Item description from seller

ISBN-13: 9781616190514; ISBN-10:1616190515. Landmark in the Development of Analytical Jurisprudence Hohfeld, Wesley. Fundamental Legal Conceptions as Applied in Judicial Reasoning. Edited by Walter Wheeler Cook, with a New Foreword by Arthur L. Corbin. Originally published: New Haven: Yale University Press, 1964. xv, 114 pp. Reprinted 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781616190514; ISBN-10:1616190515. Paperback. New. $15.95 * A classic work of analytical jurisprudence that introduces a system for clarifying legal terminology. The book aims to provide a precise framework for understanding and applying fundamental legal concepts, such as "rights" and "duties," which are often used loosely in legal and everyday discourse. Hohfeld argued that much confusion in legal reasoning stemmed from using a single term, like "right," to describe four distinct legal positions: a claim-right, a privilege (or liberty), a power, or an immunity. His framework serves as a powerful analytical tool for lawyers, judges, and scholars to "split the atom of legal discourse" and determine the exact legal position of parties in a dispute. Foundation of Jurisprudence: The essays in this book (originally published as two articles in the Yale Law Journal in 1913 and 1917) have become a standard part of legal thinking and a foundational text in analytical jurisprudence, influencing U.S. Supreme Court opinions and legal documents like the Restatement (First) of Property. This edition is distinguished by the foreword by Arthur L. Corbin, author of the renowned Corbin on Contracts.
