher icon.oxfordjournals.org/content/9/2/449.full.pdf.Google 35 Smith, Steven D., Jurisprudence: Beyond Extinction, in On Philosophy in American Law 249 (Francis J. Mootz III ed., 2009). Hart`s emphasis on the internal point of view, which is represented only by lawyers, also deprives his jurisprudence of its critical bite. After all, even at the height of positivism—when Hart won the debate against Fuller—it remained a mystery how it could be argued that the separation of law and morality was desirable because it preserved the possibility of criticizing positive law from the outside. On the impossibility and futility of such a statement, see Liam Murphy, Better to See Law This Way, 83 N.Y.U. L.
Rev. 1088 (2008). Is Google Scholar Legal Theory relevant to Legal Practice? Should legal theory be part of the legal curriculum? This article presents three theses concerning these long-contested questions. First, it argues that the existing literature has pursued an inadequate argumentative strategy by (1) assuming that there is only one yes or no answer to questions about the relevance of legal theory; and (2) treat legal theory and practice as separate and independent entities. This article distinguishes between different styles of legal theory and legal practice, arguing that the role of legal theory must take into account changes in the substance of law, legal reasoning, and legal career. Second, this article focuses on European civil law countries and concludes that most legal theories are not relevant to conventional legal practice. At the same time, it suggests that the constitutionalization, transnationalization and Europeanization of legal systems change legal practice in a way that fits theory better than before. He also argues that legal roles that embody a legislative perspective in law create a demand for more theoretical sophistication. Third, this article suggests what a legal theory course might look like, described along the lines of the analysis conducted. Teaching in the form of lectures and legal exercises will revolve around these theories and the associated points of criticism.
At university, you will also examine how these legal theories affect the English legal system, past and present. 3 See, for example, Cotterrell, Roger, Pandora`s Box: Jurisprudence in Legal Education, 7 Int`l J. Legal Prof. 179, 180 (2000); Csaba Varga, The Philosophy of Legal Philosophy Education in Hungary, Iustum Aequum Salutare 165 (2009). This rough generalization is also based on my personal knowledge of the various European law faculties as well as a brief consultation of a number of legal theory course profiles.

Footnote 52, pp. 756-57 (“Thus, when judges are faced with a breach of contract, they are free to write a theory of effective breach as the next chapter of the novel.”).
