-MacCormick wrote numerous journal articles and books, concentrating both on Law in a European context and the philosophy of law. Works such as Legal Right and Social Democracy: Essays in Legal and Political Philosophy (1984), Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory (1978), Rhetoric and The Rule of Law (2005) and Institutions of Law (2007) all convey his particular brand of legal philosophy. Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory answers many of the Dworkinian critiques of the Hartian conception of law, and it is seen by some as showing a middle ground between the two.He was a Member of the European Parliament, member of the Convention on the Future of Europe, and officer of the Scottish National Party.He published seminal works on the quality of legal reasoning, on law's institutional character, on the links between law, politics and morality, and - closest of all to his political heart - on the relations between overlapping legal and political orders in an increasingly interconnected world. His productivity and creativity never waned from his first monograph - the justly celebrated Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory - published in 1978, to his monumental Law, State, and Practical Reason, the fourth and final volume of which was published in December of last year.

+Campbell's successor [[Sir Donald Neil MacCormick (1941-2009)]] was both a distinguished legal philosopher and a prominent political figure. He published widely and influentially on the quality of legal reasoning, on the institutional character of law, on the links between law, politics and morality, and on relations between overlapping legal and political systems in an increasingly interconnected world. Besides his academic career, he was a SNP Member of the European Parliament, member of the Convention on the Future of Europe, and officer of the Scottish National Party.

 The Chair was revived and radically reconstituted as a result of the [[Universities (Scotland) Act 1858]]. The Executive Commission formed to implement the Act created the new degree of LL.B in 1862, of which Public Law (now understood as Jurisprudence and International Law) was to be a vital part. The Commissioners ordained that a newly appointed Professor of Public Law 'shall deliver a course of not less than forty lectures on International Law during the Winter Session of the University yearly'.
