Soft Positivism

Soft Positivism is a jurisprudential theory within legal positivism that holds that while law is fundamentally a social fact, the sources of law may include moral principles when they are incorporated into legal systems through recognized rules or practices, thereby distinguishing it from hard positivism by allowing a limited role for morality in legal validity.
