Vol. 33 No. 2 (2024): The Scientific Interpretation of Law and the Challenge of Legal Realism

In this issue, introduced by Thomas Acar, Thomas Hochmann proposes a conception of the scientific interpretation of law as a way to respond to the skeptical challenge coming from legal realism, with special emphasis on the version defended by French authors. Thus, Hochmann seeks to offer a refutation of Michel Troper's theory of legal interpretation, proposing an alternative conception. This gives rise to a series of responses advanced by Véronique Champeil-Desplats, Eric Millard, Arnaud Le Pillouer, and Michel Troper himself.
