Description
LJU4801 May/June Exam Memo | Due 1 June 2026. All questions fully answered. QUESTION 1:
Carefully consider the following pronouncement made by Martin Luther King Jr. in
his famous “Letter from Birmingham Jail” on 16 April 1963:
One may well ask: “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?”
The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would
be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral
responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey
unjust laws.1
Identify the legal philosophical approach that Martin Luther King Jr. advocates in his
letter and explain how this approach originated and developed.
