Abstract: The objective of this paper is to define and characterize the hermetic plenitude of Law, providing an approximation from its origins. This principle is studied starting from the main models of the judicial function (legal formalism, american legal realism, Kelsen’s positivism, Hart’s judicial discretion and the model of Dworkin’s only correct answer), concluding that this may have less two meanings: one absolute and one relative, the second being more acceptable nowadays, given the importance that, in general, the principles in the application of Law have acquired.
