Geoff, I would put near the top of my list Wesley Hohfeld’s two-part article, “Fundamental Legal Conceptions as Applied in Judicial Reasoning,” 23 & 26 Yale L.J. 16 & 710 (1913 & 1917). It was republished with a preface by Walter Wheeler Cook and is freely available on the Internet Archive in its original version:http://www.archive.org/details/fundamentallegal00hohfuoft. More than a century later, we are still discovering how insightful Hohfeld was about the terms used to describe the component parts of obligations (rights, duties, privileges, etc.).

Subject: Nominations for up to three classic "obligations" articles that all good law postgrads should read

 

Dear Colleagues 

 

Next New Zealand  academic year ( March 2019)  I am running an honours class based on the idea of reading each week a couple of a “classic” articles that all post grad students  and academics should have read. I probably have about three or four slots for private law/obligations writing and was wondering what people on the list might suggest as classics of the” obligations” school or private law more generally.

 

All suggestions gratefully received

 

Many thanks 

 

Geoff
