i researched on Google and found that the orgins of Legalism is unclear but some would date as far back as the teachings of the 7th century BCE statesman Kuan Chung (d. 645 BCE), prime minister of the state of Ch'i, whose teachings are supposed to be repesented by the Kuan-tzu. Other figures associated with an early form of legalism are Shang Yang (d. 338 BCE). Website information was obtain from- http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/china/legal.html
