  Article:   SOME REMARKS CONCERNING LEGAL OBJECTIVITY.

Authors:  BOGDAN A. DICHER.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  In this paper I analyse the claim according to which law is objective. After clarifying the philosophically relevant meaning of this claim (§1), I distinguish several aspects of the thesis, concerning, respectively legal truth (§3), legal error (§4), legal determinacy (§5) and the metaphysical status of legal entities (§6). Then, I take into consideration the phenomenology of our legal practice (§7) and the apparent support it gives to claims of legal objectivity. Finally, (§§ 8-9) I stress the connection between legal objectivity and normativity and suggest that legal objectivity reduces to the conclusiveness of legal reasoning.
