← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

2 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Jurisprudence.

• Analogia Legis — Fill a genuine legal gap by extending the rule for a regulated case to an unregulated but relevantly similar case because the rule's justificatory reason applies to both.
• Free scientific research — A jurisprudential method that interprets and fills gaps in positive law through disciplined inquiry into social facts, values, equity and the nature of things rather than text alone.
