Ronald Dworkin (legal scholar)

Ronald Dworkin was a prominent legal philosopher known for his theory that law is rooted in moral principles and interpretive reasoning. He argued that judges should interpret laws based on the deeper principles of justice and fairness, rather than solely on written statutes or past decisions. Dworkin believed that legal decisions involve moral judgment, and that law and morality are interconnected. His ideas emphasize the importance of consistency, integrity, and moral reasoning in law, shaping how lawyers, judges, and scholars think about justice and legal interpretation.
