Lon L. Fuller

Lon L. Fuller was an influential legal philosopher known for his ideas on the relationship between law and morality. He argued that laws should not only be rules but also possess internal moral value, meaning they should be just, fair, and consistent. Fuller is best known for his concept of the "inner morality of law," which suggests that successful legal systems must adhere to certain principles, such as clarity and stability, to function effectively. His work emphasizes the importance of aligning legal practices with ethical standards, enhancing our understanding of law's role in society.
