Project description
This essay is for my Legal Theory and Jurisprudence class and counts highly towards my grade. It should be very critical and go straight to the point. The articles I attached are the main ones that should be used, however you can add a couple sources of your own (preferably articles or books, not websites). The question is mainly to critically analyse Raz’s “service conception” and critique it backed up with different scholars.
No bibliography. Footnotes are enough.
Arguments should be very clear, concise and structured.
Also if possible, you can mention a few cases of UK case law to relate to the arguments.
Other than Raz, feel free to use Darwall, Hershovitz, Chaim Gans, and Larry Alexander.
Numbers should be paged. Font size 12.
