Outlines of Pure Jurisprudence.
LeBuffe, Francis P. Outlines of Pure Jurisprudence. New York: Fordham University Press, 1924. v, 156 pp. Publisher's red cloth with gilt stamped spine, very good. Ink signature to front free endpaper ("Timothy T. Crown Oct 4th 1927). Small pencil annotation to p. 77 and 81, otherwise internally clean. $65. * Originating as a curated series of lectures delivered at the Fordham University School of Law, this classic manual seeks to substantiate fundamental human rights and constitutional liberties against the early twentieth-century rise of totalitarian and absolutist legal philosophies. Father LeBuffe, a prominent Jesuit scholar and jurisprudence professor, details a traditional, neo-Scholastic model of natural law, contrasting it directly against positive legal theories that separate judicial rules from moral foundations. By organizing complex jurisprudential doctrines into systematic classroom diagrams and definitions, the text operates as a defensive blueprint for the preservation of traditional American constitutionalism within modern legal education.
