Law, Institution and Legal Politics

The book explores the legal theories of Ota Weinberger, highlighting his significant contributions to the Pure Theory of Law, particularly from the Brno school of Frantisek Weyr. It emphasizes the dual nature of legal norms, which are both normative and socially existent. The foreword reflects on the limited availability of Weinberger's work in English and its relevance to English-speaking jurists, showcasing the influence of Kelsen's theory and the distinct perspectives of the Brno school within the broader context of legal positivism.
