The Need to Interpret Legal Norms

Abstract

At present, there are numerous laws without the right conditions to be long analyzed and correlated. Therefore, many laws are not well-formulated, which sometimes confuses judges. Although the laws should be particularly clear, sometimes judges are not built on the meaning of the norms they are going to apply, only after deliberation and when they pronounce the solution in a particular cause. The legal norm is a general and mandatory rule of conduct whose purpose is to ensure the social order, the rule that can be enforced by the state and, if necessary, by coercion. All these factors that reveal the difficulty of breaking the meaning of the norm based on the words used by the legislator would appear to create so many obstacles to the uniform application of the legal norm. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome the apparent meaning of words and seek the deeper sense of the norm and its real scope of application.
