As some cases can be so unclear, the judge's own arbitrary discretion will deliver the outcome, rather than what Dworkin would describe as a 'Herculean' weighting of principles. 1 1)'Hard cases' are problematic in law as they lack a clear consensus of interpretation. Prominent legal theorist H. L. A. Hart claims that judges do exercise discretion, especially in “hard cases”, where there is no pre-existing or unambiguous rule. To this matter, Hart’s brilliant student Ronald Dworkin offers an alternative theory, which argues that judges do not have discretion and should follow principles instead of rules, even in “hard cases”. 2013-04-01 · Dworkin has long claimed that recourse to the background affords a necessary and sufficient resource to support legal decisions in cases where the foreground is disputed or indeterminate. According to CLS (taken as a general approach), the background is so riven with contradiction as to be capable of supporting any result, and thus inadequate for definitive recourse.

Dworkin seeks to show that there is a third thing judges do to decide cases: they use what he calls My chief concern, therefore, will be to identify the core issue around which the Hart–Dworkin debate is organized. Is the debate, for example, about whether the law contains principles as well as rules? Or does it concern whether judges have discretion in hard cases? Hard case segundo Ronald Dworkin.

For Dworkin, law embraces moral and political as RONALD DWORKIN**.

In hard cases, Hart stated that judges act as deputy of legislature and it is here that Dworkin disagreed. Dworkin expect a judge to not legislate in hard cases but rather gather a solution from the existing set of rules and principles to maintain integrity and consistency. He identified three stages in the process of interpretation:-

Some believe Hart resigned as a result of the criticism aimed at him by Dworkin. The majority of cases that arrive before a judge are uncontentious and a result is arrived at by applying the existing rules of law, Hart calls these plain cases.

The features of the Anglo American legal system that Dworkin claims cannot be accommodated to such a "master-test model" are described by the following three propositions, all of which Dworkin asserts and all of which I take to be different ways of expi:essing a similar idea: Dworkin on Hart. According to Hart, judges decide cases in one of two ways: They apply legal rules to the facts in the case before them.

The legal positivists hold that judges have to exercise a discretionary power, not ultimately constrained by law, to decide such cases. Ronald Dworkin has. For example, his insistence that judges consider legal and moral principles when confronting hard cases, does not require the elimination of all discretion.

Dworkin’s jurisprudence is mainly about adjudication, especially in common-law systems, which assign a significant role for judges. He thinks there is always a right answer to a legal case and it is the duty of judges to find it. They draw on principles to settle hard cases. In an early New York state case (Riggs v.

But when it comes to the hard cases, it gets very difficult to decide with regard to its legal context, Dworkin defines hard cases as ‘no settled rule dictates a decision either way’. The judge’s intuitive judgement is very important and a hard case occurs when this intuitive judgement is unsettled.
