I would love to take your course Dr. Rundle I have taken this course at another University it was like listing to how paint drys. That Aussie accent makes all the differance from Dr.Rundle and her enthusiasm for Legal Philosophy. Your 2012 book Forms liberate is brilliant and Congratulations on winning the Peter Birks Award for the book you deserved it.
I think at the end of the day, whether the quality is good or bad, a legal system is a legal system, and it earns its validity as 'law' through subordination and compliancy, though it may be seen as morally incompatible with the morals of today's society. Law is law, even if it is 'bad' law.
But Fuller isn't talking about "social morality." He isn't saying Nazi law isn't law because it's "bad", or because it's discriminatory and oppressive. He's saying it isn't law because it cannot be obeyed. If a law is secret, if it punishes people for acts they did when those acts were legal, if it is vague, if its application has no rational connection to the letter of the law and so on, is THAT a law? Is a law whatever a system says is a law or is a law what is an actual rule that is pronounced and people are able to obey? That's what it's about. And while I think Fuller's point is genius. It means any system, even a totalitarian one, can theoretically produce many laws, if people have the ability to obey them. ALSO, I have her as a prof now and she's AWESOME.
this video is incredibly helpful! i would LOVE to have her as a professor!
