Abstract

ORTEGA GARCIA, Ramón. The Conventionality of Law. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2016, n.10, pp.245-288. ISSN 2448-7937.

In this essay my aim is to consider the rule of recognition of a legal system as a social convention founded on a "joint commitment". I will argue that this commitment between judges and other legal officials provides a justification for the normativity of law.

Keywords : Rule of Recognition; Social Convention; Joint Commitment; Normativity of Law; Legal Positivism.
