This conception, however, is  unable to account for a variety of elements of modern legal systems  that differ significantly from the classical notions. This book  concerns the problem of which results of human activity can obtain  legal validity. The author makes use of recent findings in speech act  theory, especially John R. Searle and Daniel Vanderveken's  illocutionary logic. He sets out a theory of legal norms conceived as  institutional legal facts resulting from performances of speech acts  specified in power-conferring norms. The theory provides a  classification of acts-in-the-law and of legal norms resulting from  performances of these. Finally, the transition is made from  institutional legal facts to legal institutions. The book is a  contribution to the institutional theory of law as developed by N.  MacCormick and O. Weinberger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792324416\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8198-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 240\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311848542348,"sku":"9780792324416","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792324416.jpg?v=1771513092","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792324416","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
