The mode of presentation adopted involves the setting of a question of the type often asked in examinations of this nature, and the providing of an appropriate answer. The answers are not to be considered as ‘model answers’; they are intended specifically to be illustrations of the type of answer required, with particular reference to content and structure. The format is as follows: Introduction to chapter. This indicates the subject matter to be covered by the questions. Checklist. The relevant jurisprudential concepts to be tested are noted. They should be learned or revised carefully before the answer presented is considered. Question. The rubric and its specific demands should be studied carefully. ‘Comment’, ‘critically examine’, ‘outline’ are not interchangeable terms; each requires its own pattern of answering. Answer plan. This indicates the approach that is taken to the question and suggests a skeleton plan that is followed. Students should consider the advisability of planning an answer in this form; the production of a skeleton plan is a useful method of arranging content. Answer. Content and structure are of major significance and ought to be noted carefully. Notes. Details of suggested reading are given under this heading. Students who require guidance in the choice of general jurisprudence reading material might consider the following recommended texts: James Penner, Jurisprudence (2008) is an up to date and accessible guide to the subject (McCoubrey and White’s textbook on Jurisprudence, edited by James Penner (2008, Oxford University Press); Brian Bix, Jurisprudence: Theory and Context (2009, Sweet and Maxwell) is recommended as a student text, and also see N E Simmonds, Central Issues in Jurisprudence (2008, Sweet and Maxwell). Raymond Wacks, Understanding Jurisprudence (2009, Oxford University Press) is useful. A valuable addition to any jurisprudential library is A Dictionary of Legal Theory (2004, Oxford University Press) by Brian Bix, which gives helpful definitions of many jurisprudential words and phrases. Further reading Q&A jurisprudence.indb 7 09/12/2010 10:48 VIII preface includes the following: Harris, Legal Philosophies (1997, 2nd revised edition, Lexis Nexis UK); Freeman, Lloyd’s Introduction to Jurisprudence (2008, Sweet and Maxwell); Hart, The Concept of Law (1994, 2nd edition, Oxford University Press); Dworkin, Law’s Empire (1986); Davies and Holdcroft, Jurisprudence – Texts and Commentary (1991, Butterworths). A very detailed and comprehensive commentary on jurisprudence is provided by Penner, Schiff and Nobles, Jurisprudence and Legal Theory: Commentary and Materials (2005, Oxford University Press). Please try to use the most up to date versions of textbooks where available. In this fifth edition new questions appear throughout the book and new chapters appear on Common Law and Statute, Punishment and The Nature of Law.
