law is just a suggestion

Depends on what you're interested in. Law is a very broad topic.
If you're into Roman Law, Max Kaser has a good manual on that, which you can compliment with Mommsen's history of Rome.
If you are into philosophy of law, Hart, Radbruch, Kelsen, Aquinas, Aristotle, etc.
I also had to read Sabine's History of Political Thought while at university.

Forgot to mention Schmitt's and Loewenstein's theories of the constitution.

Might makes right. Psychology/Sociology is more interesting.

I don't understand. Can you elaborate?

dont even bother, law is a complete joke.
walk into any top law school and ask them what positivism is, 90% would break into a sweat because its not the typical duty breach causation damages mundane shit theyre programmed for

Go to a law school website and check the recommended textbooks. Btw I can't imagine anything more autistic than wanting to learn tax law civil or family law for fun.

Unironically, start with that chapter on whaling laws in Moby Dick. It is always referenced at least once during your intro or phi of Law courses. After that you should find some history of Law, starting at least as far back as Roman law. Ancient Laws by Henry Summer Maine is *very* good here.
Otherwise, the obvious ones are the Leviathan, Montesquieu's Spirit of Laws and Kojeve's Phenomenology of Law. I could make a more comprehensive list if you wanted, it's been over a decade since I've had to brush on my phi of Law stuff, but I still have all my notes somewhere.

Happy to help.

John Austin, The Province of Jurisprudence Determined
H.L.A. Hart, The concept of Law
Ronald Dworkin, The Empire of Law
J. S. Mills, On Freedom
J Rawls, Theory of Justice
Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan
Jeremy Bentham, An introduction to the principles of morals and legislation.

Alexandre Kojeve, Phenomenology of Law
Adolf Reinach, a theory of Judgement
J-J Rousseau, The Social Contract, Constitutional Project for Corsica and Considerations on the government of Poland.

law changes from country to country so you will have to be more specific. you could spend half a decade studying law in a german university and it would mean fuck all if you move to the US for example

It's dry and not very insightful. Wouldn't recommend reading about law unless you're a lawyer.
Go study ethics instead.

>>16795800
The Bible.

I add Gierke to the suggestions.

Hard to recommend stuff because most reading materials in law school are either textbooks, case law, or law review articles. I liked Dworkin for jurisprudence but I probably would have found it impenetrable if I wasn't immersed in the subject at the time.
