Who has described an ‘internal morality’ of law ?
Lon Fuller
Lon Fuller, in The Morality of Law (1964), argued that law has an 'internal morality': eight procedural desiderata (generality, promulgation, non-retroactivity, clarity, non-contradiction, possibility of compliance, constancy, and congruence between declared rule and official action).
A system failing these requirements fails to be law at all. This is a procedural natural law view, and Fuller defended it in his famous debate with H.L.A. Hart (Hart-Fuller debate, 1958).
John Finnis is associated with the modern natural law theory of basic goods (Natural Law and Natural Rights), John Rawls with justice as fairness, and H.L.A. Hart with legal positivism and the minimum content of natural law.
Hence, the answer is Lon Fuller.
