Normative Positions: Against the Dual View
Wesley Hohfeld’s (1913; 1917) framework of legal positions is an example of a largely successful theoretical inquiry with practical consequences, including for legal argumentation. But it remains the object of intense debate. As has long been clear, Hohfeld’s original account needs amendment. His tables display four pairs of what he termed “opposites”: duty/liberty, claim-right/no-right, power/disability, and liability/immunity. Yet there is no s…
Is There a Right to Revelatory Autonomy
We address the question of when it is permissible to interfere in the “transformative choices” of others—choices whether or not to undergo experiences that provide us with knowledge we can only get by undergoing them, and which as a result transform our core values and preferences.

Arguing a fortiori
Courts and lawyers often argue a fortiori . Sometimes they actually use the Latin phrase to indicate that their conclusions do not just follow, but ‘follow a fortiori ’ from certain premises.

Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld's account of legal rights is now 100 years old. It has been much discussed, and remains very influential with philosophers and lawyers alike. Yet it is still sometimes misunderstood in crucial respects. This article offers a rigorous exposition (with some revisions) of Hohfeld's framework; discusses its claims to comprehensiveness and fundamentality, reviewing recent work on the topic; and highlights the argumentative uses …
