Austin's theory of law: youtu.be/0F62gA1LGfw
Hart's theory of law: youtu.be/Xg_9F2h89TE and youtu.be/4qtSYUccppc
This is a video lecture that explains the central theory, for the last two centuries, in the philosophy of law: legal positivism. I created this additional lecture because I found that the standard readings on the positivism v natural law theory debate (often as exemplified by figures like HLA Hart, Ronald Dworkin, John Finnis, and Joseph Raz) were not enough to get my students to latch on to exactly what legal positivism is.
