However, when legal scholars have analysed this distinction in their theories (rather than simply assuming it), many have undermined it, if not dismissed it as untenable. This book considers the relevance of distinguishing between law-creation and law-application and how this transcends the boundaries of jurisprudential enquiry."-- ER -
