Book Overview

General Theory of Law is a book written by N. M. Korkunov in 1909. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental principles of law and legal systems. Korkunov's work is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the nature of law, its sources, and its relationship to morality. The second part focuses on the structure and organization of legal systems, including the role of the judiciary, the legislative process, and the enforcement of laws.Korkunov's approach to law is heavily influenced by the positivist school of legal thought. He argues that law is a social construct that is created and enforced by human institutions. He also emphasizes the importance of legal certainty and predictability, arguing that laws must be clear and consistent in order to be effective.Throughout the book, Korkunov draws on examples from various legal systems to illustrate his points. He also engages with the work of other legal theorists, including John Austin and Hans Kelsen.General Theory of Law is a seminal work in the field of legal theory. It has been widely read and studied by legal scholars and practitioners around the world.
