From this paper
Critically examine the relevance, and subsequent non-relevance, of sociological and other external variables to the interpretation and application of law through the prism of contemporary positivism – restrict your analyses to the theories of Kelsen, Savigny, and Mr. Justice Holmes.
Neither is law neutral nor a fair description of values in society. Rather, it is an instrument expressive of power relations that aims at the oppression and domination of the masses. Critically examine the veracity of these statements.
