 | All theory construction in jurisprudence is normative in a sense that extends far beyond the general regulatory aims of conceptual analysis; jurisprudence is, on their view, normative in a way that is incompatible with the methodological claims that Hart and I, among others, have advanced. |
| The second claim of normative jurisprudence is the neutrality claim-the claim that the normativity of theory construction is neutral with respect to the variety of substantive theories of law or of the concept of it. |
| The project of normative jurisprudence is driven by an important insight-that "law" is predicate of weak commendation-but it is not one that threatens a project of descriptive jurisprudence. |
