Dworkin (Ronald Dworkin)

Ronald Dworkin was a legal philosopher who believed that law is not just about rules but also involves moral principles. He argued that judges should interpret the law by considering its underlying principles and moral commitments, rather than solely following strict rules or precedents. Dworkin emphasized the importance of integrity in law, meaning that legal decisions should reflect coherence and consistency with moral standards. His approach encourages viewing law as a moral enterprise where principles guide fair and just interpretation, balancing the written law with ethical considerations to achieve just outcomes.
