Hart, H(erbert) L(ionel) A(dolphus) (1907–1993)| English jurist and philosopher. In The Concept of Law 1961, he argued that rules of obligation are felt to be necessary for society to function and that they are maintained through social pressure. A legal system is a union of primary rules (those which govern behaviour) and secondary rules (those which identify and modify primary rules). |
| He was professor of jurisprudence at Oxford University 1952–68. |
